Lastly, we discuss the importance of challenging the rules that we have adopted and taking responsibility for our lives.
(0:24:52) - Balancing Social Roles (12 Minutes)
This conversation explores the complexities and struggles of finding balance between motherhood and entrepreneurship. We examine the underlying issues of social roles theory, where society values certain roles more than others, which can lead to feelings of guilt when making a decision to prioritize one role over another. We look at the idea that time is a logistical question and can be solved in many ways, and that the real challenge lies in finding harmony between conflicting roles.

We explore the complexities of global politics and the struggles of living with the government's decisions, especially during the pandemic. We examine the differences between societies and how those differences affect our ability to make decisions for ourselves. We look at how those born into less fortunate circumstances can be trapped in a cage that they can't break out of. We also analyze why governments need to be responsible for taking care of everyone, not just those who are privileged. Finally, we emphasize the importance of being engaged in politics and the potential consequences of not doing so.
(0:44:39) - Lessons on Advice and Taking Risks (7 Minutes)

Finally, we discuss why taking risks is important and how small changes can have a big impact.

Finally, we tackle the idea of having a one-stop shop to help you reach your goals.
