Summary

Lauren's business took off right after she became a parent, and now she's caught between two things pulling at her time. Should the business get the same energy that made it grow, or does motherhood come first? Preston and Lindsay Pinchuk, who built her own company while raising kids, unpack why "balance" is the wrong goal entirely and what to focus on instead—setting boundaries, learning to say no, and asking for help before you're forced to.
