This episode is about why consciously defining the hours you're working on household responsibilities or care tasks matters. Women are raised to always be working and always giving our time to others. Therefore some unlearning of this pattern may be needed. First, I share why the idea of "working hours" at home is critically important. Then I'll share my experience, including exactly how I decided to define and implement the concept of working hours.Whether you are an unpaid working mother at home or a paid working mother, actively setting boundaries on your working hours is truly essential to your mental and emotional well-being. Every minute you spend contributing to the success of your household is work. As a society, we are raised to believe that women's time is endless. This belief is one of the central issues, and it's the primary reason defining your working hours at home is essential.I invite you to get curious about the number of hours each day you're currently working, paid and unpaid. Setting boundaries by explicitly outlining for others when you're working and when you're not, teaches them how to treat you and your time. Following this framework is hard, and feeling guilt or resistance is natural as you begin shifting your mindset. But if you are ready to change how you approach working hours at home and want support in this area of your life, I am excited to take that journey with you.In the meantime ask yourself these questions to determine if your beliefs are aligned with how you want to be showing up:What was I raised to believe about the hours a woman should be working?How are those long-held beliefs serving me or contributing to my exhaustion?How could clearly defined working hours give me permission to drop the guilt and restore my energy?MENTIONED ON THIS EPISODE:05 | The Myth of Domestic PerfectionRESOURCE:Interested in self-coaching?
