    Wow, thank you. I can relate as a law student/new mom. ♥️

    I like the idea of leaning into parenting. Very interesting about Sweden. What about single mother's? How would Sweden deal with that? US? High performing single mothers on the verge of maxing out? Great ideas. We need to expand the conversation.

    Great talk except for one glaring oversight: no mention of the 10 million single moms in the US who do all of this, and more, with no relief in sight. When I had MY burn out, I had no safety net, no other income, or anyone to finance a business. I, too, started a blog, which provides a release, but no income. If we are to ask for policy change, we need statistics, and to not overlook the exponential challenges single moms face.

    This is such an important issue. Maxing out is just one of the by-products of an unsympathetic, hyper-capitalist, corporate-subsidized government. In a country where money buys your children better education, better healthcare, and better basic necessities, it's no surprise to see parents struggle, to see children fail, and to see the fraying of a system that once held so much promise.

    Christ almighty, it's taken her years and a blog to find out what the new york times, Washington post and the Independent can tell you in 20 minutes. Nice one. Very useful.

    "Tailor their jobs to benefit their lives" so what you're saying is the US competes with China by giving employees any old flexible time off and hours to suit? Yes that will work off the national debt. I think someone has NO IDEA about business. I'll straighten this out. The business that wins is the one that makes the most money. Cheaper overheads longer hours and less breaks = higher profits.
