We're thrilled to welcome Emily McCann, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Curriculum Associates, and Dave Dubois, Senior Director of Business Transformation at Curriculum Associates, to share their firsthand experiences. These two busy bees manage to keep it together, with Emily juggling four kids and pets in her bustling home, and Dave nurturing his growing family. Hear their secrets on setting boundaries, creating family moments, and achieving long-term balance.

Now, we all know that it's not just about the work-life balance, right? It's also about carving out time for self-care amid the hustle. Dave and Emily, with our co-hosts Danielle and Sari, elaborate on this in the second part of our episode. They cover strategies they use to make time for themselves, ranging from physical activity to focusing on gratitude through "Joy Jars"! It's not just about compartmentalizing your professional and personal lives, but ensuring you have the time to recharge and find joy, even in the busiest of schedules. So buckle up for an insightful, heartfelt conversation on work, life, and the happiness that lies within the balance.
