I'm Sarah and I'm Beth.

We're lawyers, mothers, and co-hosts of the bipartisan podcast, Pantsuit Politics.

We have more in common than divides us.

In a world that defaults to false dichotomies, we explore the messiness of living wisely.

The choices, trade-offs, priorities, and grace of living a nuanced life.

Hello everyone, thanks for joining us for another episode of the New Ones Life.

I wanted to do something a little different today because we had a number of advice questions

that sort of revolved around similar themes.

And I'm going to loosely categorize those themes as, how do I adapt in my work life and

how do I adapt in my family life for what is going to be a long stretch of the in between?

Where things are reopening, lots of us are still working from home, there are still restrictions

in place.

What's our approach across the board here?

And we thought we would begin today by sharing one shift that has happened for us at Pantsuit

Politics given this changing landscape.

I think what happened in the very beginning is we had two instincts that weren't bad,

but as this stretches out in time, they have begun to work at cross purposes.

The first instinct was good.

We said we can only do one thing a day.

Like we can simply only do a thing a day.

Record a show, do an interview, have a phone call.

Because our kids are home, we just had to dramatically dial back our expectations.
