Summary
Zibby is joined by Dr. Yael Schonbrun, a clinical psychologist, assistant professor at Brown University, parenting coach, podcaster, mother of three, and author of Work, Parent, Thrive: 12 Science-Backed Strategies to Ditch Guilt, Manage Overwhelm, and Grow Connection (When Everything Feels Like Too Much). Dr. Schonbrun talks about using positive psychology to reassess working parenthood, the power of the “incubation effect” (when you step away from a problem and the answers just come to you!), and the benefits of switching between work and parenting to access creativity, rest, and perspective-giving wisdom. Then, the two share their experiences balancing work and parenting, and their thoughts on stress (it can be good!).
