Dan Harris on What to Do When Your Career Conflicts with your Family

He’s one of my favorite humans, and I refuse to censor him; that’s why this conversation is spicier than usual. Dan Harris was my "work husband" for a long time at Good Morning America, where we co-anchored the weekend edition of GMA.  A few years ago, Dan made a bold and scary decision. One that caused him much anxiety. He walked away from ABC News to spend more time with his family.  So, what do you do when your career and family don’t align? When it conflicts with who you want to be? Dan talks about how he wrestled with the decision, why he ultimately walked away, and the extreme pressure most men feel to provide.  Today, you’ll find Dan working from home on his 10% Happier podcast and meditation app and enjoying his existence as an “ex-anchorman.”  Life Happens.
