Episode 20: Lauren Fischetti

In this episode, we sit down with Lauren Fischetti, a former director at Affirm turned career and life coach in the Bay Area. Lauren, who is a mother of two young children aged 3 and 1.5, shares her insights on parenthood and finding a balance between work and family responsibilities. One of the key points Lauren emphasizes is the importance of being intentional about how you allocate your time between work and home life after having children. She acknowledges that priorities may shift on a daily basis, but it's essential to accept that you may not be able to work as intensely as before. Lauren offers practical strategies for achieving work-life balance, including scheduling activities around her parenting responsibilities and carving out "me" time. A valuable tip she offers to new parents is to carefully consider the roles they want work and family to play in their lives and to approach this decision with mindfulness and reflection. If you're in search of a life and career coach to help navigate these challenges and/or help you figure out what you want to do next, you can connect with Lauren Fischetti on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauren-fischetti/.
