Episode 8: Nothing in Life is 50/50

Published: May 17, 2021, 2 a.m.

After two heavy episodes, the women behind NAPS switch gears to discuss a much lighter topic. \xa0Jamie and Emily reconvene to talk about the parallels between running a business partnership and their home lives.

When Jamie and Emily started this business in 2011, they were loving the \u201cside hustle\u201d of NAPS, enjoying their new dogs, living \u201ckid-free\u201d, and splitting all the work 50/50. Just like everything else, things change.

In 2015, Jamie and Emily decided to pursue their true passion and make the business full time. They each had 2 girls, all under the age of 3\u2026 \xa0all in diapers. While juggling pregnancies, delivery/recovery, family emergencies and life in general, there was now a full time business that demanded time, effort and a significant amount of energy. \xa0They quickly learned that you cannot be everything, to everyone, all at once.

On this episode, Jamie and Emily discuss ditching the unrealistic expectation of perfection, listening and attending to things that are demanding your attention. This means changing the conversation to manage realistic expectations and, therefore, giving necessary support.

As a reminder, these aspects of life change day to day, week to week, and even moment to moment. Running on empty is not sustainable and we are here to support you and offer help in any way we can.
