150: Making Good Book Club #13: Drop The Ball
Let’s talk about Drop the Ball. This book is part memoir, part advice and is really all about empowering you to do something that many of us find extremely difficult to do: Drop the Ball. The book covers the unrealistic and even impossible expectations that society has for how we – especially women – balance work and life, and offers some practical strategies for finding ways to take things off our plate, even when that’s super hard.
In this book club episode, we talk about:
The status quo of how households are managed
How to split responsibilities more evenly
The role of the mental load in household management
The difficulty and power in letting go of control
Why it’s so important to get clear on what really matters
And much more.
This book was a really really interesting one and I’m so excited to hear your thoughts on it, too.
