TIMESTAMPS
• [4:28] “There has never been a perfect parent, and there is never going to be a perfect one.”
• [11:04] Dr. Arleo on thinking of time in 168 hours a week instead of 24 hour chunks: “The math is you still have over 60 hours after work and sleep for your priorities, whatever they may be for your family and friends, or your community… it helps in figuring out what our priorities are, and knowing there's time for that.”
• [18:03] “If it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to start with a larger one. Meaning that's to take care of the most important thing as early as possible in the day or week, or whatever time period you're dealing with.”
• [25:03] Dr. Arleo emphasizes: “Stop over apologizing, particularly for professional working mothers, but applicable to all genders.”
