A conversation about partnerships, work and support in Sweden
In this episode of Work Family Me, I chat with Johanna Lennartson.
Johanna Lennartson is a Swedish woman in her early 40s, living in Stockholm with her partner and two daughters (8 and 11). Johanna is a seasoned professional with decades of experience in global mobility.
She currently works full-time as the MD for a successful Swedish immigration and relocation company and balances that with parenting while her partner travels for work, keeping the dishes under control, and walking her chocolate Labrador.
How? Let's ask her.
In this episode, we discuss:
The challenges and benefits of having a partner who works away from home
What’s “normal” in Sweden
Some strategies for saying yes to your children (even when the to do list feels endless)
A very unusual mindset around doing dishes (and one that has a lot of power)
Community and support
Permission (or not) for being messy humans
Delegation and sustainability vs perfection and control (whew this is a biggie, right?)
I hope you enjoyed this conversation with Johanna and got some value from the discussions, habits and relationships she shares with us.
Thank you so much for tuning in to the Work Family Me podcast. Please 1) share it with a friend who might benefit and 2) give it a five-star review so that more humans can find it!
