A conversation about running a business, homeschooling, and partnerships in America

In this episode of Work Family Me, I chat with Sara Vartore, a U. S. business owner, entrepreneur, peak performance coach, mother of two, homeschooler, and just general all-around awesome woman.

One of the things that I love the most about this conversation is that there's almost a step-by-step guide on how to start experimenting with having some time just to yourself. We really get into what some reframes around that might be and different things you could try to make it happen.

We have another really beautiful conversation around redefining masculinity as we redefine roles together as a couple, as a partnership, and as a family. 

There is so much goodness around transitions over time, around intentionality, exercise, movement, and support. 

Sara Vatore is an American national living in Massachusetts, US with her husband and two sons (10 and 18). 

She is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Peak Performance Coach, and Level 2 MELT Method Instructor who runs a business working with humans, homeschools her children, deals with mountains of laundry on a regular basis, and files her taxes on time. 

How? Let's ask her.

In this episode, we discuss: 

  • The behind the scenes of growing a business

  • Some tips for handling the discomfort of handing over responsibilities

  • A different way of doing a week

  • What might help soften and shift self-criticism around time alone

  • The nitty gritty of chores and getting sh*t done with 2 working humans

  • Some conversation around what it means to “provide”

  • What it really means to “provide”

I hope you enjoyed listening to this conversation with Sara and the peek into her life. I’d love for us all to experiment with the discomfort of blank space. So edgy for all of us “do-ers”. How can you do that this week?

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!
