Delving into the power of intentional family forecasting, techniques to maintain a thriving marriage, and how to balance professional and personal lives, Naketa welcomes the dynamic Nicole Kalil, an expert in gender equity and the host of the "This is Woman's Work" podcast. Nicole shares her innovative concept of "family forecasting," a biannual ritual where she and her husband align their professional goals, finances, and family values. This practice, she explains, has been crucial in maintaining a strong marital connection and setting a positive example for their 10-year-old daughter. Nicole also discusses the importance of prioritizing tasks that truly matter, as well as the need to distinguish between simply being good at something and being passionately engaged. Tune in to discover actionable insights and inspiring stories to elevate your journey towards balanced living.
