Do’s & Don’ts: How to Get Back on Track After a Vacation

My parents, partner, and I recently got back from an awesome trip to Washington DC.

There’s a word that comes up quite often when I talk with women in midlife: “I need to be more selfish with my time.” “But, I don’t want to seem selfish.” “Geez, I’m using the word ‘Me’ and ‘I’ a lot and it sounds selfish.” That word “selfish” comes up a lot because I talk to ladies every day who have put themselves last on their list for too long.
