With everything that went down in 2020, more people are faced with the whole work/life balance issue than ever before. But this time, there was much more at stake. We went from the hustle and grind workday to juggling virtual school with making sure our own sales goals and deadlines were met.

I’ve been told by a number of particularly nasty misogynists that I need to go back to the kitchen because that’s where women belong. I don’t make a habit of listening to misogynists, but I will say, one of the most profound and impactful epiphanies for my business came as a...
