Listen to the episode for my take on this, and what I now see as a client red flag. There are so many factors at play with these decisions: Parenting stage Business stage Boundaries Mindset Transparency What ‘doing a good job’ looks and feels like for you I've taken a few different approaches to this over the years, with varying degrees of success.
