Solving for challenges in two-career homes: a live coaching session

Scared Confident

Life is all about choices. And if you and your spouse have chosen to raise your family in a 2 career home, there can be specific challenges that arise. How do you solve for things like who does what chores, and when? Who pays the bills? How do we know what we’re spending month to month? How can I better support my spouse when I barely have time for anything else?

Tiffany has lots of thoughts on this topic, so she welcomes Kyler and Morgan Mason on the podcast to test out some practical solving exercises she’s been working on. In this question and answer format, Tiffany listens in as the Masons share some of the pitfalls that they encounter as they try to get through their busy work weeks and care for their kids. Tiffany helps by giving her tips for creating systems and setting minimums for smoother weeks and a functional household.
