Just like nearly everyone else on the planet, my husband and I recently finished Adolescence, the new British mini series explodingon Netflix. The show is raw, entertaining and incredibly well produced (each episode is filmed in just one take without any cuts) and has stirred up a lot of conversations online. If you haven’t watched it yet, you absolutely should, but I’ll give you my main takeaways (without spoilers although the show isn’t really spoilable).

Before diving into this weekā€™s piece on self-care, I thought it would be helpful to hear from some of you! I realize I come from a place of immense privilegeā€” I work on my own schedule, my husband is a stay-at-home dad, I have access to childcare etc.

This week I posted to Instagram “rating” my transitions with each new baby from 1-10, 10 being the hardest. Wheeewwww there were so many comments and they were ALL. OVER. THE. MAP! I was shocked at how so many people could have such similar experiences but then how many people had the complete OPPOSITE ratings that I had. It goes to show that this is so individual and depends on lots of factors.
