Overwhelmed: Work, Love and Play When No One Has The Time with Brigid Schulte

This week on the podcast we're joined by bestselling author and director of the Better Life Lab, Brigid Schulte. Brigid and I mainly talk about her book, Overwhelmed: Work, Love and Play When No One Has The Time.

Sound familiar? 

I fall into the constantly busy category, so Brigid and I discussed how this happened to women in the first place, where women can find more leisure time, how the average worker can try and change their working environment, and how to diminish the desire to 'be it all all the time'.
