First Eat Your Frog, and Other Pearls for Professional Working Mothers
In this episode, DJ invited Dr. Elizabeth Arleo to the show to talk about her book “First Eat Your Frog and Other Pearls for Professional Working Mothers.” Listen in to hear about the art of setting priorities and learning to give ourselves that much needed dose of grace. Stay tuned as they explore the secrets to reclaiming your time, finding joy in parenting, achieving that elusive work life harmony and to be reminded that it is perfectly okay to let a few balls drop.
Dr. Elizabeth Kagan Arleo is a Board-Certified radiologist specializing in Breast and Body Imaging. Her book, FIRST, EAT YOUR FROG is a meticulously referenced book presenting eight lessons (or "pearls") learned by a successful woman in medicine; including improved work-life integration; more easeful relationships with work colleagues and family; better time management in both spheres; and core tenets for thriving as a professional working mother.
TIMESTAMPS
• [4:28] “There has never been a perfect parent, and there is never going to be a perfect one.”
• [11:04] Dr. Arleo on thinking of time in 168 hours a week instead of 24 hour chunks: “The math is you still have over 60 hours after work and sleep for your priorities, whatever they may be for your family and friends, or your community… it helps in figuring out what our priorities are, and knowing there's time for that.”
• [18:03] “If it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to start with a larger one. Meaning that's to take care of the most important thing as early as possible in the day or week, or whatever time period you're dealing with.”
• [25:03] Dr. Arleo emphasizes: “Stop over apologizing, particularly for professional working mothers, but applicable to all genders.”
