Quotes "Ultimately at the end of the day how I funded this was accepting that there was no other option but to take this break. And I had to do whatever it took, whatever I could do to make it work." "I track all of the numbers in our life... And so that's really important because I'm never surprised. I always know what's going on, which gives me power. Power of choice and power to do something about my situation if I don't like it." "Plan for this. Even if you think you don't need it, plan for the extended break or the maternity leave or the sabbatical or whatever it is. And if you don't ever need it, you just got the bank, right?"
