Mia is having a moment — and by moment, we mean a full-blown existential crisis — over the ‘Four Burners Theory.’
In today’s subscriber episode, Mia and Amelia Lester are unpacking whether work-life balance is actually just a series of deliberate choices about which burner you're willing to turn off. Plus, Mia has an epiphany as she realises she’s been turning down the ‘friends’ burner for the past twenty years.
Also, they discuss the new generation of celebrity mums like Kylie Jenner and Jennifer Lawrence who treat family and motherhood as a side note rather than their public persona.
Whether you're in a 'family', 'friends', 'health' or 'work' season, this conversation is the permission slip you didn't know you needed to stop striving for the impossible.
