It’s easy to feel like you’re your most productive self when you’re multitasking. We’re checking emails while preparing dinner, scheduling social media posts while on a Zoom meeting, and taking conference calls in the car en route to an appointment. Even though we’re checking things off our to-do list, have we lost our focus?   

A few years ago, we hosted an event featuring a panel of incredible female entrepreneurs. One of them, Brenda Hayes-Williams, said something that stopped us in our tracks. “Not all money is good money,” she told the room. What she was referring to is the fact that sometimes the financial gain from a venture or project is not worth the toll it takes on you, your current business, or your personal life.    

The topic of protecting our mental health is near and dear to our friend, Nicole Brown, who is not only a full-time employee at Butler Snow LLP, but also has another role as a fashion and lifestyle blogger at Lelia's Southern Charm. We asked her to share with us her advice for taking care of ourselves while establishing boundaries between work and home life.
