The Work-Life Equation
Real Stories. Real Talk. Real Life.
This week on the podcast Priya and Paul speak with Jessica Fein, author of Breath Taking: A Memoir of Family, Dreams, and Broken Genes which chronicles her family's journey caring for their daughter Dalia, who was diagnosed with a rare degenerative disease at age 5.
Jessica opens up about the range of emotions — fear, grief, guilt — that came with being a caregiver while also working full-time and raising her three children. She also shares candid insights about navigating relationships, finding support systems, and the judgment she faced for continuing to work while caring for her daughter.
