So a little bit about Laura.

She is the author, most recently, of Big Time, A Simple Path to Time Abundance, and several other time management books, including I Know How She Does It and 168 Hours.

She's the host of the Before Breakfast podcast and the co-host with Sarah Hart Unger of the Best of Both Worlds podcast, which I will note, the Mindful Return community that I lead loves, loves, loves, loves that podcast and has for a very long time.

Laura lives just outside of Philadelphia with her husband and her five children, who are now 19, 16, 14, 11, and six.
