From a young age, women are conditioned to take on more for less — whether it’s in the workplace, housework, raising children, or other unpaid labor. Today’s guest is inviting us to let go of some of these expectations and find freedom in dropping the ball. In this special replay episode, I speak to Tiffany Dufu — author of Drop the Ball: Achieving More by Doing Less and the founder of The Cru, an organization dedicated to helping women reach their professional goals. We discussed the many ways and reasons why women often take on more than they need to, and how in the process of letting go, find new freedom to achieve more in their professional and personal lives.
