The Exit Interview with Kim Rittberg

New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Project Gretchen Rubin has easy tips on how to find joy even when you’re an exhausted parent, a tip to improve your life in just 1 minute, whether you shouldn’t just quit your job on a dime, and why she dislikes when people complain about the vague ‘burnout.’ She’s also answering listener questions including how to be present with your kids, how to get better sleep and how to find energy after a long draining day of work and more (one of them compares us to puppies!). Her 5 bestselling books have sold over 3.5 million copies and her podcast Happier has won awards - you definitely want her life-changing insights about happiness, habits and human nature! We also come up with a sorta awesome and bonkers idea for a children’s book. Plus in our Real Mom Moment, Sonni Abatta of the We Gotta Talk podcast’s son showed his appreciation in the sweetest way. **Don’t forget to ‘follow’ and leave a rating & review!* LINKS: https://moms-exit-interview.com Newsletter Sign-Up | Follow Host Kim Rittberg @kimrittberg GUESTS: http://gretchenrubin.com | Happier with Gretchen Rubin Podcast We Gotta Talk podcast @sonniabattaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
