Jewelyn currently serves Melwood, a 501(c)(3) organization serving people with disabilities, as the Vice President of government relations, bringing with her 15 years of experience in public policy, lobbying, and advocacy. Outside of work, Jewelyn is passionate about elevating the needs of mothers and families and serves as the treasurer of Raising Our Future Political Action Committee, a PAC that’s aimed at electing congressional candidates that prioritize the needs of families.  Jewelyn’s work has been focused on promoting and empowering parents to negotiate and advocate for their needs. She lives in Asheville, Virginia with her husband Greg, two children, and their two amazing cats. She is an alumna of the Mindful Return program and continues to serve the program as a coach to new mums. Jewelyn shares how Lori’s program, Mindful Return, helped her with her career and motherhood and highlights the fact that being a working mom, especially with more than one kid, means more work and a bigger family that you'll want to keep happy and strong.  Organizational skills become more important than ever when you mix in growing your career, and Jewelyn has learned to manage “balancing” her time on a weekly basis, instead of getting obsessed about day-to-day work-life balance. You’ll want to join this lively conversation to learn more about life as a parent who works on Capitol Hill, the challenges of working in government affairs and parenting at the same time, navigating challenging conversations with your kids, and most importantly, how to figure out your own effective way of successfully parenting your kids while growing your career.

Many working parents believe the myth that you either have to sacrifice home life or business success—you cannot have both. My guest, Dan Kuschell, is here to tell you that this simply isn’t true! Dan is a serial entrepreneur with 12 successful businesses to his name. He delights in training budding business owners to use strategies to get more clients and develop a business that works for them. Dan’s success has been great, but he considers his family the greatest blessing of all. His path has always been inherently tied to his wife and children, and today Dan is going to show you how he does it.  After a severe health scare, Dan knew he needed to make some changes. His busy lifestyle included many sleepless nights and poor choices that built up to the breaking point. Luckily, Dan believed in the power of coaching, and he sought the help he needed to balance and repurpose his life. Dan thinks that there are three questions every working parent needs to ask themselves. What do you want? Who are you? What do you stand for? Dan has managed to not just balance, but integrate his parenting into his businesses. He prioritizes time with his children and makes business decisions with the family in mind. It’s all about his mindset from the outset, and you can get that mindset too! Listen this week to start making some changes in your own life.  Show Highlights: Dan has helped 12 different startups grow and get “unstuck.”  What being a parent has taught Dan about running businesses.  Be grateful for the joys that being a working parent can give you.  Mindset should be our focus.  The 3 big fears we need to overcome.  Integrate, rather than try to balance between work and life.  Dan learned from burnout that he needed to change some bad habits.  Get a coach!  The three questions you should ask yourself to change your life.  Dan has resources available to you who might be ready to start a business.  Why Marketing is like football.  A piece of technology that Dan would recommend for making life a little easier.  The books that Dan uses to bring some balance to his life.    Resources: Dan’s   Dan on Dan's Recommended Tool: Dan's Recommended Books: </span> <span class="episode-link">/episode/index/show/parentsatwork/id/6339930</span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col s12 m6 xl4 episode-card card-hidden"> <div class="card"> <div class="card-image"> <a href="/episode/index/show/parentsatwork/id/6198837"><img src="https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/6198837?width=350&height=350"></a> </div> </div> <div class="card-info"> <a class="more-info-btn right modal-trigger" href="#episodeModal"><i class="material-icons">info_outline</i></a> <span class="card-title"><a href="/episode/index/show/parentsatwork/id/6198837">10: Balancing Business, Fatherhood and Relationships with Your Kids with Justin Batt of Daddy Saturday</a></span> <span class="card-date">01/16/2018</span> <div class="card-reveal" style="display: none;"> <span class="episode-title" data-image="https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/6198837?width=350&height=350" data-date="01/16/2018">10: Balancing Business, Fatherhood and Relationships with Your Kids with Justin Batt of Daddy Saturday</span> <span class="episode-description">Fatherhood is one of life’s greatest responsibilities, and yet so many of us feel completely unequipped for the role. Many first time and long time dads find it difficult to engage with their children, or otherwise feel overwhelmed with the pressures of work. How can we begin to redefine Fatherhood, and start building up intentional relationships with our kids? Luckily, we have places like Daddy Saturday to turn to. I’m talking to Justin Batt, Chief Daddy at Daddy Saturday, about how he has transformed his relationship with his kids, even as a working parent.    Daddy Saturday is a website dedicated to building resources and communities for fathers. It started when Justin’s oldest daughter was born, and he found himself being the sole caregiver on Saturdays while Mom was at work. These Saturdays with his kids became precious as he intentionally planned ways to have quality time, rather than simply checking out on his phone or becoming preoccupied with work. Now, he and his children are having grand adventures and encouraging people from across the world to do the same.    Justin is going to share all of his tips for Dads who want to transform their relationships with their kids. While it does require a mindset shift and a commitment to put the phone down, building intentional relationships with kids is incredibly easy. Fatherlessness is currently in a state of crisis, but Dads like Justin are trying to take back Saturday and encourage Dads to engage and take ownership of their responsibility. Yes, life and technology have their pressures and influences, but Justin is going to show us how easily we can build habits that will impact our children for a lifetime.   More in this episode:  •    Being intentional and engaging with his kids on a Saturday became a community phenomenon.  •    How Justin is encouraging other dads to change how they approach their weekends with kids.  •    Fatherhood is a huge responsibility, but it’s also an opportunity.  •    Be there for your kids during breakfast, or any other rallying point.  •    Questions you can use to engage your kids.  •    Why experiencing failure as kids can make strong adults.  •    Justin tells the story of how he and his wife became business partners and life partners.  •    Advice for Dads who want to start being more intentional.  •    What is launching next for Justin and Daddy Saturday?  •    A little bit of planning makes a world of difference.  •    How to engage your kids as they get older.  •    Focus on peak performance in our parenting, not just our career or our health.  •    Learn all the nuts and bolts of how Justin runs Daddy Saturday.  •    Sometimes, low-tech is best.   Links      </span> <span class="episode-link">/episode/index/show/parentsatwork/id/6198837</span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col s12 m6 xl4 episode-card card-hidden"> <div class="card"> <div class="card-image"> <a href="/episode/index/show/parentsatwork/id/6125777"><img src="https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/6125777?width=350&height=350"></a> </div> </div> <div class="card-info"> <a class="more-info-btn right modal-trigger" href="#episodeModal"><i class="material-icons">info_outline</i></a> <span class="card-title"><a href="/episode/index/show/parentsatwork/id/6125777">09: How to Get More and Better Sleep as a Parent: A Conversation with Dr. Michael Breus</a></span> <span class="card-date">12/26/2017</span> <div class="card-reveal" style="display: none;"> <span class="episode-title" data-image="https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/6125777?width=350&height=350" data-date="12/26/2017">09: How to Get More and Better Sleep as a Parent: A Conversation with Dr. Michael Breus</span> <span class="episode-description">When was the last time you got a good night’s rest?
