Our cohost, Meher Govadia asks our guest, Manvi Malhotra, "How do you decide what's important, what's not, what are the things you need to get accomplished, what can probably get pushed to the bottom of the list?"

Jeanne asked her guest, Kaeli O'Connell, "Being part of a team is important, but what else is important to you?"

I mean, when you're so focused on your child and family, it's very difficult ...
