What Remote Work Is Really Doing to Our Kids—and to Us (with Jeff Smith)

Send us a text

In today’s episode, host ‘Tine is joined by guest Jeff Smith for a raw and honest conversation about how remote work is reshaping the way we parent, live, and lead. They explore the emotional complexity of being always-on at home while juggling professional ambition—and what that really means for our kids, our peace of mind, and our partnerships. It's not about choosing between family and career—it's about questioning how remote life is changing both, sometimes in ways we don’t even notice. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin or wondering if you’re showing up fully in both spaces, this episode will hit home.
