About this listen
From CEO Meetings to Vampire Costumes: The Professional Parent's Identity Crisis
Ever wonder why you can confidently present to your company's board but lose your mind negotiating bedtime with a 6-year-old? In this episode of The Detached Podcast, we dive into the tension between professional mastery and domestic messiness. You’ll hear the story of one high-performing parent whose attempt to run their household like a dysfunctional project in need of a restructuring—complete with chore charts, escalation procedures, and color-coded scheduled “fun time”—backfired spectacularly.
This is a painfully relatable story about the pitfalls of trying to optimize human connection. At its core, this conversation uncovers a truth most successful professionals avoid—connection can’t be optimized, and love can’t be managed like a deliverable.
Ultimately, this is a story about presence over performance, and why letting go at home may actually make you better at work.
