00:00Is there anything just, you know, I'm also a newer parent, and what are you doing to
00:07stay sane?
00:08Just because I, you know, I'm trying a few things, some of them are working, some of
00:11them aren't.
00:13Time to yourself can be fleeting and non-existent sometimes.
00:16Okay, yeah.
00:17I read a book about motherhood, actually, because I have identical boys, so I have two,
00:23right?
00:24And someone recommended this book, and in it, it said no matter what happens, you give
00:28yourself the 20-minute rule.
00:29So if all hell's breaking loose, and it feels like the world's collapsing all around you,
00:33usually within 20 minutes, it'll be fine.
00:36So 20 minutes.
00:3720 minutes.
00:38That's what I got.
00:39That's a good reminder.
