Carina is joined by her sister and Etsy guru SuiKim Friedmann on today’s episode of the Make and Design Podcast. Carina and Kim get real about the struggles of parenting while running a business during the busy summer months while kids are out of school. Kim took the advice from her last visit to the podcast and freed up some additional time by hiring someone to help her with her workflow. Carina runs through her typical daily routine during the summer. Find out how the sisters break up their day to make sure that they get work done for their businesses while still spending quality time with the kiddos. Carina gives another recommendation for the book “When” by Daniel H. Pink.
