What are the signature techniques used by Hilary Erickson for balancing family life and career transitions?

Hi, I’m Hilary Erickson from The Pregnancy Nurse.

A few “signature” things I lean on over and over when I’m balancing family life with career transitions are:

• Sunday sit-downs: a weekly, calm-time check‑in with my husband and family to look at the calendar, divide tasks, and talk about what’s not working before it explodes mid‑week.
• Clear division of labor: breaking the “mental load” into visible tasks, then delegating instead of silently doing it all myself.
• Teaching “notice and do”: training kids (and partners!) to notice what needs doing and act, so I’m not the permanent delegator.
• Simplifying routines: stripping home systems (meals, cleaning, kid logistics) down to the simplest version during big transitions, then adding back as life settles.

Is there a specific transition you’re in right now (new baby, job change, etc.) so I can tailor this more to you?
