Episode notes

Ariana was a divorced mother of twoten aged daughters. She had fallen prey to the delusion that in order to succeed as an enterplaner and as a mother, i just had to sacrifice myself. Founders wear this self sacrifice as a badge of honor. But under the surface, there's often a feeling that the constant self sacrifice is unsustainable.
