The P.T. Entrepreneur Podcast EP287 | What The Matta Family Is Thankful For
We're hitting pause on the usual interviews to bring some good news and positivity right from the Matta household during this crazy quarantine time. I brought the whole crew on Ashley, Jack, and Maggie to talk about what we've actually enjoyed about this forced slowdown. We get into the challenges (homeschooling, anyone?), but focus on the unexpected good stuff: tons more family time outside, bike rides, wrestling on the trampoline, and Ashley sharing the surprising relief of a less frantic schedule. It's a candid look at finding the silver linings and focusing on connection when the world feels upside down. Plus, Jack gives a shoutout to his previous episode appearance! This one's family friendly, so grab your kids and have a listen.
π Key Takeaways:
- Even forced pauses can bring unexpected gifts, like more quality family time.
- Actively look for the positive moments and simple joys, like outdoor play or bike rides, especially during stressful times.
- A slower pace, free from constant scheduling demands (sports, pickups), can be a significant stress reliever.
- Kids value connection: more time with family and pets often tops their list.
- Challenges (like homeschooling) are real, but focusing on connection and finding small wins helps navigate them.
- Remember to "hang in there" this applies to both parenting and business right now.
π§ Pro Tip: Use unexpected downtime, even when it's forced, to reconnect with your core priorities and the people who matter most. That quality time isn't just nice; it refuels you for when things inevitably speed up again. Don't just wait for it to pass; find the good moments now.
