Jacqueline Elliott, in a short YouTube #shorts clip, explains how she balances work and family by being intentionally present during limited time with her children (e.g., putting her phone down and focusing fully for 20 minutes). She rejects the cultural narrative that one must excel at only work or family, and describes choosing to be a ‘battlemate’ and partner (named Andy) who supports and grows with her spouse rather than deferring to traditional roles.

Chapters

A lot of people ask me, hey, Jacqueline, how do you do it? How do you take care of business? And how do you not feel guilty for working? Because I'm where my feet are. Because if my give my kids 20 minutes, I'm there for 20 minutes and I'm really there. I put my phone down. I'm not scrolling on social media while my kids are playing. I'm intentional with my time. But the world is telling you out there that you have to be good at one thing and not the other. You have to keep your family away. You have to go and kick ass at work and your family needs to be okay. I did not not want to be the queen at home and get whatever I wanted when Andy was working. I wanted to be the battlemate. I wanted to grow with him. I wanted to feel the grind. I wanted to support him. I wanted to hold him accountable. I wanted all of that.
