"I don't believe in balance. It does not exist. It's never existed for men who want to be parents, or women. Period."
"When I scroll through the photos on my phone, I'm like, 'Wow, I only see smiles.' But that felt miserable a lot of the time."
"Guess what happened when I didn't reply to that email? Nothing. Guess what happened on the weekend when I didn't check it? Nothing."
"We took a lot of the detail work out of my job and relied on a creative director to do that, which freed me up a lot."
Rebecca Minkoff believes work-life balance is unattainable for parents. She struggled with this concept while raising her first three children, often feeling overwhelmed. After the birth of her fourth child, her perspective changed, realizing that not responding to work emails had no significant consequences. She restructured her work by reducing direct reports and delegating tasks, allowing her to focus more on family. Minkoff now aims to finish work by 5 p.m. and limits travel to prioritize family time.
