82. Embracing Delegation with Yoky Matsuoka
11/08/22 • 58 min
Our current reality is impossible, my friends. Among many things, moms spend as much as 97 hours a week on household and parenting tasks. It's especially hard during the holiday season, and a quarter of moms say they have zero time for themselves. The village we used to be able to rely on is gone. And my guest today has set out to rebuild it!
She has been described as a mechanical engineer, neuroscientist, bioengineer, robotics expert and computer scientist all in one. Yoky Matsuoka is the founder and CEO of Yohana, a wellness company designed to help families prioritize well-being. She created the Yohana membership, launching nationwide this month, which is a concierge service for families that uses AI and real humans to tackle the family to-do list.
Yoky has inspired a STEM Barbie, earned the MacArthur Genius award, and been included in the Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls book series!
IN THIS EPISODE, SHE SHARES...
- The way her life coach pushed through her resistance to putting her oxygen mask on first
- The breaking point that led her to start Yohana
- All the ways Yohana can take things off your to-do list this holiday season
DON'T MISS -
- How to create a ME List and truly prioritize it
- The perspective that will enable you to get past the hurdle of needing to do everything all by yourself
- Her powerful vision on using the next generation as our WHY for embracing delegation NOW
