Why We Rate Our Stress Levels Out of 10 (And You Should Too)

Running a business while raising four kids isn't Instagram-worthy - it's messy, stressful, and requires systems most people never talk about.

In this raw conversation, we want to share the reality behind building Done By Nine while parenting 4 children aged 5-13.

From using a stress scale to communicate with each other, to why device-free mealtimes are non-negotiable, we break down what actually work for us.

We've discovered how parenting skills transfer directly to business challenges, why "good enough" beats perfectionism every time, and the unexpected ways our kids are learning work ethic by watching us navigate building a company during economic uncertainty.

This behind-the-scenes look offers an honest perspective you won't find in typical business content.

No sugar-coating, no perfect morning routines - just real talk about making it work when everything feels like controlled chaos.
