Ms. Herd shared with Meghan that it requires immense strength to maintain your composure amidst challenges. She recalled her own ordeal during the media tumult at Tinder, expressing how it had left her cooped up at home for a good six weeks.
Reflecting on how they manage stress these days, Meghan mentioned her recent focus: the intricate details involved in As Ever’s packaging. “Not too long ago, I found myself obsessing over the packaging boxes,” she confessed. “My mind was fixated on it, going through the unboxing process in my imagination.”
To break free from similar cycles of overthinking, Ms. Herd has developed a reflective habit. She asks herself whether the matter at hand will hold significance five years down the line. “It’s vital to pause and evaluate: ‘Just how crucial is this moment?'” she advised. “If this isn’t something that’s going to shape your business, life, or family in half a decade, then you’ll be fine.”
Their conversation also delved into how having children transformed their outlook. Ms. Herd noted, “Motherhood reorders your priorities like nothing else. The well-being of our kids becomes synonymous with our own, prompting us to prioritize in uncharted ways.”
