Many working hours in periods but the flexibility means a lot for the overall balance and well being.

Female friends mean a lot to me and I have a couple of groups that I meet regularly and always prioritize. I have my course mates from Medical School, another group of colleges, a group whom I am skiing with and the mothers of the boys in my son’s football team. In addition, I am a member couple of networks. At work, I have regular lunch dates with people I have collaborated with from time to time or just with energizing women.
