About Sophie Baron
What is The Big Res(e)t?
It’s a newsletter of essays, recommendations, recipes, prompts and tips. It covers motherhood, wellness and mental health, career progression and avoiding (or recovering from) burnout.
Since closing my business in April 2023, I’ve been adjusting to a life beyond productivity, where my ‘worth’ has almost nothing to do with my output. I’ve worked to reconcile the feeling that I’ve been ‘reduced’ to stay-at-home-motherhood, when my whole focus had previously been on career and achievement.
So you could say this is a way for me to bring it all together - the learnings I’ve had, the work I’ve done, and the things that have helped me to find joy and meaning during this new phase of transition.
