At the start of this week, I was having a hard time. I’m leaving Google next week and self doubt crept in. My husband Joe handled the Kari stress-ball so well. He listened (without trying to solve my issues), and just added, “Kari, I know you will figure this out.” He struck the perfect balance between empowering and supporting me.
