But after speaking with my guest, Patricia De Fonte, I walked away from that conversation thinking that, wow, here\u2019s a role model for delegating, dialoguing, and anticipating what\u2019s coming up.  Patricia De Fonte is the brains and heart behind De Fonte Law PC, where "Estate Planning With Heart\u00ae" isn\u2019t just a tagline\u2014it\u2019s the ethos of the practice.  Listen in on our conversation and you\u2019ll hear how Patricia practices the principles of work and home equality in all of her affairs.  My favorite example \u2026 many years ago Patricia read an article on the work of the household, prompting a new narrative in her in own home. Rather than asking her sons and husband to \u201chelp\u201d her with the chores, she reframed and said that the \u201chouse needs help.\u201d To function properly, the house needs help to the laundry done, toilets scrubbed, etc. So \u2018help the house\u2019 is now my rally cry to GSD!! {get stuff\/sh*t done!}   At her law firm she institutes planned time off from clients, shortened work days, and scheduling boundaries. With an LL.M in Estate Planning, Probate, and Trust Administration and a JD from Golden Gate University, plus a BA in Communication from Santa Clara University, Patricia\u2019s academic credentials are just the beginning. Eight years ago, she set out to create a law firm where happiness is a priority\u2014for her, her team, and most importantly, her clients. And it\u2019s working! Patricia has not only contributed a chapter to a Wealth Counsel book, but she\u2019s also been named a Super Lawyer multiple times and even snagged the Better Business Bureau Torch Award for Ethics. When Patricia\u2019s involved, you know you\u2019re in good hands! patricia@defontelaw.com www.defontelaw.com 415-735-6959 ","author_name":"The Emotional Labor Podcast","author_url":"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/drreginaflark","html":"
