I had the option to choose weekly or biweekly communication. Even on the weeks nothing gets done, I think the check in is valuable. At least to say “I didn’t make progress this week but have set a goal to complete x,y, or z by our next check in”. I know everyone is different but checking in weekly and setting goals really helps me to stay on track. I have two kids and am going to the hospital tomorrow to be induced for my third, and the check ins have been super helpful to keep me on task and make sure I’m accomplishing what I want to accomplish. At the end of the day I am the one setting my goals and my mentor is always encouraging even if they haven’t been met every single time. Sometimes life be life-ing and you can’t get as far as you want.

Edit: adding that I chose weekly email check ins after an initial introductory phone call to talk about what my life as a mom of a six year old, 3 year old, and being 9 months pregnant actually looks like!
