I recently turned 26, and, to celebrate, I took a weekend trip to Sequoia National Park with my mom. We both work a lot—she as a doctor in rural Vermont, and I as the CEO of a startup—so it’d been a few years since we’d spent any time together oneonone, and we were looking forward to the trip. Plus, as she only halfjoked, if she was visiting she could make sure I took the weekend off.
