Anna Zornsch (37) runs a hair salon on Kieler Niemannsweg in Kiel. Her partner Joey Zornsch (36) is currently establishing a business in Stein. The couple has two children, aged nearly one and six. Both are self-employed, making work-life balance difficult. They state, 'the system is not designed for such a model.' Nevertheless, they manage the challenges between starting businesses and raising toddlers. The family resides in Kiel, where such dual burdens are common for self-employed parents. How they make it work remains a key question in their story.
