Are you tired of feeling like you have to wear a mask and be someone you're not just to fit in and be accepted? It's time to shed that facade, balance work and life, and embrace your authentic self, and in doing so, find true success as an inside job.
“How do I get ahead in this world and all that it offers? And yet, how do I have the tiem for the other things that are important in my life as well? That’s the importance of balance and that’s why it’s so critical that we try and get to that place of balance.” - Branch Isole
Balancing Work, Life, and Identity

In our life quests to get ahead in life and find satisfaction and fulfillment, we tend to find ourselves stretched thin, our relationships strained to the point of breaking, and feeling burned out overall.

Pursuing power, money, and fame seems like the natural thing to do for humans. It’s what we have been taught our entire lives through media, school, and friends and family, but it comes with responsibilities that can lead to a 24/7 lifestyle where people are always on call for work.

However, people are also spiritual beings, which some may put on the back burner until they need relief from problems or troubles. Branch Isole talks about the importance of balancing time between important things in life, such as relationships with family and children, work, and mental health. He suggests that people need to separate themselves from being plugged in all the time to find balance in their lives.

When it comes to identity, social media and the comparison game can become a trap that pulls us into feeling that we are not enough and that we need to present a mask of what is popular rather than what is authentically us.

In this episode, you will learn:

1. The impact and risk of being constantly plugged in 24/7
2. Finding work-life balance counter to a trend that says there’s no such thing
3. The impact of pursuing fake fame, and benefits of shedding the masks we where
