The Myth Of Work/Life Balance
01/09/20 • 22 min
What is it that we are really seeking? Who came up with the idea of work/life balance anyway?
You and I both know that showing up to a job and feeling like we have to give our left arm is not very fun. It causes stress, hurts relationships, and damages our health. But how do we find this Work/Life balance that everyone is seeking?
Today, I explore the real disconnect that drives us to scream, “I need more work/life balance.”
What if you could wake up every day, happy with your work and your life?
In today’s podcast, I am going to share the critical building blocks to a flourishing life. I am going to share some great resources to help you identify your values and how these contribute to a thriving and flourishing career and life.
So if you’re ready to find balance in your life, today’s show is a must-listen. Work/life balance shouldn’t be a myth but a reality in your life.
Check Out These Highlights:
(03:44) Today's episode, it's all about busting the myth around work life balance.
(07:09) "do what you love and you will never have to work a day in your life."
(08:13) Sharing details from Martin Seligman’s PERMA model. PERMA model is a model of well-being. And says that when you're able to use your values, then you're able to flourish.
(11:27) So, how do you find work life balance? How do you know what that looks like for you? Well, for everyone, I believe that work life balance is very different.

Own Your Story
I love a good story. Actually, everyone likes a good story. We are wired for story.
So the question is...
Are you owning your story?
There is so much to story:
It is how we communicate.
It defines us
It helps us get ahead.
Today I am deep diving into story. I will be discussing why story is sooooo important to your career — and sharing how to tell your story, even if you are currently uncomfortable with your story or don’t know how to put it together. I look at the tough parts of our story, the misses, the firings, the gaps, and share concrete strategies to fill in your story truthfully and optimistically.
So if you’re ready to leverage your story to work hard for you and help you get ahead, then today’s show is a must-listen. Storytelling should become part of your career growth process. I don’t consider story a nice-to-have in my business. I see it as a must.
