250. From Overwhelm to Intentional Living: The Work-Life Balance Method Every Working Mom Needs
Hey mamas,
Today we’re flipping the script on one of the most overused (and misunderstood) phrases out there: work-life balance.
For years, we’ve been told to picture balance like a scale… work on one side, life on the other, perfectly even. But here’s the problem: that image sets us up for guilt, burnout, and disappointment. Because your job should never weigh the same as your entire life.
In this episode, I share a fresh perspective I use with my coaching clients: balancing stones.
Instead of a scale, picture those beautiful stacks of rocks you see at the beach or on a hike. Each stone is a different size and shape… some massive, some tiny. And yet, when carefully placed, they create something stable and beautiful. That’s what balance actually looks like. Not equal weight, but intentional placement.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✨ Why the traditional idea of work-life balance doesn’t work (and what to do instead)
✨ How to identify your personal “stones”… the roles and values that matter most in your life
✨ Which stones belong at the foundation of your stack (hint: it’s not work or house chores)
✨ Why health and self-care aren’t selfish extras but essential stabilizers
✨ The small, everyday stones that bring the biggest joy and stability
✨ Three practical ways to keep your “stack” from wobbling or crashing down
Episode Highlights:
My Challenge for You:
Grab a notebook and write down your stones. Which ones are the biggest? Which is your foundation? Where do you need to restack?
Because balance isn’t about perfection… it’s about intention. And when you choose your stones with care, you can build a life that’s stable, beautiful, and uniquely yours.
👉 Come share your stones inside our free Work-Life Balance for Working Moms Insider Facebook community. It’s where we laugh, connect, and cheer each other on as we balance this wild and wonderful life together.
