#346. The Myth of Work-Life Balance & the Importance of Presence & Intentionality with Henna Pryor


Listen Later

The pursuit of "work-life balance" is a fool's errand. This unrealistic standard sets us up for constant disappointment and guilt. Instead, high-achieving entrepreneur and award-winning speaker Henna Pryor advocates for "work-life harmony."

In this candid conversation, Henna shares vulnerable and relatable stories about the daily challenge of recalibrating priorities as a busy mom, wife, and entrepreneur.

Discover:

  • Why "work-life balance" should be banished from our vocabulary
  • A more empowering metaphor - the tightrope walker's "balancing pole"
  • How technology and phones numb us to avoid social awkwardness
  • Why you'll be remembered for who you were, not just achievements
  • The importance of presence and intentionality with family
  • Recalibrating work and home harmony every day

This honest dialogue will help you release unrealistic expectations and create a more easeful flow between your personal and professional worlds. Turn up the volume on what matters most.
