392 - Always Rushing, Never Rested? 3 Truths About Work-Life Balance


Listen Later

If you’ve ever caught yourself chasing “work-life balance” with the perfect planner, color-coded schedule, or yet another productivity hack—only to still feel behind and burned out—you’re not alone.

Because balance isn’t about squeezing more into your calendar. 

It’s about shifting the operating system you’re running on.

In this episode of Alive & Well, I’m sharing three truths about work-life balance that almost no one talks about—truths that will help you stop chasing balance and start building it in a way your body, brain, and beliefs can actually sustain.

We’ll explore:
 🔹 Why nervous system regulation—not organization—is the true foundation of balance
 🔹 The difference between managing your time and leading your time (and why it matters)
 🔹 How old belief patterns keep sabotaging your capacity, even when your calendar looks “perfect”

Because the truth is: balance isn’t something you stumble into. It’s something you intentionally build—day by day, habit by habit, belief by belief.

🎧 Listen now to learn how to regulate your system, reclaim your time, and rewrite the stories that are keeping you stuck.
