If you want to create a life that feels balanced you must have an unshakable view of yourself - I call that confidence. 

You must believe that you are amazing and valuable and good at what you do regardless of how much you get done, how prepared you are, or what anyone else thinks. An unshakeable view of self is a pillar in a balanced life and in this episode I’ll be sharing what it takes to create it. 

This is part 3 in our series on the foundational principals of work-life balance, you ready? Let’s get to it. 

• Importance of feeling acknowledged and supported in a community. 
• Sharing my personal experience. 
• How to build and maintain self-confidence. 
• Identifying your core values. 
• Separating self-worth from achievements.
