In this episode, host Catherine Zack begins to answer the question you might very well be wondering: 

How does a corporate litigator quit her big law career to ... teach meditation? 

In this episode, Catherine shares Part 1 of that answer. 

Here, you'll learn more about: 

- the power of story as a teaching and connection tool (and the caveats about how and where it doesn't work well); 
- creating a "successful-on-paper" life built by checking all the right boxes vs. composing a life that feels like your own, determined by the compass of your own inner voice instead; 
- the number question to ask yourself on any day in your life to see whether you're writing your own story (or just following someone else's script). 

Stay tuned to the end for a mini meditation practice that will help you create just enough space to begin to listen for your own inner voice of intuition and knowing as you write your own story today.

I’m tired. You’re tired. 

We’re all a little collectively exhausted.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• A working definition of burnout and how to assess your own burnout levels at any given moment
• My 3 best mindset shifts to set the stage for recovery from overwhelm and exhaustion
• How to build up a reserve of resiliency and energy to begin to bring yourself back from the edge of burnout.

Join-corporate-lawyer-turned-meditation-teacher and executive mindfulness coach Catherine Zack in a brand new podcast, Beyond Balance. 

Designed as a conversation with fellow Type-A, high-achieving, prone-to-stress perfectionists who are ready to trade in the hustle & grind for something much more sustainable and inspiring, this podcast explore what lies:

• beyond the myth of balance,
• beyond the badge of busyness, 
• beyond the trap of perfectionism and checking all the right boxes,
• beyond the stress of creating a life that looks successful based on someone else's "shoulds" and that only looks good on paper, 

Beyond all the things that lead us to burnout,  leave us feeling exhausted and overwhelmed, and, quite frankly, like we're never going to be good enough.  

What lies Beyond Balance?

Wholeness.

Where all the parts of our lives – even the parts of us that are still in process, still becoming, still learning, still growing, still feel in tension –  can exist together. As we compose meaningful lives of good work and even better connection.

Through meditation, mindfulness-based stress reduction, guided relaxation, story, poetry, a  hefty dose of the Socratic Method (Catherine's still a lawyer at heart), and honest conversation, you'll learn mindset shifts and practices that will teach you to embody this life beyond balance too.
