Episode 5: Work/Life Balance and the challenge to make it all work


Listen Later

Balance is an elusive concept in today’s world where, when we’re not working, we’re picking our children up from school, making meals, perhaps starting a side-hustle, all the while trying to find some peace and quiet to read a book or go for a romantic dinner with our partner! All four of us know from experience how exhausting all of this can be, and we’re here to tell you that it’s okay to not have everything running smoothly or be giving 100% of yourself to every task at hand all the time. Balance looks different for everyone, and there is no such thing as perfection, so you have to learn to give yourself grace. Take a deep breath, situate yourself in the present moment, and join the Amigas as we share some of the most valuable life lessons we have learned along our journeys as working moms!
