Living in balance is an art - part planning, part visioning, and part adapting in the moment. 

In this episode, I talk with fellow entrepreneur Adam Kaye to discuss how he creates balance in the midst of building a family-owned business focused on creating an art space from 200,000 square feet on almost 20 acres of land across 3 separate locations within the city's urban core. 

His path began when he inherited a warehouse complex at the age of 16 upon the passing of his mother. Today his community consists of almost 150 creative micro businesses, artists, galleries, shops, restaurants, & non-profits. Through his collaboration with the community and local government, a walkable, bike-able, live/work/play urban corridor is emerging where diversity, inclusion, creativity, and commerce converge.

And listen to hear our conversation about how he seeks, finds, and creates balance.

Deepak Chopra is credited with saying that, “People are doing the best that they can from their own level of consciousness.” It’s a concept that’s been used to help us develop patience and compassion for others. I love showing patience and compassion for others. It makes me feel like a really good person, and it helps me manage my emotions and energy.

But as driven, ambitious, hard-working people, it’s a lot harder to use it as a way to develop patience and compassion with ourselves. For some reason, that rule doesn’t apply to us, does it?? 

Sometimes saying, “I’m doing the best that I can” sounds like an excuse, like we’re just not trying hard enough. But while I am a firm believer that we can all do anything we set our minds to, we can’t do it all at the same time. There is a limit to what we can do sometimes. And in all cases, we are doing the best that we can considering the time, energy, and attention that we can give.

Listen for:

• How to reframe the self-talk that tells you that your best isn’t good enough.
• How to set boundaries that allow you to do your best work.
• How to show yourself the same compassion and patience that you show to others.

Hard work pays off… but what about when it doesn’t? For high-performing women who are used to being able to fix anything in their way, dealing with the unfairness of life is something that can really keep us from working to our best potential.

Listen for:

• How to develop the skill of experiencing without reacting to life’s drama.
• How to accept that we can’t control all of the outcomes in our lives, but we can increase the odds for making a difference.
• How to move beyond your emotional responses so the uncontrollable does not control us.

I’m Heather Fuselier, and my friends call me Healthy Heather, because I’m a board-certified health coach and author of Happy Healthy You: Breaking the Rules for a Well-Balanced Life. 

But I haven't always been Healthy Heather. I used to be overweight, undernourished, stressed out, and fed up. I felt like I did everything "right" and I worked so hard, but I could never get ahead. In fact, twice I found myself in the emergency room with symptoms of exhaustion. When I overheard a doctor tell my husband that he would admit me unless convinced that I would take better care of myself, I knew something had to change.

I’m a hard worker, a big dreamer, and what some might call an over-achiever. But until I learned how to live in balance, my life swung from one extreme to the other. I wanted the intense drive and ambition that I had inside of me to lead to big places, but instead I had developed an eating disorder and a life being quickly burned at both ends.

So I began to learn how to focus my energy. I started using the immense power inside of myself differently, and I gained purpose and vision in my life. I worked hard, and I worked smart. And, in 2011, I left my comfortable and safe career and finally stepped into who I was meant to be. Now I teach others how to do the same, through my books, this podcast, and relationships with my clients.
