What if the balance you're seeking is not about a perfectly poised lifestyle, but more about harmonizing with life's ebbs and flows?  This is what we, Jana and Jason, unpack in our thought-provoking discussion that dares to redefine our conventional understanding of balance.  We dive into how shifting the blame onto others for our life's chaos isn't productive, and how crucial it is to cultivate awareness and clarity about the problems we've created in our own lives.  We also stress the need to shift our focus from the problem to the solution, ultimately paving a pathway for progress.

Now, imagine intentionally throwing your life off balance to spur growth. Controversial?  Maybe.  But we believe it's an essential part of pushing beyond your comfort zone.  We end our conversation introducing a new concept - 'life harmony'.  It's about embracing life's rhythms, creating your own beat and dancing with it.  In this episode, we won't just be talking about balance, we will be challenging you to redefine it, to shift your mindset and to take ownership of your life.  It's time to stop blaming, start acting, and create the harmonious life you deserve. Tune in for an episode full of insights and aha moments as you move towards Living Lucky.
