I have the opportunity to have a powerful discussion about the myth of work-life balance with Nausheen Saumtally. Nausheen discusses redefining this concept instead to life harmony, rather than thinking about the conflict of work versus life. We consider how this concept of work-life balance began as more women entered the workforce and juggled multiple roles, and particularly Millennial generation women struggle with multiple roles. Nausheen shares that her intergenerational relationships have started with intentional communication, and self-awareness of who she is and what she brings to relationships. She stresses the importance of self-awareness to move past generalizations about age, particularly by employers, and who people perceive you are.
