Ever been SO frustrated that you can't achieve "work-life balance"? Yep, same. That's why Kira Jones Matousek, the founder of Cacti Wellness, coined the term "work-life success." We chat through that & more in today's episode, plus our experiences living in LA & NYC.

Kira's wellness journey began in 2015 when she was a marketing undergrad at DePaul University with a full academic schedule, an internship, and two part-time jobs. Working that hard was causing extreme stress and anxiety, so she turned to fitness and meditation as a way to release that pent up energy and calm her mind. In 2019, she set out to combine her business background and passion for wellness & productivity into a blog, Cacti Wellness. Flash forward to 2020, she launched 'Cacti Wellness Collective', an OTT platform for ambitious women who want to take care of business while taking care of themselves.
