The concept of "balance," particularly in the context of women trying to juggle various responsibilities and roles, can be a challenging and often unattainable ideal.  Join us for a candid conversation as we unravel the truth behind this elusive ideal, its impact on our daily lives, and how to find your rhythm between family and career without being swamped.  

In this episode, we discuss the challenges, misconceptions, and the importance of prioritizing self-care in a fast-paced, demanding world.  Societal expectations and personal beliefs about what it means to achieve balance can lead to burnout and feelings of inadequacy.  We also talk about the importance of shifting your perspective, asking for help when needed, and recognizing that it's okay to prioritize yourself in order to avoid burnout.
