This episode explores the concept of work-life balance from a faith-based perspective, challenging the traditional notion of achieving perfect equilibrium. When it comes to work-life balance, it’s advisable to eliminate the false belief that you have to create a balance in your life. Think about what it means when you hear work-life balance. 

Is it about equal time, a perfect schedule, or something deeper? What does balance truly mean? Identify what it is that looks like and think about it. If you have to assign a percentage to it, do that so you can honestly see that all things will not be created equal in your life, right? Reflecting on Ecclesiastes 3:1 emphasizes that there is a time for everything and that it's essential to align with the priorities God has for our lives, and it refrains from the idea of balance.

Tune in and learn how to regularly align with God's priorities that lead to transformative shifts and help us navigate changes without fear, seeing them as steps toward our next level rather than failures. 

Don't miss out on this insightful episode with real-life experiences that show how managing time wisely and safeguarding one's schedule, it's possible to avoid burnout and maintain balance in both personal and professional life.

In this episode, we cover…

 (00:05) - Redefining Work-Life Balance With Faith

(08:24) - Maximizing Productivity Through Purposeful Planning

(16:13) - Creating Work-Life Harmony Through Surrender

(18:23) - Learning to Delegate some things

(19:39) - Set Boundaries; Focus on Purpose and Not Perfection

(20:36) - Pause, Recharge and  Align Yourself with God's Priorities

(21:32) - Don’t Be Afraid to Pivot
