In this episode, Laura is joined by Gabrielle Hayes, Best-Selling author, International Facilitator and Host of the Highly Inquisitive Podcast. 

In this episode, we dive into how to build an intentional life through the concept of balance and how it is often unattainable for moms and entrepreneurs. Gabs helps us challenge the idea of balance and suggest that it is more about finding harmony and integration between different areas of life. She also shares the importance of giving yourself permission to rest and engage in activities that bring you joy, even if they may seem unproductive. Gabrielle shares her personal journey of finding balance and offers advice for those who feel out of alignment in their lives.
