We hear the phrase work-life balance all the time—but what if the problem isn't balance at all?

In this episode of Doing It Messy, Ruth questions why we've been taught to place work at the centre of our lives, with everything else squeezed into the margins. Through personal stories and gentle reflection, she explores the power of intentional choices, the trade-offs we all make, and how creating a life you love starts with asking one simple question:
