E344 | Tips for "Balancing" Work and Family Life

It’s the holy grail of mental health and wellness for many people. Almost all of us, at one point or another, have chased the elusive 'work-life balance,' hoping to find the perfect harmony between our careers and personal lives.

But is 'balance' really the right word? Perhaps it’s a misnomer that oversimplifies the complexity of juggling work and family.

Today’s topic arose from a conversation between Brett and several of our facilitators about the push and pull that occurs between career and family. It’s a concept we all struggle with in some capacity, and in this episode, we’ll share insights from that discussion along with practical strategies for managing the demands of work and family.

Tune in as we get real on a this common struggle, as we explore:

• The misnomer of  “balance” and how to define it for yourself
• How guilt influences decisions in your professional life
• Realigning your goals to reflect what truly matters
• How to recognize if the obstacle in your was is YOU - and what to do about it
