Are you feeling overwhelmed by the constant pressure to 'have it all'? Laura and Mary take a hard look at the myth of perfect work-life balance and emphasize the power of realistic goal setting, creating firm boundaries, and cultivating a balanced perspective.
We reference the poignant story of Ursula Burns, the first black female CEO of a Fortune 500 Company, who speaks openly about her regrets of missing key family moments due to her career demands. Her narrative serves as a healthy reminder that our jobs, though impactful, should not solely define us.
In an era of digital overload, we advocate for a digital detox and for setting goals that align with your personal needs and desires. We provide you with practical strategies on how to chunk down big goals into smaller, more achievable steps that keep you motivated and on track.
Additionally, we emphasize the importance of flexibility in professional settings and the liberating power of saying 'no'. This episode is a treasure trove of insights and practical advice for professionals looking to navigate the complexities of the modern world.
Join us, as we redefine what work-life balance means for you.
