38. Work Life balance is a myth (here’s what to strive for instead)

Is This All There Is?

Most of us have tried and failed to achieve work-life balance at the expense of our health and interpersonal relationships. Work-life balance is an oppressive ideal that has women doing ‘the second shift’: working full time, just to come home and do it all again in the domestic sphere. In this episode I encourage you to shift from ‘wanting it all’ to identifying what genuinely matters to you, and then pursuing that. The bad news (or rather, the reality check) is that you definitely can’t have it all. But the good news is that you can identify what makes life worth living and then pursue it systematically. I break this process down into 3 steps: the first is learning how to identify what’s important to you, the second is understanding how to allocate your energy and the third is to begin positively shifting your mindset without needing your physical circumstances to change. The tools used to achieve these 3 steps are hacking confirmation bias (see episode 36), energy management (see episode 28), the Bucket Exercise and the Life Wheel Exercise. This mindset shift is no small feat, so if you could do with some support on this journey, get in touch via the link below.
