In this week's episode of the School of Midlife podcast, we’re talking about the myth of work-life balance and why it simply doesn't exist.
Laurie shares her own experiences of trying to find the right equilibrium between work demands and caring for her family. She discusses why the messaging that we got as Gen Xers - that we could “have it all” - has actually become an unhealthy challenge for many women today.
She explores how the concept of “work-life balance” implies that if we just worked harder or got more organized, we could achieve that balance we’re all seeking. But the problem is not with us as individuals – it’s with a system and expectations that are flawed.
This episode is a must-listen for any woman who is being pulled in competing directions, and fears that she's falling short at work or at home, or both.
