Why Not Balance?
Our journey into this topic began with a revelation from Zach Pogrob (@zachpogrob). He suggests we ditch the pursuit of balance and embrace contrast. Poetry and jiu-jitsu, mansions and marathons - living on the edge. Are we prisoners of the idea that we can have it all? The pressure is real, especially for women. So, do we want it all, or is there beauty in embracing extremes?

Something Better than Balance?
Is the pendulum swinging from balance to extreme contrast? Can we find a middle ground that still delivers the same results? Others may lean towards the extremes, but Alexandra thinks there a sweet spot in oscillating between boundaries closer to the middle.
Incorporating Contrast
How does Alexandra plan to integrate her love for extremes without burning out? Saying yes to opportunities without drowning in overwhelm. And what about Christine? Well, she's got a plan, too.
