Is it true there are industries where balance is just impossible? To answer this question, I interviewed, Olivia Vizachero, founder of The Less Stressed Lawyer. She and I dive straight into talking about the challenges of creating balance in an industry that rewards overworking. We speak about what it takes to create balance, specific decisions that need to be made along the way, mindsets that open up the possibility of balance and the nitty gritty of creating boundaries.
There is one emotion that almost feels like magic when creating work-life balance: satisfaction. When you feel satisfied, you don’t feel the need to do more. You feel like what you have is enough, what you’ve done is enough and how you showed up is enough. In today’s podcast I am sharing 3 ways you can cultivate this magical feeling of being satisfied and explain why it is not the natural place for your brain to go.
In today’s podcast I am walking you through what happens inside the Ambitious and Balanced Working Moms Collective. Over the past several weeks, I’ve taught you the 5 steps to work-life balance and from that series I heard from a number of working moms, asking questions about the The Collective. Today I want to share what happens after you join and all the inside details of the program.
If you cannot create more hours in a day, in order to achieve balance, the only two things you can do are: learn how to achieve more in less time and change the way you think about time. Because in a balanced life, the time you have feels like “enough” and you feel at peace with the ways you are spending it. In today’s podcast I am going to challenge the way you think about time and give you 3 necessary shifts in your mindset on time. This is step 5 of a 5-part series on creating sustainable work life balance.
Boundaries are the decisions you make to either protect (or not protect) the things that are most important to you, things like time with your family, date nights, rest and working-out. Every day you make decisions to either honor those priorities and keep them safe, or not. In today’s podcast, I help you understand exactly what it takes to prioritize the things that matter most and I explain the 3 most common breaks in your boundary. This is step 4 of a 5-part series on creating sustainable work life balance.
Balance starts with your thoughts. If you want to FEEL balanced, then you need to start thinking thoughts that make you feel that way. In today’s episode I am covering the 3rd step of the 5 Step to Work Life Balance process: controlling your mind. There are three things you need to know when learning how to interrupt negative thoughts and cultivate an arsenal of positive ones. This is part 3 of a 5 part series.
In today’s episode I am sharing the 2nd step to creating a balanced life: clarity. There are 3 things you need to know: where you are headed in your career, what your day-to-day priorities are and exactly what a regret-free looks like to you. Clarity is the roadmap to a balanced life and it will help you start making confident decisions around how to spend your time and energy with ease. This is step two of a 5 step process.
Balance is a feeling. It is not found in a perfect set of circumstances, it is found inside your body. This is an important distinction to make because the process to creating balance isn’t found in changing your job or working less hours, it’s found in YOU. You are in control of creating a balanced life and it is only possible when you are feeling confident in yourself and your work. This is part 1 of a 5 part series covering the proven 5 step process I teach inside, The Ambitious and Balanced Working Mom Collective.
