124. The Problem With Work-Life Balance and What It’s Teaching Our Kids - with Jen Rafferty of Take Notes podcast

Work-life balance is something everyone is familiar with. It's something we never feel like we can achieve consistently. Well maybe part of the problem is that we use the word "balance" which really isn't serving us well. Stay tuned for a much better word that provides powerful insight into what we are actually striving for.

A couple key takeaways from today's conversation:

-The theme of hustle and burnout is what we are teaching our kids is normal adulthood... that is what we are showing an as example for them to replicate.

-Feeling guilty is a choice you make

-Use self awareness to make decisions about your life/schedule and then own it
