Work-life balance is often held up as the ideal, but chasing a perfect 50/50 split can do more harm than good. In reality, striving for "balance" often leaves high-achieving women feeling burned out and stuck. Life isn't a static scale - it's a dynamic, ever-shifting dance of priorities, and expecting everything to stay in equilibrium is unrealistic (and a recipe for self-doubt and exhaustion). This session slips the script: instead of aiming for an impossible equilibrium, we'll focus on how to master the imbalance in a healthy, mindful way.
What truly holds many of us back is a lack of intelligence, time, or resources - it's a lack of awareness and alignment. We often have everything we need to succeed, yet research show it's confidence (not competence) that frequently wavers for women. Similarly, it's not more hours in the day we need, but clearer direction on how to use them. The key is awareness: by clearly noticing what's important to you, what inspires or drains you, what holds you back, what you consume and create, and where your time and energy go, you can make intentional choices that reduce overwhelm.
Through insightful discussion and exercises, you'll discover how each pillar helps you align you daily decisions with your core values and deeper purpose. The result? Less stress, more intentionality, and a sustainable approach to developing your legacy on your terms.
