The Myth of Work-Life Balance (#MumLife Edition)
Manage episode 489576216 series 3578458
Is the pursuit of “balance” actually burning you out?
In this raw and refreshingly honest episode, Chantelle and Michelle open up about the invisible load of motherhood, running a business, and the myth of having it all together. From hospital visits to snack box stress, they’re lifting the curtain on what life really looks like behind the scenes - and why redefining success might just save your sanity.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why chasing perfect balance is doing more harm than good - and what to do instead
- How to make values-based decisions that protect your time, energy, and mental health
- Practical ways to run your studio and still feel present at home (without burning out)
If you're in a season of stretching yourself thin, this episode is your permission slip to slow down, reset your expectations, and lead with intention.
