Summary

This month we’re exploring the ever-elusive concept of work-life balance. Most humans come from a belief system that is very linear. It tells us that everything we do has to feed into one part of our lives, which leaves us feeling like whatever we're doing has to be connected, has to serve a purpose. It can't just be for fun. It can't just be for pleasure. It can't just be for play. And so, then our sense of purpose gets very intertwined with our work and what we do for a living and our self-worth. In this episode, our host Hollis asks, how do we break out of that linearity? How can we, instead, access a well-rounded, holistic, and balanced experience of life?
