Ep 162: The Myth of Balance
from Your Favorite You · host Melissa Parsons
You're at your kiddo's soccer game, but you're scrolling through work messages. You're in a meeting, but you're mentally making your grocery list. You’re on vacation, but you’re thinking about what you’re missing at home.Does this sound familiar? You’re constantly thinking about what’s next, trying to do everything and be everywhere at once. Not only is that an impossible standard, but believing you should meet it leaves you feeling like you’re failing everywhere instead of being fully present anywhere.In this episode, I talk about why work-life balance is a myth, why it's making us miserable, and what to aim for instead. Finding an alternative to balance starts with being honest about where you are and giving yourself permission to be there. When you do, you begin to live more in alignment with your favorite you—in whatever season of life she’s in.Click HERE to get the full show notes.
