Ep 31 Overcoming Workaholism: 3 tips from a relationship coach (with special guest Elle Ebizadeh)

I recently had the pleasure of chatting with relationship coach Elle Ebizadeh about a topic near and dear to my heart: overcoming workaholism.  Elle shared so many gems about really finding the correct work life balance for each of us while nurturing our connections. A few key takeaways:  - Take time to check in with your body's needs throughout the day. Set reminders to breathe, stretch, or step away from work.   - When tensions rise with your partner, pause and ask yourself if you're in the right headspace for that conversation. It's okay to take space and return when emotions have settled.  - Reflect on patterns from childhood that may drive your need for control or to feel needed. Understanding where these tendencies come from helps us shift them.  In this episode, you will be able to:•Discover the importance of work-life balance for entrepreneurs. •Explore self-discovery and self-care within relationships. •Uncover the impact of societal conditioning on entrepreneurial success. •Address childhood patterns to cultivate healthier relationships. •Foster self-love and connect with your inner self.I'd love to hear your biggest struggles with work-life balance and any strategies that have helped you.
