EP 6: Pretty Normal Too
from Pretty Serious · host Lindsey Ardmore + Haley von Haven
Episode 6 is a fun, honest conversation about the reality of being a high-achieving woman who’s balancing business, family, and personal joy. The hosts get candid about why “work-life balance” can feel unrealistic, what burnout actually looks like, and how they build little luxuries into their lives to stay energized and grounded. In this episode, we cover: Why “work-life balance” may be a myth The idea of work-life “blend” and seasonality Burnout, grace, and knowing when to pause Full-send personalities and managing capacity Unhinged but worthwhile business investments Little luxuries that make life easier and better Key moments Being a “full send” girl and why that matters in business and life How both hosts think about burnout and rest Practical luxuries that save time and reduce stress The role of paid tools, mentorship, therapy, and support systems Why looking good, feeling good, and doing good are connected Notable takeaways Balance is not always 50/50; it often ebbs and flows by season. Burnout can show up whether life is busy or slow. Paying for convenience can be a smart investment when it protects your energy. A strong support system can change how you lead, work, and show up. Small rituals and comforts can create major mental relief. Memorable themes Full-send energy Grace over guilt Strategic spending Self-care as productivity Building a life that supports your ambition Quote-worthy lines “Work-life balance is bullshit.” “You can’t fill every glass at one time.” “When you look good, you feel good, you do good.” “Pay for the thing that makes your life easier.”
