Ep. 9- Harmonizing Work and Family: Beyond the Myth of Balance

In episode 9 of "2 CPAs & The Mic," hosts Jeff Frable and Sara Mays welcome fellow partner Kyna Leyva to discuss the reality of navigating a thriving family life and robust career. Kyna shares candid insights about how "work-life balance" is a misleading concept and how to think about "harmonizing" your whole life instead, the importance of setting realistic expectations and giving grace to yourself, how to be fully present whether at work or with family and the value of finding mentors who are a few steps ahead in your journey. Kyna emphasizes that no one "does it all" - sharing honest stories about 4:30am wake-ups, messy houses, and the importance of communication with both family and colleagues. This episode offers wisdom for parents at any stage as well as professionals seeking to integrate their personal and work lives more effectively.
