How might your perception of work-life balance be limiting your ability to create authentic connections and sustained productivity in your professional environment?

Discover how to transform burnout into breakthrough on this episode of the Work Positive Podcast with Dr. Joey Faucette. Michelle Niemeyer, former attorney turned transformational coach, shares her powerful framework called "The Art of Bending Time" that helped her rediscover joy in her work and create extra hours in her week without sacrificing career success.

Listen as Dr. Joey and Michelle explore:

☀️ How a health crisis led to discovering the mindset shifts that transformed her relationship with work

☀️ Why work-life balance is a myth that creates disconnected teams and lobotomized workforces

☀️ The business detox process that creates clarity on what truly matters in your bigger picture

☀️ How to become a "Time Suck Ninja" and eliminate internal and external productivity drains

☀️ Why getting to know coworkers as human beings is essential for creating engaged teams

Michelle transforms professionals by helping them understand that the same job can feel completely different when you change how you perceive and exist within it. After 33 years as a successful attorney, she discovered that sustainable productivity comes from alignment between personal clarity and professional purpose.

🔑 Key Insight: "Work-life balance doesn't work—it's a myth we've been fed. When you have a lobotomized workforce where people keep work apart from their personal life, you don't develop real relationships. You're never gonna have a good team if the team doesn't have relationships that are respectful and understanding where they get each other."

💡 Your DOT (Do One Thing): Talk to the people you work with about more than just the task at hand. Pick one person from your work and get to know them as a human being. Talk to them about something that matters to you outside of work, and ask them about theirs. That's how you build real relationships and create teams that want to succeed together.
