You’ve been sold a lie and it’s called “work-life balance.” In this episode, I’m breaking down why chasing balance is wrecking your sleep, wrecking your nervous system and keeping you stuck in a cycle of guilt and burnout.

If you’re constantly trying to give 100% to everything your job, your family, your partner, your inbox and the laundry but still feel like you’re failing, this one’s for you. I’ll share why balance is a BS performance metric, what your body actually needs instead, and how to start living in work-life harmony that doesn’t require sacrificing your health or sanity.

We’re talking weekly grooves, energy check-ins, and realistic expectations, no toxic positivity, no hustle hacks, just honest tools for building a life that works with you, not against you.
