If trying to achieve “work-life balance” is leaving you guilty, fragmented, and overwhelmed, this episode introduces you to a better way: integration.
I just returned from two weeks in Italy, and let me tell you — it reminded me how much we miss when we’re constantly in motion. I wasn’t just on vacation; I was practicing what I now believe in most: integration.
There was a time I would have spent half that trip checking email, thinking about work, trying to stay on top of everything. This time, I didn’t. I gave myself permission to be fully present — to savor, to reflect, to disconnect from the doing and reconnect with the being.
In this episode, we’ll explore why chasing work-life balance actually keeps high-achieving women stuck in burnout, and how designing your life around integration can bring back flow, joy, and alignment.
Listen now to learn how to stop dividing your time and energy—and start living fully, wherever you are.
