work–life balance

Foster high-priority relationships As I get older and progress further in my career, I, like many others, will become constrained by time and resources.

In order to maintain the delicate work-life balance that I'm striving for, I will take time to foster relationships that matter to build a support system.

When the time comes and you need a helping hand, your support network will be strong enough to get you through the tough times.

And four, remember that who you are, not what you do, makes you special.

You need a better way to manage the time you already have.

Before you say yes to one more thing, I want you to listen to this entire episode because at the end, I'm going to give you three time management routines to have in place so you can be a present mom this holiday season so you can have that work-life balance.

Mama, are you trying to homeschool, run a business, and keep your home from falling apart but you always feel behind? If you're ready to trade that overwhelm for simple routines and boundaries, you are in the right place.

This is the Working Homeschool Mom Podcast.

My kids were miserable because school was lasting so long.

But that's not the purpose of homeschooling, and that's not the purpose of running a business.

It's to have that work-life balance so you can homeschool your kids when it's the homeschool time, run your business when it's your work block.

And maybe you're struggling with that, and now that November's here, you're like, you know what? I'm not even sure how I'm going to be able to run my business.

Is there anything in the role that you undertake that has that lifestyle impact?

I'll be honest with you, with the job that I have now, I actually feel like I do have pretty good work-life balance.

We do kind of work more office hours.

We do have a half day on Fridays as well, which is really great.

So not necessarily in that form.

And that's also as well something I considered in my career.

I always wanted to have work-life balance in my job.

So speechology can give that.

But, you know, sometimes it's like drinking from the fire hose.

but that's okay it's fun with that being said how do you maintain a good work-life balance with you know it's funny because i work with my husband so we've worked together in several businesses so i think that it's the true test of a good marriage is if you can work together day to day yeah but i think together because she's on the technical side i'm on the business side We trust each other.

Like, okay, I trust you're going to do what you do best and I'm going to do what I do best.

And it helps us say, okay, let's put business aside and let's go play now and have that work-life balance.

And we understand what's happening in each other's lives because we're together in the business.

So I think there's a really important support system that happens there.

Yeah.

I do also think that there's maybe a piece of like, we know how good Danes are at work-life balance and sort of like not mishing the two together.

I wouldn't take it personally because maybe they are just like, hey, even if I do have room for more slots of friendship, I'd rather not be somebody from work.

So if you're ready to ditch stress and burnout for a more balanced and fulfilling life, then you are in the right place.

You have nothing to lose, everything to gain, and the opportunity to take those risks and work that hard in your 20s will never come around again.

Don't waste those years on work-life balance, screwing around, or being afraid of burnout.

Don't listen to anyone who talks about burnout to a 20-something year old.

If you're going to burn out in your 20s, you are never going to make it to the top anyways, so you might as well give her and figure out how far you can go.
