About this listen

Balance in Motion: Navigating the Flow of Work, Life and Growth redefines the traditional notion of balance. Hosted by Brian Manning, a top mortgage professional and a personal development coach, this podcast challenges the outdated idea that balance means equal attention to every part of life at all times. Instead, Brian believes in the natural ebb and flow, like a pendulum swinging-sometimes work demands the focus to hit major goals, and other times personal relationships take center stage. Brian explores how true balance is about harmonizing these shifts.Brian Manning Economics
