You’ve heard it. You’ve probably said it:

* “I’m just trying to find work-life balance.”

But what if I told you that balance is a myth?

In this episode, I break down why chasing a perfect 50/50 split between work and home is setting you up to fail—and what to focus on instead. I’ll share personal stories from the early days of my practice, the lesson I learned from being mentally on the beach while still in the adjusting bay, and what one hour of real presence with my kids taught me about leadership at home.

We’ll also talk tactics—like the small habit I started doing in my car before walking in the house that changed the tone of my entire evening.

If you’ve ever felt stretched thin, distracted, or like you’re giving everyone a version of you but not all of you—this episode is for you.
