In this episode, I’m talking about work-life balance, and what to do when it suddenly shifts. I share practical, gentle strategies I use to stay steady when life or work demands more of my time and energy.

This isn’t about achieving a perfect balance (because I’m sure we can all agree that’s almost impossible). It’s about small, manageable ways to respond to tipping points. So if things are feeling unpredictable or overwhelming, this episode is a reminder that steadiness is possible — with a few intentional, practical tools.

Key takeaways from this episode

• How noticing shifts early can help you respond thoughtfully rather than react in panic

• Simple prioritisation techniques to manage your tasks and energy

• Why flexibility and boundaries are essential when the day doesn’t go as planned

• The importance of communication, asking for help, and having backup plans

• Small ways to care for yourself and reflect regularly, so you can stay grounded
