The reality is some days rock, some days are so-so, and some days really suck. For the days that really suck, there are questions to help make it suck less.

Most stress can be traced to communication - or a lack of it and the conversations we are NOT having or are too scared to have about what we value, and our boundaries to uphold those values. Just like balance, stress means different things to different people. Jae Ellard has spent the last decade working with people who feel stress in some way. Jae wants to shift their relationship with stress, but they just don't know where to start. You will experience stress, that is just life. So why not become more mindful and proactive about how you manage stress when it comes around?

How do you know when you are out of balance? Jae Ellard believes that balance has nothing to do with gender, geography, income, education, or job type - you don't even need a job to feel out of balance! Rather it's about the conversation we have (or don't have) about how these issues impact life. Drawing on thousands of conversations over a decade, Jae takes listeners through five simple truths about work-life balance that can liberate any person seeking to create easy joy and meaningful engagement between the interconnected roles and responsibilities that make up life.
