"Balance" is overrated, do this instead.

Oh, the ever elusive, work/life balance…

I used to think it existed. 32 years on earth and a whole lot of studying successful people have taught me that it’s not a very self-loving expectation to place on oneself.

And here’s why:

Unfortunately, there will probably never be a time where you are perfectly rested, worked just the right amount of hours at work or on your business, also had time for your friends and family, while simultaneously hitting the gym every day, eating perfectly, keeping the house pristine, and making sure all your plants get enough water.

And that doesn’t even include your meditation practice, pilates classes, and any other hobbies you might like to spend time doing.

What I’ve come to learn over the years is that chasing the right amount of “balance” is a losing game. There is actually a better way that allows for more grace, more flow.

And that’s exactly what we’re chatting about in this week’s episode of High Vibin’ It.

If striking a balance feels impossible (cough cough—it is), or like there's simply not enough time to get it all right, this episode is for you.

Listen now to get down to earth, real-talk advice about…

  • Why burnout often comes from trying to do everything at once

  • How perfectionism keeps you disconnected from yourself

  • Practical ways to audit where your energy is going

  • Why saying no creates space for what truly matters

Consider this your permission to stop chasing balance and try a new way instead. Hope it helps!

xo, Kelsey
