Balance isn’t a perfect day. Or even a perfect week. Sometimes it’s not even a perfect year.
In this episode, I get real about what balance actually looks like in my life — as a mom, a lawyer, an executive, and a person who still wants to do big things. I talk about leaving work at 5:00 for daycare pickup, why that doesn’t make me less committed, and why we should stop apologizing for our non-negotiables — whether it’s daycare or Pilates.
We dig into why balance feels so hard (spoiler: it’s not just you — the whole system is designed to make us feel like we’re failing) and even get into how first-thing-in-the-morning meetings hit differently for caregivers running half a marathon before 8:30 a.m.
And finally, I share six words — Family. Work. Health. Creativity. Joy. Faith. — that I’m using to guide how I measure balance over a season, a year, and even a career.
If you’ve ever gone to bed feeling like you “dropped every ball today,” this episode is your invitation to zoom out and start measuring your life by the whole picture — not the single day.
