Episode 2 - 'The Buckets of Life'
Welcome to another episode of the Babies and Boardrooms Podcast, where we dive into the myth of doing it all and uncover the secrets to finding balance in our busy lives. In today's episode, Larissa and Tarrah engage in a candid conversation about their experiences and the challenges they face while juggling multiple responsibilities.
The conversation begins with a glimpse into Larissa's chaotic day, as she shares the struggles of preparing for her friend's visit while dealing with a missed appointment and the overwhelming task of maintaining her home. Tarrah, on the other hand, reveals his own concerns about the future, as her baby is measuring ahead of schedule.
But amidst the chaos, Larissa and Tarrah introduce the central theme of their discussion: the myth of doing it all. Both passionate about this topic, they acknowledge the burnout many women experience when trying to fulfill multiple roles. They emphasize the importance of recognizing this issue and taking the first step towards clarity.
Larissa introduces the concept of "buckets" as a means of prioritization, inspired by her own journey. She identifies her primary buckets as her son, relationships, and her career, sharing how these areas shape her focus and daily decisions. Tarrah, too, outlines her buckets, emphasizing the significance of family, health and wellness, relationships, and acknowledgement.
As the conversation continues, they discuss what drains them and strategies for overcoming these challenges. While Larissa embraces the DIY aspect of home renovation, finding joy in creating and maintaining her living space, Tarrah explores the possibility of outsourcing tasks that drain her energy and steal precious time.
Acknowledging that not everyone can afford to outsource, they explore alternative solutions such as delegating tasks to partners or seeking cost-effective options. They emphasize the importance of finding ways to simplify and eliminate draining activities in order to make room for what truly matters.
Join Larissa and Tarrah as they delve deeper into the concept of buckets, explore practical strategies for prioritization, and share real-life experiences and tips for navigating personal and professional lives. Discover how defining your priorities and eliminating draining tasks can help you find balance and fulfillment in your own journey.
