Balance Is Broken: What to Drop, What to Protect, and Why 'Always On' Is Burning You Out
Episode Summary:
We’ve been sold a lie—balance doesn’t come from doing more, better. It comes from knowing what to drop. In this episode of Transform and Lead, I’m calling time on the pressure for high-performing women to be always available, always capable, and always holding it all together.
You’ll learn how to reframe your approach to balance using the glass balls vs rubber balls analogy—and why it’s not as simple as work = rubber and family = glass. I’ll share real stories, practical shifts, and a redefinition of success that centres your values, energy and leadership power.
If you’re feeling stretched, stuck, or like the price of ambition is your wellbeing—this one’s for you.
