When I was a kid, I was taught success equaled money.

I spent so many years building this amazing career.

And I was the most miserable I'd ever been.

Why? Because we have this fantasy of what that perfection looks like.

And then when we get there, we always want more and more and more, right?

And so it's really about self-reflection of what does

success look like to me? You're on the road, you're an entrepreneur, you do speaking circuits.

How do you find the balance in life? Well, let me just tell you, there is no balance. Okay.

I struggle like everyone else, to be honest. I've really reframed it from work-life balance or

work-life integration. We all need to change our expectations of what we can get done in a day. I think we all have the never-ending to-do list. How can we integrate our professional and our personal lives? And it's going to ebb and flow based on where you are in your career, but the phases of your kids too. So it is important to not really try to establish that balance

because it doesn't really exist. If I say no to this, it's an opportunity for someone else.

Someone else that really wants to do this. And so that took the guilt off of me and putting those

boundaries around. What do I need to do within the day that are important to me and my family?

And that allows me to really do more and less time.

I could give you many of examples of lies that we hear.

But the greatest gift we can give ourselves is permission to live by our own truths.

And the only way that we're going to be able to do that is by reframing the lies that we've

been told for decades.

It's about rewriting the rules, tearing down the lies, refusing to choose ambition versus

authenticity, dreams versus your relationships.

It's about redefining who you want to be and how you want to live your life.

Because if we don't start reframing the lies that we've been told, we're living someone else's life.
