This is episode 7 of everyday wellness. Let's get real. What balance in our life really looks like.

I'm Dr Kelly Donahue, clinical health psychologist, here with my co-host Cynthia Thurlow, functional nutritionist and nurse practitioner.

Let's get started. Welcome to everyday wellness.

Every day wellness.

Wellness is the result of the decisions that you make every day. It's your mindset and the thoughts you believe. Wellness

is the food you put in your body and the relationship you have with yourself and others. Wellness is your work and meaning.

Join us on everyday wellness as we explore ways that you can choose wellness today. Hello, we are here to chat today about balancing our busy lives. It's something that I think everyone

that is listening, especially working moms, stay-at-home moms, any moms can really understand and appreciate.

You know, I'm laughing because there were so many technical goofy things that happened in my home

this morning. I know Kelly's sitting in a

closet in her house trying to get better acoustics. So you know I think the

the concern I think for every woman is that you know this elusive balance which I know

we've talked about before that balance is kind of an endigma I mean it's something we all work on

but you're never going to get to

perfect balance. It's like you might have one day that feels balanced and the next

day there'll be something unanticipated that you have to kind of scramble to

address and so Kelly I'd love for you to kind of talk about you

had child care issues this morning and you know microphone issues I mean I'm sure

for both of us I definitely think today did not start off the way we had

anticipated it too but we're we're making the best of it right?

Absolutely and you know I really think it's about the approach that you take when you

come into a situation that hasn't occurred exactly as you had hoped it would.
