Summary

Does balance really exist - or is it an unrealistic goal? In this episode of Habits & Hustle, we chat about the myth of work-life balance. Oftentimes, we set the expectation for ourselves that we should be able to have it all; it’s just a question of balance. This causes us to get frustrated and disappointed with our performance when we fail - thus why I believe we need to get rid of this false narrative. What we discuss: 00:35: Does balance exist? 02:19: Morning routines: are they realistic? 04:37: What’s the reality of balance? 06:28: Are you prioritize resting? 08:07: Is there really balance in business? 10:43: How the myth of balance impacts your mental health My links: Website: https://www.jennifercohen.com/ Instagram: @therealjencohen Learn more about your ad choices.
