Summary

If you’ve ever felt like you’re spinning too many plates, constantly catching up, and running on empty, this Moment is for you. In this short clip, Rachael Twumasi-Corson, entrepreneur, writer, and mum of four, shares two brilliant tools that helped her move from burnout to balance. She talks about doing an honest self-audit, what’s really taking up your time and energy and her simple 5-4-3-2-1 method that brings calm and focus back into busy days. We chose this moment because it’s such a powerful reminder that harmony isn’t about doing it all, it’s about doing what truly matters. Rachael’s approach is so compassionate and practical, and I think it’s going to give you a real sense of relief and possibility. In this Moment, you’ll learn: A five-minute daily ritual to help you feel calmer and more in control How to reset your priorities with honesty and kindness Why scheduling joy and rest is as important as work The mindset shift that helps you become the conductor of your own life This Moment is a gentle invitation to pause, breathe, and remind yourself: you don’t need to juggle everything perfectly, you just need to lead your life with intention.

0:20.7	Swamami, Cawson, an incredible entrepreneur and mum of four.
0:24.8	If you know me, you will know I do not believe in work-life balance. It is a myth and one area will
