Summary
How do you find balance? What kind of balance should you be looking for? It’s time to start admitting that when we decide to emphasize one part of our lives, something else has to give. It’s important to understand that balance means that everything can’t be at 100% all of the time.
In today’s episode, we discuss creating balance and not trying to convince yourself you feel a certain way. Listen in to hear Rachael and Kelsea talk about tradeoffs that happen when you decide to de-emphasize something, and how difficulties can provide you with new perspectives.
Topics Discussed in Today’s Episode:
- Asking “how are you, really”
- How sharing feelings and emotions can wear off on other people
- Trying not to convince yourself that you feel a certain way
- The tradeoff between giving your career less and what you’ll get from that career
- Choosing to put parenthood first
- Serena’s choice to step back from her tennis career
- The limitations of people even when they have lots of money
- Paying attention to the season that you’re in
- How difficulties can provide perspective
- Money, time, and energy trades
