Hey guys, welcome to Tommy Talk.

And today's topic is, does work-life balance really exist?

Man, oh man.

This is a very, very tough topic.

I, as an interviewer, I hate asking people, how do you balance it all?

How do you balance work in your life?

Because I feel like that question sets people up for an answer that they feel obligated

to say, which is something inspiring or motivating or, you know, about self-care. And I don't know

if that's fully realistic. I think work-life balance is a really, really difficult thing to

achieve. I think we all strive for it. I think we all, we need it. We need it for our health. We need it for

our mental health. It's super important to have boundaries in work and in your life. But I think it's

something that's not does it exist or doesn't exist. I think it's something that's always a work

in progress. Because I think in life there are's always a work in progress.

Because I think in life there are ebbs and flows and you'll be busier sometimes than not.

And during those times, you probably don't have a lot of balance.

But then maybe you have a lull and things are quieter and you do have more of a balance.

So I think it's a shift we're constantly facing.

But I think it's important that we're always striving for having some semblance of a work-life balance because if we don't, we start deteriorating mentally. I firmly believe our mental health struggles. You know, I have started this year off with a bang. I mean, my January,

the holiday break from Christmas to the New Year was quiet and I loved it. I loved it.

I got to really take care of myself. I was traveling with friends. I had the best time.
