work-life balance became like obvious because like right now, like you're in my home.

There is something about that.

It's just like, okay, you can see, you know, my family on the wall.

Like you're like, you're in my home office.

And so if one of my children bust through the door right now, it'd be like, oh, like, and obviously that's happened for a lot of us.

I was on Zoom the other day and some lady had two cats in the background, full on boxing.

I was like, ma'am, do you see what's happening in the background?

Yeah.

That would never happen five years ago.

But it's like, now I know something about her that I didn't know before.

And that's actually kind of interesting.

And so it's like, I would have never thought, oh, what this woman had to deal with this morning was her cats are fighting.

Except for some people, it's their kids are fighting.

For some people, it's we're actually not even on speaking terms anymore.

And those things became very, very real.

And so from those sessions, I started to realize people were really struggling with burnout.

People were really struggling with like just kind of in a lull, really stuck, coasting.

People were kind of having a life that they tolerate, but they didn't really feel like they had permission to like really thrive in their life.

And so I started, the way I do executive coaching is I don't like to tell you what to do.

I like to ask you questions.
