Description

The pillars of a happy life lead to increased satisfaction instead of having opposing priorities fight it out. By treating work and life as opposing forces we inevitably end up tipping the scales the wrong way. We can't always subscribe time evenly and things get out of whack. We find there is a much better way by examining the term itself 'Work-life balance". This episode will not only help you find better harmony with your different life projects but also help your awareness and mindsets to the choices you make.
