Ep 19 – Barbara Holmes: Managing a healthy work/life balance

May 17, 2020

Learn to master your busy life

Everyone has heard about this elusive thing called a work/life balance.
And we all strive to achieve it.

Especially when we have a partner, caring responsibilities, household duties, and a business.

And somehow, throughout all of that, we’re meant to find time for ourselves as well. Is that even possible?!

Today, I’m chatting with Barbara Holmes from Managing Work/Life Balance to tell you it IS possible. But your idea of ‘balance’ could look very different to someone else’s.

And that’s okay.

If you’re finding yourself overwhelmed and constantly pulled this way and that, never knowing what to prioritise and when, this episode is for you.

Let’s jump in and get started!
