Episode #184: A New Approach to "Balance"

“Balance.” Do you find the word calming, aspirational… or triggering?

No matter how you feel about it, balance is a big conversation in the business world right now! We’re all supposed to be aiming for it, but it’s become clear that the concept of balance is pretty unrealistic — something that mompreneurs know all too well!

I’ll come right out and say it: maintaining perfect balance just isn’t possible, especially when you’re juggling motherhood and entrepreneurship. But in this episode of the Business of Thinking Big, I’m going to offer a new perspective for you to consider.

It’s time to let go of the concept of balance as a perfect ratio of work and life… and start thinking about trying to spend more of your time in a state of flow.

Don’t worry, I have a bag full of tips and tricks to help you get there!

In this episode, I share some of the strategies that I use to infuse my own busy mompreneur life with more flow and peace, and become a better — and more joyful — business owner and mother. From scheduling hacks to stress reduction techniques, this episode is full of powerful tools that will help you run your business with more joy and calm!

In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌ ‌

• How to harness your negative feelings (including mom guilt!) and use them as a catalyst to create positive change in your life
• How to use my C.A.L.M. approach to create more time for joy and cut down on the parts of your business (and life) that bring you stress
• When to say NO to “opportunities” that aren’t in alignment with what you really need or want
