Description

Do you feel like there just isn't enough time to get things done? Or do you feel guilty for not spending enough time on the things that matter most—whether it’s your health, your relationships, or your personal goals. You’re not alone.


Today I'm talking about how to make intentional trade-offs that align with your values so your life feels more in balance. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clear plan to prioritize what matters most to you.


Some of the things I talk about are:



  • The 7 key areas of your life that need attention

  • How to decide where to focus your energy and attention

  • Why trade-offs aren’t a bad thing

  • The surprising research on happiness and balance—and why it’s not about doing everything equally

  • How to align your actions with your values

  • Real-life strategies that will help you create the right balance for you
