Balance as a Practice, Not a Destination | Ep. 14

Description

In this shorty episode, I’m unpacking the idea that many of us hold of balance as as a destination that one day we’ll arrive at. We often imagine it as equal time for research, teaching, family, and self-care every week—but real life doesn’t work that way.

Balance is a practice that requires constant adjustment and recalibration for different seasons of life. I’ll share how this plays out in academic life and invite you to see balance not as the arrival point, but as presence, intention, and knowing what can slide this week so you can focus on what matters most.
