Have you ever felt the strain of juggling roles as a worker and a caregiver? Ever wondered how your work-life balance impacts your overall health and well-being? 

This episode of 'The Hearth' is an eye-opener on work-family harmony and the stressors that could be affecting your overall health. We dig deep into the common workplace stressors and how they relate to cardiovascular disease risk, sleep quality, depressive symptoms, and more. 

In the second half of our conversation, we pull back the curtain on some startling figures about wage trends and how they've changed since 1979. 

We delve into the all-too-common conflicts between work and family duties and debunk some media stereotypes about working mothers. We round off the episode by exploring strategies for enhancing job quality and striking that elusive work-family balance. 

From fostering healthier psychological work environments to setting clear performance expectations and making a case for affordable childcare – we unpack it all.

Tune in and let's rethink work-family harmony together!

If something you heard today brought a smile to your face or a spark to your heart, and you’d like to connect with me, here are a few ways you can do that.

One is my newsletter, it’s where I put most of my time and energy when I’m not working with clients or on this podcast. Sorry social media! It’s a mix of real life stories, tips and tricks and of course updates on what’s happening with the podcast. Whenever something is going on with me or in my business, it always comes out there first.

Another resource that I have for you is my Guide to Doing Work Differently. The guide takes you through four inquiries into how you can build a more sustainable and equitable work environment for yourself and your team. It's a great place to start.

Last, if you’ve got a burning question, a comment, or a situation you’d like my eyes on, you can email me at candice@fortressandflourish.com.
