Work life balance is a myth

Work-life balance is one of the most popular ideas in modern life, but what if it was never achievable in the first place? In this episode of Flourishing School, I explore the origins of work-life balance, why so many women were sold the promise that they could “have it all” and how that promise often became an expectation to do it all. I share why I believe work-life harmony is a more realistic and compassionate approach to modern life, work, ambition, family and wellbeing. If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing at work-life balance, this conversation will help you understand why the problem is not you, it's the expectation itself. Topics covered include work-life balance, work-life harmony, women’s invisible labour, mental load, burnout, toxic productivity, over-functioning, ambition, wellbeing and sustainable success - all in under 11mins!
