"Pushing is the lie and we need to distance ourselves from said lie. And then remembering nature and the cycles and how to tap back into that within ourselves because we have seriously lost the plot and I think it can be so helpful to get back to it."- CS
Episode 67: In this episode of The Return Podcast, Caitlan Siegenthaler challenges the idea that balance is the ultimate goal. Instead, she dives into why embracing your natural rhythms — both within yourself and in tune with nature — is the real key to a fulfilling, less stressful life. Caitlan introduces the concept of cycle syncing, showing how aligning your tasks with your energy levels can help you stay productive, creative, and burnout-free. If you're tired of feeling like you're failing at balance, this episode is for you.
Key Takeaways:
💫 Balance is often an unrealistic target — especially for busy entrepreneurs.
💫Pushing through when you're drained leads to burnout.
💫 Nature’s cycles can guide your personal and professional flow.
💫 Cycle syncing helps you harness your natural energy for better productivity.
💫 Rest and reflection are essential — and not lazy.
💫 Learning your own energy patterns can improve your decision-making.
💫 Flow and alignment are far more powerful than forcing balance.
