What if work-life balance isn’t fixing burnout—but causing it? We’ve been taught to manage every part of our lives like a well-oiled machine, but what if that constant balancing act is what’s leaving us exhausted?

In this episode, we’re breaking down why burnout isn’t just something that happens to us—it’s baked into how we think about productivity, success, and even self-care. I’ll share why tracking every life domain might be making you more overwhelmed, how performing work and rest is keeping us stuck, and why the real key to balance isn’t adding more—it’s subtracting.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re working harder just to relax, this one’s for you. Let’s redefine balance in a way that actually works.

Check out Bold and Balanced, my free course on the art of saying no—because real balance starts with letting go.
