Episode 32: How Holistic Wellness Connects to Work Life Balance
Today I share a quick but necessary episode all about holistic wellness (big picture) and how it directly connects with work life balance. This is what it meant by saying wellness and what work life balance truly feels/looks like for us as working moms.
Holistic wellness involves caring for all parts of us in mind, body and soul. I encourage moms to think of the feelings that directly enter their lives when they do things to foster more care time. Then I want you to think of balance as something that is interconnected to your feelings when managing all your responsibilities. It is not splitting your time evenly amongst x,y,z tasks – but rather finding harmony through it all.

Big Takeaways
Work life balance is an internal practice vs. external (how we are used to thinking about it). So, think about it, when we take care of ourselves our mood and energy shifts. In return, the people around us get the best version of us. We then begin to feel more joy living and doing the things we do on the day to day. That is our balance!
