In this episode of the Working Mumma podcast, I challenge the widely accepted idea and myth of work-life balance, explaining why it often sets working mums up for stress, guilt, and burnout.

Balance isn’t a destination; it’s not something you achieve and then check off your list. Life is dynamic and constantly changing, especially as a working mum.

I share strategies including boundaries and work-life integration as more sustainable approaches to navigating the demands of work and family life. Tune in to discover practical strategies for prioritizing what matters most and living with greater intention.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

* Why the concept of work-life balance is unrealistic and unhelpful
* The emotional toll of chasing balance and how it contributes to burnout
* The power of boundaries and how to set them effectively
* What work-life integration looks like and how it differs from balance
* Practical strategies to navigate the demands of work and family without guilt
