Episode 34: The Work-Life Balance Myth with Christina Wallace
Show Notes

Why Listen? Here are just a few HEART TAPS from this episode with Christina Wallace:

1. Instead of saying, “I don’t fit in anywhere”, reframe that and say, “I just need to find out where I fit”. Because the truth is, not fitting in is not a judgment call on you, it’s just an observation.
2. Know “who you are”, separate from ‘what you do’, that way…if what you “do” gets taken away, you don’t lose who you are.
 3.Don’t postpone feeling, by doing.
4. Your purpose is so much greater than your job.
5. The worlds best run manufacturing lines operate at 85% capacity, and so should we.
 6.Ask yourself are you over promising your time?
 7. The word multitasking was created to describe a computers function. It was never meant to describe a human.
 8. Work/life balance is bullshit. It’s not a thing, it’s a myth.
9. Change is inevitable. The question is, will you pursue change or will you wait until it happens to you?
