The Five Truth About Work-Life Balance + Giveaway

~ I received no compensation and opinions are 100% my own or my family. ~






Synopsis:  Work-life balance has nothing to do with work. Really. It also doesn't matter what words you use to describe it. The fact is, most people share a similar desire to create easy joy and meaningful engagement across the roles, relationships and responsibilities that make up life.


Our current habits and perceptions often get us stuck and prevent us from creating the life we desire. Get unstuck, learn the truths about work-life balance.




One (or more) Sentence Summary:  Work-life balance is one of my favorite topics.  I have been trying to balance both for 20+ and love to read books on the topic.  More recently, I have felt out of balance everywhere.  I started a new job in May as a CFO, moved my family from New York to Ohio in August, my husband started a new job in September, the kids stated new schools and sports teams in September, and my son got hurt in hockey in December and had surgery in January.  It is nice to know that one of the truths written about in the book is about being in and out of balance.  Guess what? Its okay! 

I truly enjoyed The Five Truths About Work-Life Balance.  Check out this quick video.



Fast read/slow read:  So fast, you can read on your lunch break!

  2. -VSA is a reliable "truth verifier" vs. perfect 'lie-detector" per se, as such responses' are sometimes caused by other emotions such as confusion, unwillingness, etc.
