Work-life balance – and what it really means

--:--
In our busy lives, finding a balance between work and personal time can feel almost impossible. In this episode, Elana chats with life coach Lori Milner about how we can bring more peace into our daily routines, prevent burnout and find more work-life balance.

Lori suggests thinking less about 'balance' and more about 'prioritising' what matters. This shift can help us manage stress before it builds up. Lori says stress is often linked to our mindset, and so by adjusting our outlook and the words we use, we can transform stressful moments.

Lori also highlights the role of coaching in the workplace and the importance of creating a 'safe space' for vulnerability and growth.
