## Resource

I’m guessing you started your business because you, too, wanted to get to actually BE there and experience your life, right? For your kids, for your relationships, and for yourself. And you’ve probably figured out that you don’t magically get a sense of balance, freedom, and spaciousness just because you have your own business (in fact, I often see it feel the other way around at first!) BUT it IS possible. And it’s my mission to help you get there.   That’s why today I want to talk to you about balance. I’m breaking down what balance does and doesn’t mean to me, why it’s now a core piece of my work, and my fave practical and somatic tips to help you start improving your sense of balance NOW (even if you came into this episode thinking the idea of balance is a myth!)   I’m diving into:   The overarching desire I hear from other mom entrepreneneurs How to support your sense of balance when your business need more of you, and when your family needs more of you Calling BS on some of the false ideas of balance in our society My thoughts on the term “work/life balance” THIS biggest place I’ve seen clients get tripped up on around boundaries with work (and a simple fix) The struggle of working from home amidst friends and family who have traditional jobs Practical and somatic steps you can start taking TODAY to start increasing your own sense of balance and resource yourself And more!   ______ Want support implementing this?
