There’s an overwhelming sentiment filling my inbox at the moment: complete emotional and mental fatigue.

“When is this going to end???” we’re all asking.

As I listen to women share their frustrations—trying to juggle nurturing family, running businesses, and taking care of their own health—I keep repeating the same line: “That’s because BALANCE IS BS.”

Most of us think about balance in a really unrealistic way. We think about it in terms of how to make everything equal.

If you live a life, run a business, and have a family, then you know everything is not equal. Things won’t always go our way. Priorities shift, and some things will demand more of our attention at different times.

So instead of thinking about life in terms of how you can find this so-called “balance,” I encourage you to instead think about it in terms of “blending.”

blending: the action of mixing or combining things together. To form a harmonious combination.

We know that life won’t be perfect every day. When I think about blending, I think about being intentional with the time I have to give. If I’m with the kids, I’m on the floor playing LEGO—physically and mentally present. The same goes for time with my husband or when I’m working on my business. I’m not trying to be in two places at once. I’m focused and present, making all my time “quality time.”

It’s impossible to evenly divide time between family, household duties, running your business, and spending time with your partner every single day. But if you spread a good mix of these across your week—and stay present in the moment—you’ll likely feel your stress levels drop… and that “mum guilt” too.

What does a “harmonious combination” of activities and responsibilities look like for your life?

This whole thought process got me thinking—how great would it feel to hit “RESET” on 2022? I figured many of you might feel the same, so… let’s DO IT.

On Tuesday, February 8 at 7pm AEDT, I’m jumping online to host a free workshop where we’ll talk through tangible actions to get this year back on track.

I can’t make the C-word go away, but I can share tips to help you stop feeling like the world is burning! 😉

We’re rebooting 2022. Come and join me to Get Your Groove Back.
