Realistic Work-Life Balancing

Amidst 2021's frenetic pace, curating a life that satisfies your professional, financial, and familial obligations and also leaves space for fun may seem unattainable. What's work-life balance, and is achieving such balance even possible? Today I speak with author, chef, and farm CEO Shannon Hayes. Despite her many professional endeavors, Shannon makes sure to find time for coffee dates with her husband, afternoon naps, and martini dance parties in the kitchen. Shannon believes that even though we're busy we can *make* space in our schedules to prioritize our own happiness. Indeed, Shannon's on the show to argue that finding—and maintaining!—a work-life balance starts by first dreaming about what you want your life to look like and then putting your finances on autopilot.   Here's a preview: [3:30] True wealth versus salaries: Why everyone needs a Quality of Life Statement [11:00] How to incorporate 4 unconventional income streams to achieve a work-life balance [21:30] Using chef-specific wisdom in your daily life [26:30] The Yes-No-Yes formula for setting—and maintaining—essential boundaries This show is listener-supported. Thank you for supporting!
