Work-Life Balance Doesn’t Exist — Here’s What Actually Works for Working Moms

Let’s clear this up once and for all: work-life balance doesn’t exist — at least not the way we’ve been told it should.

In this episode of Boardroom to Bedtime, I’m breaking down why the traditional idea of balance leaves so many working moms feeling frustrated, guilty, and like they’re constantly failing. If you’ve ever felt like no matter what you do, something always feels off — this episode is for you.

We talk about what balance really means for ambitious women and working moms, why trying to evenly split your time is unrealistic, and how balance is actually about stability, priorities, and adaptability, not perfection.

I share real-life examples from my own experience as an executive mom, why balance looks different in different seasons, and how you can stop chasing an impossible standard and start creating something that actually works for your life.

This episode is for working moms and ambitious women who:

• Feel overwhelmed trying to “do it all”

• Struggle with guilt around work and family

• Feel like balance is constantly out of reach

• Want a more realistic, sustainable approach to life and career

• Are tired of feeling like they’re failing at both

We explore:

• Why work-life balance is a myth

• What balance actually looks like in real life

• How to prioritize what matters most in each season

• Why flexibility matters more than equality

• How to stop judging yourself by impossible standards

If you’ve ever thought, “Why can’t I figure this out?” or “Everyone else seems to manage this better than me,” this conversation will change how you think about balance.

🎧 Listen in for a refreshing, honest take on balance — and a reminder that you’re not doing it wrong. You just need a better definition.
