How I juggle it all: an insight into my work and Mum life
EPISODE 73
Notes
As we wrap up the financial year and dive into a new chapter, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the art of balancing the demands of running a business while also being a parent. Today I give you an insight into my work and mum life, as well as share the challenges I’ve faced and strategies I’ve adopted to help juggle it all.
To me, life as a working parent is a delicate dance that requires grace, patience and a sense of humour. And as an entrepreneur, I find it to be a constant balancing act between my professional ambitions and personal commitments. So is there really a way to do it simultaneously, and do it well?
In this episode, I take you through my own personal journey that has helped me navigate the ups and downs of business and family. I talk about the powerful influence of my hardworking parents that sparked an ambition that continues to drive me, and how developing a solid worth ethic has given me an advantage in achieving my goals.
While I’m always striving to grow my business and expand my impact in the world, I know that prioritising personal goals is important. It's not only an outlet to manage stress, but helps me stay true to who I am. I share some of my strategies for managing time effectively so that I can keep my commitments to both parenthood and to my career.
Life can certainly throw us curveballs, and any business owner knows that creating the life they truly want isn’t easy. However, I believe in making intentional decisions that create order in the things we can control.
It’s my belief that balancing all we want to achieve is not a destination, but a journey. Rethinking the concept of success and learning to embrace the messy middle allows me to focus on what really matters.
If you’re looking to improve how you navigate the challenges of juggling your personal life and career, I hope the lessons I’ve shared with you today help you on your own journey to success as a thriving parent and business owner.
