Insider Edition - Life Right Now

This episode is a reminder you are not alone in your struggles! Today’s episode is raw, vulnerable and real. I’m sharing what has been going on in my life right now, since I’ve recently transitioned to a full-time job after years of running my own business.

In the past 6 weeks I’ve realized how hard it really is to balance all of the things - family, work, self-care. Today I’m diving in to the lessons I’ve learned in self-care and how I’m applying them to my own life.

The Struggles of Balancing Responsibilities
Transitioning to a full-time job while managing a family and personal commitments has posed significant challenges for me. I reflect on the difficulties of balancing work, family, and self-care, emphasizing the unrealistic pursuit of perfect balance. Instead of striving for equilibrium, look to find harmony in the different aspects of life. By identifying my own high-yield self-care practices, such as sleep, exercise, and alone time, I have been able to refill my cup in the most efficient way possible for myself. Look for what high yield self-care activities you can take the time to invest in.

Navigating Imposter Syndrome and Seeking Help
In my new role I have been dealing with major imposter syndrome. I discuss the self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy that have arisen, highlighting common gremlin voices that can question your abilities. Remember to give yourself grace and patience when navigating new challenges.

Lessons in Prioritization and Delegation
What is a priority vs what can wait? Discern between glass and plastic balls in life. By identifying priorities and delegating responsibilities, there is a huge value of asking for help and relinquishing the pressure to do it all. I have my own struggles with delegating tasks but have learned that growth and empowerment come from allowing others to take ownership and learn through experience.
