Balance isn’t a state you can achieve. It’s an action.

Have you ever felt like work-life balance is an impossible destination you can never quite reach? We used to think of balance as a static state or a perfect split, but we have realized that balance is actually an ongoing action. It is a constant shift of weight, expanding when you need to do more and contracting when you have gone too far.

In this episode, we sit down in Miami Beach to talk about why seeking a permanent state of balance only leads to frustration. We share our own recent experience with burning out from non-stop travel and work, and how we are learning to treat balance as an active, daily practice.
