Is "balance" really achievable, or is it just another unrealistic ideal we’ve been sold? In this episode, I take a step back from nutrition deep dives to share a more personal conversation about my journey through burnout, redefining success, and learning to prioritize what truly matters.

I’ll break down the myths surrounding work-life balance, why women especially feel pressured to “do it all,” and how our priorities should shift with life’s seasons—not hold us hostage to outdated expectations. I'm examining my personal experience setting boundaries within a thriving coaching business to pursue further education in clinical nutrition. I'll also share insights on making tough transitions, setting boundaries, and embracing a version of balance that actually serves you.
