#23 Work-Life Magic

 December 29th, 2020

In this episode, I've pulled together some insights from guests on 'work-life balance' - what is work-life balance, how do you know you have it, does it exist and more. 

I introduce the episode with an overview of 'body-budgeting' - a phrase coined by neuroscientist and psychologist Lisa Feldman Barrett.  She is the author of 'How Emotions Are Made: The Secret Life of The Brain'.  


This episode includes:

  • John Hayns (#14) on attuning to your body and work-life magic
  • Kim Bowden (#17) on a work-life balance 'aha' moment
  • Gary Cox (#4 & #5) on the need for a time machine and more sleep
  • Andrew Codd (#8) on is there any such thing as work-life balance
  • Helen Joy (#6) on boundaries
  • Jerry Harris (#9) on appropriate selfishness (my new favourite phrase!)
  • Michelle Heer (#3) on her daughter's approach to her work-life balance
  • Dave Greenaway (#2) on being able to say 'no'
  • Sue Rosen (#1) on finding joy
  • Steve Haines (#10) on the power of movement - internal as well as external

What does work-life balance mean to you?
