Balance is Bollocks (unless YOU are part of the equation)

Your fortnightly Work | Life | YOU recalibration in one soulful, strategic, and slightly sweary email to bring you back to centre.
Clarity Corner
Let’s talk about balance.
You know, that mythical utopia we’re all supposed to be striving for?
Like if you just found the right morning routine, the perfect work/home ratio, the magical unicorn of childcare and client boundaries… everything would feel easier.
But here’s the truth: Balance is bollocks.
Or at least, it is if you’re not in the equation.
Because what good is balance if you’re still stuck in survival mode? If your 'life' section is full of chores and chaos, and your 'work' section is a productivity prison disguised as 'passion'.
If the only time you feel like YOU is when you’re scrolling Instagram in the loo… it’s time for a reframe.
That’s exactly what I've unpacked in Episode 2 of The Work | Life | YOU Adjustment podcast: The Balance Myth + Why YOU Belong at the Centre
A quick-hit reality check to remind you: balance isn’t about doing it all - it’s about building a life that finally feels like yours.

This week, instead of asking am I doing enough?, ask:
🤔 Am I even in this picture?
🤔 Do I feel lit up by what I’m building – or just weighed down by it?
🤔 What would balance look like if I was the priority, not the afterthought?
If you don’t love the answers, good news - the Mid Year Celebration was made for this exact reason.👇🏻
Your Success Boost
Small shifts. Big energy. Let’s go.
🎉 The Mid Year Reset Your Business (and Brain) Are Craving – Friday 20th June
This isn’t just a day out with inspiring chat and a plush spread. This is your permission slip to lift your head, look around, and say: “Right. What do I actually want next?” You’ll be surrounded by women who get it (the pressure, the passion, the plate-spinning) and are sooo done with doing business the hard way.
Expect something to shift. And to walk away with a clearer head, a fired-up heart, and a plan that actually fits you.
💡 Success Hack: Balance Audit Time
Take 5 minutes to sketch your current work/life/you pie.
Yes, draw it. A big circle with three sections. Then shade how much of it is getting your energy right now. If your 'YOU' slice looks more like a sad sliver of cake at a party you didn’t want to go to… that’s your sign to make some adjustments. This is your life. You get to choose how it feels.
