Build a Guilt-Free, Freedom-Filled Business & Life on the Women Connected in Wisdom Podcast
Work-Life balance, what is that? How easy is it for you to create healthy boundaries for your business & life? If you say any of that is challenging for you, you’re not alone.
Occupational Wellness is the feeling of purpose and productivity in one's chosen profession. This dimension is a crucial element in creating a life that you love. Also known as work-life balance, it is an enriched and fulfilling work experience that combines with a healthy personal life.
Shannon Mitchell and Christine Gautreaux, hosts of the Women Connected in Wisdom show, invited me to share my work-life crisis story and lessons learned. We talked about my experiences in 2009 when I was told I would not see 2010 and what I changed in my mindset and actions to create a life that I love.
Listen in as we discuss how to build a guilt-free, freedom-filled business and life.
