Asking For A Friend: How Do I Balance It All And Prioritize — Without The Overwhelm And Guilt?

In the words of Sharpay Evans “I want it all!” and we’re conditioned to believe that we should have it all — a career, a family, good health, a social life, nice things, without having to give anything up. But let’s be honest, our time and energy are finite resources and everything in life comes with tradeoffs. So the real key to “balance” is figuring out what you want to prioritize right now, and what can take the backseat.  

This week we’re tackling a question about how to balance and prioritize everything when you’re feeling overwhelmed and stretched too thin. Juggling work, family and friends can leave us feeling like we aren’t succeeding at any of it, but it’s time to give ourselves a little grace and accept the season that we’re in. 

Join us as we chat about:

• The myth of having it all and the truth about balance
• The “seasons” Gill and Cailyn are currently in
• The best advice from Shonda Rhimes
• The difference between “legitimate overwhelm” and “lifestyle overwhelm” 
• Mel Robbins’ antidote to overwhelm
• Identifying lies we tell ourselves
• How to actually prioritize 

You *can* have it all. Just not all at once. Let the journey unfold as you become ready for it.
