22. Work-Life Balance - with Sarah Schofield

Poor Work-Life Balance is often quoted as a reason for job dissatisfaction and intention to leave in the veterinary profession, so what better reason to dive a bit deeper into this subject! Host Petra Agthe and our guest Sarah Schofield discuss many different aspects including: 

• Whether Work-Life Balance is a helpful term in the first place, and alternative terms
• Common reasons why our life may be out of kilter
• Ways to overcome unhelpful mindsets and other barriers in order to gain a more healthy Work-Life Balance
• How to find more joy in our lives
• How to put theory into action
