I%u2019m also a girls girl and make time to gab with my friends and just laugh. We all need more laughter and levity in our lives; so I find time to connect and, this one is a call to my childhood self; I LOVE reading. Books, physical ones you can hold, that%u2019s my happy placeQ: How do you balance career, personal life and passions? Is there such a thing as balance?Oh wow%u2026here%u2019s my mantra, all women MUST BREAK UP WITH BALANCE. Lol.My belief is that when we %u201cchase balance and see it as a measure of our worth and success %u2013 that is dangerous and leads to 2 roads: burnout and resentment. Chasing balance is unachievable for any sustained amount of time and it takes a tremendous toll on our physical, mental and emotional health to try to chase it and keep it going. If not balance, then what? Honor the season of life you%u2019re in and integration. It%u2019s about integrating your priorities based on where you are in life. Let go of what it %u201cshould look like%u201d, let go of %u201cdoing it all for fear of disappointing people%u201d because at the end of the day, you end up disappointing yourself.Q: What did you learn about high-achieving women when writing the book?That imposter syndrome is real at all levels. No matter if you%u2019re at the start of your career, mid or later years in life. It just looks different and the inner critic may be quieter at times but boy do we all have it. 50 MOST MAGAZINE - ISSUE 45
