If work-life balance feels impossible, maybe it’s time to stop chasing it. Let me explain… This idea might shake things up, but I strongly think that work-life balance is a myth. That’s right.

We touch on how to stay driven without burning out (and yes, why burnout isn’t what you think it is) and practical tips on how to set your goals so you can turn them into wins.
