From Burnout to Balance: Tips for Juggling Work and Personal Life Behind the Spoolie EP 3

Behind the Spoolie Podcast Episode 3: Juggling Work and Personal Life

Hey Spoolie Squad! Bri here, your host, and I can't believe we're already on our third episode of the podcast. Time flies when you're having fun, right? In this episode, Sandy and I dive deep into the topic of juggling work and personal life.

We start off by sharing our weekend experiences - Sandy had a relaxing time with family at the pool, while I was busy preparing for the upcoming IBS convention, working on flyers and pamphlets. The convention is just two weeks away, and the excitement is building up.

We then get into the nitty-gritty of our daily work routines. Sandy talks about her early mornings, packed work schedule, and the challenges of balancing work, family, and personal time. As a mom, she juggles multiple responsibilities and finds it hard to fit in time for the gym and self-care.

I open up about my struggles with prioritizing work over personal relationships and how it was affecting me. I share a moment of realization when I was consumed by creating content and neglecting quality time with loved ones. Sandy offers valuable advice on putting family first and finding a balance between work and personal life.

We discuss the importance of taking things one step at a time, creating priority lists, and not overwhelming ourselves with tasks. Sandy shares her method of organizing tasks into personal and business categories, while I prefer using phone notes for a more visual reminder.

Overall, this episode is a candid conversation about the challenges we face in juggling work and personal life, the importance of self-care, and finding a balance that works for each of us. Tune in to hear more about our experiences and tips for managing the daily hustle!

Until next time, stay fabulous, Spoolie Squad!
