Скачать или смотреть The Reality of Balancing Work, Family & Side Hustles

Work today doesn’t fit neatly into a 9–5 anymore.

Family life is fuller, louder, and more demanding than we ever expected.

And side hustles? They promise freedom, but quietly demand time, energy, and discipline.
Somewhere in the middle, we’re all trying to “balance it all” — and wondering why it still feels hard.

In this episode of Between Mates, Ash and Liam talk honestly about the reality of balancing work, family, and side hustles — and why discipline, not balance, is what actually holds everything together.

🔍 In this episode, we talk about:

• Our experiences of side hustles

• Balancing different priorities

• Fear of starting

• Build a team / network

• Discipline and consistency

• 5 key takeaways + 1 bonus tip


💡 Ideas you can try in your own life:

• Decide what season you’re in — growth, stability, recovery — and act accordingly

• Be honest about what you can’t prioritise right now, not just what you can

• Put simple structure around your time (non-negotiables, protected hours, cut-off points)

• Talk openly with your partner or family about trade-offs before resentment builds

• Measure progress in consistency, not intensity

We’re not gurus or productivity experts — just two mates talking honestly about the pressure to do more, earn more, be present, and still stay sane, in the hope it helps you feel a bit less alone while you figure out your own version of balance.

🎙️ Between Mates — two friends, two perspectives — talking about life, love, work, and everything in between.
