Have you ever reached the end of the day and thought, I was busy all day, but did I actually live it? In this episode, Maryam and Teryl explore how to move beyond the cycle of constant busyness and create days that feel balanced, energizing, and sustainable.

Together, they break down why balance is so hard in today’s world of nonstop notifications and interruptions, then share simple “anchors” that can ground your day—from morning rituals and focused work blocks to intentional pauses, connection, and evening wind-downs. You’ll hear research-backed strategies (like why morning sunlight boosts your mood, or how a 5-minute break every hour sharpens focus) and see what a practical flow for a balanced day can actually look like.

Most importantly, Maryam and Teryl emphasize that balance isn’t one-size-fits-all. They’ll guide you in identifying your own non-negotiables so you can design a daily rhythm that restores rather than drains you.

Whether you’re feeling stretched thin or just want more intention in your day, this conversation will help you reclaim your time with small, doable shifts.
