In this heartfelt episode of Coffee, Cocktails, and Clarity, I open up about what balance really looks like — especially for women juggling life, work, and everything in between. Inspired by my own health journey and an interview with Broadway star Renée Elise Goldsberry, I unpack why “perfect balance” is an illusion and why it’s okay to shift, pause, and adjust as life changes.
We talk about the emotional and physical toll of chasing perfection, how to protect your peace through boundaries, and what it really means to give yourself grace. This conversation is your reminder that balance isn’t something you find — it’s something you practice.
TL;DR
In this episode, I get real about what balance really means for women—letting go of perfection, setting boundaries, and learning to move with life instead of against it.
