Work Life Balance: Does it Really Exist? with Andrea Maxim {Ep 073}
I have a pretty unpopular opinion when it comes to the topic of work life balance, and we are going to chat ALL about it in today’s episode!
Real talk: I feel it’s pretty sexist to ask women how they balance it all. You don’t hear people asking men the same question, right? But until our culture catches up with the reality of women earning and working outside the home so that both partners can share the load, it will continue to come up and be something that we have to manage.
SPOILER ALERT – we’re also going to talk about lady bosses, you don’t want to miss it!

Hey there amazing entrepreneurs & business owners – ready to talk about that elusive unicorn of work life balance?
As I said above, this is something I really struggle with chatting about on the podcast because I feel like it is sexist to even ask women how they handle it all as a mom and business owner. Moms are expected to handle the load of home life PLUS working outside the home – and usually unequally.
I know that so many of my students are trying to figure this out, so we are going to dive into it today!
Andrea Maxim is a naturopathic doctor and Founder of the MAXIMized Practitioner Method helping health and wellness practitioners create a 6-figure business while having a life outside of the office. And if you’re thinking of hitting that stop button because you’re not in the health and well space – wait – because the amazing wisdom that she has to share is applicable for ANY business owner. Even if you don’t have kids, chances are you have other things that are vying for your attention, whether you have other family members, friends, responsibilities, or even a day job, so we are going to look at the reality of really working on your dreams, even when you have other responsibilities too!
Listen in as we talk about work life balance and growing a business, and working towards your biggest goals!
