Do you ever feel like you’re dragging your heels in getting started with something?Does your to-do list stare back at you as a reminder of all the things that you need to get done but haven’t made time for yet? And does that in turn create a sense of overwhelm, which skews your sense of work-life balance? If so, this podcast episode could be just what you need to help get yourself on track to finding your balance in 2024. My guest this episode is the wellness business mentor, self-belief coach, and host of the podcast “Just Start Now”, Vicky Shilling. In this episode, we cover: 🎙️Vicky’s practical tips on summoning up the motivation to get things started in your life. 🎙️How “taking control” of your emotions can help provide clarity when setting your priorities. 🎙️How engaging with social media can skew your balance and what to do about it. 🎙️ What it’s like pursuing balance as a career-driven mother who, before having kids, worked 24/7 and loved it. 🎙️How pregnancy impacts your sense of balance (particularly when you’re not broody). 🎙️The experience of being a child of divorced parents and how that experience can influence work-life balance decisions later on in life. As an avid listener of Vicky’s podcast, throughout this episode I try to keep a lid on my excitement (and nerves) at interviewing an experienced podcaster whose work I have enjoyed. Vicky did not disappoint; her willingness to be open and vulnerable, as well as provide explicit practical advice, provided lots of food for thought, and tips for facing the year ahead with motivation and a positive mental attitude. As such, there’s lots for listeners to take away, whatever time of year they happen to tune in to this episode. And it feels like the perfect note on which to kickstart Season 3 of ‘A Fine Balance - The Podcast’.
