Knowing what brings you meaning and purpose and joy in life can lead you to finding a work-life balance that works for you.

Knowing what brings you meaning and purpose and joy in life can lead you to finding a work-life balance that works for you.

What does 'having it all' look like? Can the principles of Yin & Yang help us to find a work-life balance that suits us?

Great blog! I'm often dismayed to hear people talk about supervisions being βœ”οΈbox or only about work performance. Life & work are intrinsically linked, we can't always leave the proverbial baggage at the door. It's important to feel there is someone to talk to anytime, not waiting until supervision.
