Work-Life Balance

In this week's episode we're discussing the importance of the Work-Life Balance, a balance that is far from easy to achieve in today's fast-paced world where we all have to be so many things to so many people. Advances in technology, not to mention Covid and lockdowns, have made it even harder to separate our work lives from our personal lives.In this episode, Bev and Marina delve into how there are so many factors that play into the balance between the things we have to do to earn money, and the 'fun stuff'. Among other things, the ladies discuss the ways in which they feel the pressure of balancing work, children, life admin, relationships, and time for themselves. Both make an effort to carve out much-needed me time whenever they can, with Bev turning to her beloved swimming, and Marina her love of horse riding; yet both at times feel guilty when they do. In terms of living a life that's As Good As It Gets, is it ever possible to find that 'perfect' balance when we're being pulled in so many different directions, or is this notion of perfection the very thing we need to stop striving for?
