In this episode, Dean Newlund and Tiffany Sauder discuss:

Work-life balance and intentional living
Managing overlapping priorities
Overcoming unbalanced characters in personal and professional roles
Practical strategies for family and career management
Creating systems to simplify mundane tasks for greater focus on meaningful goals

Key Takeaways:

Tiffany's framework centers around three interconnected circles: career, self, and family, to achieve harmony in the overlapping "balanced life of and".
Three common patterns of imbalance include the Grumpy Servant (career and family-focused), the Lonely Achiever (career and self-focused), and the Fearful Loyalist (self and family-focused), each requiring distinct strategies for balance.
Setting "minimums" for self-care and family involvement ensures consistent progress, even during the busiest or most difficult times.
Implementing systems like regular home maintenance schedules or outsourcing repetitive tasks reduces stress and creates more time for meaningful activities.

"One of the things that has worked best for me is setting minimums instead of goals for self-care, health, exercise, etc... I know what’ll catch me when everything falls apart—I get distracted, busy, and set traps so those things don’t fall off my calendar. It’s almost non-negotiable—and I’ll do anything to make it happen.” — Tiffany Sauder
