Leadovation Tiffany Sauder: Managing Career, Family, and Self Without Burnout
About Tiffany Sauder:
Tiffany Sauder is a wife, mom, entrepreneur, CEO, board member, investor, podcast host and keynote speaker. For twenty years, she and her husband have been building their companies and their family on the exact same timeline. That means four kids, three businesses and two careers, all building towards one abundant “Life of And”.
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
