Episode notes
Balance Is About Priorities Not Equality
- Balance isn't about equal time for every area of life.
- It's about prioritizing what matters most to you right now.

- Trade-offs are empowering because they show you are in charge of choices.
- Our brains focus on losses, so reframe trade-offs by looking at what you gain.

- Use that gain to remind yourself the trade-off aligns with your values.
