Are you struggling to balance your work and personal life? Do you find it difficult to set boundaries while working from home?

In this podcast episode, our co-founder, Alex Birkett, is joined by Bridget Poetker, Director of Growth at Loop & Tie. She also co-hosted a pod called Self Control & Cheese to help 20-somethings in b2b tech navigate their personal and professional lives. 

Alex and Bridget reflect on their early twenties and ambitious mindsets but acknowledge the importance of balance as they have progressed in their careers. They emphasize the value of structure, setting expectations, and planning ahead. They also discuss the challenges of working remotely and the need to consciously take breaks and rest in order to be more productive.

They also touch on the importance of company culture and ask tough questions during job interviews to determine if it aligns with the candidate's needs. They suggest that interviews should be a two-way street, with the candidate also interviewing the company to ensure a mutual fit.

Overall, this episode provides valuable insights and advice for anyone struggling to balance their work and personal life. So take a break from the constant consumption of content and give this episode a listen!
