Host of top-rated podcast, A Life of Greatness, Sarah Grunberg sits down with me today to share her learnings on what inner alchemy is required to live a happy, fulfilling life of greatness. In this episode, Sarah discusses her approach to balancing work and family life, acknowledging that she may not always have as much time for her kids due to work commitments, but she emphasizes that when she does spend time with them, she is fully present and engaged. We talk about the fallacy of perfectionism, "radical acceptance" and how trying to achieve perfect work-life balance can lead to feeling guilty and overwhelmed. She shares just how she achieves this instead!She of course also shares her definition of greatness and helps us reflect on what brings us joy - perfect for anyone looking for side hustle or hobby!

Today's episode is for anyone wanting more time for what they love + needing a tangible and pragmatic way to prioritise themselves.We will chat about the importance of having clear priorities and how to be flexible with them. I share my two lists of priorities: non-negotiables and wants, which will ensure you are always making time for the things that are most important to you, even when life gets chaotic.HOWEVER, because life is unpredictable and things don't always go according to plan, we need to have some flexibility with these often 'rigid' non-negotiables.
