Speaker:

Welcome to be.

Speaker:

Well do well, this show is all about exploring the myth

Speaker:

that is work-life balance.

Speaker:

My name is Amin and I am excited to be your host for the show.

Speaker:

I've spent the last decade on a quest to achieve work-life balance.

Speaker:

And I've learned a lot along the way.

Speaker:

Ironically, the thing that I determined is that work-life

Speaker:

balance doesn't actually exist.

Speaker:

When I think of balance.

Speaker:

I think of one of those old scales on one side is your personal life.

Speaker:

And on the other side is your work life to be balanced suggests that both sides

Speaker:

are stationary and have equal weight.

Speaker:

And he changed to one side results in imbalance.

Speaker:

That imbalance is what causes us so much stress because we're constantly

Speaker:

trying to get back to center.

Speaker:

Life is constantly changing.

Speaker:

When we're younger, we have much more energy.

Speaker:

We spend more time outdoors and we probably laugh more.

Speaker:

As we get older, we start to accumulate things and responsibilities.

Speaker:

We get more serious.

Speaker:

We spend more time working so that we can earn more money to pay for these things.

Speaker:

Then perhaps you have kids and everything gets thrown off again.

Speaker:

Clearly life is seldom balanced

Speaker:

In each episode, I'll be discussing various topics, ranging from business

Speaker:

and marketing to health and fitness, to parenting and productivity.

Speaker:

Occasionally I'll bring on a guest and deep dive into a specific topic as

Speaker:

an entrepreneur, husband and parent.

Speaker:

I know how challenging life can become, but I'm here to tell you that you don't

Speaker:

have to choose between being well.

Speaker:

Or being healthy, you don't have to choose between work and life.

Speaker:

You can live a full and joyous life.

Speaker:

If you're willing to let go of the notion that your life has to be

Speaker:

perfectly balanced all the time.

Speaker:

I'm so excited that you're here on this journey with me.
