In this episode of Before We Get It Right, Leah and Katherine unpack the cultural obsession with “doing it all” — and why so many of us feel like we’re constantly falling short.

We’ve been sold a shiny version of balance: thriving career, fulfilling relationships, optimized health, perfectly curated home, active social life — all at once. But is that actually balance? Or is it burnout with better branding?

In this conversation, we explore:

• Where the “do it all” myth comes from
• The invisible labor and expectations that fuel it
• Why balance isn’t a fixed formula
• How different seasons of life require different trade-offs
• What it looks like to define balance for yourself instead of inheriting it

We share personal stories, mindset shifts, and practical reflections on releasing unrealistic standards and embracing something more sustainable — and more human.

If you’ve ever felt behind, stretched thin, or unsure whether you’re “doing enough,” this episode is for you.
