We’ve all chased the myth of “work-life balance” — juggling career, home, faith, and impact with a constant sense of guilt and fatigue. But what if that whole idea is upside down? Are you exhausted chasing this impossible dream? What if everything you’ve heard about balancing work and life is actually holding you back?

In this episode of The Deep Dive with Jose St. Phard, we uncover why work-life balance is a trap—and reveal the powerful rhythm God designed for you instead. Drawing from Scripture and real-life leadership experience, Jose shows how embracing a rhythm of rest hard, work easy can transform your productivity, creativity, and relationships.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why “work hard, play hard” leads to burnout
• The biblical foundation for seasons and rhythms (Ecclesiastes 3)
• Practical ways to schedule rest before work to increase effectiveness
• How to prioritize what truly matters in your work and home life
• The power of partnering with God and community for sustainable leadership

If you’re a leader, parent, or change-maker longing for rest while creating meaningful impact, this episode is for you.
