This week on Journey to June, I sat down with Amy Pierre-Russo. Amy spent a decade in HR before becoming a life and business coach, and she built something she calls Hustle to Harmony.

Instead of the scale — which just makes you feel like you're failing the second one side gets heavier — she thinks of it as a pie. You only get 100%. Some seasons work takes 60, some seasons your kid needs 60. That's not imbalance. That's just life.

We went deep into her own story too. Amy lost her mom when she was six, and was raised by her dad, who made the choice not to bring anyone else into the house full-time. I asked her what that absence taught her, and what it's like now raising her own son knowing what that gap felt like as a kid.

We talked about the guilt of leaving for work trips, the small rituals that make it easier, and this idea of surrender — that you don't have to make peace with hard choices, you just have to give yourself grace around them.

This one stayed with me. If you've ever felt like you're failing at the "balance" thing, I think you'll feel a little lighter after this.
