  • 20: Forget Balance. Find Your Rhythm Instead.
    2025/04/28
    The truth? Work-life balance is a myth that keeps women stuck. In this episode of Midwife Life, Diane Ortega, certified nurse midwife and maternal mental health advocate, dismantles the toxic idea of balance and offers something better—living in seasons. Whether you're an entrepreneur, caregiver, or doing all the things (usually at once), this conversation will help you release the guilt of trying to do it all. Diane shares personal stories and practical strategies for aligning your work, life, and well-being in a way that honors your energy—not some impossible standard. What You’ll Learn: Why work-life balance doesn’t work How to identify the season you’re in (growth, rest, caregiving) Ways to align your energy—not your hours How to integrate your life instead of compartmentalizing it The power of sacred no’s (and why they protect your peace) If you’re tired of feeling like you’re failing at balance, this episode is your permission slip to live differently. 🎧 Listen now and tag Diane with your favorite mindset shift from this episode.
