Are you waiting to get through quarter-end, finish the budget or get your team fully staffed before making plans for the rest of your life?

When one busy stretch keeps replacing another, that can mean waiting indefinitely.

In this episode, I share how committing to three workouts a week helped me start changing my working habits - and test my assumption that work would suffer if I wasn’t always available.

Having more time and energy for your life involves both changing how you work and getting clear about what you want work to leave room for. We explore how those two things support each other, including:

• Why evenings can become your automatic backup plan for work.
• How specific personal plans help you make more deliberate decisions during the workday.
• How to test one change, compare the results with what you feared and adjust.

Your starting point: choose one thing you want to make room for next week and test one change in how you work that could support it.

Does feeling overwhelmed, tired and stressed seem like the price of having the finance career you want?

For a long time, that’s what I believed. No matter how much I prepared, how involved I was in my team’s work or how many hours I worked, I always felt like it wasn’t enough. And when I went home, work came with me – it’s all I could think about.

In this introductory episode of Your Work Is Not Your Life, I share how finding podcasts helped me question what I thought success required and start seeing different possibilities for my work and my life.

I talk about:

• The expectations that kept me overpreparing, checking email and staying involved in everything.
• Two early realizations about who I wanted to be and how I wanted to be remembered.
• How those realizations changed the way I worked.

Finance still had its demands. But I discovered that I could change how I approached them and make more room for the rest of my life.

That’s the possibility I hope this podcast opens up for you, too.
