Resilient Insights for Work & Life: From Burnout to Balance

To outsiders, often our respective jobs seem unique, fun, and enviable. Little do your friends know that you work while everyone else plays. You juggle travel schedules, demanding colleagues and budgets that often require miracles. You have days in which you feel stretched so thin you're transparent. Your family recognizes you from the picture posted in the den or else your kids won't talk to you because they've been warned to stay away from strangers.

We know that beneath this humor is the pain of reality. Research testifies that Americans across all economic spectrums are working more hours than ever before. Technology, which was to have made our lives simpler, in many ways, has added to the speed and overload we all feel. Eileen McDargh has been tracking work/life balance issues for over 20 years and without a doubt, from Australia to India to the British Isles, we are all now united in an epidemic that has no overnight cure and costs businesses millions of dollars in health costs and reduced productivity.

What can you do about it?

In this episode, Valeria Teles interviews Eileen McDargh about balancing an unequal life, connecting consciously, living holistically and more…
