Work-Life Balance Is a Myth: What High-Achieving Women Do Instead | Shop Talk by KNOW
Work-life balance for women entrepreneurs: does it actually exist, or is it just a cute thing to say?
On this episode of Shop Talk by KNOW, Sarah Benken Foushee sits down with Selena Worrell, Victoria Thomas, and Raven Watson to get honest about the balance myth. Victoria gets up between 2 and 3 a.m. seven days a week to log 35 uninterrupted hours before her team wakes up. Raven sent her daughter to daycare at six weeks old after a promotion, and learned years later it was one of the best things for her. Selena, who builds her business alongside her husband, explains why she wants her grandkids to see the grind firsthand. Together they unpack mom guilt, the sacrifice behind success, and the boundaries that keep them sane.
In this video, you'll learn:
- Why balance is a rhythm, not a 50-50 split
- How to reframe mom guilt: modeling your dreams is a gift to your kids
- The leadership shift every high achiever needs: stop giving answers, start asking questions
- The non-negotiable boundaries (and outsourcing hacks) that take the pressure off
