I’ve been a fan of Robin Long‘s Pilates classes and admired her as a business person for years, so when she invited me to be a guest on her show, I jumped at the chance! In episode 11 of The Balanced Life Podcast, we discuss how I balance all of the different aspects of life — work, marriage, motherhood, etc — and how I’ve created a sense of self-awareness to guide me through all of the chaos. Here are some of the show highlights we cover:

• What a typical day in the life looks like as a mom and jewelry designer 
• How launching a business impacted my life 
• How to make choices that support your priorities and needs 
• Enjoying the process of self-care and establishing a night-time routine 
• How to realistically invest in your marriage and “date” your spouse 
• Letting go of things that aren’t priorities and focusing on current seasons 
• Keeping yourself in check with an achievement-based drive 
• Following your hunger and practicing intuitive eating, as well as overcoming diet culture and the freedom it brings  
• Finding ways to connect with others outside of self-deprecation 

You can listen to the whole episode here. I’d love to hear your thoughts and takeaways after you listen to it!
