28. Work/ Life Balance

In this heartfelt episode of Power Skills with Janna, Janna Jones dives into the oh-so-tricky topic of work/life balance—and it’s not your typical 50/50 split advice. Balance is as unique as you are, shaped by your purpose, vision, and values.
Janna unpacks the neuroscience behind why alignment feels so good (thanks, prefrontal cortex!), shares stories like a finance leader reclaiming family time, and offers practical strategies to define your balance. From setting boundaries to making tough choices about misaligned roles, you’ll learn how to craft a life that’s intentional and joyful.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
• How to define balance using your purpose, vision, and values as your compass.
• Why your brain craves alignment and how mismatches lead to burnout.
• Steps to audit your reality, negotiate trade-offs, or walk away when needed.
• Ways to integrate work and life for flow—like walking meetings or creative family moments.
• The power of celebrating small wins to fuel motivation.
• A weekly challenge to set a SMARTER goal and take one step toward balance.

🎧 Tune in for reflection prompts, and a challenge to pick one area for more balance—then take that rocket-fuel first step.
