#54 Why Balance Is a Myth (And What to Practice Instead)
What's in this episode
What if everything you've been told about balance is wrong? In this episode of the Wholistic Productivity Podcast, Chris LeBrun breaks down why the "perfect pie chart" version of balance is setting you up to feel like a failure — and what to replace it with instead. The answer isn't more discipline or better time management. It's rhythm. Chris shares a candid look at his own heavy seasons as a nonprofit fundraiser and how leaning intentionally into one area of life — then consciously shifting back — is what real balance actually looks like over time. Whether you're feeling stretched thin right now or just stuck in a season that was never supposed to be permanent, this episode will give you a fresh framework for how to think about balance — and a challenge to figure out which season you're actually in. 🎧 Subscribe and listen on your favorite podcast platform so you never miss an episode of the Wholistic Productivity Podcast.
