Whole-Life Balance

Living your authentic life

We talk a lot about ‘work-life balance’ but this phrase highlights an unhelpful split between ‘work’ and ‘life’. Work is part of life and it’s not healthy to separate them in a way which might lead us to regard work as ‘bad’ and everything outside of work as ‘good’. In this 9-minute podcast, author and consultant Doug Miller shows us how to have a whole life perspective, applying the same personal principles to every aspect of our lives.
