Ep. 32 Work Life Imbalance

In today’s episode, we’re diving into a topic that’s close to home—and I blame you, Momster! Yep, you taught me the “work ethic that brings work-life imbalance.” I know, you’ve told me to slow down, but somehow I learned it from you. Kidding, kind of. 

We’re talking about the generational legacy of women juggling it all—and, let's be honest, then some. I’m not just blaming you, promise. This culture of overwork and sacrifice was bred from centuries of women being expected to do more, be more, work harder, and put up with some seriously inappropriate “stuff” in the workplace, all in the name of breaking that glass ceiling (or, as you prefer, the concrete ceiling).

But before we start blaming ourselves, let’s take a look at history. Women have always worked—whether it was in the fields, making goods, or providing essential services. Fast forward through time, and suddenly it’s the industrial revolution, WWII, the feminist revolution, the Equal Pay Act, the Civil Rights Act… the list goes on. But let’s not get too cozy—because while we’ve come a long way, women still face some serious hurdles, including microaggressions, double standards, and the ever-present struggle for balance.

In this episode, we’re tackling how these historical shifts have shaped the work-life imbalance we see today. It’s more than just a personal issue—it’s systemic. So buckle up as we take a witty, smart look at why it’s so hard to have it all, and how breaking free from this cycle might just require more than just a “you need to slow down” reminder from Momster.

Tune in for the mix of history, humor, and a whole lot of truth about how women are still fighting for balance in an imbalanced world!
