In today’s episode, you’re going to find out how.
Is having work-life balance achievable?
Is it realistic as a veterinary professional?
What does work-life balance even mean to me?
These are likely questions you have had, running through your head.
Today, you’re going to hear an episode of my old podcast, Escape the Nine to Five, where I talked about the same issues you're facing, only to a wider range of working professionals.

Our guest this week: Nigel Marsh (TED Speaker & Author)
Nigel is an advertising executive who lost his job with four young kids and decided to remain unemployed for a year to spend time with his family and figure out what work-life balance meant to him.
He's also done a wildly popular Ted talk on work-life balance, authored multiple books including: “Fat 40 and Fired”, hosts his own podcast, and speaks around the world about his experience, including at veterinary conferences.

In this episode you’ll learn:
- What time frame to measure work-life balance
- Why you can’t take the world’s problems on your shoulders
- How to make change in your career, even if you’re scared of making change.

YOUR NEXT STEP: Define What Work-Life Balance Means to You.
Privately ask yourself, honestly, what type of person do I want to be? What type of life do I want to lead? What type of legacy do I want to leave ?
Then ask:
What type of person am I?
What type of life am I leading?
What type of legacy will I leave, if I carry on this way?
Identify if there is a gap between those two things and finally ask yourself:
Am I going to do anything about the gap?
As Nigel says, decide don't slide.
And remember if you want to do anything about the gap, but are scared of making change, start small.
Even if it's just one small thing a month over time, you will head in the right direction.
