About this episode

I think balance is a myth and if I need to prioritise one thing in my life, then something else will have to come second. I'm ok with that, are you?

And if we give ourselves permission to not do it all - can we extend that same level of empathy to the families we work with?

Talking about all this in the episode - let me know your thoughts!
