Emma Grede recently had a hot take that work-life balance is not your job’s responsibility. Many people thought it was a controversial opinion, but it made us think. What relationship do we need with work so we can also show up in our lives? That answer looks different for each of us, and at different moments of our lives. We believe our lives and our happiness are our responsibility…but that doesn’t mean employers are fully off the hook.

In this episode, we chat about:

- whether you can really balance work-life balance with ambition

- learning that balance rarely means 50-50

- moving from an employee mindset to an employer mindset

- better questions to ask in a job interview to suss out work-life balance

- & so much more!
