Work-Life Balance Is A Lie with Sope Agbelusi

Chasing work-life balance is not only impossible—it's damaging your happiness, fueling guilt, anxiety, and burnout. In this powerful episode, Sope Agbelusi dismantles the myth of balance, revealing how the pursuit of an impossible ideal sets us up for constant stress and dissatisfaction.

Inspired by Jay-Z's orchestral performance at Radio City Music Hall, Sope introduces the transformative concept of work-life harmony—a beautiful integration rather than rigid separation of life's roles.

You'll discover:

• Why the concept of balance inherently creates guilt and stress.
• Real-life examples showing the pitfalls of strict balance and the freedom found in harmony.
• Proven research from organisational and positive psychology supporting work-life integration.
• Practical strategies to shift from exhausting balance to energising harmony.

Stop chasing balance. Start orchestrating harmony.

Key highlights:

1. The three ways balance sets you up to fail.
2. Powerful real-world stories illustrating harmony.
3. Actionable steps to achieve resonance in your life.
