Episode Notes

Welcome to another episode of Don’t Do That! with your hosts Karen and Anee! Today, we’re diving into the idea of work-life balance. We unpack what aspects of work culture support or prevent work-life balance.

In this episode, we discuss:

Some key takeaways are:

• Work-life balance is not one size fits all.
