22. You're Not Responsible for That

Many of us take on too much responsibility at work: responsibility for everyone’s happiness, for the success of the organization, and more. This is incredibly draining, and in this early Autumn period, we can learn how to create our own healthy ecosystem by amplifying our integrity and sloughing off what’s not for us. In this episode, we explore: * Work-life integration * Concepts of “harmony” and “balance” and what they really mean * What we are responsible for in life and work * What we’re not responsible for in life and at work * How to shift the dynamic of taking on too much responsibility If this podcast feels supportive to you, please rate it and share it with others!
