If you’re trying to balance it all and feel like you’re failing, it’s not you. It’s the broken model of “work-life balance.” That may have worked in the past, but nowadays, the goal is purpose. And that’s where work-life integration comes in.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

1. Balance is about performance; integration is about purpose.
2. Your roles don’t compete, they complete your calling.
3. You can’t schedule peace, you make space for it.

In this episode of the Everyday MAGIC podcast, I encourage you to Stop Balancing It All and choose work-life integration instead.

This is not about creating perfect compartments in your life. It’s about purposeful culture.
