The technological advancements that were meant to provide us with more family and leisure time have made it increasingly difficult for us to maintain whole and balanced lives or a healthy work-life balance. Virtual relationships are replacing physical, human contact and longer working hours are eating into the “quality” time we need for ourselves. Despite these challenges, we must consider what we can do to ensure a better, overall well-being. In this conversation, we ask: What am I doing to create the balanced life I desire? Is it working for me? Why or why not?
