Work-life balance. It’s the unicorn we all strive for and hope to achieve someday, but if you were put on the spot right now, would you be able to clearly define what work-life balance means to you? And to be frank, is balance something that even sounds appealing? Frankly, I think balance sounds plain boring. And I say that valuing nothing else in life above my family, my wife, and my two children. I’ll go even further and say that I believe work-life balance as we know it today is a myth, and if we stop perpetuating it and start striving for something else entirely, that’s when we’ll reach the sweet spot. The key is to start coveting presence over work-life balance. Have no idea what that means? Listen on and you will. In today’s interview I chat with Apryl Schlueter who is the Chief Energy! Officer of The Cheerful Mind, Inc. She’s a happiness and productivity coach, speaker, and the author of Finding Success in Balance: My Journey to The Cheerful Mind. Now hold on a second...I know what you’re already thinking: “Ugh. A life coach? No!!!!!” But Apryl is not any life coach. Her skillset ranges from being able to solder a digital circuit in her sleep (and engineer that same circuit from scratch thanks to her background in electrical engineering), compete at the highest level as a cheerleader AND trapeze artist, and she’s a total productivity and Trello nerd just like me. Needless to say, Apryl and I have a lot of strategies to share with you today about how to redefine your picture of what work-life balance really is, and more importantly, we provide several strategies to help get you there.

Episode Summary: Balance is one of those tricky topics for working parents. Most working parents find it difficult to have a balanced life. Other working parents do feel balance from time to time, but then they have periods of time when all hell breaks loose and they have to fight to get back into balance. And then there’s a whole other group of people who just don’t believe it exists at all. So I wanted to talk to an expert about this topic of balance in general, and whether it’s something that working parents should strive for, or if it’s an impossible ideal. Apryl Schlueter is the the Chief Energy Officer of The Cheerful Mind, Inc. After working in various industries, Apryl realized her true passion as a happiness and productivity expert who helps over-committed people with big dreams have more fun while getting stuff done. She earned her Certified Professional Coach credentials from the Institute of Professional Excellence in Coaching, and is the author of "Finding Success in Balance: My Journey to The Cheerful Mind." Apryl lives with her husband and two sons in Northbrook, IL.
