IUC: Balance is B.S.

August 6, 2021
9:00-10:30 a.m.
We live in a world obsessed with the belief that life fulfillment and achievement come from the illusion of balance. Maintaining the lie of perfectionism requires a constant calibration of work and life which keeps us playing small and totally exhausted. It’s time to shout, “Balance is B.S.!” to move out of a perfection paradigm and into an alignment mindset. Join Hailee Bland-Walsh, successful entrepreneur and founder of City Gym KC as she provides tools to help us move into an alignment mindset and find ultimate success. Register here >>
