Karen Gibson - Finding a better work life balance

“Vague wishes to improve my work life balance which have been in my mind for the last 5 years, have now been clearly detailed and actioned”   This was part of a review somebody left on this podcast a few weeks ago and it really intrigued me.   How many of us have listened to a podcast, or read a book or watched a video and felt motivated or inspired to do something, but then nothing changes.   We can’t (and don't need to!) put absolutely everything that we learn into action, but I also know that the thing most of us struggle with is bridging the gap between knowing and doing. Doing things differently enough such that it brings about positive change.   I was delighted to track down the lady who wrote those words, Karen Gibson, and was even more grateful that she agreed to come on as a guest herself!   In our conversation she explains a little more about what she did, what had stopped her in the past, how she started to put the ideas into practice, and the difference it’s made to her.   Everybody’s situation is different of course, and there are plenty of general lessons in this that could be applied to yours.
