In this episode, Nicole chats with Erin Clifford—author of Wellness Reimagined, health & wellness coach, and mental health counselor—about why chasing “work-life balance” sets so many of us up to fail, and how to design work-life harmony instead. Erin shares a compassionate, holistic framework that blends physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being, plus actionable ways to set boundaries, beat anxiety, and build sustainable habits one small win at a time.
You’ll hear:
Why “limits liberate you”: simple boundary scripts that protect your time and energy
The values → decisions link: how clarifying your top 5 values reduces burnout
The “crowd it out” method for nutrition (and how the 80/20 rule actually looks IRL)
A realistic approach to movement (why daily activity + steady strength training matters)
Pocket-sized self-care (10 minutes a day) and easy mindfulness options beyond meditation
Morning routine tweaks that calm anxiety and set the tone for your day
If you’ve ever struggled with people-pleasing, overcommitting, or the pressure to “do it all,” this conversation will help you reset—gently and effectively.
