#16: Hey you! You're going to get a lot of value from this episode. This topic literally does apply to every person. It\u2019s about this thing we\u2019ve been chasing to no avail - it\u2019s called work-life balance. And what a breath of fresh air it was to speak to someone who\u2019s life work is to help educate us that work-life balance is a myth, it\u2019s unattainable. Instead, Dana is teaching people that we can consciously choose where we spend our time and energy, and which facets of life we choose to settle. I love that she\u2019s taking the term \u201csettling\u201d and giving it a positive connotation.\xa0

It was amazing to be able to speak to Dana and get some clarity on what she means by all of this. Here\u2019s a quick bio on her before we jump into the episode\u2026 Dana Look-Arimoto is an executive and leadership coach, mentor, inventor of Stop Settling\xae, and the author of Stop Settling, Settle Smart: Rethinking Work-life Balance, Redesign Your Busy Life.\xa0
