#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
