Hi there Changemakers, In this episode of Her EnterpRISE podcast, We are doing the first interview. You’ll get to learn more about me ( Melissa) and how I can help.

We answer the following questions:

  • How do you achieve work life balance?
  • When was a time that you had to put your foot down to protect your time and values?
  • What is FIRE?
  • Does saying no, make people trust you more?

Quick peek at what’s in the episode:

  • There are a lot of myths we are told from a young age. In this episode I share why I don’t believe work life balance is a real thing.
  • Success is defined in many ways. Identifying what success means to you will help guide you in your journey through life. I share that, success to me, is being able to take time off to have a mini retirement.
  • We talk about the limited time we have to rejuvenate with vacation time, how the current expectation is to always be available, and the restrictions we face when time off is for mourning.

Quotes from the podcast

“Why are you doing it ? Why are you trying to be an entrepreneur? Usually its time. Usually its Time to spend with the people you care about.”

Melissa Neacato

“So it sounds like having clear boundaries is a way, you maintain being able to fulfill expectations”

Kelly Pahman

I really resonate with what you are saying that someone else can’t tell you how to value your time off no matter why you are taking it off.
