Is balance a myth for working mums? Or have we just misunderstood what it really looks like?
In this episode of Where Did I Go?, Dani sits down with psychologist and founder of Balanced Mum Academy, Roz Davies, to talk about the emotional, psychological, and identity-level shifts that happen when you’re a parent trying to do it all.
Together, they explore:
- Why burnout rewires the brain and makes change feel impossible
- The 9 emotional needs that must be met for us to feel truly balanced
- How time and energy are directly linked to our sense of identity
- Why staying stuck can feel easier than asking yourself hard questions
- The difference between perceived success and true fulfilment
- Practical ways to reconnect with who you are and what matters now
Whether you’re feeling lost after returning to work, struggling to juggle it all, or just questioning what “success” even means anymore—this conversation will help you reflect and realign.
