Episode Details

Hello - today we're discussing the topic of how to balance time effectively between socialising and alone time.

This is something that has perplexed me for a very long time! So I wanted to explore whether such a perfect balance existed (spoiler alert: it doesn't!), and how we can improve the way we spend time both alone and with other people, without burning out.

Journaling prompts for understanding how you spend time alone:

• Do you often choose to spend your time alone?
• Is the time you spend alone something that you're retreating into?
• Are you trying to escape from something else?

Apologies for the delay in getting this one out!
