#112: Life Balance Self-Assessment
Today we are going delve into the often misunderstood concept of life balance. We are going to challenge the common belief that life balance is unattainable, proposing instead a realistic approach to achieving it. We will discuss the seven essential areas of life: spiritual, family, health and self-care, intellectual, social and fun, career and business, and financial. By sharing personal stories and engaging with the struggles I face, I aim to demonstrate the importance of assessing and intentionally adjusting these areas. This episode not only provides practical tools for self-assessment but also encourages setting achievable goals aligned with the legacy listeners aspire to leave. It's a call to action for listeners to face their fears, embrace uncomfortable growth, and ultimately seek a balanced life that reflects their true values and aspirations.

Customer Reviews
Meaningful & Effective Coaching
I have searched through literally hundreds of podcasts for emotional and mental health support. Adam asks the questions and actually provides the tools that transforms and heals with REAL content. On demand help that is sure to help you too!
Adam is the real deal!
My sister found Adam through a basic on-line search. I think she was tired of hearing me complain about my current and past experiences with Life Coaching/Counseling. She checked out Adam's background and website and thought he may be a good fit. My sister wasn't wrong, I don't have a large enough vocabulary to adequately describe just how amazing and impactfull Adam has been, how much better he is making my life. What I can do is strongly encourage you to listen to his podcast, that's all the proof you'll need.
Enjoying the podcast!
