Work Life Balance My Arse
Work-life balance is not just a hot topic – it’s a deeply misunderstood construct. We are told we should be striving for that elusive balance, the answer to feeling stressed and overwhelmed, finding happiness and contentment.
However, this quest for balance is futile. Attaining work-life balance is impossible. This book dispels three myths associated with work-life balance:
- That work and life can be separate entities
- That balance implies success happens in the middle
- That work-life balance is a destination
Debbie provides inspiration to unpick the myths and to really think through what work-life balance means for you.
Each chapter provides practical steps you can take to identify what “matters most” to you, to integrate your work and your life in ways that work for you and are true to your values, and to live with a greater sense of purpose. Understand the myths, release your struggle for perfection, and enjoy the journey to creating a magical life for yourself and those you love.

I am known for being a courageous catalyst for change. With 25 years working in the online collaboration space with Microsoft technologies and digital transformation, I have helped 100’s of businesses with the people and behavioural elements of technology.
Underlying any organisational change, is personal transformation, which has to be my biggest passion. My own self-development journey started when I was 11, and has continued through years of reading and research. Through my desire to focus on what “matters most” , I have found contentment in my own work-life imbalances.
This led me to publishing a book dispelling the myths of Work Life Balance.
I deliver practical guidance for others on the path to “Recharge“. I love seeing the lightbulb moments, as people discover their own path.
