Life in the Middle with Sharona Patrice
Episode 17: A Different Way
Do you ever wonder if there's a different way, a better way to get something done? Are you over working hard and overworking?
In this episode, I reflect on my search for a different way to approach working in a way that feels easier and less hard. I give most of my attention to work and less time to other parts of my life; like fun, a relationship, and having a consistent spiritual practice; all the important parts of life that require time and attention. I believe I can have a life with the money I want, doing the things that I want, and spending time with the people I want, without it always being so hard.
You might be tired of the same old routine or you might want an easier way of working too. If you’re feeling burnt out and you believe there’s a different (maybe even better) way to get things done, this episode is for you.

Episode Gems:
“I think you go through phases in your life where you start to assess where you are, what you want, what’s working and what’s not working. Right now, what's not working is the way that I’m working. And what’s not working is how I’m approaching working. And what’s not working is the constant pushing, forcing, and being in situations where I’m feeling drained and obligated.”
“I feel like we tend to sacrifice ourselves, the things that are most important, like our mental, emotional, and physical health, for work.”
