Contributing to the chaos

This past year I have spent a lot of time talking to female founders, going to panels and networking events and one of the most common pieces of advice that I heard was “You can have it all, but you can’t have it all at once.” The context of this advice was usually in regard to work-life-balance or whatever that is supposed to mean, I honestly think it a hoax, but that’s not the point of this. 

When I heard that advice, I never really thought I would have to think about it as a single 22 year old who is working with freelance clients, working full time, trying to build a brand, training for a full marathon, moving my whole life to a new city, networking in said city, interviewing for new jobs, and trying to maintain some sort of a social life - I truly must have been living in my own universe to think I didn’t need to take that advice..
