In her 2014 Dartmouth commencement address, Shonda Rhimes emphasized the reality of work-life balance, where success often comes at the cost of personal commitments. Clinical psychologist Janna Koretz expanded on this, stating that true balance is not about feeling good at all times but about integrating work and personal life effectively. She outlines several signs of poor work-life balance, such as a lost identity outside of work and feelings of guilt over personal commitments. Recognizing and addressing these signs can help individuals create a more harmonious life.

A lot of times, [people] can't come up with anything. They feel, 'I don't know who I am,' especially if they've lost their job.
It's not feeling guilty all the time, but guilty about the choices you're making, whether they be personal or professional.
If I am killing it on a Scandal script for work, I am probably missing bath- and storytime at home.
