Why Work-Life Balance Is A Myth—And How To Define Well-Being Over Time
In Season 3 of HBO Max's cultural phenomenon The White Lotus, three women appear to embody the ideal of 'having it all'—a married celebrity television star, a perfect housewife and an ambitious corporate lawyer. But as the story unfolds, the illusion quickly shatters, revealing a deeper truth as they each search for more: success, as it's been sold to women for decades, often feels like an exhausting, impossible pursuit. The White Lotus also exposes another trap: women judging each other's choices while feeling stifled by their own. Perhaps it's time for 'work-life balance' and 'having it all' to officially join the ranks of retired three-word phrases—because they don't actually work. For anyone. Instead of striving for an impossible equilibrium, shifting toward work-life rhythm—one that adapts to different seasons of life—might be a more realistic path that restores meaningful well-being for driven women. The data can't be ignored. Despite research showing that women are burning out at higher rates than men, the myth of work-life balance persists in the collective consciousness. The dictionary definition assumes professional ambition, personal well-being and caregiving can be neatly divided into equal parts, as if life magically operates on a perfect scale. In reality, women typically shoulder a disproportionate share of caregiving responsibilities, and in the workplace, they're also 48% more likely to volunteer for non-promotable tasks—work crucial to an organization's success but rarely helpful for climbing the corporate ladder. Rather than achieving balance, managing these competing demands often results in women feeling overextended both personally and professionally. As Lybra Clemons, a C-suite tech executive, explains in a Zoom interview, previous generations were sold an externally validated definition of success. 'Generation X grew up thinking…you had to be in constant motion—you have the busy job, you're meeting your friends, it's the Sex and the City life…It was just a tornado of external things validating who I thought I was supposed to be. In order to feel wildly successful, everything had to be chaotic and unattainable. If not, it didn't feel like there was a risk worth having.' Clemons' story underscores a larger problem: work-life balance is both unrealistic and outdated. It also fails to consider how longevity is reshaping the equation for careerspan. In a separate Zoom interview, Susan Alexander, retired CHRO of Sotheby's notes that, 'Young people today will easily live to 100. Instead of cramming everything into a 30- or 40-year career, what does 'having it all' look like over a 100-year lifetime?' In contrast to work-life balance, work-life rhythm offers an adaptable framework that acknowledges the inevitability of priority shifts across different life stages. In an email, Alicia Hare, CEO of Tournesol, outlines the importance of self-definition. "What does 'having it all' look like for me right now? No company is going to define that for us—it's deeply personal,' she explains. Companies also have an opportunity to rethink structures to best support productivity. Despite contributing an estimated $600 billion in unpaid care work annually across the workforce as of 2021, caregivers, who are typically women, often find organizational policies misaligned with their needs. Alexander recalls asking young women navigating the seesaw of work and parenthood how the company could better support them. "I expected big-picture ideas like childcare support. Instead, every single person had created their own 'crazy quilt' of services that worked uniquely for them,' she says. 'They didn't need broad, one-size-fits-all solutions—they needed flexibility.' This might include dedicated caregiving assistance rather than just paid leave, or offering sabbatical opportunities. The key is designing your work-life rhythm to align with the season you're immersed in, rather than forcing an artificial balance that doesn't truly exist. As Hare suggests, 'Women have to say, 'This is what I need,' and sometimes the company needs to say, 'This is what we need.'' Each party must assess what works best overall. Life is a series of shifting priorities—here are practical ways to create fulfillment at every stage. Getty Images getty Start by being intentional about building community. Social connection is critical for life satisfaction. The right community doesn't just support you—it challenges you to ask the right questions. As Hare says, 'Women need spaces to share real stories, not through the lens of 'what society expects' but through 'how are you making it work?' There are a million ways to have it all.' To build meaningful connections that evolve with different life stages, consider cultivating peer network groups to connect with women navigating similar challenges, and stay engaged with community-based networks, such as alumni and affinity groups, that offer long-term, intergenerational contacts beyond the workplace. The old definition of success involved titles, milestones, and accolades. The new definition? A deep sense of alignment. Clemons is passionate about intentionally redefining success for herself. 'Now, it means creating an environment where I feel at peace, where I have choices," she explains. Success is about having what matters most to you at any given moment. At different life stages, those priorities shift. Early in a career, success might mean saying yes to every opportunity, capitalizing on momentum or chasing a promotion. Later, it could mean prioritizing family—recognizing that getting home for bath time matters more than networking at a client dinner. And sometimes, it's about personal well-being, like stepping back to focus on health or mental clarity. An accountant likely isn't striving for balance in April, just as a new parent might not be optimizing for career growth in the newborn phase. Instead of asking, "Can I have it all?" ask, "What do I need most right now?" We've all heard the axiom 'health is wealth.' If your body doesn't hold up, neither will your ambitions. Health isn't just about feeling good today—it's about protecting your ability to engage fully with each season of life. 'In my generation, we didn't think about health in our 20s or 30s,' says Alexander. 'But if I want to play with my grandkids or lift my suitcase into the overhead bin at 80, what am I doing now to make sure I can?' Whether it's turning a call into a walking meeting or pausing for mindful breathing, small actions add up. In addition, truly harness flexible benefits that may be available at your organization. These may include corporate wellness platforms like WellHub that offer a suite of well-being activities, actually using reimbursement dollars if provided or taking full advantage of EAPs that offer caregiving and mental health services. These resources aren't just perks—they're investments in long-term well-being. Just as the White Lotus characters discover the illusion of 'having it all,' we must also recognize and reject the myth of work-life balance. True fulfillment isn't about having everything at once, but about taking a long-term approach—defining success in personally meaningful ways and adapting to life's seasons and shifting priorities. The key is embracing our own rhythms.
