🌎 Work–Life Balance Across Cultures

#WorkLifeBalance looks completely different depending on which side of the Atlantic you stand.
In #Germany, it’s almost a philosophy:
clear boundaries, real downtime, weekends that are truly sacred.
In the #USA, life moves faster — energy, opportunity, momentum.
Work and life blend, shift, stretch… and sometimes collide.
Living and working between both cultures has taught me that #balance isn’t a fixed state — it’s a practice.
Some weeks I lean into German structure.
Other weeks I rely on American flexibility.
Most weeks? A mix of both, plus two little kids who don’t care about either system.
And somehow, that blend works.
It’s made me a better #communicator, a more adaptable #entrepreneur and a more present #mom.
Wishing everyone a Friday full of small wins — and a weekend that brings exactly the balance you need.
