As career driven women, one thing that we have learned is that sanity is not possible without making a conscious effort to keep balance in our lives. Stella Valle is a passion for us, but so are our families, our health, and our hobbies. No matter your situation, whether you are raising a family, running a business, moving up in your career, going to school, or all of these things and more, balance is what allows you to make it all work. Our sisters provide us with constant inspiration on staying successful while staying sane. Three of the four Stella Valle sisters are mothers, we all have military backgrounds, two of us own a business, and we all are career focused. With that in mind, we'd love to share some insights into how to balance it all. Kate's advice is to make time for your health. Try working out or meditating. Both are proven to reduce stress and increase happiness. Paige and Ashley have made it a Stella Valle ritual to meditate in the morning thanks to some sisterly encouragement! Lindsay always forces herself to disconnect. No matter what might be on her plate, she makes sure that she has family time with her kids each night. No work and no stress, just time to spend with her children, family, or friends to prioritize the most important things in her life. Ashley is always continuing to educate herself. She has learned that staying at the forefront of topics in her industry makes her a better businesswoman, and educating herself about her interests and hobbies brings her joy. Both of these are equally important! She is loving podcasts right now, because they allow her to learn on the go, while working out, or driving. Paige's advice is to love what you do. It’s a lot easier to find balance when your work and your fun are one in the same. She can sit on her couch and read a fashion magazine as market research. Still haven't found that passion in your job? Follow Ashley's advice and educate yourself in your free time! The more you know, the easier it will be to qualify for a job you love! Make an active plan to prioritize your health, family, education, and passion, and the balancing act might just get a little bit easier.
