Is "work-life balance" a realistic goal or a fictional ideal? In this episode of Whatever It Takes, Carli Lloyd and Jenny Taft break down the illusion of the 50/50 split and unpack what it really takes to perform at the highest levels of sport, media, and parenthood. From the invisible costs of peak performance to navigating guilt and managing high-demand seasons, they share personal stories about trade-offs, shifting mindsets from balance to integration, and setting clear boundaries.
