Navigating your work life and the direction of your career can often be fraught with danger and many unknowns. It can sometimes lead to stress, which most of us can’t help but let trickle into other aspects of our life — with our family, our friends, our spiritual life.

So it often comes down to finding a successful work/life balance that makes sense. Too often, we let ourselves get out of balance between our careers or jobs, and our family life. Once we get out of sync with that balance — if we’ve ever even had it — it can be really difficult to find a path toward a more equal home and work life.

Joyce Marter, LCPC to the rescue!

She’s going to share with us many of her tips and wisdom gained from years of expertise and experience working with people to understand how to find that balance here in this blog, The Psychology of Success in Business. Everyone can learn how to improve this balance, even if you think you’re set in your work or family ways.

Joyce Marter is a psychotherapist and owner of Urban Balance, a counseling private practice with nearly 50 therapists on staff at five locations in Chicagoland. Marter is a blogger, writer and contributer to articles related to psychology, relationships, career and overall wellness.
