Welcome to the eighteenth episode of the Steem Sister Show!
Your hosts are @coruscate and @maryjaney. We are two sisters using the Steem blockchain to chat about our life experiences and provide a little entertainment value to the Steemit Community.
Topic of this Episode – Work Life Balance
Mary and I had a lot of fun discussing our perspectives on work/life balance. I think our age difference played into a few of the questions as well, which kept things really interesting!
Here are the questions covered this week:
Can focusing on balance negatively impact your career?
Audience question from @fitrianizar – Do you set your time and schedule out every activity?
What do you do when you start feeling out of balance?
How do you define the term work/life balance?
Audience question from @cheekah – Let’s say your job is so demanding that it is negatively impacting your relationship. Do you change your job for the sake of your relationship?
How many days or hours would you ideally work in a week to feel like you have a good work/life balance?
Does your current job seem to value work/life balance?
Tell us a story of when an employer didn’t value your work/life balance?
What is the Steem Sister Show All About?
We aim to bring more “non-crypto” related content to the Steem Blockchain. Although there is nothing wrong with this kind of content (@corsucate even posts on crypto related material sometimes) – we want to help create a better onboarding experience for new users. We talk a lot about attracting new users to the platform – but if the trending page is filled with crypto posts and flagging wars, they are likely to lose interest quickly.
We hope that by creating content that is more similar to what they are used to seeing on other social media sites – they will feel more excited about being here and creating content of their own!
How Does It Work?
We pick a different topic every episode, and then throw totally random questions about that topic in a hat and go back and forth. We always have a mix of our own questions and some audience questions. Our rule is that we cannot tell each other our answers before filming! So you guys are getting our raw, unfiltered reactions here.
Every episode we announce the next week’s topic so people can submit questions.
Want to win some SBD??
If we chose to answer your question in the next show… we will send you 2 SBD! Now that’s some easy money.
Next Week’s Topic : What Guys Want to Know About Girls
We are both SO excited for the next topic! We will be discussing "What Guys Want to Know about Girls". We think this episode will be full of some fun and juicy moments!
So to the guys out there... ask us your questions! Ladies - feel free to get creative with your questions too. You could even ask one of the guys in your life and submit that as a question.
We are also going to be doing some extra research for this episode and reach out the guys in our lives to see what they want to know.
Listener questions always end up being the best ones - so thank you in advance to everyone who submits one!
That’s a Wrap!
We hope you enjoyed watching this episode on work/life balance! This is something that is very top of mind for both of us. Mary just accepted her first management position and is navigating what that will look like and I'm in the middle of building the life I want, while still working a corporate job.
If you have any thoughts or questions that came up from our "Work Life Balance" episode – feel free to shoot them in the comments below.

Lmao, I liked when you got impressed by your own question xD
At this moment of my life a need a salaried job too, I mean it's great to have your own schedule and be your own boss, but sometimes I feel like working 1 month in a normal job because I'm not disciplined and end up watching videos on Youtube, or playing video games instead of working. It would be really nice that you give advises about it someday as you seem to be very disciplined :)
Next week topic is gonna be fun, I will make two questions because I couldn't make up my mind for just one.
What would be the first thing you do if you were men for 1 day?
What is the main topic girls usually talk about in a girls meeting? (very curious about this one)
Oooh those are both great questions - we might have to answer both of them!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed this episode and that you continue to be a regular member of the SSS community! :) Also, thanks for letting me know there is interest for a post on staying disciplined and on task! I have a lot to say on that topic - so thanks for the post inspiration!
@coruscate - did you work for the chain that starts with an s and ends with an s?
Hahah witty! Nope, I worked for a local coffee shop chain. They have about 15 stores.
Thank god there are good baristas who accept cypto in my town!
Woah!! That's so cool!!!
But sounds like starbucks. Worked for them in Germany. High demands even as a side Job as Student.
There threw me out because i could Not prepare hot chocolate :D - and of course "lack of commitment"
first
First comment? Haha yep. Wondering where all my people at. It’s weird to not have any comments yet! Maybe everyone’s out enjoying their Friday afternoon. 😉
Did you work for the chain. I wish you hard luck
This is absolutely fantastic. You guys are so smart. I can't wait to see the next episode as it's a lot controversial! As for me, I wanna know all she wants to know about me too. Girls can be so inquisitive that they want to know even all you typed while they were away. If she wants to know my past, I wanna know hers to and her future! Nice one put together girls, kudos to you @coruscate. Wow, it's so indeed lucky of @maryjane and I'm gonna miss you all while enjoying your vacation and off for a week. Have a nice time sweet girls ♥♥♥
Thanks @tobah! I'm glad you enjoyed our show. :)
It's my pleasure
It's my pleasure!
Hello sisters
Very nice show , have my subscribe
Here i am after a long while of absence. This week has been something else and i just had to check out your show again. Great pick for next week. We sure would have many great laughs...very interesting topic we have here.
Funny enough, i have two questions a guy asked me recently.
First, why are girls so emotional about almost everything in life? I can tell you this argument went on for almost an hour. I refused to accept defeat.
Second, why don't girls like other girls? Why do they prefer male best friends? I am guilty of this one. My best friends are male, i still have a few girlfriends though.
Lucky @Maryjaney! I wish i could be like her. Work can be so tiring sometimes.
I hope she enjoys her stay.
You two stay cool!
