Abolishing Balance Together

Now what?

You've read the book, but I don't want it to end here for you.

Saying no to balance and yes to blending isn't just about creating personal fulfillment for yourself (although I truly hope it brings you that). It's about saying no and yes for women (and men) everywhere—anyone who's stuck in a life they didn't create, serving other people's agendas. I honestly believe that blending can change the world.

The bullying and harassment of women isn't going away. I think it needs to die out, but in the meantime we need to create a much bigger tribe. Together we can stamp out unacceptable and unethical behavior that impacts women and men. I'm not just talking about tangible harassment; I'm talking about corporate power plays, unhealthy competition, and the culture that says we need to keep climbing the ladder at the expense of our health and families.

Some people will be happy to keep you boxed in, serving them. They'll come out fighting against blending. But we need to take care of ourselves first.

Leave any situation that brings you down. Leave any situation where the people in power don't appreciate that blending is the most productive way to work and the best way to build culture. Leave any situation where your superiors or colleagues seek control and alienate you.

I've had experiences that would make most people quit, but we must change the model. For the self-employed, change will come easier. If you are employed, you might need to make bolder moves if your employee doesn't agree and wants control. And for the businesses that want to explore blending in their workplace, let's start the conversation.

You are not alone. You have our support.

At Loehrblend we welcome honest, no ego, no B.S. sharing of what's working and what's not. Let's support each other to achieve the life we want based on each of our unique values. Absolutely no judgment.

This is a global, virtual movement. Join one of our online courses to work through the blending exercises in a group, and find support from the community while you transition into the life you've designed.

Have the courage to think big and play big and boldly share this with others. Let me go first. Here is my dream: I started a new business called the Dollar Beauty Tribe. It's a solution for all women who have paid money and bought products they've been disappointed with. Instead, I've reversed the model. We allow you to try products (a full sized product – not just a sample) before you buy them. I curate the best of the best products that relate to skincare, haircare, nutrition and wellness, ensuring they are ALL Vegan, Cruelty-Free and Ethical.

Why? Because together we have the purchasing power to abolish animal testing, demand high-efficacy products and positively impact the world via our Buy1Give1 commitment with every product sold. Imagine the impact we could collectively make by changing our beauty buying behaviours.

Lastly, if you got value from this book, we invite you to pay it forward to someone you believe would also get value. Think of anyone you know who is a perfect fit for our Work-Life Blenders community, and buy them a copy. Every time you do, we'll donate to Buy1Give1 to provide a business loans to women in developing countries.

This isn't a book you read, get inspired and put away. If you want to take action it's going to take time, and you need support. Let's abolish the word Balance together and become Work-Life Blenders.
