#27 The Work Life Lie
The Work Life Lie - Why what you've been sold about balance isn't true
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the myth of work-life balance, and being honest about what it really looks like when you’re growing a business and trying to have a life at the same time.
After a full-on month, I found myself reflecting on the guilt, pressure, and comparison that creeps in when things feel out of sync. We’re sold a dream online, that success should be quick, easy, and beautifully balanced. But real life doesn’t work like that.
So I’m sharing what’s true for me right now, what balance really means, and why it’s time to let go of the one-size-fits-all version of success.
If you’ve been feeling like you’re getting it wrong, like you’re working too much (or not enough), or like balance is just another thing to achieve, then this one’s for you.
It's time to let go of the work life lie, stop chasing someone else’s version of success, and start creating one that actually works for us.
If this landed for you, I’d love for you to share it with someone who needs to hear it.

Hey, I’m Shelley Bosworth, International Business and Mindset Coach, keynote speaker and founder of The Se Is Courageous Collective
Beginning my career in the heart of the UK’s corporate world, I spent 25 years climbing the ranks across retail and hospitality, from Harrods to Starbucks to Haven Caravan Parks. Along the way, cultivating an ability to bridge the gap between strategy and people, leading large teams through transformation and growth.
In late 2019, I left the corporate world to launch her coaching business, going all in on a vision to empower others, just as the world began facing an unprecedented global pandemic. Since then I’ve worked with businesses and individuals worldwide, empowering hundreds to break through self-doubt, overcome imposter syndrome, and take bold courageous action toward their goals.
Known for my high-energy, authentic, and no-nonsense approach, I like tithing I inspire others to take courageous action and embrace the mindset shifts that make success possible. Life is too short not to go for what you want, my own story is proof of that and she I can’t wait to help you write yours.
My mission is to help women like you stop overthinking, start taking bold action, and finally go after the life and business you really want.
If you’re ready to stop second-guessing and start building real momentum—you’re in the right place.
