‘Work/life balance’ is a phrase that gets thrown about a lot – but what does it really mean? And how far would you be willing to go to achieve that balance in reality? In this episode of Money Talks, Katie Byrne is joined by Anne Sheeran, a ‘de-influencer’ who put her money where her mouth is by taking a pay cut that allowed her to work a four-day week.
Sheeran shares updates on her lifestyle and the challenges posed by her schedule on her TikTok and Instagram accounts. She tells Katie why she'd choose a four-day work week over a luxury seven-day trip with her family.
