A New Approach To Work-Life Balance | Blessing Leonard | TEDxMaitama Women
In this refreshing and transformative talk, Blessing Leonard unpacks what it truly means to pursue work-life balance in an ever-demanding world.Drawing from her personal experiences as a thriving entrepreneur, young mother, and purpose-driven leader, Blessing challenges the outdated ideals of balance that often leave women feeling overwhelmed, guilty, or stretched thin. Instead, she offers a more authentic, liberating, and intentional approach—one that prioritizes purpose, grace, and alignment over perfection.With deep empathy and striking clarity, Blessing takes us on a journey of redefining success—not as doing it all, but as living a life that reflects your values, your season, and your unique calling. She shares how, in the midst of motherhood, entrepreneurship, and spiritual growth, she found a rhythm that empowered her not just to survive, but to thrive.Today, Blessing Leonard is a guiding light for women around the world—proof that you don’t have to choose between purpose and peace, between ambition and motherhood. Her talk is a compelling invitation to embrace a new paradigm: one where life is not about balancing the impossible, but aligning with what truly matters.
