I am proud of the FAA’s efforts to make quality childcare accessible to our safety professionals who work around the clock to keep the flying public safe.

"When you have balance in your life, work becomes an entirely different experience. There is a passion that moves you to a whole new level of fulfillment and gratitude, and that's when you can do your best, for yourself and for others." —Cara Delevingne

Expecting perpetual perfection in work and life is a recipe for disaster. Balance is hard, give yourself some grace.

We need to make ourselves/our families a priority while enjoying the work we do. Finding that balance is the key to success!

When you can’t schedule children’s fevers, parenthood really magnifies the importance of work life balance

Work and family balance are both keys to happiness and healthy relationships. Even as we take pride in the work we do and we give it our 100% at all time, we have to maintain a healthy balance to spend time with our treasured family.

Work and Family Balance is extremely important to me because it helps me maintain a positive spirit!

You're greatest contributions in life aren't just about your work. They're the way you've fed your soul, lived your life and the way you've impacted the lives of your loved ones.

When you are part of the sandwich generation, sometimes you feel like the wrong type of jelly in the PBJ, but you stick it out cause you realize you’re really the peanut butter. The parents, the kids and your staff and management are depending upon you to keep it together. However, you take care of yourself cause if you don’t stay alive, you’re no good to anyone.

The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.

I am guilty of not taking leave, as are most Americans. Taking vacation time and leave is essential to your personal and professional life. It’s hard for people to wrap their brains around this fact but taking a break from work is integral to your long-term health and productivity. Taking a break from work boosts brainpower, improves sleep, and most importantly creates memories with your loved ones.

The best advice I received as a new federal employee was to strive for a healthy life-work balance. It didn’t fully resonate until later when “life happened.” I didn’t realize the plethora or wide variety of services provided. Onsite child care was a game changer.

If you aren’t showing up for yourself, you compromise your ability to fully show up for your family and your colleagues regardless of desire. It’s not selfish, its selfless. We are deserving of rest. And I appreciate the resources available to us as FAA employees and the ever-growing emphasis on how to achieve and maintain a healthy WorkLife balance.

Life is like flying an airplane. In order to keep your balance, you must keep flying

Striving for success in our careers is important, but never at the cost of neglecting the people we love. Finding a healthy balance between work and family is not only essential for our well-being but also enriches the quality of our achievements.
