2021 VR Women’s Summit: An Honest Look at Work-Life Balance with Kerrie Racicot-Baitx, Brittany Blackman, Ashley Kubiszyn, Tyann Marcink, and moderated by Koryn Okey

Our commitments are endless: never-ending inboxes, a barrage of phone calls, family obligations, soccer games, a dog that always needs to be walked, and relationships that need our attention. No matter which form this takes, it’s difficult to balance it all with just 24 hours in a day. But if you can reach the promised land of work/life balance, euphoria awaits in both your personal and professional lives. Now more than ever, it’s important to hear what work/life balance really means, how it changes throughout your life/career, and understand what can be done to set manageable boundaries. Join this interactive panel discussion to understand the challenges these professionals have faced and how they have evaluated, re-evaluated, and ultimately prioritized what’s most important in their lives both personally and professionally. We won’t pretend to have all the answers, but through a candid discussion, we can discover practical takeaways from one another to help us find more balance.

Panel:
Kerrie Racicot-Baitx, Property Manager, Tahoe Truckee Vacation Properties
Brittany Blackman, Owner, Breath Easy Rentals
Ashley Kubiszyn, CEO, River Ridge Rentals
Tyann Marcink, Touch Stay, Branson Family Retreats, Missouri Haus, VR Mastered
