TESS FALOTICO LAFAYE

COPY EDITOR QUEENS, NEW YORK

I play every day! Whether I take my dog

to the park in the morning or squeeze in a baking project between meetings, there’s always time for fun if I make it a priority.

2 CHRISTINE HAN

PHOTOGRAPHER BROOKLYN, NEW YORK

I used to be overserious

about work and think my self-worth was defined by achievement. But my toddler daughter teaches me that everything is play, meaning that the opportunity for joy and curiosity is in every moment, and that just being is where it's at. Realizing this makes it easier to feel balanced, no matter what it is I’m doing.

3 TIFFANY J. DAVIS

WRITER AND CONTENT DIRECTOR BROOKLYN, NEW YORK

I’m learning that the more I’m able to stay in

wonder — at work, play, or just life — the more in balance I feel. @prettyshindig tiffanyjdavis.com

4 CORINNA SHAPIRO

SOCIAL MEDIA COORDINATOR AND CONTENT CREATOR

NEW YORK CITY

My job never feels like work, which makes finding balance in this crazy life

a lot easier! Balance to me looks like taking my

horse-size dog to new parks, lighting my favorite

candles, trying new restaurants, ordering in sushi more often than I’d like to admit, and having a

career that I love dearly.

MEDIA SPOKESPERSON

PHOENIX

Always prioritize time outside. My partner and I love to go to the

farmers market on Saturdays with our dog. Finding unique goods and fresh foods makes our workweek easier

and special.
