| Text | The phrase "balancing act," in this podcast, means when one is trying to do two opposite things at the same time, or trying to please two people with different interests at the same time: "Buying a house is a balancing act between how much you want to spend and how big of a house you'd like to have." The phrase "work-life balance" means how well a person divides his or her time between working, family, friends, and other interests: "Having a good work-life balance is very important to me, so I don't want to work more than 40 hours per week."
