What if I told you…
balancing work and life could be easy, effortless, & elegant?
Would you believe me? Maybe not. Because right now you are feeling like…
Your To-Do List Never Ends—And Neither Does the Exhaustion
You wake up already behind, rushing through the morning chaos before diving into work. Between meetings, school pickups, dinner, and the never-ending laundry pile, your day is a blur of doing.
By bedtime, you’re too drained to enjoy even a few minutes to yourself. And tomorrow? It all starts again.
You’re Stuck Between Career Goals and Mom Guilt
You love your work. You love your family. But most days, it feels like you're failing at both.
When you're answering emails late at night, you feel guilty for missing another bedtime story. When you're with your kids, you’re distracted, worrying about everything you should be doing at work. The push and pull never stops, and no matter what, it feels like you’re letting someone down.
You've Lost You
Remember when you had time for things that lit you up? Reading for fun, taking that yoga class, or just sitting with a cup of coffee in silence?
Now, between keeping your career on track and making sure your family is taken care of, your own needs have slipped to the bottom of the list. You miss the version of yourself who wasn’t just “Mom” or “Employee.” You crave time for you—but you have no idea where to find it.
I get it, because I’ve been there too.
I’m Dr. Kaylee Hackney and For 10 years now, I've been conducting research on the challenges women face when navigating their work and home lives.
My research has been published in top academic journals such as the Journal of Applied Psychology and Harvard Business Review and featured in media outlets such as Forbes, Psychology Today, and Bloomberg Business Week.
As the oldest of 4, I grew up watching my mom work full-time while pursuing her MBA. This sparked my interest in work-life balance and ultimately inspired me to pursue this field.
I had my son (now 10) while working on my Ph.D. and my daughter (now 6) was born while I was pursuing tenure at a top-tier university. Needless to say, I had to quickly figure out the best strategies to put my research into action.
And I've been fine-tuning my approach ever since.
I'm obsessed with creating a life filled with simplicity, beauty, and joy.
It's not enough to lament the absence of balance in our lives. Instead, we need to take action to create the lives we want to live.
I seriously cannot wait to help you create your ideal work-life balance so that you can thrive in your roles as a mother and employee.
Because here’s what happens when you create a work-life balance you love:
Wake Up Energized, Not Exhausted
Right now, your days start with stress and end in burnout. The mental load never stops, and self-care? That’s a luxury you rarely have time for.
Inside Elegant Balance Academy, you’ll learn how to structure your days so that you run your schedule—not the other way around. Say goodbye to constant overwhelm and hello to mornings where you wake up refreshed, feeling in control of your time, your energy, and your life.
Be Present with the People Who Matter Most
Ever find yourself half-listening to your kids while mentally running through tomorrow’s work tasks? Or scrolling emails during date night, even though you promised yourself you wouldn’t?
You want to be fully present with your family, but the juggling act makes it feel impossible. Elegant Balance Academy gives you the tools to set boundaries, reclaim your time, and truly enjoy those moments—without guilt, distraction, or the nagging feeling that you should be doing something else.
Achieve More at Work—Without Working More
Balancing career and family shouldn’t mean sacrificing your goals. Yet right now, every day feels like a battle between being a great mom and staying on top of your job.
With the strategies inside Elegant Balance Academy, you’ll work smarter, not harder—so you can stay productive, meet deadlines, and actually enjoy your career without feeling like you’re failing at home.
Here’s a sneak peek into the Elegant Balance Academy curriculum…

If you’re like most people, you’ve likely heard some inaccurate information about work-life balance. In this module, we will dispel a few myths about work-life balance. We can’t start creating a better work-life balance before we truly understand what it is we’re trying to create. From there, I’ll introduce the 3E Framework, which serves as the foundation for everything I teach in this course. The 3 E’s are the major steps you need to take in order to create an elegantly balanced life.

Careful evaluation is the best place to start when it comes to creating a work-life balance you love. Inside this module, we will dig deep into what’s currently working for you and what’s not. Together, we’ll take time to define your personal values and life dreams so that we can set effective goals that will serve as a road map for creating a work-life balance you love.
