What if balancing work and life could be easy, effortless, & elegant?
let me ask you, are you...
Overwhelmed by your never ending to-do list?
Mentally & physically exhausted by the end of the day?
Feeling trapped between work & family?
Drowning in a sea of working mom guilt?
Living life in reaction to everyone around you?
Disappointed because this was not how you envisioned your life?
Craving more time to pursue your passions?
Ready to create a work-life balance you love?
For the woman who is overwhelmed, tired, and struggling to juggle work & life.
You can design a life you love.
A life where work, family, leisure, & rest exist harmoniously.
A life built on a foundation of your personal values.
A life filled with purpose.
In other words, an elegantly balanced life.
So, what does a well-balanced life look like to you?
Do you want to have more time to spend with your family & friends?
Do you want to have more energy to tackle your responsibilities at work and at home?
Do you crave a deeper connection with your spouse? One that includes date nights and an equitable division of labor at home?
Do you wish you could be more fully present with your children? Making beautiful memories together?
Do you want to be more productive at work? Achieving the career goals you set for yourself without sacrificing your family?
Do you wish you had more time to pursue your passions, explore new places, taste new foods, read new books?
Do you dream of letting go of perfectionism and working mom guilt? Opening up more space for joy in this precious life?
Do you desire a life filled with simplicity, beauty, and joy?
There is no wrong answer...
You only get this one beautiful life & you get to choose how you want to design it.
You can be productive without working 60+ hour weeks.
You can succeed at work without trying to squeeze your life into your coworker's definition of work-life balance.
You can be a present, loving mother and still pursue your career ambitions.
You can navigate work & life without all the overwhelm, busyness, exhaustion, stress, guilt, and burnout.
You can only lead a well-balanced life if you take the time to define what it looks like to you.
You see, work-life balance looks differently for everyone.
There is no gold standard. It is not one-size-fits-all.
Because it's about life and life is messy.
We all play different roles - wife, mother, employee, sister, friend, etc.
We are each in different life stages - single, just-married, young kids, empty-nester.
We all have different values that will dictate where we want to spend our valuable resources.
We each have different goals we want to achieve and dreams we want to fulfill.
Simply put... You cannot create something that you've yet to dream up.
Hello Beautiful!
I’m Dr. Kaylee Hackney.
I'm delighted to meet you!
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 8) while working on my Ph.D. and my daughter (now 4) 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.
Hope to see you inside!
xoxo,
Kaylee
A woman with clarity around what matters most to her is a force to be reckoned with.
Because she knows where to spend her time, energy, and money.
Because she refuses to give in to the pressure to be perfect.
Because she fiercely protects her boundaries.
Because she refuses to feel guilty about pursuing her career and loving her family at the same time.
Because she cares for and replenishes herself daily.
It's not enough to think about balance.
It's not enough to lament the absence of balance.
You have to create it.
This is why I created the Elegant Balance Academy.

Think you've tried it all before? Think again.
Students agree, the Elegant Balance 3E framework offers a unique systematic approach to creating a balanced life tailored to your specific needs, desires, and dreams.
In order to move forward, you must understand your current work-life balance. What’s working? What’s not working? You also have to take a step back and evaluate what truly matters to you. An artist does not begin painting a masterpiece without carefully planning out the desired end result. In this step, I teach you how to carefully evaluate and reflect on your life and the life you want to live.
There's likely a lot that needs eliminated from your life before you can experience the balance you desire. Schedules cluttered with tasks. Homes cluttered with stuff. Distractions keeping you from focusing and being productive. Perfectionism and guilt holding you back from experiencing joy. In this step, I teach you how to eliminate anything in your life that does not align with your personal values or help move you forward toward your life goals.
Elevate means to raise or lift something up to a more impressive level. You aren't a woman willing to settle for the status-quo. In this step, I teach you how to elevate different aspects of your life - the way you manage your time, the way you work and plan, the way you ask for help, the way you care for yourself.
In this signature program, I provide a systematic approach to prioritizing what is most important to you so that you can create a life you love to live.
