Finding Balance: Work and Life for The Trades in BC
Life in the trades takes grit—long shifts, out-of-town jobs, and the heavy weight of providing for your family. But when work starts to crowd out everything else, it’s easy to forget who and what you’re really working for. In this post, Nimble Counselling’s Olivia Robillard explores the realities of balance in the trades, why it matters, and how counselling (including online options) can help tradespeople in BC protect both their work and their lives outside of it.
