We had the good fortune of connecting with Catalina Rodriguez and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Catalina, how has your perspective on work-life balance evolved over time?
Balancing work and family can be a challenging task, and the balance can change over time due to various factors such as career development, personal circumstances, and changing family priorities. The balance between family and work is a personal and complex issue that varies from person to person depending on their values, priorities, and circumstances. Some people prioritize their family above all else, while others prioritize their career or work goals. There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to balancing family and work, as long as you are able to find a balance that works for you and your loved ones.
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.

It’s wonderful to have a husband like John Duran who give me support and encouragement at all times. His presence and dedication in my life are invaluable and it is important to recognize and thank his contribution to my success.
