Frances shared her inspiring journey, from her early start in the workforce to leading major companies and launching her own successful sunscreen brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let&#8217;s start with your background! Can you share with us your career journey and what you&#8217;re currently up to?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the years, I&#8217;ve worn many hats, from entry-level positions to leadership roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From an early age of 11 I was sweeping hairdresser floors and dropping off pamphlets in letter boxes.&nbsp;At the time I thought it was God awful, but it was part of the journey and I\u2019m glad I have those foundations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the past 20 years I\u2019ve worked in every single department of our company; and I still enjoy heading down the warehouse to pack out orders&nbsp; &#8211; it makes the whole thing real when you can actually see what all the work amounts too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, I&#8217;m the COO of Keune ANZIS (Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia &amp; Singapore) and the Founder of Airyday &#8211; a sunscreen brand I created to change the way people view sunscreen after a small skin cancer scare.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both these companies are two completely different beasts, but I love what I do and am very lucky to have found success like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We&#8217;d love to know what a typical day is like for you. Could you describe a recent workday?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m usually up at 5am and to the gym (not going to lie\u2026 I don\u2019t always make it to the early class). Kids are out the door by 7:45 and I\u2019m at my desk by 8:30. Then the chaos begins.&nbsp; My husband calls it \u201cmany small fires\u201d, and a normal day is a mix of meetings, strategy and operations sessions, and hands-on work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In my experience, the higher you get in a company, the more small fires you\u2019re dousing with water. &nbsp;There&#8217;s a certain thrill in the unpredictability, but it also demands adaptability, willingness to always have contingency plans and a good sense of humour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you define work-life balance for yourself and share with us your approach in maintaining it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I try to keep my weekly schedules routine where they are as much as possible on repeat &amp; compartmentalised. For me routine helps me to know the time I have allocated to something as it allows me some notion of predictability which gives me a feeling knowing I am (mostly) in control.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For me, work-life balance is more about integration than separation. Instead of aiming for a perfect equilibrium, I focus also on making conscious choices that align with my priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some days work takes precedence, and other days it&#8217;s all about the kids. I hate to sound defeatist, but I have never achieved work life balance, so for me it&#8217;s about being present where I am and understanding that balance also needs to be a fluid concept, which I work to try to control with my routines, to ensure things don\u2019t spiral out of control.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Change is constant, and it&#8217;s essential for growth. Have you made any lifestyle changes in the past year to improve your work-life balance?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My husband and I had an argument once about my lack of work\/life balance\u2026. I was doing emails on my phone while being wheeled in for my daughter\u2019s C-section.&nbsp; He was probably right on that one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After kids I&#8217;ve realised that embracing change is vital for personal and professional growth. I&#8217;ve made deliberate lifestyle adjustments and despite my tendencies to fight it, I\u2019ve set clear boundaries between work and personal time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s an ongoing process, I\u2019m constantly tweaking and refining my routines. I find that sometimes even the smallest changes like turning the lights out by 9:30 pm instead of 10pm, have allowed me to perform better during the day as a mum, wife and professional, but like anything, sometimes getting good outcomes is more about mindset than specific actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We&#8217;re always on the lookout for new resources! Can you recommend any books, podcasts, or newsletters that have helped you in your journey towards balance?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Books like <em>How Brands Grow<\/em> and <em>The Long and the Short of It<\/em> have been invaluable to help mould my thinking about long- and short-term effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I also love podcasts.&nbsp; Earphones in and 30-40 minutes of me time; it\u2019s amazing. Check out \u201cThe Lazy Ceo Podcast with Jane Lu\u201d if you\u2019re interested in hearing about all things business, mindset with marketing discussions and ideas from amazing entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before we wrap up, do you have any final words of wisdom or insights on work, life, or balance that you&#8217;d like to share with our readers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the pursuit of balance, it&#8217;s crucial to acknowledge that perfection is a myth. Embrace the messiness of life, make choices that align with your values, and surround yourself with routines, people and systems that support you. And don\u2019t feel guilty about it!&nbsp; I spend way too much of my salary on support systems, but when you\u2019re giving everything, you have every day to kids, businesses, loved ones\u2026 having people &amp; these systems around you is the only way I can do it without burning out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Work and life aren&#8217;t opposing forces, but they also aren\u2019t complementary in most cases. Find joy in the mess, celebrate small victories, and do it in your timeline and not anyone else\u2019s.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"addrop-wrap\" data-id=\"58481\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/interviews\/frances-van-der-velden-founder-of-airyday\/\">&nbsp;&raquo;&nbsp;Read more about: Balancing the Grind with Frances van der Velden, Founder of AIRYDAY &nbsp;&raquo;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":58723,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58722","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interviews"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
