Overview
- Stewart told financial influencer Vivian Tu on Friday that “there is no such thing” as work‑life balance and urged listeners to “get that through your thick skulls.”
- She described a regimented day that begins at 4 a.m., includes Pilates or personal training, and finds her at work by 7 a.m., and she says she expects her team to start early as well.
- Stewart said major life events such as marriage or divorce disrupt any attempt at balance and called people who claim to have perfect balance “boring.”
- The remarks were made during a live taping of the Richer Lives by SoFi podcast and were reported across outlets including Fortune, Reuters, Hindustan Times, Page Six and Geo News.
- The comments extend a long‑running public stance from the 85‑year‑old entrepreneur—who rebuilt her brand after a 2004 conviction—and revive debate about whether modern work norms like hybrid schedules can match old‑school, high‑intensity leadership styles.
