The Balance Theory: Recent Episodes
Erika De Pellegrin
This podcast is made for ambitious women who feel like they are constantly stuck having to choose between “work” and “life”. If you never have time for the things you really want to be doing, constantly find your self care or down time is rushed and unproductive (or non-existent) and regularly experience guilt and that feeling you should be doing more, I know exactly how you feel. It’s time to redefine what we’ve told ourselves about life balance and get inspired to own a better and more sustainable way to achieve it. And yes, that means ditching the work-life balance formula.
Tune in to be inspired by episodes with guests including Kelsey Wells, Steph Claire Smith, Laura Henshaw, Leah Itsines, Sarah Davidson, Katie Williams and more.
If you’re ready to take balance back into your own hands, then this podcast is for you.

It's challenge o'clock! Our focus for the next 21 days? Becoming your best self through finding habits that are going to create the most balance and impact in your daily life.
The reason I wanted to throw you a challenge with varied habits, is because we often get stuck in the same routines and rarely stop to consider habits that are no longer serving us or experiment with habits that could make a world of difference in our day, week, and ultimately life!
The idea isn’t to adopt EVERY single thing you try, it’s to notice what really creates the most impact on your energy and overall enjoyment of life and consider making space for that in your routine - after all, these habits will be best felt after consistent use (now we are just finding them)!

This podcast is dedicated to anyone like me, who struggles from time to time with their self worth in moments where you are not “productive”, producing “out put” etc to remind you that the way we measure our worth can be so far from the things that actually show us our worth.
Today I remind us both of 6 signs we are doing better than we think we are to help us ZOOM out and not get so caught up in the single measurable metrics we always tend to focus on!

Strong women 📢 THIS ONE'S FOR YOU!! In an era and time where as a woman, I am privileged with the opportunities I have, I can't help but reflect on how business + career puts us in a very masculine, 'go go' type energy... I wondered whether finding outlets or ways to embrace my more flowy, feminine side, aka my 'softer' side, can actually be a strength - and decided, yes it could!
Today's about reframing how we look at 'softness'. To me it's not weak or doesn't mean we lose ourselves, but rather a strength and opportunitiy to get in touch with ourselves in a deeper way - what do you think? Let me know after watching this!!

Today I am joined by Dr Shauna Shapiro - best-selling author, clinical psychologist and internationally recognized expert in mindfulness and self-compassion.
There was no better topic to end our interviews this year other than mindfulness, intention setting and self compassion. Many of you like me may have found self-compassion really cringy or awkward, which is exactly why I wanted to get Dr Shauna on the show to take us through the practical impact of it (in the science we trust), to debunk many of the things I originally thought towards it. Get ready to hear some practical tips you can start applying today to boost not only self compassion, but your all round mindfulness which are going to be two essential tools to help you thrive in 2024!
We also chat through perfectionism (you know I'm guilty of and working on this) and tips for us perfectionists in goal setting for the new year in a healthy way! She shares her traumatic and dark experiences that completely shaped her life and mindset, time in monasteries, scientific findings that completely blew me out of the water and lastly but so important, INTENTIONS and INTENTION SETTING!!
This one is jam packed - don't miss it!

In this episode I share some honest thoughts about my struggle doing nothing and the internal beliefs that have honestly blocked me from embracing that time. Ahead of the festive season/holidays this is so important because how many times have you gotten to the holidays and either (a) gotten sick or (b) been in such a whirlwind of busyness that by the time you're on break, you're too exhausted to enjoy anything - not this year!
I'll share some conscious tips I'm going to start to try and embrace now from early December to enjoy my holidays in a more intentional way PLUS I share some new found revelations I had with the impact of alcohol on my intuition.
Great to listen to get you primed and intention pre-holiday season!

Balancers, if growth is what you're here for, you NEED to find a way to embrace or push through the discomfort that comes with being out of your comfort zone.
Often we feel this and take that as a sign we are failing, or not ready to start, or that we should doubt ourselves BUT most of the time none of these are true. It's more that we are experiencing the unknown, something for the first time. Today I'm going to explore with you, how to push past the discomfort, use anchors to ground us and share a nice exercise I use to remind me of my WHY + DIRECTION!
(02:01) Step 1 Accepting discomfort
(04:27) Step 2 the future you exercise

WARNING: You will never look at self love the same after listening to this episode.
Self love - it’s thrown around like a bit of a BUZZ word, but how do we actually do it? And what does it actually mean?
If you don't already realise that this can be your super power, you're in for a hella episode! Today I debunk the spas, facials & 'self-care' activities often painted as the sweet picture of self love, and get to the core & essence of what it truly means. PLUS I will share with you how to adopt it as a perspective, a mindset, so it's not something you need to allocate time in your week to do, like a chore on your list.
Reflective Qs to determine if you have self love
- Do I speak kindly to myself and treat myself with compassion and respect?
- Do I set boundaries and advocate for my own needs and desires?
- Do I take care of my physical, emotional, and mental well-being?
- Do I forgive myself for my mistakes and imperfections?
- Do I embrace my unique qualities and strengths?
- Do I allow myself to feel a full range of emotions, including happiness, sadness, anger, and joy?
- Do I have a positive relationship with my body and practice self-acceptance?
- Do I make time for self-care and prioritize my own well-being?
Journal Prompts to assess your level of Self Love at the end of the day
- How did I speak to myself today? Was it kind and compassionate, or did I engage in self-criticism or negative self-talk?
- Did I set boundaries and advocate for my own needs and desires today? If not, what can I do differently tomorrow?
- How did I take care of my physical, emotional, and mental well-being today? What can I do to prioritize self-care tomorrow?
- What mistakes or imperfections did I forgive myself for today? How did this help me feel more loving towards myself?
- What unique qualities or strengths did I embrace today? How did this make me feel?
- How did I allow myself to feel and express a full range of emotions today? What emotions did I experience, and how did I cope with them?
- How did I feel about my body today? What self-care practices can I engage in to improve my relationship with my body?
- What self-care activities did I do today? How did they make me feel?

This feeling is powerful, it sets our course for the year, but unfortunately, doesn’t last the whole year.

If you find it hard to meditate, or make time for it, then you're going to ABSOLUTELY love this chat today.
Today I am joined by Michael Amster, a physician and faculty member at the Touro School of Medicine. He has twenty years of experience as a pain management specialist, been a student of meditation for over thirty years and is a certified yoga teacher. Today we dive into a recent discovery, something that is going to change the way you look at mindfulness for 2023 and beyond. Michael is going to explain the power of the A.W.E method including the science that backs it up, the three levels of consciousness, and how to achieve powerful results for both our physical and mental health in under 1 minute a day.
A.W.E's initiation
At the height of the pandemic, two trial groups embarked on a study through UC Berkeley to test a new method for “micro-dosing mindfulness.” One group was comprised of frontline healthcare workers; the other consisted of patients at a local medical center, as well as any of their friends and family who wished to participate. Almost immediately, both groups reported significant improvement in symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain—results that bore out over the course of the study and beyond. Jake Eagle, LPC and Michael Amster, MD, knew that they were on to something.

She also discusses the importance of making mindfulness a part of our daily lives, and the role of honesty in our journey towards self-discovery.

Today's episode:
You are going to be so surprised how many things you do out of habit EVERY day that make you less productive. I know because I do them too! BUT as we know, awareness is key and I never leave you hanging with just the items, but also tips on how to actually stop doing them and change your day to day behaviour to get the most out of your work & time. I would highly recommend selecting one habit at a time to work on, before adopting them all at once. Bear this in mind as you listen in - maybe rank them from most important to least important and work backwards so (a) you actually stick to the changes and (b) you don't get overwhelmed doing so.

Today's episode:
“If you quit on the process, you are quitting on the result” ... “Never Give Up” ... “Only Quitters Quit”.... There are so many sayings with the same basic idea, that quitting is a bad thing. This idea is instilled in us from the youngest age and even as we grow up, considered common place. To me however, winners do not quit or give up because the task is difficult or because they’re lazy, they quit because they are mature enough or self aware enough to acknowledge that something is no longer worth their time or energy.
So today I'm going to reframe quitting to "letting go" and offer you some perspective shifts so you can finally let go of whatever is no longer serving you, that maybe you've been clinging on to out of fear of judgement.

Today's episode:
Soooo many of you have popped into my DMs being like 'hey, we always hear you and the guests mention TYPE A personality, what's that all about'? I figured an episode dedicated to explaining this + the other 4 types (B, C, D & X) would be extremely useful. Knowing what type you are is important for increased self awareness plus once you wrap your head around the types, it really increases your interpersonal skills because you can understand others better too!

Today's episode:
Work is one of those things we need for a sense of fulfilment, either personal/growth or financial, yet it can often be the things that destroys our overall sense of being ... that is, if we don't know how to manage and have a balanced relationship with it. Today I have dedicated the last of our Balance Rules series to this area because I feel there is SO much potential in our capabilities when we have a healthy and well defined relationship with work.
Does this mean you won't work any overtime? No. Does this mean you won't work hard? No! It's about getting to the core of what you require from a job and knowing when it is taking you away from the other areas of your life. A key skill which I feel, is the make or break for our sense of balance.

Today we are joined by Dr. Don Davis PhD, MBA who shares insights into his new book 'Overcommitted: How to transform your habits and achieve the life you desire'.
As you probably guessed, points of today's chat are about the signs of us overcommitting in different areas of our life (yes even those you feel are good/healthy, we can be overcommitted in), how we know when we need to shake our habits, the concept of 'quiet quitting' for those working on things outside of their 9-5 and why he doesn't believe we need January 1st for a reset. He in fact, accomplishes this reset on a daily basis and teaches us just how to do this today!
Dr. Don Davis is an author, coach and consultant who joins us from the US today for a very insightful chat. You can learn more about him on his website or access the book on Amazon here.

Today’s guest Nora, is a certified Self-Empowerment Coach, on a mission to support individuals in showing up unapologetically and having more fulfilling relationships. I instantly connected with her mission when I came across it and so I am very excited to have Nora on the show today to talk about how we can fully embody who we are, her career shift and transition through feeling lost, how we can overcome the inevitable fear that creeps up with doing new things and how to better understand our ego.
She also drops some golden nuggets on how to reframe rejection as misalignment and also how to extend self love & compassion in moments of negative energy,

Today I want to share some of the worst habits a lot of us have, some I still slip into, that are detrimental to our life balance. Some of these are going to sound basic, but if it’s so simple, why do we still keep doing them? The first half relate to our physical health and the second half relate to our mental health. Woven in these are some that also cross over with relationships and work life which is always always underpinned by our health.

This episode marks 100 GUEST EPISODES! I am so excited to celebrate with a truly special guest, the wonderful CEO and co-founder of Australian health & wellness app, Keep it Cleaner (KIC). Her mission is to help others embrace self-acceptance and make sustainable changes towards a healthier, happier lifestyle. Having Laura back on the show for a one on one was an absolute treat.

She shares how she uses cleaning as therapy, what it's like being a female CEO, how using emotion can be a strength in business, and lastly but importantly, a deep dive into Laura's experience with imposter syndrome and her tips for beating it.

Today’s episode is inspired by a conversation I’ve had with one of you Balancers. Their painpoint? Dealing with the inevitable sacrifices that come with change. Even when we know and feel a change is necessary, the fall out or collateral damage from change, can be really hard to work through. Having undertaken a LOT of change this year myself, sacrificing my identity, career trajectory, money and so on, are all things I have felt.
Today I share my thoughts on what these sacrifices mean on our journey and path and how to deal with them PLUS a cool morning activity you can do every day (under 1 min) to keep your why/purpose front and centre.
To check out our dedicated episode on Comparison you can find it here. Do share this episode with someone that comes to mind when I say change and sacrifice!

Today I am rejoined by the beautiful and talented Iris Smit who is the founder and brains behind The Quick Flick brand. Today I get the chance to ask Iris about all the incredible things that have happened since we last had her on the show (the link to our previous interview is here).
Wrapped in this is a convo around what working while travelling taught her and why its something that is NOT for either of us, how to schedule in and prioritise self care so it's not forgotten about, how she enjoys and embraces time alone and how she found self growth in her business journey. She also shares the process of launching in Coles, how she faces online criticism and lastly, the best business advice you'll hear all week!
Be sure to connect with Iris on IG @irisjade and on TikTok.

Lately I’ve been speaking with a lot of people who are either quite new on the self growth journey OR are constantly looking for ways to do better for themselves. I have been on my self discovery journey for I’d say around 3 years now and there are somethings I originally thought would “improve” or “get better” which I’ve now learned are just a part of the self growth journey.
I think it’s a really useful discussion to flag these things especially for those of you navigating this for the first time and really feeling quite alone.

This is the literal dilemma I had that prompted me to start this podcast... that is, thriving in busyness and loving being busy, but also feeling guilty for it. So I sat down and reframed what being busy meant, how it made me feel and how to ensure I didn't get swept up in the "busyness" to a point where I neglected my wellness, my wellbeing. And today, I take you exactly through the process I undertook to arrive in a place where I feel confident defending my time & forgetting feeling guilty for how I'm spending it.
At times we need to go deeper in our health, or our work, and we don't need to feel guilty or let others make us feel guilty for it. So get ready to OWN it! Let's Balance together.

Today I am joined by Marlo Grover, the founder of G Pump and woman on a mission to spread joyful vibes into our exercise regimes! Among some of the incredible topics we dive into today, my favourites include why exercise shouldn't be a chore and how to fix a 'meh' relationship with it, how to enjoy the process and take the pressure of the results, and importantly why something doesn't have to be hard for it to be effective.
We also chat about the meaning of self care everyday, rather than using it as a go-to when sh*t hits the fan. Another personal fav of both of ours is using Disney movies as a self care activity but you'll need to tune in to hear our favourites!

Today I share a replay of a very early episode that I have recently listened back to to help me reframe my feelings with failure. In this episode, I share my thoughts on "beginnings" and their close but common link to "failing". I think the fear of failing, and the emotions associated with 'new beginnings' often prevent people from getting started A LOT more than they should. I share some insights into how we can reframe our understanding and connection to these feelings, and kick beginnings in the butt!

Today I want to chat about something I have recently felt which initially, felt extremely alien and foreign to me, and that is the feeling of being lost. At first, these feelings were uncomfortable for me. I resisted them and felt like I should have my sh*t sorted, but this resistance only pushed me further into the view that this feeling of being lost was bad and I needed a way out ASAP.
As time has gone on and as I’ve sat with all the feels that come from this lostness, I am starting to view this as more of a reset or pivot in my life. So, today you’re going to hear 3 reasons why feeling lost is not a bad place to be and how it can truly be a special and eye opening moment in your life.

Negative feedback is something we’re all familiar with - whether it be in a professional capacity or via a personal relationship. It can come as constructive criticism or abrupt commentary, either way, it impacts us. I don’t know about you, but in the moment when receiving negative feedback, I usually plunge into emotions like embarrassed, shy, disappointed, guilty or any other yucky type of emotion.
And so, today I want to empower you with some insights into this reaction and how we can look at feedback objectively, remove the emotion, and in the process understand something deeper about ourselves!

If you're anything like me and feel like you're a bit of a perfectionist, then you're probably not foreign to the idea of having expectations on yourself across multiple areas of your life (especially work/career ones)! Today I want to chat about where these come from and explore when they can be good, and motivate us, but also when they can be bad and steer us away from what we genuinely want.
I'll also dive deep into how to work out what success means to you so that you can make sure your expectations are aligned to what you value.

On this episode we chat with Lisa Cox — disability advocate, author, business consultant and media professional. Lisa aims to improve representation of the disabled community throughout mainstream pop culture by leading conversations about the important of representation and guiding business on how they can assist in inclusion.

Today I want to use this BTS to dive into the relationship category of balance, which is not one I’ve jumped into much on a solo episode before. When we have ties or relationships that are ‘toxic’ or have an element where something just feels off about them, they can really impinge on our balance, and critically, the way we show up as ourselves.
So, in todays’ episode you’re going to hear my thoughts on how to choose relationships that are best for you, which ones to avoid to protect your balance and when you might be blocking yourself from the right people! To help you take action on these principles, you'll find some journal or meditation prompts below - use them however you like to work through the takeaways from today's ep - enjoy!
JOURNAL PROMPTS:
What value do I want from a relationship/friendship with ______? *Can also be done as a hypothetical if you’re looking for new friends or a new partner i.e. What value do I want from a friendship?
What have some past relationships taught be about what I DO NOT want in a relationship/friendship? What values can I see I hold as a result of these?
Are my current relationships/friendships allowing me to be my most authentic self?
If there are some that are not, why am I holding on to them? Is there other value that can justify my time/energy being involved in this relationship?
Can I identify any limiting beliefs I hold about what I deserve or am worthy of that could be influencing my decision to maintain these ‘toxic’ relationships? If yes, can I rewrite them to attract what I do deserve in my life?

Today I want to dive into something I’ve spoken about before in parts but not to this degree of specificity before and that is, boundaries I feel are non-negotiable if we want to protect and have a healthy mindset.
I’m going to focus on three key boundaries I feel we should all set to protect our connection to self and these are Boundaries with - people who’s voices overpower your own, topics that trigger you (or topics with certain people), work boundaries. Tune in to learn more!

This episode is inspired by a conversation I’ve had over and over again with many Balancers, and it circles around a core questions or yearning of “what is my calling or purpose?” Today we are going to dive deep into how you can find your life purpose, meaningfully start to engage in it and be sure the path you’re on right now is the one for you!
This episode is aimed to give you some inspiration on where to start and how to get more connected to it, even if you’re someone who is time poor! PLUS I introduce a recent concept I'm loving called your blended self and how it can help you be more authentically you!

A huge focus of today's ep is JUDGEMENT & negative thoughts about other people. How frustrating is it when you can feel yourself being hung up or stuck on a situation, person or comment!?
The truth is, when we feel this way, we are responding to something that clashes with our own fundamental values or metric for success/"the right way" of doing things. SO this means that there's an opportunity each time we feel this way, to get introspective and learn something about ourselves!

We explore the two different types of procrastination and give you the info you need to be able to identify when it's "good" or "bad" procrastination.

If you've been down by procrastination for too long now and want to kick it in the butt, then this is the episode for you!
Or take it one step further if it's standing in the way of you and your goals, and sign up to our Goal Setting Workshop where you learn how to get a clear path and do something small everyday to make your goals a reality!

Ultimately we chat about owning your choices as well as identifying limiting beliefs to make sure you aren't standing in your own way.

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I feel scrambled in the new year, partially because I am so clouded from the one gone by. Where do I start with goals? Where am I even at with what I achieved last year? This time around, I want to hit January 1st with the ground running, and I bet you do too!
Today you will be able to pause, reflect, and give yourself the opportunity to take what you've learned, acknowledge your achievements and reframe what you actually want before heading into the new year. The beauty in doing this, is being able to acknowledge where you are on your journey, and get clear on what you want from the next chapter. AND I've put together a free eBook to take you through each of these exercises so you can do this and revisit in your own time. PLUS there is a whole BONUS section on creating momentum for next year which I haven't gone into on today's podcast.
Get your FREE copy of our eBook here: www.thebalancetheory.com
Just like exercise or meditation is a proactive step in future proofing your health, so too is reflecting on the year gone by. By doing this before NYE, you are giving yourself as much mental bandwidth, space and time to really launch into the 1st January with clarity and intention.
Until next time,
Stay Balanced.

This week I talk all about CHOICE. Choosing to change is a choice, but so is staying the same. There’s a power in accepting this. You may feel like you’re in a job just because you need it. Or you have friendships just because you’re in that group but you really wouldn’t otherwise.Choosing to stay in that job or spend time with that friendship group is a choice. And here’s why it matters to own this.
If you're feeling helpless or stuck then this episode is just what you need to reframe and take back control of your life. I also do a deep dive into the power of gratitude and have also discussed this on a previous episode, in Monday Muse 9 which you can find here.

We end on a chat about what balance with diet means, how we can use it as a form of self care and how to make a conscious decision to go unconscious with food. HONESTLY there was so much in today's chat, I can't write it all here, just listen and enjoy!

Today I wanted to go deep into something that has been personally frustrating me lately, especially being in lockdown, and something I have spoken to many of you about in my IG DMs. It’s around this idea that we feel guilt when we haven’t utilised our time to the max, or in other words been productive. In a usual routine, non lockdown, Do you ever get that feeling at the end of your day where you just haven’t been that productive? Maybe you haven’t crossed off what you wanted from your todo list, or you actually have done some stuff and feel completely deflated for not having done enough?
Well I bet if you feel that sometimes, now during lockdown it’s probably hitting that nerve way harder in a different but somehow familiar way. One thing I’ve personally been struggling with is this idea that I have more time than ever right now, which should give me more time to slow down and relax, but I often feel the complete opposite? Join me as I explore why this is happening, productivity guilt, time anxiety and what you can do about it!

We chat biggest fitness mistakes, the fallacy of motivation, active mindfulness, and staying true to ourselves. Sam also takes me somewhere not many like to venture - that is, that there is no perfect balance.

Today I am joined by Georgina Claxton, a Physiotherapist with a special interest in Women’s Health, Clinical Pilates Instructor and Sport Scientist. Her purpose is to make a difference and inspire others to be their most authentic selves.
What I most enjoyed about today's chat was the way Georgina took some complex & professional concepts, and made them so disgestable for us and our balance - we speak tapping into one's purpose, what homeostasis has to do with balance, avoiding adrenal fatigue, how to actually take things off your plate and why being in our optimal thriving state is balance (and how to get there).
We also did a deep dive into why you are more than just your title, i..e what you do isn't who you are which I LOVE, and is so important to grasp (especially in the context of our balance). We ended on a chat about what role body image has to play in your balance and Georgina is open with her own struggles and journey in this area.

Think you don't need a personal brand because you don't have a business? THINK AGAIN! We do a deep dive into what personal branding can teach us about our own balance, as well as helping us define our values and core pillars. This personal web can teach you more than you think including about your non negotiables, dealing with your inner critic and much more.
Speaking of non-negotiables, we're quick to define what they are in relationships, but what about our work? And how about those limiting beliefs that get in the way of life sometimes? Stay tuned as we chat about all of this in great depth and show how you can reframe limiting beliefs to empowering ones.

This week I chat to UK author and anthropologist Simon Roberts, about 'the power of not thinking'. This title is NOT what you think! When I picked up the book, I expected tips and tricks on how to shut my mind off, BUT what I got was so much more and a very unique take on our bodies, and now I can share that with you all!
Simon and I chat about embodies knowledge and how the way we feel something is more profound than just seeing or hearing it. We question the concept of mind over matter/mind first, and talk about putting the body first as an idea! There are some things, like your intuition, that your body just feels and knows to be true, but you can't explain it! Why don't we put more emphasis on that? I think we're in a culture that prioritises the brain and often forgets to give credit to our bodies too!
Simon shares how this concept is not only important for our balance, but also empathy, business strategy decisions and more! We also cover the idea of Body Storming.

Today Dave shares his story from a farm boy who wasn't meant to do all the things, to breaking through and learning how to rewire what he deserves. We chat about his thoughts on why you were never actually imbalanced (you'll love this point), why your worth is not conditional and your output not a measure of this, the issue with labels and expectations and navigating the push and pull between want and need.
Through the power of stories, Dave is able to turn judgement into authenticity, guilt into introspection and external validation into empowerment. I love everything about this conversation!

Today I chat with the wonderful Lola Berry, who is a TV presenter, best selling author, nutritionist, yoga teacher and podcast host of “Fearlessly Failing with Lola Berry”. Lola's work in redefining failure and being humble all the way through shapes today's conversation.
She shares a public failure she had, the lessons it taught her and we dive into why the bounce back from failure is more important than the "failure" itself. We also speak about the art of detaching and why you cannot be fully present if you're attached - I LOVE this concept and I know you will too! She also shares a very curious self care activity which I adore (and need to try myself) and a little about setting and executing goals!

Hi Balancers, Erika back here for another Monday Muse episode. Today is all about CHANGE! Change is an INEVITABLE part of your balance - so if you're someone who finds they usually resist change, this is an ep especially for you my friend!
Join me as I share a very recent change that I've undergone that inspired me to consider the uncomfortableness we experience in change and how we can better equip ourselves to combat this in the future. I take you through a really useful framework that explains the steps of change and might help you better understand where you get stuck, what parts your find difficult or just act as a lovely reflection on how you've successfully navigated change in the past.
As it is an inevitable part of life, carefully considering our relationship with it, brings us that one step closer to our idea of balance. I also chat about why instant gratification can ruin great change and my thoughts on persistence and execution.
Share this with someone who will love it too!
Until next time,
Stay Balanced!

Today I am joined by the incredible Jessica Sepel, clinical nutritionist, 3 x best-selling health author, and founder of the JSHealth brand, App and Vitamins.
I am honoured to have Jess on today as I have been following her IG account since she was just blogging her fav recipes and it's been inspiring watching her journey. She shares her story from this moment, to now, and everything in between including how her relationship with food, her body and "healthiness" has changed. The thing I love most is Jess' approach that balance & health comes down to kindness - to yourself and your body.
Included in this is being able to say no and setting boundaries - something that's a non-negotiable for Jess these days. Tune in to find out why she deletes her social media apps every night & which macronutrient she thinks is super underrated!
I can't wait for you to tune into this episode as I learnt so much & was able to get to know Jess in a really personal way.
You can check out more @jshealth, @jshealthvitamins and her website.

This Episode is a MUST for all Self Development Junkies!
Today I am honoured to share with you all a chat with my nearest and dearest sister, Sonia De Pelle! She is also the Creative Founder of 'De Pelle' creative strategy branding agency. BEFORE you read on, I must impress that even if you aren't a business owner or see the need for "brands" in your personal or professional life, you will still get a LOT out of this ep so don't skim past it!
Today we talk a lot about the meaning of authenticity and introspection - two key elements to self development. The reason I am chatting to Sonia about this today is because her branding process is highly unique, personal and detailed to a point where elements of it can be used for any self scrutiny exercise. Need to find out what your values are? What makes you happy? What you enjoy? What energy you want to omit? Etc! All of these can be looked at much like one can when developing a brand. It may even open your eyes to the intentions of brands and the thought that goes into creating something bigger than ones self.
A little bit different this week but nonetheless valuable. The key to understanding yourself and the self care you engage with, is questioning how you go about things. You can download our free resource here for a little guide!

Today I am joined by the wonderful Sarah Davidson - founder of Matcha Maiden, Matcha Mylkbar & host of the Seize The Yay podcast. I have a been a big fan of Sarah's for some time now and I love her even more after this interview (total fan girl moment for me)!
Today we chat about how Sarah got to where she is today, the happy accidents & sliding doors moment that have landed her in many unforeseen but amazing situations as well as how the entire Seize The Yay concept came to be. In and amongst this, a chat about the danger zone a lot of us are in - the zone where we won't really question what we are doing, unless we are actively unhappy. She refers to this as the autopilot circuit and gives us her tips on how to break this and find true purpose - even if we don't change a thing. We also chat about Seizing Your NAY which is equally as important as the yay, finding your why, rewiring failures as movement forwards and her tips on meaningful self care.
We end with a chat about the importance of PLAY & why dreaming big needs to be small enough so you can actually start.
I can't wait for you to tune into this one - I know you will love it as much as me!
Check out all Sarah's up to @spoonful_of_sarah

Well this was fun! I got to interview my partner and share his wealth of knowledge about the human body & zest for life all in one! To commemorate our birthday month, I'm sharing 3 of the closest people in my circle with you all as double episodes this June, starting with my soul mate!
Today Ang and I chat about lots of things from his professional journey into chiropractic, to owning a business, the lessons along the way & why pain is your body's language and way of protecting you. This was a bomb that helped me years ago deal with niggles and rewire my understanding of the human body. More into life topics, we chat about why failures basically don't exist and how to rewire your perception of them, the importance of taking action over planning (most times) and how to back yourself.
I also share some insight into why Ang was such a pivotal part of this podcast coming to life and stay tuned for the end where we share some exclusive info not everyone may know about either of us!
If you want to connect with Ang more you can find him @angcampanellachiro or visit the clinic by booking here.
I hope you enjoy getting to know my soul mate! It is truly a blessing to be able to share him with you all. Share this with someone who will love it too!

Can procrastination be healthy? Do you notice how your energy shifts around certain people or places? Are you not too confident putting up a boundary if you haven’t already done so?
Today I'm joined by my first guest ever, Nancy Sokarno, or some of you may know her a Psych With Sokz! We chat all things from what to expect from therapy (I feel like no one shares this information?), and how this can help you being preventative in terms of your mental health - so many of us are quick to do this for our bodies by exercising, so it's time to spread the word on doing the same for our minds 🧠
Further, what Monsters Zinc has to do with your energy and why you should care, noticing how things and situations make us feel, and finding what lights you up. There's a little vent about procrastination, when this is a curse, and actually identifying when it can be a really a healthy thing! We finish with a shout out to all people pleasers (me included), and dive deep into setting boundaries - after all, if you're living to please someone else, your boundaries are probably very low or non existent!
You can connect with Nancy more @psychwithsokz or by visiting her website here.

A body scan is my current obsession - the fastest way I've found to get out of my head, and into my body. Ten minutes is that perfect sweet spot where it's not too short, but not too long you can't make time for it. Use this to check in with yourself, have a break, reconnect with your intuition or just to let go! I love using on my commutes (all except when I'm driving) or when I want to drift into a deep sleep.
I'm joined by Tom Sullivan who some of you will recognises from Episode 29, who I've meditated with before and absolutely love the way he teaches this practice. You can connect with Tom more at @astillmind.
NOT YOUR FIRST TIME HERE? Skip ahead to 3:25 to go past the intro and straight into the meditation! You can use this multiple times - it never gets old! Each time we sit & practice, is a new opportunity to connect with ourselves in a new way.

🎉🎉 IT'S OUR BIRTHDAY! We're One Year old! To celebrate this month, we are bringing you double episodes & some amazing guided meditations 🎉🎉
Today I wanted to go back full circle to where it all began - what does balance mean for you? It's important to revisit this to ensure where we are heading, still aligns with what we want. How many times do you set yourself a goal to then never re-visit, edit or even delete it? If your perspective or ideal of balance shifts, then your goals need to be re-jigged as well. We can't be too protective or fixed with something we wrote in the past.
Join me as we reassess your balance right now, look at how you might want that to be different and as a result, how that impacts goals you may have set for yourself. SPEAKING OF goals, have you made any progress to yours yet? If not, it might be because (a) your idea of balance has shifted as so they need to be revisited or (b) you aren't setting your boundaries correctly.
I'll finish today's pod talking about boundaries, what they're not and how to stick to them!
If you love today's pod, share the birthday love and send it to a friend who will also love it! As always, a review/rating left on apple podcast, is a slice earned in my heart .... really! ❤️

No chat about Balance would be complete without a discussion on the balance in our society. Today I am joined by Crazy Biatch Asians podcast host's Sharon & Juna who chat with me all things racism, awareness and what the current landscape in Australia looks like.
We can always do better! If we want to find balance, we need to acknowledge ourselves as moving parts of a coherent society. Tune in as we discuss casual and general racism, at which point it becomes insidious, how to get proper information, the role of politics and things you can do to help! The girls also give tips on how to work through any prejudices you have as well as share first hand experience with this present part of our society. I also ask them their thoughts on whether posting on social media is enough and loved their opinion on this, so I can't wait for you to dive in!

If you're anything like me, you love learning about how you can bolster your day to day experience through the foods you eat. Today, Advanced Sports Dietitian and strategist at My Muscle Chef, Ryan Pinto, sits down and chats to me about all things food & diet.
We chat about why fat loss diets actually work and tips for starting one, how to create awareness round food (beyond the carb-protein-fat breakdown), using foods (yes not tablets) as supplements and the best go to snacks so you don't fall off your healthy food train. Further we dove into the best foods to enhance sleep & energy as well as the infamous intermittent fasting diet and if you're predisposed to be 'good' at it. Wrapped in this too is eating alongside a menstrual cycle & tips if you have flatlined in your results and need some advice.

Today I am joined by Courtney Mangan, owner of multiple successful businesses, including the host of one of my favourite podcasts, "She was the fire" 🔥. Productivity queen shares her journey from living a comfortable, risk free life, when at 30, her world was flipped upside down when she was told that she had skin cancer. She shares her story of honouring the skin you’re in, as well as sharing her knowledge and tips on living your most productive life.
We dive into how to show up as yourself, breaking free from the judgement of others (and not waiting for something dire to do so), tips for juggling a lot and how to set (and reset) goals. Another topic we spoke about which I adore is communication styles and why these are critical not only for your relationships, but for your self care - I mean, do you know how you like to be communicated with? This and much more explored in today's pod.

Ever felt that shame or guilt when you aren't getting enough done, or maybe when you're doing too much, you're guilty of not taking enough care of yourself? There seems to be a constant issue on both ends of the spectrum - that is, hustle versus self care.
I was sick of the two feeling like polar opposites and constantly at the expense of the other, so this episode is my attempt to make sense of the hustle/self care spectrum, find where you sit on it, and help you own your own definitions of hard work. Once we have self awareness as to what hard work means to us, we can firstly, accept and own where we are, and two, pass less judgement towards others in their own ideals of business and hard work.
I know that hustling is a badge of honour many of us like to wear, but how do we make it healthy, our own, and sustainable? That is what we will dive deep into together on today's pod!

From being orphaned at 14, to grappling with mental illness and chronic pain, to then moving overseas and building her soul-aligned life + business empowering other woman, Efia has learned how to dream big and not settle for what's within her realms of probability. She is a Mindset & Manifestation Coach, NLP practitioner and host of ‘The Manifest Edit Podcast’.
Today we chat about how to manifest an extraordinary life, what the missing piece to the law of attraction really is, why we need the ups and downs of life, why you need to be EXTREMELY careful thinking you need to be positive all the time, and on that note, why happiness shouldn't be your sole focus goal. Another amazing thing we discuss which is super close to my heart, is why we need to give "negative" emotions air time, rather than shun them or feel guilt/shame around them. All of this & more to get you in the right head space to set intentions & goals, or just surrender to your world!
Her mission is to empower and teach ambitious women how to manifest their EXTRAORDINARY life by overcoming their limiting beliefs, finding and living their soul’s purpose and connecting to their intuition. To connect with Efia more, you can find her on IG @efiasulter_, on her website effytalkslife.com or head over to her podcast anchor.fm/themanifestedit.

Have you ever considered the "WHY" behind your relationship with food? 🍴How does your lifestyle accomodate or take away from this purpose? And have you ever thought about a contingency plan when dieting?
Today I chat with the lovely Leah Itsines, a self-taught Aussie cook with a mission to help men, women and children all over the world change their view on food and health. Leah shares how BARE has steered away from traditional calorie counting, and uses more holistic forms of measuring progress. We also chat about why when dieting, you need to think of what you can ADD to your diet, rather than what you can take away - a concept not many of us would've considered, especially when it comes to weight loss. She also shares with us her thoughts on daily habits & rituals, and you will be pleasantly surprised at her responses (it isn't your usual morning routine).

Also, if you haven’t really thought about how or why a practice of it might feature in your life, then you're also going to get a lot out of todays pod!

We start diving deep into Tommy's moment of truth - where he was forced away from a career he thought he would pursue, followed by an accident which landed him in jail, to a completely revised outlook on life and purpose. This time gave him the opportunity to do the inner work and develop habits that still help him in tough moments today.
We also deliberate over why men's mental health is less spoken about, the benefits of cold exposure (especially if you're someone who hates the cold), meditation and all things recovery. Infrared or traditional sauna? When to do cold exposure? What's a float and why should you do it? This and more answered from the recovery man himself.

We've made it! The final month of 2020! There is no better way to wrap this year up and send it off, than with a BANG! Today I take you through a personal exercise I have curated to help me in my own reflection and assessment of my year. This can be used at any stage to help you process and understand your priorities moving forward. When I say BANG, I not only mean fireworks and all, but I am talking about B for Balance, A for Appreciation, N for Novelty and G for Growth - all key things I believe are essential to any contemplation of the year gone by, and that to come.
I hope you enjoy the final muse of 2020! Share this with someone who will benefit from it. If you like what you're hearing, tell me! I greatly appreciate + love connecting with you all.
Until next time, stay balanced!

Today I chat with Carla Bignasca, who most of you probably know as Bigsy (spoiler alert), from many prominent Radio & Media platforms. We do a deep dive into life's rollercoaster cycles, from tea hacks and her mum's weird habits, to how a drunk night eating pizza resulted in her becoming a PT.
Within this fun & light-hearted chat, we cover career shifting, going from burn out to what you love, finding a tribe, yoyo dieting, body image and breaking up with friends. SO MUCH covered today, I can't wait for you to listen! Just remember, no one has their sh*t together, and it's ok. You can reach out to Carla or get to know her more @carlabignasca.

Beyond the shaped molecule, DNA can tell us SO much more about our genetic tendencies, existence and capabilities. Alessandra Edwards is a performance expert and keynote speaker who’s obsessed with one question: how far can we stretch our genetic limit so we can achieve our maximum potential. She specialises in high-performance, and explains why it's a sexy area to talk about.
Join our conversation today as we question what DNA can tell us, how we can find it out, the different genetic types and what that means for you and my favourite, if it's written in your code, does that mean you can't change it?
Be prepared to be mind blown, especially if you've never heard of using your genes/DNA as a basis for performance. You can find out more at https://alessandraedwards.com and also download her '30 tips to increase energy'. Also stay tuned for her book titled "The DNA of Performance" which is available for pre-sale on her website.

This mini segment today goes into Kronos v Kairos time and why it's important. We're all run by the clock, there's no doubt about it. But what if we could (on the daily) engage in human time, away from clocks and calendars? You know those moments where time feels like it goes on forever? How good would it feel to have moments like that in each and every single day.
Tune in to hear my thoughts on how we might be able to do this! I've kept it short and sweet this week. Enjoy!

Today we follow on from last week's discussion on all things about Brain Balance! We continue discussing Scott's 5 stress erasers, how to optimise breaks at work, if rituals and habits are essential, and why we are retiring too early! This is just as juicy & info packed as the first episode! My favourite part was the understanding that we can continuously grow our brain - even as we get old! We have no choice about the shrinking part, but there are certainly things we can do to sustain it long term.
If you loved this chat, you will really enjoy Scott's book 'Activate Your Brain' available on Amazon. I would strongly recommend picking yourself up a copy! Learn more at http://scotthalford.com.

Do we really only use 10% of our brains? Why do we always feel like we need to be in control of everything (I'm talking to you back seat drivers!) Is our intelligence confined to the size of our brain? These and SO much more answered in today's pod.
Tune in as writer and long-time professional speaker and educator of businesspeople worldwide, Scott Halford enlightens us all the way from Colorado on all things regarding our key Balance Organ - the brain. His experience is based on brain-based behavioural science, emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and influence. Today we talk about how to leverage off our desire for control, how universal wisdom comes to be, why coffee is your friend and the impacts of stress today, and long term.
Speaking of stress, Scott shares his 5 stress erasers which are easy to adopt and could change your life experience! I'd love to hear if you give these a go. If you love this episode, then you need to get your hands on Scott's book 'Activate Your Brain' which is actually how I came across Scott's work in the first place. It is super easy to digest and so interesting!

You know when it's that time of the month and you couldn't think of anything worse than exercising? Listen in as Health Coach and Exercise Physiologist Sarah Liz King discusses how we can and should optimise our training regime alongside the phases of our menstrual cycle. We also chat about PCOS & Hypothalamic Amenorrhea - how can you know which one you have and what are the differences in terms of your training and diet? Oh and what about the pill, can that really help or hinder menstrual issues? Sarah shares all her insight and opinion on today's pod.
Lastly we do a deep dive into intuitive eating - what does this buzz word actually mean and how can we become intuitive eaters? I loved this chat so much and learned a whole bunch about my body and biology.
I would strongly recommend checking out Sarah's own podcast "Holistic Health Radio" for a deeper dive into these topic areas.

So, if you're the common denominator amongst all of your bad relationships, you either need to change your mindset or get real and finally spring clean the relationship room (eek yes I know you probably don't want to hear it)! Sometimes this isn’t always as easy as it sounds, especially when it’s family or colleagues, so tune in for my thoughts on these tricky areas.
I’ll also muse a little on the concept of control and whether this is causing the “negativity” you perceive. Let’s channel your thoughts and emotions around “bad” relationships … after all, they’re JUST as toxic as “bad” thoughts, feelings, foods & drink. Listen and find out where you stand!
Disclaimer: I am not. Psychologist or a professional in coaching relationships and this is purely my own personal advice & thoughts (which I’m hoping you will resonate with to some degree!)

Exercise from this week:
- Take a few DEEP breaths
- Think of people who light you up
- Two points of gratitude linked to why they light you up (GO DEEP!)
- Now that you're calm & positive, re-think of a negative relationship and consider if there are any aspects of point 3 that you think can potentially relate to this one. If the answer is no, then you know what you need to do.

Today I share my thoughts on "beginnings" and their close but common link to "failing". I think the fear of failing, and the emotions associated with 'new beginnings' often prevent people from getting started A LOT more than they should. I share some insights into how we can reframe our understanding and connection to these feelings, and kick beginnings in the butt!
