The Balance Theory

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.Ready to see how many you’re currently engaging in? Make sure you keep a tally of which ones are In your life at the moment as I am going to set you a challenge at the end. Click here for our interview with Olivia Arezzolo - Sleep Expert Click here for our episode on How to know if your circle is blocking your authentic selfUntil next time,Stay BalancedP.S.

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!Until next time,Stay BalancedP.S. Need a fix in-between episodes?

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.If you’ve been loving this content and want to keep seeing it, let us know by dropping a review or rating wherever you’re listening it would mean the world to me and helps us continue to grow the show!Until next time,Stay BalancedP.S.

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!

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!You can connect with Marlo more on LinkedIn, TikTok or Instagram @marlowalkergrover or @g.pump_fitBe sure to send across this episode to someone who you think will enjoy it too! Until next time, Stay Balanced P.S.
