The Balance Theory

On the episode, The Englihten Co founders Ella & Elle sit down with me to discuss how to find and define your own values, share some personal experience into deeper self reflection (particularly in our post-covid 19 world), and the golden question we all love to learn about - finding your purpose in life. The Enlighten Co's intention is to share inspiration, offer support, create conscious connection and a safe place to be seen, heard and unconditionally loved. Ella is a women's empowerment coach and retreat facilitator. Elle specialises in new age NeuroSelf Care, a combination of modalities that holistically addresses a variety of cognitive issues, including being one of Australia’s leading Havening Techniques Practitioner and Access Consciousness Practitioner. You can find out more about The Enlighten Co over on Instagram! Be sure to send across this episode to someone who you think will enjoy it too! Until next time, Stay Balanced P.S.

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. Share this ep with someone who will love it + if you're loving the content, take a moment and leave us a review/rating on Apple or Spotify!EPISODE LINK - "How to make more time for the things you love" episodeUntil next time,Stay BalancedP.S.

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!

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.Share this ep with someone who will love it + if you're loving the content, take a moment and leave us a review/rating on Apple or Spotify!Until next time,Stay BalancedP.S.

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?Share this ep with someone who will love it + if you're loving the content, take a moment and leave us a review/rating on Apple or Spotify!Until next time,Stay BalancedP.S.
