The Balance Theory

Join me today as I firstly set you a lockdown challenge (although this is great for anytime too) as well as get to know the beautiful Rachael Finch and chat all things wellness and balance!Today Rach shares what prioritising means and looks like to her, and how COVID has thrown a spanner in the works, but in this, some tips on how to stay on top of your priorities! We also dive into approaching our self care and health like we would any other important appointment (massive for those of you who "don't have time"), processing emotions, giving yourself space, when pushing goes too far and some key things to thing about when making health changes.Lastly, Rach introduces a concept for the first time on the pod called 'bio-individuality' which is an incredible resource when considering our balance!I know you're going to love this episode.

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.I know you're going to love this chat, so send it to someone who will too!

You will be pleasantly surprised at how generous Priscilla is with offering the fine details and honesty about navigating the waters of business & life!We're able to relate so many of today's points - about spotting dissatisfaction, making changes, enjoying the process, making your own rules, the idea of success, following your passion (just to scrape the surface) - to not only business, but more importantly, our unique balance! We also debunk the concept of an overnight success and for anyone looking to start a business, this is the exact kind of hype girl talk you need to set your heart in the right direction!PLUS a sneaky discount code for all balancers applicable storewide on www.bangnbody.com.Connect with her more @bangn.body and @_priscillalouiseLoved this episode?

Today I am rejoined by Hayley Westoby (previously featured on Episode 22), and she catches us up on all she has been up to since we last spoke + her new business!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.Links to Hayley's live workshops: https://hayleywestoby.as.me/personalbrandingConnect with her more @hayleywestoby and @hayleywestobymarketing.Loved this episode?

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. I know you're going to love this episode! Tag us and let us know what your biggest takeaways were. ALSO if you haven't had a chance to leave a review or rating, it would mean to world to us as an Independent podcast and our growing community.Stay Balanced,Erika Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thebalancetheory.

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! Can't wait for you to dive into this chat! If you love this episode, tag myself and Lola @yummololaberry and let us know what your biggest takeaways were, or send this to a loved one who will enjoy it as much as you!
