The Balance Theory

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.

Dave POW Tabain, is a 3 x World Champion Athlete turned Author, Presenter and Systemic Change Specialist who works with Schools, Communities & Companies to inspire positive change from the inside out.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.

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!

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!PS if you want to check out an old Monday Muse that very closely aligns with this episode, head over to Monday Muse 3.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thebalancetheory.
