The Balance Theory

This episode if for you if you love your to-do lists and get a kick out of ticking them off. Both of us need to check ourselves when it comes to how we actually measure our productivity and zoom out to see if it's actually reflective or helping us measure TRUE productivity. Today I share 8 metrics that we can use beyond the to-do list to check and measure our productivity. Would love to know what you think of this one! Drop me a line on IG and let me know.

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! Check out the free 20min workshop on YouTube here!

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?

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!Connect with Shauna:On InstagramOn her websiteJOIN OUR FREE GROUP CHAT HERE 🎉Until next time, Stay Balanced P.S.
