Creating Transformational Experiences through Retreats with the Founder of SANCTI Georgia St. John-Smith
Episode #177: This week on Balance Your Life podcast I am joined by Georgia St. John-Smith. Georgia built up a successful corporate career, but when she reached a certain level of “success”, she had a “what now?” moment. She had all the money she needed and more, but was experiencing burnout and knew there must be another way. So, she set on a mission to find out how to create a life that balanced her ambition for success in business, alongside living the life of freedom she was craving. It started with a trip to Bali to study the science behind ancient yogic and meditation practices from the Eastern world that have been proven to do just that. Soon after, she traded her fast-paced London lifestyle for the laid-back island of Ibiza. Georgia is the founder of Sancti, a retreats brand that’s developed a unique and transformational experience, inspired by Ibiza, for those who want to be industry leaders. People who set trends rather than following them. Cultivating a collective of high performers who change the way business operates. Say goodbye to burnout and stress that is woven through society, and hello to a new way of working that feeds your soul.
On this episode we talk about moving from London England to the island of Ibiza, leaving her corporate career to pursue her passions, and her yoga teacher training experience. We also discuss what people can expect when they go on a SANCTI retreat, activities and transformations people experience during the retreat, her wellness rituals, and so much more!

How to Stop Over Eating and Binge Eating with Glenn Livingston
Episode #176: This week on Balance Your Life podcast I am joined by Glenn Livingston, Ph.D. Glenn is a veteran psychologist and was the long time CEO of a multi-million-dollar consulting firm which has serviced several Fortune 500 clients in the food industry. You may have seen his (or his company's) previous work, theories, and research in major periodicals like The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Sun Times, The Indiana Star Ledger, The NY Daily News, American Demographics and more. You may also have heard him on ABC, WGN, and/or CBS radio, or UPN TV. Disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and/or food obsessed individuals, Dr. Livingston spent several decades researching the nature of bingeing and overeating via work with his own patients AND a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants. Most important, however, was his own personal journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food.
On this episode we talk about his own personal weight loss journey, how the food industry creates an addiction for us be designing foods we crave but providing no real nutritional value, and how to rewire your brain so you stop overeating and binge eating.
