Podcasts about Balance

We often face a decision as coaches: do we dive deep into mindset and beliefs with our clients, or focus on quick, practical strategies for immediate results?      In this episode, I break down how to balance deep dives and quick wins in your coaching practice. I share the strengths and downsides of each strategy, how to use both to your advantage, and specific coaching examples showing how these strategies can be applied in real life to get clients unstuck.                                   For full show notes and transcript, go to: lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/287                Learn more about The Complete Coach here: lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/the-complete-coach                   Follow along over on Instagram: instagram.com/lindsaydotzlaf

Robin Goad joins me to unpack a different kind of failure—one that doesn't show up on balance sheets, but shapes entire lives: the gap between what we're told about success and how life actually works.We started with a simple observation. There are entire industries built around preparing you for short phases of life—college, careers, even pregnancy. But almost nothing prepares you for the next 50–80 years of decisions, trade-offs, and consequences.That gap is where most of the hard lessons live.Robin brings perspective from over 30 years in corporate America, high-performance environments, and leadership roles—combined with the kind of lived experience that only comes from getting things wrong, recalibrating, and seeing the long-term impact of those choices.This isn't a conversation about tactics.It's about the things people say later:“I wish I had known that earlier.”We dig into the lie of “having it all,” why comparison quietly drains people, how validation can become addictive, and the reality that corporate success is often a game with rules no one explicitly teaches you.And maybe most importantly—what gets neglected along the way.TL;DR* You can have many things in life—but not all at the same time* Comparison comes from lack of self-clarity, not lack of success* Validation from work can become addictive—and costly* Corporate success is a game of perception, not just performance* Hard work alone doesn't guarantee visibility or advancement* Most people neglect friendships until they feel the absence* Many life patterns are inherited, not consciously chosenMemorable Lines“You can have it all—just not at the same time.”“Comparison stops when you're confident in who you are.”“Validation from work is a powerful drug.”“Corporate success is a game—and most people don't know the rules.”“People aren't paying attention to your work as much as you think.”GuestRobin Goad — Author of Girl by Birth, Woman by Fire30+ years in corporate leadership, sharing hard-earned lessons on identity, relationships, career navigation, and personal growth through lived experience.Why This MattersMost people don't fail because they didn't work hard enough.They fail because they were operating on incomplete assumptions.They believed:* Hard work would automatically get noticed* Success would feel fulfilling* Balance was something you could achieve all at once* Relationships would maintain themselvesNone of those are reliably true.What actually happens is more subtle.People overinvest in areas that reward them quickly—like work—and underinvest in areas that compound slowly—like relationships, identity, and self-awareness.They chase validation without realizing it.They compare themselves without questioning the metric.They play a game without understanding the rules.And by the time they see it clearly, the cost has already been paid—in time, energy, and sometimes relationships that don't come back.That's why conversations like this matter.Because the goal isn't to avoid mistakes.It's to make them earlier, smaller, and more intentional.And ideally—to learn a few of them from someone who's already lived through the consequences.

You started your business to build a better life. Somewhere along the way, though, the business became your whole life. Sound familiar? Trust me, I've been there, and that's exactly why I wanted to have this conversation. Here's the real question I want you to sit with. What if the reason, you're stuck right now isn't because you're not working hard enough, but because you're working too much the wrong way? Most entrepreneurs are convinced that grinding 24/7 is the path to success. But the data and real life say otherwise. Founders who get seven to eight hours of sleep and train consistently outperform sleep deprived grinders every single time. And according to Owl Labs, 67% of people actually work better in energy driven bursts, not rigid nine to five blocks. So let me say this clearly. Balance isn't soft. It's a performance strategy. The big lie most of us bought into is that hustle harder equals results. It doesn't. Grinding more hours does not equal better results. Optimized energy equals exponential output. You don't need more time. You need more aligned energy. So here's where I want you to start. Audit your last seven days. Write down what you did in 15 minute increments and ask yourself two honest questions. When were you most productive? And when were you completely fried? That exercise alone will show you your peak power windows, and once you know them, everything changes. Now let's talk about sleep, because this one is non-negotiable. Sleep isn't just recovery. It's performance enhancement. Seven to eight hours a night leads to better decision making, sharper creativity, and stronger emotional regulation. Skip it and you're showing up slower, making worse deals, and leading poorly without even realizing it. I personally stack magnesium glycinate before bed, wear blue light blockers after sunset, and keep my room cold and dark right around 65 to 68 degrees. I also keep consistent sleep and wake times even on weekends. Simple stuff, but it works. Win the night and you dominate the day. Third, your body is the hardware and your brain is the software. You have to train both. Exercise boosts cognitive function, lifts your mood through dopamine and serotonin, and builds your resilience under stress. The minimum effective dose I recommend is three to four strength sessions a week, 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day, and one to two high intensity sessions to get your heart rate up. And I'll be straight with you, I haven't been nailing this lately with a newborn at home. But the goal isn't perfection. It's treating your workouts like investor calls. Non-negotiable. Locked in. No excuses. Fourth, stop working in time blocks and start working in energy sprints. The world is shifting from time based work to energy based work, and for good reason. Your brain naturally operates in 90 minute cycles. So here's the framework I use. Lock in for 90 minutes of pure deep work with zero distractions, no social media, no notifications, no context switching. Just you and your three most valuable tasks. Then step away for 10 to 20 minutes. Walk outside, do some breathwork, stretch, get some fresh air. Then come back and go again. Work like a lion, not a cow. Sprint, recover, and repeat. That's how I get more done in 20 hours a week than I used to in 50. Fifth, strategic downtime is not laziness. It's actually one of the most powerful business growth tools you have. Your best ideas don't happen at your desk. They happen in nature, in the shower, on a walk, or while you're completely unplugged doing something you love. I block out a minimum of two to four hours each week for a full digital detox. I schedule think time in my calendar like any other important meeting. And I make it a point to get out into nature as much as possible because when you get quiet, the best ideas come. Replace one hour of low quality, distracted work with one hour of intentional recovery and watch what happens to your output. And sixth, balance isn't accidental. It's engineered. That's why I created the Soul Mapping System, what I call S.O.U.L.M.A.P.P.I.N., which covers 10 key areas of life including optimized health, unplugging digitally, loving relationships, passionate hobbies, and nature connection, among others. Every Sunday evening I score myself from one to five in each category. I look at where I'm crushing it and where I'm slacking, and I adjust my priorities for the week ahead. What gets measured gets mastered. If you want to go deeper on this, grab my book for free over at https://thehappyhustle.com/. Now here's how I put it all together in what I call the Anti-Burnout Productivity Stack. Seven to eight hours of sleep every night. Three to five training sessions a week. Two to four focused deep work sprints daily. Daily and weekly recovery blocks built into your schedule. And a flex calendar that's aligned with your energy, not just your obligations. If something on your calendar doesn't bring you expansive energy, it's draining you. And that drain is costing you income and impact. So here's my challenge to you. Try this for just three days. Sleep seven to eight hours each night. Do one workout or long walk each day. Work only in 90 minute sprints. And take one intentional recovery block daily. Then track your productivity, your mood, and your output. I promise you'll be surprised by what you see. If you want to 10x your output, stop trying to 10x your hours. That equation never works. Instead, 10x your energy, your recovery, and your alignment. Because at the end of the day, balance isn't weakness. It's your unfair advantage.

Welcome to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In today's episode, we dive deep into the economic forces pushing America toward a critical inflection point—one that mirrors the conditions before every major social upheaval in history. Speaker A explores how escalating inequality and unaffordability, paired with runaway deficit spending and inflation, are squeezing the middle class and threatening the fabric of society. Drawing lessons from past crises, revolutions, and uprisings, Speaker A argues that reform is not only necessary but urgent—and that real change comes not from violence or blaming the wealthy, but from understanding economic mechanisms and demanding responsible policy. Get ready for a high-stakes analysis that blends history, economics, and actionable strategies—because in times of turmoil, understanding the real levers of power can make all the difference. 00:00 - Intro 02:02 - Part 1: The Two-Sided Squeeze 07:56 - Part 2: Let the Games Begin 15:31 - Part 3: Balance the Budget or There Will Be Blood 25:27 - Part 4: Moving Forward Well Regardless of Lunatic Politicians What's up, everybody?

Two days into my wife being out of town, I already ate all four of her homemade waffles for breakfast. So much for moderation. That got me thinking about balance — the thing we all say we want but can never actually hold onto. Balance isn't a state. It's a moment. It shows up for a second, and then it's gone, like trying to stand on a balance ball at the gym. Today, I'll make the case that chasing balance might be stealing your best work. There's a better way to live, and it involves letting go. Featured Story When I was a kid, I was on a playground in Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania, right by the Susquehanna River. My brother was bigger than I was, and we were on a seesaw trying to figure out how to balance it perfectly. Scoot forward a little. Scoot back. Tiny adjustments. For one beautiful moment, we nailed it. Both our legs were flying. Pure balance. Then he jumped off. And I crashed straight to the ground. I think about that seesaw every time someone tells me they want their life balanced. Because there are eight billion people out there who are more than happy to jump off and drop you. Important Points Balance isn't a static state you can lock in — it's dynamic and fleeting, and chasing it will keep you frustrated. Imbalance is often where your best work happens — when you're immersed, don't interrupt yourself to even things out. Eight billion people are ready to jump off your teeter-totter — stop expecting the world to stay balanced with you. Memorable Quotes Balance is a myth. Release yourself from the burden of trying to maintain it. Grab it when you can and just move on. I have learned in my own personal life that imbalance is actually better. It's just who I am, and maybe who you are too. If you try to balance yourself out, there are about eight billion people who will jump off and drop you to the ground. Scott's Three-Step Approach First, drop the idea that balance is something you can hold onto forever — it's a moment, not a permanent destination. Then, when you're fully immersed and in the zone, stay there — don't break your own flow just to even out the day. Then, when life knocks you off — and it will — embrace it as the swing, get back when you can, and keep going.

President Donald Trump and Co. have historically claimed to be all about free speech. But maybe Trump only cares about free speech when he likes what's being said. Earlier this month, The Intercept reported that the Department of Justice is taking Reddit to court to force the massive social media platform to unmask one of its users. Why? Because Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been desperately trying to identify the user who said stuff ICE doesn't like.To learn more about what's going on with Reddit and the Justice Department, we spoke with Ryan Devereaux. He's an investigative journalist for the Intercept.And in headlines, FBI Director Kash Patel says he's going to sue The Atlantic for a 'defamatory article', companies that paid Trump's emergency tariffs can start claiming refunds, and Energy Secretary Chris Wright brings more bad news about gas prices.Show Notes: Check out Ryan's piece – https://tinyurl.com/5akbsrww Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Electrolytes don't start and end with tossing some sodium into your water and hoping for the best. Brooke, Sabrina, and Lauren talk about the sodium-potassium balance that helps hydration do its job. They break down why sodium gets all the attention, why potassium is usually the missing piece, and how this balance affects energy, recovery, cramping, performance, and how you feel day to day. They also get into why so many people are under-eating potassium, why more water is not always the answer, how athletes' needs can differ from the general population, and what to watch for if your hydration strategy is falling flat. From salty sweaters to supplement marketing to practical food swaps, this one covers the stuff people usually miss.

Birthday Hotel Stay Sparks a Conversation About Rest and Self-Care Courtney explains she sent Juan to a downtown Phoenix hotel for two nights as a birthday gift because they have two kids she's still sleep training and she wanted him to get time away, though it was only two miles from home. They discuss how taking time for yourself prevents resentment and irritability and how Courtney struggles more with self-care, often insisting she doesn't need breaks. They broaden self-care beyond "bubble baths" to include practical tasks that reduce mental load, and emphasize resting to recover from illness rather than pushing through. Courtney notes activities that help her recharge, including sewing, spending time with her best friend Matt, massages, and especially learning to take naps instead of scrolling on her phone, using a timer to rest.   00:00 Birthday Hotel Getaway 01:00 Why Time Away Matters 01:40 Courtney Struggles With Self Care 02:54 Oxygen Mask Reality Check 03:34 Rest Is Real Self Care 04:04 Choosing Recovery Over Hustle 06:05 Recharge Habits That Work 07:43 Selfish Or Necessary Reset 09:21 Naps Not Doomscrolling 10:41 Wrap Up And Thanks

Ecclesiastes 3:16–22 shifts from confidence in God's ordered seasons to an honest wrestling with injustice and mortality. Solomon observes a world where wrongdoing often prospers and righteousness goes unrewarded, exposing the fragile gap between expectation and reality. Human behavior can slip into something beastlike when power overrides compassion, and the deepest wounds often come from those closest. This tension crescendos in the question of death itself—whether life ends in silence or if something of the human soul endures beyond the grave. From there, the sermon explores competing views of what comes next, showing how beliefs about eternity shape how people live now. While some perspectives lead to despair or detached living, biblical hope anchors itself in God's justice and the promise of resurrection. Solomon models a response of preaching truth to his own heart: though doubt is real, God will ultimately make things right. Through Christ, the promise of resurrection and final judgment transforms fear into courage, freeing people from bitterness and grounding them in hope, culminating in remembrance of that redemption through communion.

In this episode of the Grow A Small Business Podcast, host Troy Trewin interviews Katrina "Kat" High shares her journey from being laid off in the pharma industry to co-founding Artemis Factor, a strategic consulting firm serving pharma and biotech clients. She explains how the business grew from three founders to a team of more than 50 people through bootstrapping and strong industry relationships. Kat highlights the importance of delegation, building the right support systems, and not trying to do everything alone. A unique part of her approach is hiring talented professionals impacted by layoffs and helping rebuild their confidence and careers. She also discusses balancing fast growth, maintaining company culture, and focusing on meaningful impact on employees and patients. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Katrina "Kat" High, the hardest thing in growing a small business is dealing with external factors that you cannot anticipate, because business owners often face unexpected changes in the market, economy, or industry that are outside their control. She emphasized that since you never fully know what challenges are coming, the key is to stay prepared by maintaining strong cash flow, building a reliable team, keeping clear communication with employees, and working closely with advisors so you can handle whatever situation arises. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Katrina "Kat" High shared that one of her recent favorite resources that has helped her is content around money mindset, particularly the "Let Them" concept discussed on the Mel Robbins podcast, which she found useful for handling challenges in her current stage of business. She mentioned that instead of sticking to one all-time favorite book, she prefers reading books and listening to podcasts that match the specific season or challenges she is facing, so the advice feels practical and relevant to her situation at that time. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Katrina "Kat" High recommends tapping into a mix of practical and mindset-focused resources, including project management and AI-focused podcasts to stay current with industry trends, alongside investing podcasts to build broader business awareness. She also highlights the value of continuously learning through audiobooks and physical books depending on your season of business, and mentions mindset-driven content like the The Mel Robbins Podcast as helpful for navigating challenges. Overall, her approach is to consistently expose yourself to diverse learning channels—audio, reading, and niche podcasts—so you can grow both your technical skills and decision-making as a small business owner. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Katrina "Kat" High recommends implementing a strong Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system as a foundational tool to grow a small business, emphasizing that having a centralized way to track client interactions, manage leads, and maintain relationships is critical for sustainable growth. A good CRM helps streamline sales processes, improves communication, and ensures no opportunities fall through the cracks, allowing business owners to stay organized while scaling. She suggests choosing a CRM that fits your business needs and using it consistently, as it becomes a key driver in building long-term client relationships and making smarter, data-informed decisions. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Katrina "Kat" High would tell herself to just get started and not wait for everything to be perfect, because clarity and confidence come from taking action, not overplanning. She emphasizes that you won't be able to map everything out from day one, and that's okay—what you learn along the journey will guide your next steps. Instead of striving for perfection, focus on progress, stay adaptable, and trust that each experience will give you the insight needed to grow and make better decisions as your business evolves.

She breaks down the three layers of rhythm (daily, weekly, and seasonal) and walks through three practical steps to start designing a rhythm that actually fits your life.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREIn this episode of Maximum Lawyer, the host delivers a compelling message inspired by a memorable piece of advice from his trainer: "release the dog." This vivid metaphor encapsulates the idea of tapping into an intensely focused, disciplined, and relentless version of yourself, especially during those crucial "build seasons" in your business. Rather than holding back or pacing yourself too early, the host encourages lawyers to channel their energy and determination, pushing past comfort zones to achieve meaningful progress. He emphasizes that true growth often requires a period of intense commitment, where you set aside the pursuit of perfect work-life balance and instead pour your efforts into building robust systems and leverage within your firm.The episode takes on added urgency in light of the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, which are fundamentally reshaping the legal landscape. The host warns that those who hesitate or cling to old ways of working risk being left behind as technology accelerates change. Now, more than ever, is the time to act decisively and position your practice for long-term success. By embracing this "release the dog" mentality, lawyers can harness the momentum of innovation and set themselves apart in a competitive market.Ultimately, the episode concludes with a bold challenge to its listeners: commit to going all in for the next six to twelve months. Use this time to build something extraordinary, whether it's streamlining your operations, adopting new technologies, or scaling your team. The host's message is clear: extraordinary results require extraordinary effort, and the window of opportunity is now.Highlights1:08 Lawyers, Comfort Zones, and Risk Aversion  2:24 Intensity vs. Burnout: The Importance of Seasons  5:56 Settling for Average and the Cost of Comfort  07:16 MaxLawCon 2026 Announcement  9:24 AI, Imagination, and the New Era of Building  10:30 Consequences of Not Releasing the Dog  12:42 The Lie of Constant Work-Life Balance  13:44 Excuses and Decisions: Time, Balance, and Honesty  15:54 The Challenge: Go All-In for Six to Twelve Months  16:56 Bringing Family Along and Making the Decision 18:01 Easing Into Intensity and Taking Action  Resources:Join the Guild MembershipSubscribe to the Maximum Lawyer Youtube ChannelFollow us on InstagramJoin the Facebook GroupFollow the Facebook PageFollow us on LinkedIn Resources:Join the Guild MembershipSubscribe to the Maximum Lawyer Youtube ChannelFollow us on InstagramJoin the Facebook GroupFollow the Facebook PageFollow us on LinkedIn

Releases on labels such as UV and Siona have delivered multiple chart successes, while wide-ranging support from selectors include Hernan Cattaneo to  Solomun points to broad dancefloor appeal. Beyond the studio, the act has expanded its profile through the ULF (Underground Live Forever) podcast with Paul Thomas, while performances at the Great Pyramids of Giza, Miami Music Week, Amsterdam Dance Event and dates across Europe, Asia and North Africa underline a steadily widening reach. On this Balance Selections mix, the Egypt-born artist showcases a sound that also acts as a snapshot of UV, the label closely tied to his career. Featuring tracks from Patch Park, Alex O'Rion and Paul Arcane, this two hour mix highlights what is so fresh about our scene. @daspharaohofficial Tracklisting & interview: https://balancemusic.com.au/balance-selections-366-das-pharaoh ------------------------------------- Follow: Instagram: www.instagram.com/balance_series Facebook: www.facebook.com/balanceseriesmusic Youtube: www.youtube.com/@balancemusicofficial

SEASON 6 EPI 13A BIG SHOUT OUT TO ADREANA JACKSON FOR HAVING DR. DELVENA ON HER SHOW, "THE BALANCE". "The Brain Love Podcast" is replaying an episode from, "The Balance" hosted by Andreana Jackson.COPIED FROM ADREANA'S BLOG:There's a quiet truth many of us are living with but rarely pause to examine: stress is no longer occasional—it's constant.This conversation brings together two medical experts, Dr. Delvena Thomas, Board-Certified Psychiatrist and Lieutenant Colonel, and Dr. Heather Britton, Board-Certified Neurologist, to explore how stress is not only experienced—but processed, stored, and expressed within the brain and body.What unfolds is both scientific and deeply human.The nervous system is divided into two key parts: the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system, which includes the autonomic system responsible for regulating involuntary functions.The sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight)The parasympathetic nervous system (rest-and-digest)When the body perceives stress, it activates the sympathetic system—releasing hormones like cortisol and adrenaline.“Stress affects the hypothalamus and amygdala… it produces cortisol and adrenaline, leading to rapid heart rate, anxiety, and elevated blood pressure.” — Dr. Heather Britton“Prolonged stress can affect memory, concentration, and even your personality—because it impacts the prefrontal cortex.” — Dr. Heather Britton“Stress in small doses is protective. But prolonged stress tears the body down.” Dr. Delvena Thomas“We've been conditioned to believe constant stress is normal—but it's one of the reasons we see higher rates of hypertension, diabetes, and anxiety.” — Dr. Delvena ThomasOver time, stress can lead to:Anxiety and depressionHigh blood pressureSleep disturbancesCognitive declineThe body, quite literally, was never designed to stay in survival mode.From childhood environments to cultural norms, the way we process stress is often shaped early in life.“You often learn how to manage stress based on how you saw your family handle it.” — Dr. Heather BrittonDr. Thomas expands further, introducing the concept of vicarious trauma—how historical experiences, systemic challenges, and lived environments can contribute to elevated stress levels across generations.This adds an important layer: stress is not always individual—it can be collective.Interrupting Stress in Real TimeUnderstanding stress is one thing. Managing it is another.When asked how to regulate stress in the moment, Dr. Thomas offers a practical and immediate solution: breathing.“You have to break the cycle. Engage your parasympathetic system through breathing—that's what calms the body.” — Dr. Delvena ThomasIt's a reminder that sometimes the most powerful tools are also the simplest.The result? A state of continuous stimulation that can disrupt focus, sleep, and emotional balance.Mindfulness—being present and intentional—becomes increasingly difficult in a world designed for distraction.Dr. Britton highlights several ways to protect cognitive function and reduce the risk of conditions like dementia:Maintain a nutrient-rich diet (Mediterranean-style)Stay physically activeEngage sociallyContinue learning new skills“You have to keep your brain active—learning new skills creates new neural connections.” — Dr. Heather BrittonStress management, once again, plays a central role—reinforcing how interconnected mental and physical health truly are.Living in BalanceAt its core, this episode reflects what The Balance has always been about: awareness.Not eliminating stress—but understanding it.Not avoiding life—but learning how to move through it with intention.Because balance isn't something we find once.It's something we practice—daily.Final ThoughtStress may be inevitable—but living in a constant state of it is not.And sometimes, the most powerful reset begins with something as simple as a breath.

What does it really cost to become great, and are you willing to pay the price? In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius Mirshahzadeh welcomes back NHL legend Chris Pronger for a candid conversation on the mindset, discipline, and adversity behind elite performance. From growing up in small-town Canada to becoming a Stanley Cup champion and Olympic gold medalist, Chris shares the unfiltered truth about what it takes to rise to the top and stay there. At the center of the conversation is his new book, “Earned: The True Cost of Greatness from One of Hockey's Fiercest Competitors,” a powerful blend of memoir, leadership playbook, and hard-earned life lessons. Chris opens up about early career struggles, battling inconsistency, and the turning point that came when he developed mental standards and took full ownership of his performance. He also dives into the importance of resilience, embracing failure, and why adversity is not something to avoid, but a gift to lean into. Beyond the ice, Chris reflects on how family reshaped his perspective, helping him find balance, stay grounded, and ultimately perform at a higher level.
