  • Anger Is the New Black: The Midlife Meltdown That Might Just Save You
    Ever wondered why that headache appears right when you finally sit down after a hectic day? Or why your back pain intensifies during stressful periods despite no physical injury? The answer lies in the profound mind-body connection that many of us have lost touch with.Dr. Evette Rose joins us from Bali to unravel this mysterious relationship between our emotions and physical wellbeing. She explains how many women become "numb from the neck down," disconnected from bodily sensations until pain or illness forces awareness. This dissociation isn't random—it's often a coping mechanism developed early in life that creates the illusion we can handle more stress than we actually can.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when exploring how midlife transitions amplify this dynamic. As hormones shift in our forties, emotions we've successfully suppressed for decades—particularly anger—suddenly demand attention. Rather than fearing this anger, Dr. Rose offers practical strategies for channelling it constructively through physical movement, transforming what might be viewed as a crisis into an opportunity for profound reawakening.Perhaps most revealing is Dr. Rose's insight into why so many women take excessive responsibility for others' emotions and wellbeing. This pattern, often rooted in childhood experiences, creates a perfect storm when combined with bodily disconnection, leading to burnout and psychosomatic illness. The path forward? Self-compassion—approaching ourselves with the same kindness we've readily offered others.Whether you're navigating midlife changes, experiencing unexplained physical symptoms, or simply feeling overwhelmed by responsibility, this conversation offers both validation and practical wisdom. Your body isn't betraying you—it's communicating. Maybe it's time we started listening.Ready to transform your relationship with your body and emotions?

  • Why the Mental Load Is Killing Women’s Careers (and What Can Be Done About It)
    There's a silent career killer lurking in your daily life, consuming your energy and holding you back professionally—the mental load. That invisible project manager in your head with 50,000 tabs open is doing far more damage than you realize.The mental load creates a devastating double burden where you're essentially working two full-time jobs—one that pays and another where you labor endlessly without compensation. Research shows that up to 80% of women report home responsibilities prevent them from performing their best professionally. This burden often intensifies at crucial career advancement stages, creating a perfect storm where professional growth opportunities coincide with increased family demands from both children's activities and aging parents' needs.The consequences are profound. Talented professionals decline promotions, avoid new projects, and step back from advancement opportunities because they're already overwhelmed. As you maintain lists for everyone except yourself, your health, joy, friendships, and peace of mind become casualties. This self-neglect breeds resentment that manifests as impatience, irritability, and emotional exhaustion—until you inevitably reach a breaking point.Breaking free starts with understanding that household responsibilities exist in never-ending cycles without true completion points. Once you accept this reality, you can step away without guilt and prioritize yourself. Learn to fully delegate tasks—including the conceptualizing and planning aspects, not just execution—and genuinely let go. Allow natural consequences to occur and accept that "done" is good enough, even when it doesn't match your standards.Your career shouldn't have to be sacrificed on the altar of mental overload. Take the first step today by identifying what you can drop, delegate, or dial back without guilt. What could you accomplish professionally if you weren't carrying everyone else's mental load?To view the Transcript from this week's episode, visit our Balance & Beyond Podcast webpage: https://www.balanceinstitute.com/podcast/2025/114Thank you for joining us today on the Balance and Beyond Podcast.

  • Why Your Get-Sh*t-Done Identity is Costing You Everything (Vault)
    The "Get Shit Done" identity that once propelled your career may now be causing burnout and limiting your potential. This episode explores why being efficient, reliable, and productive is no longer enough in today's workplace, and offers strategies to transition from being someone who "gets things done" to someone who "makes things happen."• Three characteristics of GSD people: high achiever tendencies, efficiency obsession, and external validation dependency• Warning signs your GSD approach has hit a plateau: chronic overwhelm, being passed over for promotion, resentment, and burnout• Why AI makes the GSD identity increasingly obsolete as technology can now perform tasks faster than humans• The alternative: becoming a Woman of Influence who leads others, challenges the status quo, and maintains healthy boundaries• How shifting your identity from doer to influencer leads to working less while achieving more meaningful resultsIf this resonated with you, share it with a friend who needs to hear it today, and don't forget to subscribe to Balance and Beyond for full episodes and more of these bite-sized breakthroughs.Thank you for joining us today on the Balance and Beyond Podcast.

  • When a CEO Comes Out of the Spiritual Closet
    What happens when a corporate CEO dares to embrace her spiritual side? In this soul-stirring conversation, Sara shares her extraordinary journey from buttoned-up business leader to what she calls a "soul explorer" – without abandoning her executive responsibilities or strategic mindset.The catalyst? A profound encounter following her stepfather's death when Frank Sinatra's "My Way" mysteriously played through her car speakers while her display showed a completely different song. This unexplainable moment cracked open her perception of reality and possibility, launching her into a spiritual awakening that would transform how she approached both business and life.Sara reveals her gradual emergence from the "spiritual closet," first sharing her experiences with trusted colleagues, then eventually reading her poetry (which she describes as "transmissions" received in the night) at corporate board meetings where she serves as chair. The surprising result? Rather than facing ridicule, she discovered that approximately 95% of CEOs and philanthropists resonated with spiritual concepts in some way.This revelation challenges our assumptions about the business world: "We're all in the closet. Everyone's in the closet," Sara observes. Perhaps most powerfully, she shares how shifting from constantly proving her worth to simply trusting her purpose freed her from impostor syndrome: "I may never feel worthy... But what I have learned to do is just trust. I trust that I am there for something bigger."For ambitious women navigating their own balance between professional demands and deeper meaning, this conversation offers both validation and practical wisdom. The journey doesn't require dramatic spiritual experiences or leaving the corporate world behind—it simply begins with creating space to listen to yourself more deeply and trusting the intuitive nudges that often contradict your logical mind.Ready to explore how bringing your whole self to work might transform your leadership and life? Listen now, and discover what might be possible when you open your own spiritual closet.Thank you for joining us today on the Balance and Beyond Podcast.
