• The Fear You Don’t Know You’re Carrying (and How It Runs Your Life) (Vault)

  Fear is the common thread behind perfectionism, procrastination, stress and overwhelm. We explore how this powerful emotion, designed to keep us alive, has evolved to hold us back from what we truly want in modern life.• Only two fears are innate (loud noises and falling from heights) - all others are conditioned• Perfectionism stems from fear of making mistakes and ultimately fear of rejection• Procrastination is actually a protective mechanism to avoid the fear of getting it wrong• Stress and overwhelm are future-focused fears about failure and its consequences• Everything we want (calm, confidence, joy) exists on the other side of fear• Courage is the emotion needed to break through fear and access what we want• Setting intentional "scary" goals each month creates opportunities for growth• Fear doesn't disappear with growth - we learn to acknowledge it but not be ruled by it• Finding a strong "why" helps us walk through fear toward what truly mattersIf this resonated, 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.

• The One Question That Led Lisa to a Volcanic Island in the Atlantic

  What would you regret more: staying where life feels predictable or choosing a path that feels alive? We sit down with former executive, best-selling author, and master coach Lisa Toste to unpack how she moved her family from Canada to a volcanic island in the Azores and redesigned work, health, and identity without abandoning ambition. This isn’t a fantasy montage. It’s a practical, warm, and funny roadmap for anyone who senses “there has to be more” but worries about the how.Lisa shares the question that changed everything—what legacy do I want to live—and how she reframed risk by measuring regret, not just comfort. We explore the gritty middle: documents, language slip-ups, and rebuilding community. You’ll hear how she protected a fragile dream from “candle blowers,” curated inputs, and treated mindset like a daily practice using music, visuals, and sensory rituals. Her approach blends project management with nervous system care, turning uncertainty into a training ground for resilience her teens could witness and own.We go deep on letting go of the single path and clarifying the feeling instead: ocean air, slower meals, fresh food, and connection. That shift opened doors she couldn’t plan for—beachside schooling, a second language, and a food culture that supported health. Whether you’re considering a big move or a quiet pivot, you’ll leave with tools to listen to intuition, gain family buy-in, and design a life that mirrors blue zone habits and true values. Ready to choose aliveness over autopilot?

• Whispers, Shouts, or Full Punch in the Face. Which One Are You Ignoring? (Vault)

  Your body speaks in whispers, shouts, and sometimes punches to the face when you ignore its needs. Women are particularly susceptible to burnout due to perfectionism, people-pleasing, and putting everyone else first.• The whispers of burnout include trouble sleeping, brain fog, headaches, and constant tension• Shouts escalate to anxiety, adrenaline surges, digestive problems, and emotional fragility• Punches in the face are serious health crises like cancer, autoimmune conditions, or complete collapse• High-achieving women are vulnerable due to perfectionism and an inability to rest• Changing your environment without changing your mindset means burnout will follow you• The missing ingredient is addressing emotional and mental patterns, not just physical symptoms• Your body needs more than temporary relief—it needs a fundamental shift in how you treat yourselfTake a moment right now. Close your eyes and ask your body what it needs from you today.Thank you for joining us today on the Balance and Beyond Podcast.
