• The Three Biggest Trends of 2025

  What if the missing piece in your success story isn’t another strategy, but a safer nervous system? We explore three potent trends shaping ambitious women: rebuilding worth at the body level, reframing perimenopause as a gateway to power, and ending the silent burnout of over-responsibility. With coaches Jaclyn and Sabina, we dig into how fight, flight, freeze, and fawn show up at work and home, why grit can’t replace regulation, and the simple, repeatable practices that build real capacity under pressure.We get honest about midlife: not a cliff, a calibration. Perimenopause is more than hormones; it’s an identity and priority audit. You’ll hear how to align energy with what actually matters, choose support without guilt, and use boundaries as performance tools. We tackle the fawn response and people pleasing head on, treating resentment as data and approval as a metric worth reclaiming. Expect practical scripts, micro-habits, and a mindset shift that swaps control for congruence.This conversation is for women who lead hard things and want to stop paying for it with their health and joy. Learn to ask clearly for what you want, hold steady when others feel discomfort, and build a life that scales with your ambition. If you’re ready to stop managing everyone else’s feelings and start tracking for your own approval, press play.

We offer a path to bigger impact by asking for help, delegating earlier, and letting yourself be seen.• the hidden costs of doing it all yourself• how not asking for help stalls delegation and growth• why armour and perfectionism block real connection• the island metaphor for scale and support• working in your zone of genius with help• how human tribes model sustainable roles and reciprocity• practical steps to ask for and receive supportIf this resonated, share it with a friend who needs to hear it todayAnd don't forget to subscribe to Balance and Beyond for full episodes and more of these bite sized breakthroughsThank you for joining us today on the Balance and Beyond Podcast.

• You Can’t Out-Think Exhaustion: The 4R Fix for High Achievers

  Burnout doesn’t always arrive with sirens; sometimes it’s a quiet collapse on the office floor before a board meeting. We sit down with leadership psychologist and human performance expert Rachael Edmondson-Clark to unpack how high-achieving women slide from “I’ve got this” into overload, why dopamine and constant wins can become compulsive, and the simple biological habits that pull you back to steady ground. Rachael’s story moves from masking and toxic positivity to a mission-led life, with honest lessons about listening to the body, not just the mind.Across the conversation, we blend psychology with physiology in practical ways you can use today. We explore the power of morning daylight to anchor your circadian rhythm, walking meetings to unlock creativity and problem solving, and micro-moments that repair relationships—a six-second kiss, the “Disney hug rule,” and being truly present for the people you love. We also talk about the trap of saving restoration for weekends or holidays and how to weave recovery into daily life, even when work and family demands are intense.Rachael shares the Four R model—Recognise, Restore, Resolve, Regulate—a clear framework to spot stress signals early, top up resources, tackle external stressors with brave conversations, and use regulation as a bridge rather than a crutch. You’ll come away with language, tools and small rituals that reduce reactivity, expand bandwidth and protect long-term performance. Want more of Rachael’s work?

• The Ache of Outgrowing The Woman You Used to Be (Jo Moment)

  We explore the uncomfortable in‑between where success stops fitting and intuition asks for the lead. Jealousy becomes a compass, big goals are set down, and we choose aliveness over metrics while stepping into a sacred, uncertain void.• noticing jealousy as a clue to unmet desire• releasing the need to be seen as smart• reframing misunderstanding as their filter• stepping into the void with fear and faith• pausing big goals to measure by feeling• shifting from frameworks to intuition• trusting clients and timing to align• inviting listeners to honour their own pivotIf this resonated, share it with a friend who needs to hear it todayAnd 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.
