Today we're speaking all about my Burnout to Balance journey.

For close to a decade, I was stuck in a cycle of chronic burnout, obsessed with accumulating achievements while disregarding my own needs. I was becoming sick, anxious and completely disconnected from life.

In this episode, I share how I learned to slow down, tune into my body and start honouring myself again. Slowly, I rebuilt a life that felt like mine again.

If you’re feeling exhausted on a soul level, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to stay stuck here.

Give yourself permission to stop hustling or chasing, and start living in a way that feels authentic for you. You can step into a way of living that feels lighter, freer, and more aligned with who you are at the core.

That journey starts now.

Dean Gladstone is a breathwork instructor, an ice bath coach and a yogi - on a mission to help people manage stress to enhance their health and performance.

Dean’s health journey began after he was in a life-changing accident in Bali, which led him to explore breathwork and ice baths as powerful tools for resilience, healing and wellbeing.

Today, he shares insights on how breath influences the nervous system and the benefits of ice baths (if you’ve never taken an ice bath, this is the episode for you!).

Dean also discusses the essential pillars of health - nutrition, exercise, and sleep - and the benefits of maximising them to live your best quality life.

You might also recognise Dean from the iconic show - Bondi Rescue, having spent over 2 decades saving people on Bondi Beach. We touch on the mental resilience required to work in such a high intensity job and how he managed stress when it all became too much.

Today I chat with Maciek, the owner of Revive Australia. He’s also my massage therapist!

With over two decades of experience working on people’s body’s, Maciek brings a wealth of knowledge to his practice. He’s worked with everyone from elite athletes to calm yogis, stressed office workers, and fitness champions like Lauren Simpson.

Every session with Maciek I walk out having learnt so much about anatomy, but I could also tell he also had an incredible life story to share. Today, we dive into his personal journey growing up in communist Poland, meeting his now wife Kasia and their journey moving to Australia and building their business.

We discuss how an act of kindness - being leant money from a friend to buy a massage bed and a phone - kickstarted his career in massage therapy. Maciek shares his insights to healthy, long lasting relationship - one that will withstand any challenge and be fortified during times of grief and loss. We also touch on Maciek and Kasia’s 5-year long, 15 round journey of IVF.

Dr Anthea Todd is here to simplify the ever-confusing landscape that is… WOMEN’S HEALTH.

With a background in chiropractic, dual Masters in women's health medicine and reproductive medicine, and expertise in functional neurology, functional medicine, cardiometabolic health, gastrointestinal health, immuno-hormonal health, bioenergetics, and neuro-emotional technique. She's reshaping women's health and has founded Female Fundamentals to do so, having recently released her first book ‘What is my body telling me?’

Anthea’s goal is to empower women and professionals to see their bodies as the solution, not the problem; emphasising that the solutions are always within. She also sometimes gives health advice from the comfort of her skateboard.

Today we chat about how to truly listen to what your body is telling you. We chat about the times in Anthea’s life when she hasn’t been connected to her body and uncover the power of finding tools to support your own health - in ways that last for life.

Tobi Pearce is best known for co-founding a business with his ex-partner Kayla Itsines with the goal of empowering people to achieve their best health. What started as backyard fitness classes run by Kayla soon became the meteoric success known as SWEAT, a global fitness app with tailored health and fitness programs for users worldwide. It garnered the support of over 30 MILLION subscribers (that’s more people than the entire population of Australia) and was acquired in 2021 for a reported $400 million.

Since then, Tobi’s gone on to create and nurture over 15 other businesses, coaching, mentoring and investing in other founders along the way. He is someone who embodies drive, a commitment to learning and a dedication to better himself and the lives of those around him. I forgot to mention, he also finds time to practise Brazilian jiu jitsu and has been training in classical piano since the age of 4!

Today we discuss business learnings, personal learnings and the intersection of both - and why mastery is the only worthy goal.
