The Balance Theory

Beyond the shaped molecule, DNA can tell us SO much more about our genetic tendencies, existence and capabilities. Alessandra Edwards is a performance expert and keynote speaker who’s obsessed with one question: how far can we stretch our genetic limit so we can achieve our maximum potential. She specialises in high-performance, and explains why it's a sexy area to talk about.

Join our conversation today as we question what DNA can tell us, how we can find it out, the different genetic types and what that means for you and my favourite, if it's written in your code, does that mean you can't change it?

Be prepared to be mind blown, especially if you've never heard of using your genes/DNA as a basis for performance. You can find out more at https://alessandraedwards.com and also download her '30 tips to increase energy'. Also stay tuned for her book titled "The DNA of Performance" which is available for pre-sale on her website.

Stay Balanced.

This mini segment today goes into Kronos v Kairos time and why it's important. We're all run by the clock, there's no doubt about it. But what if we could (on the daily) engage in human time, away from clocks and calendars? You know those moments where time feels like it goes on forever? How good would it feel to have moments like that in each and every single day.

Tune in to hear my thoughts on how we might be able to do this! I've kept it short and sweet this week. Enjoy!

Stay Balanced.

Today we follow on from last week's discussion on all things about Brain Balance! We continue discussing Scott's 5 stress erasers, how to optimise breaks at work, if rituals and habits are essential, and why we are retiring too early! This is just as juicy & info packed as the first episode! My favourite part was the understanding that we can continuously grow our brain - even as we get old! We have no choice about the shrinking part, but there are certainly things we can do to sustain it long term.

If you loved this chat, you will really enjoy Scott's book 'Activate Your Brain' available on Amazon. I would strongly recommend picking yourself up a copy! Learn more at http://scotthalford.com. Be sure to leave a review/rating on your favourite channel if you love this pod, or share it with a friend who may benefit from the wealth of knowledge shared today. 

Until next time,

Stay Balanced.

Do we really only use 10% of our brains? Why do we always feel like we need to be in control of everything (I'm talking to you back seat drivers!) Is our intelligence confined to the size of our brain? These and SO much more answered in today's pod.

Tune in as writer and long-time professional speaker and educator of businesspeople worldwide, Scott Halford enlightens us all the way from Colorado on all things regarding our key Balance Organ - the brain. His experience is based on brain-based behavioural science, emotional intelligence, critical thinking, and influence. Today we talk about how to leverage off our desire for control, how universal wisdom comes to be, why coffee is your friend and the impacts of stress today, and long term.

Speaking of stress, Scott shares his 5 stress erasers which are easy to adopt and could change your life experience! I'd love to hear if you give these a go. If you love this episode, then you need to get your hands on Scott's book 'Activate Your Brain' which is actually how I came across Scott's work in the first place. It is super easy to digest and so interesting!

You know when it's that time of the month and you couldn't think of anything worse than exercising? Listen in as Health Coach and Exercise Physiologist Sarah Liz King discusses how we can and should optimise our training regime alongside the phases of our menstrual cycle. We also chat about PCOS & Hypothalamic Amenorrhea - how can you know which one you have and what are the differences in terms of your training and diet? Oh and what about the pill, can that really help or hinder menstrual issues? Sarah shares all her insight and opinion on today's pod.

Lastly we do a deep dive into intuitive eating - what does this buzz word actually mean and how can we become intuitive eaters? I loved this chat so much and learned a whole bunch about my body and biology.

I would strongly recommend checking out Sarah's own podcast "Holistic Health Radio" for a deeper dive into these topic areas. Further, you can check out more through IG @sarahlizking or by visiting her website https://sarahlizking.com. Here's also the direct link to Part 1 of her 3 part series on PCOS v HA: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/is-pcos-or-hypothalamic-amenorrhea-causing-your-missing/id1455903870?i=1000484983470.

So, if you're the common denominator amongst all of your bad relationships, you either need to change your mindset or get real and finally spring clean the relationship room (eek yes I know you probably don't want to hear it)! Sometimes this isn’t always as easy as it sounds, especially when it’s family or colleagues, so tune in for my thoughts on these tricky areas.

I’ll also muse a little on the concept of control and whether this is causing the “negativity” you perceive. Let’s channel your thoughts and emotions around “bad” relationships … after all, they’re JUST as toxic as “bad” thoughts, feelings, foods & drink. Listen and find out where you stand!

Disclaimer: I am not. Psychologist or a professional in coaching relationships and this is purely my own personal advice & thoughts (which I’m hoping you will resonate with to some degree!)

If you enjoy this weeks episode, it would mean the world to me if you to share it with someone you think will love it, or leave us a rating/review on your preferred channel ♡ 

Stay Balanced

Today I share my thoughts on "beginnings" and their close but common link to "failing". I think the fear of failing, and the emotions associated with 'new beginnings' often prevent people from getting started A LOT more than they should. I share some insights into how we can reframe our understanding and connection to these feelings, and kick beginnings in the butt!
