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. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs this, and leave a review to help more women create balance and beyond.

The Balance & Beyond Podcast Hosted by Jo Stone, founder of The Balance Institute
For women who are already succeeding, but beginning to wonder if they're willing to keep losing themselves in the process.
We know high achievers, because we are one. This podcast draws on Jo's 20 years in global leadership and thousands of hours coaching executives and ambitious women: the patterns she sees, how to untangle them, and what it actually takes to keep your success without paying for it with yourself.
If something landed today, there's more where that came from.
And if you know a woman this would resonate with, send it her way.
