The Balance Theory is hosted by Australian lawyer Erika De Pellegrin, who understands the struggle of trying to find work life balance and time management with the pressures of modern day society.
This podcast is made for ambitious people who want to discover the tools to sustainably navigate a busy schedule and live their best life in the process. If you struggle with time management, stress management, job satisfaction, prioritising, procrastinating, never having time for the things you really want to be doing, constantly find your self care or down time is rushed and unproductive (or non-existent) and regularly experience guilt and that feeling you should be doing more, you're in the right place!
Work is a part of our lives, and our lives are so much more than just ‘not work’. Balance is a unique concept, one only you can determine for yourself. But the good news is, there is a way, and it's pretty straight forward! This podcast is a companion for anyone on their self growth or self development journey. You can expect to hear insightful and practical episodes on personal development and self-improvement including goal setting, emotional intelligence, how to foster a growth mindset, self-care techniques that actually work and much more.
Join us weekly for practical and personal tools and insights to help find your unique balance, to be inspired by guests like Kayla Itsines, Kelsey Wells, Steph Claire Smith, Laura Henshaw, KIC Founders, Sarah Davidson, Katie Williams and more.
If you’re ready to take balance back into your own hands, then this podcast is for you.

    Have you heard of this psychological defence mechanism? Unpacking "projection".

    Have you heard of this psychological defence mechanism? Unpacking "projection".

    One of the most powerful things I have EVER learned about in therapy is the concept of Projection. It's a psychological (and subconscious) defense mechanism- but what is it protecting? Can we know if we are projecting? What does it look like if someone is projecting on to us? How can we stay clear of someone's projections?
    All these I explore & discuss in today's episode!

Love every episode!

Hi Erika,
I just wanted to reach out and say thank you for creating such informative and helpful content through the podcast. I’m a ED registered nurse and can often struggle to find the balance between resting/working/socialising and training, so finding your podcasts have been a saviour. I love that the eps are straight to the point and concise. Keep it up! 🤍

One of the podcast's greatest strengths lies in its diverse range of topics, touching on personal growth, mindfulness, mental health, success strategies, and even unearthing hidden talents. Every episode feels like a golden nugget of wisdom, leaving me eager to apply the newfound knowledge to my daily life. The guests featured on the show are true luminaries in their respective fields, each sharing their unique perspectives and life experiences. Whether it's a renowned author, a successful entrepreneur, or a spiritual guru, the podcast consistently delivers in-depth conversations that leave you pondering for days.Erika has provided me with practical tools to overcome challenges, cultivate a positive mindset, and embrace change with open arms. I've experienced personal breakthroughs and discovered a sense of purpose that I never thought possible. If you're seeking inspiration, motivation, and a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you, this podcast is an absolute must-listen. This podcast is a hidden gem that deserves to be shared with the world. I can't recommend it enough. Kudos to the host and the entire team behind this show for creating such a transformative and impactful podcast!
