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".
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!

How do men think about authenticity, emotions and communication?
Today I am joined by two men who deeply inspire me through the work they are doing for men in the mental health space- that is Kori & Manny from Mentality. Today we talk about some topics for the first time on the show - masculinity, the male experience with emotions (and stereotypes therein), what it means to be a strong woman who embraces the support of her man and balancing ambition with health. Understanding the strengths and differences in men and women can facilitate a stronger bond in a romantic relationships and in general, stronger relationships built on communication.
I LOVED this chat and the way it made me think about certain things differently - full range of topics, each to get you thinking about your own perspective!

(07:26) Can we have sustainable success?
