	Everyone has a story - who's writing yours?	01 Nov 2022	00:22:30
…and she lived happily ever after. As little girls we bought into the fairy tale, so sometimes as women, we want to live a life without any challenges or hiccups — and effortlessly sail into retirement. But the reality is: ALL good stories have conflict. The meaningful things in life are created through struggle. Good stories aren’t planned out or predictable. In fact, a good story is one where you have no idea what’s going to happen, but you can’t wait to find out. In today’s episode, you’ll discover how to reframe your story to unlock happiness, peace, and a life you’re truly proud of. Listen now! Show Highlights Include: The insidious way hiding your flaws transforms you into a “half-human” (and makes you inauthentic to your friends and family) (7:09) How to “flip-the-switch” and become mentally prepared to achieve anything (without moving a single muscle) (11:11) 3 concepts every successful breadwinner incorporates into their story (15:59) How the pandemic unlocked new levels of motivation, grit, determination, and drive (18:35) Interested in coaching with Brilliant Balance?

	What if someday were today?	25 Oct 2022	00:19:20
Have you ever heard a story about something awe-inspiring someone has done and you think: ‘It would be so amazing to do that someday’... Then end up never doing it? We’ve all had that experience of looking great experiences square in the eye - ones that are so intensely desirable - and telling ourselves ‘not yet’. Why do we convince ourselves we’re not ready for any new challenge and that we don’t deserve to achieve our dreams ‘yet’? We tend to romanticize the idea of what we want to do instead of enjoying the experience itself. It’s almost like the anticipation of having something is greater than actually having it. It doesn’t have to be that way. In this episode, you’ll discover how to break free from the shackles of the limiting beliefs that stop you from experiencing your dreams. We’ll dive into the reasons you should think of TODAY as your someday instead of an obscure date in the far future. You’ll learn how to take charge of your life and enjoy experiences to the fullest while doing the things you’ve always wanted to do. Listen in… Show Highlights Include: The (lesser known) limiting beliefs you must break to move yourself closer to climbing your Mount Kilimanjaro (and be happy you did). (1:35) 3 approaches you can take to break free of the limiting mindset that keeps you in a constant state of dreaming (and move to living/ experiencing ) (10:30) How simply saying ‘yes’ can rewire your brain and transform your identity to someone with the boldness to try new things (instead of moping from the sidelines). (9:25) The ‘Reallocation Strategy’ you can use to smartly allocate your resources so you can fully enjoy your dream experience. (13:17) Interested in coaching with Brilliant Balance?

	My 10% rule to give a guilt-free no	11 Oct 2022	00:16:07
So many women struggle to say no. Whenever women get a request for their precious time, they feel like they owe it to the person asking. The reality is that time is finite. It’s the one resource we have that we can’t get back. Every yes we give to someone is a no we are giving to somebody else. That could be yourself, your family, your children, or even your friends. So how can you better manage your time (and give a guilt-free no)? On today’s episode, you’ll discover a framework to set boundaries, make decisions, and figure out how to say no (without feeling guilty). Listen now!

	How that "breadwinner" title might be getting in your way	20 Sep 2022	00:20:36
The number of incredible women chasing their own career dreams is awe-inspiring. The days when women didn’t stand a chance of holding a breadwinner role are long gone. Sounds amazing, right? Not so fast, my friend. It seems the transition of women into breadwinner roles wasn’t as smooth as it should have been.

Yet, the issues that come with being a female breadwinner are rarely addressed. So let’s talk about it today! In this episode, you’ll discover how being a breadwinner can affect your personal and romantic relationships. We’ll dive into the issues that can come up and how to address them head-on so you can thrive in your career and live up to your full potential, as you deserve to! Listen in… Show Highlights Include: The “Breadwinner Mindset” that keeps you in mediocrity and stops you from trying new things (4:37) How the need for belonging stops women from chasing career dreams (and how to find your tribe as a Breadwinner) Sad statistics about how making more money as a woman challenges romantic relationships (and how to stop letting money destroy the dynamic between you and your partner) (12:35) 3 ways to meet the problems you may face as a female breadwinner head-on (before they get out of hand) (16:30) Interested in coaching with Brilliant Balance?

Life is full of little boxes pleading to be checked off; it all starts in school with classes to be taken, clubs to be joined, and most importantly, a degree to be earned.

	Closing the gap between desire and doability	05 Apr 2022	00:21:49
Does fulfilling your deepest desires sound like a pipe dream? If so, you’re not alone – many of us think executing our vision would take too much time or energy, or that doing so is simply impossible.

But many times, our dreams are not beyond our reach, we just have to figure out why we’re behaving as though they are. In this episode, you’ll discover the truth behind your “not yet” pattern and learn how to close the gap between your desire and the doability of your goals. Show Highlights Include: What the tragic story of an injured soccer player can teach you about the gap between desire and doability (3:35) The “sticky story problem” that creates mental rigidity and stops you from taking action towards your dreams (11:17) How to spot and destroy the fake rules stopping you from closing your desire gap (12:57) Why you should stop being a “lone ranger” when it comes to reaching your goals (15:07) How to overcome the “not yet” pattern that kills your dreams (17:17) FREE WORKSHOP, RESOURCES, & SOCIAL LINKS* REGISTER HERE FOR A FREE WORKSHOP: Get out of that rut (and get your groove back with 5 simple shifts): https://brilliant-balance.com/rut/ <https://brilliant-balance.com/rut/> Interested in coaching with Brilliant Balance?

Investing in yourself might seem out of the question. You consider it ‘cash to burn’ and don’t see any financial returns on it.

In this episode, you’ll learn 3 ways to invest in yourself without guilt (and an unlimited potential for growth). Show highlights include: How to differentiate expenses and investments for your most powerful purchases yet.

We probably all carry a little fear around money conversations… but when it comes to asking for more, it feels easier to budget our days away (than ask for the income we deserve).

There will be no financial opportunities to seize or places to grow. In this episode, you’ll learn the 3 ways of maximizing your income (without having to pinch pennies along the way). Show highlights include: Using Expansive Energy to make your income level higher than it is today. (0:55) How to normalize conversations around money (while maintaining grace and professionalism).

And how can we have a better relationship with money? When you refuse to discuss money, it might mean you are operating as a financial child. You don’t want to be bothered by bills, budgets, or credit scores. You just want to have fun. In this episode, you’ll learn the 3 ways a financial child operates (and 7 ways to work that money into adulthood).
