Everything You're Consuming Is Making You Less of Yourself (Here's What You Can Do) | Mo Gawdat
Yesterday01:55:05Summary readyYou've been doing the work. Reading, listening, growing, trying. And yet something keeps feeling off, like the life you're building is quietly being pulled in a direction you didn't choose. In this episode of The Balance Theory, Erika sits down with Mo Gawdat, former Chief Business Officer at Google X, bestselling author of Solve for Happy and Scary Smart, and one of the most original thinkers on the planet. This isn't a conversation about productivity or optimisation. It's about something deeper: the invisible forces shaping who you are, how you think, and what you believe is possible, and how to take that back. If you've ever caught yourself thinking: "I feel like I'm losing time but I don't know where it's going" "Something feels off but I can't name it" "I don't feel as in control of my life as I want to be" "I want to feel more like myself again" "I'm not sure what's actually true anymore" WHAT WE COVER: The unconscious daily decisions quietly costing you years of your life Why your life is being hijacked and how to see it clearly How long-form content protects your emotional intelligence Mo's framework for knowing what is actually true in the news How to move from passive observer to someone who actually makes change The flip flop deep technique for consuming information consciously The difference between a good man and a nice man A powerful 30-minute brain exercise Mo does every day Whether AI is a threat or the greatest opportunity humanity has ever had How to raise conscious humans in an AI world Why utopia might only be 10 years away Mo Gawdat doesn't just name the problem. He gives you the tools to reclaim your mind, your time, and who you're becoming.

The Stress Advice That Actually Changed My Life | Alice Law
1w ago01:00:13Summary readyFeeling stressed, overwhelmed or like your brain just won’t switch off? In this episode of The Balance Theory Podcast, we sit with Alice Law and unpack the stress advice that can actually change your life , not by pretending stress does not exist or that it’s unavoidable, but by helping you understand what is happening in your brain, body, environment and inner world when stress takes over. This conversation is for you if you have been wondering how to stress less, how to stop overthinking, how to decrease stress in your everyday life, or how to feel calmer when life feels uncertain. We explore why stress can feel so hard to manage, what happens when your brain starts spiralling, and why overthinking often feels productive even when it is keeping you stuck. You’ll learn practical tools to calm your mind, reduce stress in the moment, and create more “micro-certainty” when everything around you feels unpredictable. We also talk about the fine line between planning and overthinking, the signs of stress most people ignore, and how your environment could be quietly increasing your stress threshold every day. This episode also goes deeper into the idea of spiritual stress: the kind of stress that comes from living out of alignment, ignoring your intuition, saying yes when you mean no, or not knowing who you are beyond the labels you carry. If you are feeling overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, anxious about the future, or like your thoughts are running your life, this conversation will help you understand stress differently and give you practical ways to decrease stress and feel more in control again. In this episode, we cover: * How to stress less when your brain will not switch off * Why overthinking can make stress worse * What is happening in your brain when you worry about the future * The signs of stress most people ignore * The four different types of stress * How to stop spiralling when you feel overwhelmed * The difference between planning and overthinking * Simple environment hacks to decrease stress * Why your morning routine and phone habits may be increasing stress * How to create micro-certainty when life feels uncertain * How to strengthen your intuition * The difference between anxiety and intuition * What spiritual stress is and how to recognise it * One thing you can do immediately to feel less stressed This could be the one episode that changes your everyday life.

How to Build Unshakable Belief Before Success Shows Up | Anam Khalid
2w ago01:02:42Summary readyWhat does it really take to become the version of yourself who can hold the success, business, life and vision you say you want? In this episode of The Balance Theory Podcast, I sit down with Anam Khalid, co-founder of SQUATWOLF, to talk about the personal evolution behind building a global brand, from leaving the corporate world, to trusting the unknown, to developing the self-belief required before success shows up. Anam shares her journey from growing up in Pakistan to moving to Dubai and building SQUATWOLF into an international activewear brand. But this conversation goes far beyond business. We talk about what it means to leave the safe path, how to know when you have outgrown a version of your life that looks good on paper, and why success often requires you to upgrade yourself before your external world can change. We explore the mindset shift from employee to entrepreneur, how to build belief before you have proof, why naivety and “delusion” can sometimes be a blessing, and the personal growth required to take a business from 0 to 1 and then from 1 to 10. Anam also opens up about burnout, brain fog, working with her husband as co-founder and co-CEO, navigating boundaries between marriage and business, and why the state of a founder often becomes the state of the business. If you have ever felt like you are made for more, but you are not sure what that next version of yourself looks like yet, this episode is for you.

You’re doing what you’re “supposed” to do. But internally, something feels off. Like you’re not fully in your life.

In this episode of The Balance Theory, Erika sits down with Shereen Mitwalli to unpack one of the biggest misconceptions around confidence: that it comes from what you say, when in reality… it comes from how you say it.

Because confidence isn’t about saying more. It’s about saying things in a way that actually lands.

Why Fasting & Eating Clean Might Be Backfiring for You | Iman Hasan
Apr 1900:54:56Summary readyWhat if the reason you still feel off… isn’t because you’re not trying hard enough, but because the advice you’re following was never designed for your body? In this episode of The Balance Theory, Erika sits down with Iman Hasan to unpack one of the most frustrating experiences so many women face: doing everything “right” when it comes to health - eating clean, trying fasting, investing in supplements and still not feeling better. This conversation challenges the idea that more discipline or stricter habits are the answer. Instead, it explores what’s actually happening beneath the surface, from chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation to why your body might not be absorbing the nutrients you’re giving it. If you’ve ever felt like your body isn’t responding the way it “should”… this episode will help you understand why and what to focus on instead. What We Cover: * Why fasting doesn’t work the same for every woman and when it can actually make things worse * The hidden impact of stress and being in a constant fight-or-flight state * Why your body might not be absorbing nutrients (even if you’re eating well) * The truth about “healthy eating” and why food quality isn’t what it used to be * Why supplements alone won’t fix the root issue * The importance of cell health and what it actually means * How to approach your health in a way that works with your body, not against it * Simple, overlooked shifts that can make a real difference day-to-day You’re not doing it wrong, but your body might be under more stress than you realise. And until your body feels safe, no amount of “healthy habits” will work the way you expect them to.

If You Want Both a Career and a Family… You Need to Hear This
Apr 500:57:24Summary readyWhat if the reason so many ambitious women feel torn about motherhood isn’t because they have to choose… but because no one has shown them how both can actually work? In this episode of The Balance Theory, Erika sits down with psychologist and friend (and her first guest ever on the show) Nancy Sokarno, to unpack the real, unfiltered experience of becoming a working mum - beyond the surface-level advice and societal expectations. This conversation explores the identity shift that comes with motherhood, the internal conflict high-achieving women often face, and the uncomfortable truths that aren’t spoken about enough: from grief and resentment to guilt and pressure to “do it all.” But more importantly, it reframes the narrative. This isn’t about choosing between ambition and family. It’s about understanding what needs to evolve within you to hold both. Whether you’re planning to become a mum, navigating early motherhood, or trying to build a life that includes both career and family, this episode will give you a deeper perspective on what that actually requires. 💭 What We Cover: Why motherhood is an identity evolution, not just a new role The internal pressure to be the “perfect” mother — and how to let it go Why high-achieving women often struggle more in early motherhood Grieving your old self while stepping into a new version of you The truth about resentment, guilt, and relationship shifts after a baby How to communicate better with your partner before and after becoming parents Why asking for help is harder than it sounds (and how to shift this) The reality of becoming a working mum — and why simple things feel harder What ambition looks like after motherhood — and how it changes The key mindset shift that allows you to build both a career and a family You don’t go backwards after becoming a mother, you evolve. The version of you that’s capable of holding both ambition and motherhood isn’t the old you… it’s the next version of you.
