  • Summary

  • 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.
