About this listen

FAITH-DRIVEN BUSINESS PODCAST

Welcome to Off-Balance, the podcast for entrepreneurs and professionals who are tired of guessing. Each episode takes a Coaching Lens approach to the HR, leadership, and structure issues quietly costing you time, money, and peace, so you can build a business that actually works.

I’m Dr. Brooks Demming, business coach, author, and creator of the R.I.S.E. Coaching Framework. I help entrepreneurs build resilience, set healthy boundaries, and lead with confidence while staying rooted in faith and family. I believe resilience isn’t built in the calm, it’s built in the chaos, usually while reheating yesterday’s coffee for the third time. Over the years, I’ve helped countless entrepreneurs move from overwhelm to clarity by replacing hustle with structure and intention.

Through faith-fueled conversations and Coaching Lens episodes, I break down real patterns I see in my coaching and HR work. You’ll learn what’s really happening beneath burnout, why working harder often isn’t the answer, and how to create systems and leadership practices that support your calling instead of draining it.

If you’re tired of juggling everything and wondering how to keep God at the center of your busy life, you’re in the right place. Each week, you’ll find practical tools and grounded insight to help you:

  • Build resilience in life and business
  • Lead with confidence without compromising your values
  • Create rhythms of peace at home and work
  • Step boldly into your God-given purpose

You don’t have to choose between business success, family time, and a strong faith foundation. You can thrive in all three.

🎙️ Hit play and walk this entrepreneurial journey with clarity, confidence, and faith, even when life feels a little off-balance.

  • 78 | Coaching Lens: Why You Feel Behind Even When You’re Working Hard
    Jan 2 2026

    👉 Ready for clarity? Book Now

    You’re showing up.
    You’re doing the work.
    And yet, it still feels like you’re behind.

    In this Coaching Lens episode of Off-Balance, Dr. Brooks Demming breaks down a pattern she sees constantly in her coaching and HR work with high-performing women. The issue isn’t laziness, lack of discipline, or poor time management. It’s a lack of structure and clear direction.

    From a coaching, HR, and leadership perspective, this episode explores why working harder often creates more pressure instead of progress, how effort replaces structure in many businesses, and why capable leaders end up carrying far more than they should.

    You’ll learn how to recognize when feeling behind is actually a systems signal, the key questions that bring clarity, and what needs to shift so your business can support you instead of draining you.

    If your days are full but stability still feels out of reach, this conversation will help you name what’s really happening and take the next right step forward.

  • 77 | Clarity Begins in Quiet: A Conversation with | Bill of Sage Life
    Dec 30 2025

    A clearer life starts with a quiet moment. We sit down with Bill, spiritual author and founder of Sage Life, to unpack a grounded approach to awakening that trades vague ideals for practical steps you can apply today. No jargon, no gatekeeping; just a simple framework anchored in awareness, love, and personal responsibility.

    Bill shares how he moved from building companies to building a life of clarity, and how his core framework unfolds: we’re animated by Spirit, we are eternal, and we must own our path. From there, we explore the daily practices that create real change: ten minutes of stillness, turning off the phone, and asking better questions: Is this love? Is this true? Bill explains why awareness is the beginning of change, how to spot hidden programming, and what to do when pain and triggers surface in traffic, at work, or at home.

    We go deeper into Christ consciousness as a lived lens rather than distant worship, and what it means to embody love with strength and boundaries. If people pleasing drains your energy, you’ll learn how to let yes be yes and no be no, how to track where your power leaks, and how to align your choices with purpose. Bill’s practical tools: electronic retreats, micro-meditations, compassionate reframing; help you act instead of react and create momentum the universe loves to meet.

    You’ll leave with a toolkit to start now: commit to the path, practice daily quiet, choose love in small moments, and treat triggers as teachers. When effort meets intention, clarity grows, peace expands, and life begins to align around what matters most. If this conversation resonates, follow, shar

  • 76 | From Corporate Ladder To Community Builder with | Mel Carr
    Dec 23 2025

    What if the fastest path to growth is letting go of the work you’re best at? That’s the challenge Mel Carr brings as she shares how an executive virtual assistant team, a simple publishing framework, and a service‑first mindset can flip a business from overwhelm to momentum.

    We unpack how Mel built Clovercy as a US‑based executive VA agency that does more than check boxes. Her team steps into operations, digital marketing, and project management while helping founders protect their voice and standards. Mel explains why clear goals, SOPs, and honest communication turn delegation into leverage, and how AI, used thoughtfully, speeds delivery without sacrificing quality. Expect frank stories about clients who regained hours by handing off CRM migrations, content production, and admin; and how those hours reappeared as revenue, relationships, and rest.

    The conversation turns to authorship and the Six-Figure Chicks movement. Mel breaks down why a single chapter can transform visibility, credibility, and confidence, especially for women who feel their story isn’t big enough to matter. We cover anthology structure, practical prompts for overcoming imposter syndrome and perfectionism, and the ripple effects: search discoverability, speaking invites, and deeper client trust. Mel also shares how her nonprofit, Her Right To Rise, connects published authors with young women through mentorship and community events, turning personal wins into a collective legacy.

    If you’re ready to trade busywork for needle‑moving work, this is your playbook. Learn how to find the right VA fit, pair human expertise with AI, and package you
