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.

    Feb 24 2026

    Book Business& HR Clarity Audit

    We expose the everyday HR gaps that drain money, time, and peace, and show how simple structure replaces emotional decisions with fair processes. We share a coaching lens on the mental weight of risk and a practical path to clarity using the RISE framework.

    • Hidden HR risks: misclassification, no documentation, unclear roles, inconsistent decisions, weak boundaries
    • Why small businesses are more exposed than large ones
    • How structure protects more than intent
    • Practical fixes: one-page roles, simple policies, documented decisions, consistent communication
    • The mental weight of risk and anxiety signals
    • The RISE framework: purpose, boundaries, resilience, consistency
    • Clarity as a driver of adult performance and confidence

  • 86 | Why Being Busy Is Costing You Money
    Feb 17 2026

    Book your Business & HR Clarity Audit

    You’re working hard. You’re showing up every day. And yet, the numbers aren’t moving the way they should.

    In this Coaching Lens episode of Off-Balance, Dr. Brooks Demming breaks down a truth many entrepreneurs and professionals don’t want to face: being busy does not mean your business is healthy or profitable.

    From an HR and business coaching perspective, this episode unpacks why constant activity often replaces clear structure, how low-impact tasks quietly drain your time and energy, and why capable leaders stay stuck fixing the same issues week after week. If your calendar is full but your revenue feels unpredictable, this conversation will hit home.

    You’ll learn:

    • The difference between productive work and performative busyness
    • Why familiar tasks feel safe but don’t move the business forward
    • How to identify what actually produces revenue, growth, and stability
    • The mindset shift required to move from reactive to intentional leadership

    This episode is for high-performing women who are tired of working harder without seeing sustainable results and are ready to build businesses that function with clarity instead of chaos.

    If this resonates, listen closely. The problem isn’t your work ethic. It’s where your effort is going.
