Ep 56Masculine vs. Feminine Communication Styles: The Socially Conditioned Extremes in Self Promotion- EP56

E

All men don't communicate in a certain way, not all women communicate the opposite... I know, knickers will be twisted over this episode and given how the phrase 'toxic masculinity' has been hijacked and even emerging young men are scared to be themselves... I understand the concern... But in my work coaching leaders to be heard, there are some common blockers... and specifically, in this chat we're talking about how you sell yourself. In an interview or on the job. How do you make your brilliance known, without... agression or sleaziness? How do we lean into the strengths of masculie and feminine styles of communication, without veering to the extremes? And, does doing that mean we're being inauthentic? The way we communicate has less to do with the gender assigned at birth and everything to do with how we were socialised to communicate. The way we were taught to show up in relationships, how to be taken seriously, how to be seen. This episode is a micro masterclass in how to challenge the stereotype you were taught to use... and what to do instead, for a better, more helpful result. This is the communication style that will help you to be heard - without slimy self promotion tactics that make your skin crawl. Let's break the mould. This episode explores how we can communicate from a place of authentic power and balance, specifically in relation to 'selling yourself'. If you're ready to embrace communication that's grounded in authenticity, power, and balance, this episode is for you.

Ep 57Reverse Imposter Syndrome

E

Imposter Syndrome is when others think you're better than you think you are. But what happens when you know you're brilliant, yet you're still not getting the recognition you deserve? That's what I call Reverse Imposter Syndrome. In this episode, I'm sharing the term I coined to describe that dangerous trap where you start doubting your brilliance because your work isn't being acknowledged. The truth is, the problem isn't your brilliance at all—it's likely your communication style. If you're caught in Reverse Imposter Syndrome, this episode is a must-listen to break free from the frustration, reclaim your confidence, and step into your true potential. ✨ Ready for the balanced, high-performing version of you? 🌿 Join The Balance Project Your $25/month Netflix-style hub for thriving work-life balance, with live coaching, in-person Balance Walks, and practical game changers you can use straight away. balancewon.com 📚 Buy the Books Including Cath's The Did Great Habit: BOOKSTORE 🎧 Hit Subscribe! to never miss a new episode 💡Follow on Instagram @thegoddessofbalance 👋🏻Connect on LinkedIn linkedin.com/in/nolancatherine 💖 Facebook Friend @catherine.nolan.coach 📺 Watch on YouTube @cathnolancoach 🎙️ About The Goddess of Balance Podcast Hosted by Catherine Nolan — five-time #1 bestselling author, multi-award-winning leadership and performance coach — this podcast explores how to build real balance: the kind that fuels peak performance at work and peace at home.

Ep 60Tracey Spicer is Disrupting AI Before It's Too Late

Balance Vs. The World: Wha'ts AI's role in the chaos? Achieving balance is an internal game, but let's be real- it's constantly held hostage by the world we live in. Expectations, conditioning, the cost of living, kids, parents, the boss... And now we add in AI to that mix. AI has the potential to make it better- or make it worse. You and I are the end users of AI, right? We're not just consumers, we're humans. So it should be built with us in mind. But is it? Enter Tracey Spicer. She's the expert on how a lack of diversity is shaping our future world-and not in a good way. Tracey Spicer AM is a Walkley Award-winning journalist, author, broadcaster, and fierce advocate for gender equality and media reform. We're also practically neighbours, sharing a lagoon and a love of balance. In this brilliant (and hilarious) chat, we dig into how AI is already shaping our world and what we can do to take the wheel from here. AI gives us an ironic mismatch: technology meant for the future that's actually dragging us back to the inequities of the past. Tracey's got the insights on how we can step up right now and become active participants in shaping the world we want for tomorrow. So, join us, friend. It's a brave, funny, and powerful conversation you won't want to miss.

Are you silently raging about how women are so quick to feel guilty over pleasure? Why does the term 'guilty pleasure' even exist?

Ep 66Think you're doing balance badly? Ashling did too. Until this chat.

Ashling O'Brien is ceaselessly curious. A radiant heart and a ruthless organiser. She's also a super engaged mum, adoring wife, briliant business leader, and instantly recognisable local icon. But life doesn't always feel as polished as it looks. In this episode, we explore global moves with babies, starting a business in a new country with no support networks- and twins. Then starting the next new business during the very week COVID lockdowns rolled out. Most would scale back. Ashling leaned in. Her business baby, OsteoStrong, thrives when her clients do. And they are. Bringing technology to wellness for dramatic health gains. This chat was recorded two weeks after we strategised: huddled in the only café in our tourist town with doors to keep out the icy wind off Sydney Harbour. Ashling throught she was failing miserably at balance. Because how it looked didnt' match how it felt. Other people's standards vs our own. In this chat we're digging in to how to take balance off the heavy to-do list and make it real. You'll take away insights on keeping your life, work, and ambition moving without losing yourself. 🎧✨ Tune in for a conversation about curiosity, strategy, and making balance actually happen—even when everything is stacked against you.

Ep 61Not Doing List - My Secret To Time & Energy

E

Not Doing List: The Secret to More Time & Energy If there was a competition for to-do list length, I'd do well. I love a list. I find it satisfying - the dopamine hit when you write your intention to accomplish these tasks that have been weighing on your mind. Stacking your mental load. But I've learned to deal with my to-do list more effectively. Because if you do't, you get to the end of the day exhausted, having been busy, looking productive, but having accomplished little of substance. So in this episode, we dive into the power of the Not Doing List—the things you actively choose not to do so you can create space for what matters. This conversation is the epitome of working smarter, not harder. Working in alignment. If you're tired of feeling overwhelmed, it's time to take a step back and focus on less. Learn how you can make fewer commitments, reduce the mental load, and embrace balance. It's a game-changer I know that you'll love. Ready to do less, so you can do more of what you love?

Ep 53Is Your Balance Story A Lie?

Are you carrying a story that says you can't have balance? You've pushed really hard, to make balance work. Blocked the time. Started the brave conversations. You know balance matters — but it still slips through your fingers. In this solo episode, we're going deeper than your to-do list, to the stories underneath. The quiet beliefs that whisper you're only worthy when you're useful. The identity-level rules you didn't choose, but inherited. If you've ever felt guilty for resting… If you've ever planned your hair wash days around being "presentable enough"… If being needed still feels safer than being seen… This one's for you. Your lack of balance is not a time issue. It's a story issue. And once you see it — you won't unsee it.

Ep 45Let The Good Girl Go First

She didn't say a word… but her face said everything. The camp news was brutal, and my 11-year-old wasn't hiding her disappointment. In this episode, we're talking about what happens when we rush to solutions before letting honesty have a turn—and why balance starts with truth, not perfection. If you've ever found yourself trying to cheer someone up too quickly (or biting your tongue when you needed space to feel first), this one's for you. We're diving into emotional intelligence, real leadership, parenting lessons that echo into boardrooms, and the magic that happens when we hold space instead of rushing to fix. ✨ Because the honest voice doesn't need to be silenced. It just needs to be heard first.
