You built this.
The career. The reputation.
The life that looks exactly like it should.
And nobody warned you that the price of keeping it would be this high.
You can keep rising.
You just don't have to keep paying with yourself to do it.
You've been the reliable one for so long, it stopped feeling like a choice.
You see what's about to fall over and you fix it before anyone asks.
You push through because that's what you've always done.
And it's worked. Until now it's worked.
But the version of you that could keep doing this without a cost? She left a while ago.
There's nothing wrong with you.
There's something wrong with the model you've been running on.
The results are specific
Annie negotiated a new role at $53,996 and said she would not have done it without this work.
Cath went from working 70+ hours a week to 40. Same job. Different operating system.
Karen was promoted to Executive with two additional portfolios and a 50% pay increase in the six months after completing the program.
Lisa received a 20% pay rise in the same role, 18 months after graduating.
These aren’t outcomes we promised. They’re what happened when women stopped running on an outdated model.
Balance & Beyond
Twelve weeks. Three coaches. Work you cannot unsee once you've seen it.
This isn't a course about mindset or time management.
It's the work underneath... the patterns, the pressure rules, the survival strategies you've been running so long they feel like personality.
The ones driving the exhaustion that no weekend away has been able to touch.
Inside, you’ll work with expert coaches using a proven blend of neuroscience, somatic tools, and real-world leadership strategies.
Women who do this work don't just feel better. They look back six months later and can't believe what they used to put up with.
If something is landing, that's the signal.
Book a call with Sabina. Not to be sold to, but to work out whether this is the right fit at the right time.
BOOK A CALL WITH SABINAWhy cohorts. And why it matters for you.
Until now, Balance & Beyond has run as an evergreen program, women joining at different times, moving through it alone.
This year, that changes.
We’re moving to two cohorts a year. A defined group of women, starting together, moving through the work at the same time.
Here’s why that matters:
The women who got the biggest results weren’t just the ones who did the modules. They were the ones who had a room full of women around them who understood the level they operated at. Who didn’t need things explained. Who were doing the same uncomfortable work at the same time.
That’s what a cohort creates. And you can’t replicate it in an evergreen model.
Our next cohort begins Monday 9th March 2026
"When I joined the program I could barely function. Nothing in my external world has changed yet the internal is starting to feel very different. This new feeling of 'wholeness' feels like a lotto win!"
Fiona, completed Balance & Beyond in 2025
12 weeks. Structured. Sequential.
Built for real life.
Not information consumption. Internal reorganisation.
Guided Video Modules
Short. Strategic. Immediately applicable.
Each module is designed to land in your body, not just your head, because understanding the pattern and interrupting it are two completely different things.
Personalised Coaching Sessions
Three private sessions with Jaclyn or Sabina. Your patterns, your context, your specific sticking points. Nothing generic. Nothing rushed.
Weekly Live Group Calls
Women who operate at the level you do, doing the same uncomfortable work at the same time. The connection that forms in twelve weeks of this is unlike anything you'll find in an evergreen program.
What you'll actually work on.
WEEK 1
What’s actually driving the exhaustion
Not stress. Not busyness. The hidden rules and pressure patterns that have been running underneath everything. You'll name them, probably for the first time.
WEEK 2
Your relationship with time
Why you can't focus, can't switch off, and never feel done, even when the list is finished. This isn't a time management problem. It's a deeper one.
WEEK 3
The three patterns keeping you stuck
Perfectionism. Procrastination. People-pleasing. You know the words. This week you'll see exactly how they're operating in your specific life and where they came from.
WEEK 4
Emotional intelligence in real time
The difference between reacting and responding. How to stay grounded when everything is pulling at you. This is the week most women say changed how they show up at home as much as at work.
WEEK 5
Integration
Space to practise what's shifted so far in real life. Nothing new introduced. Consolidation is part of the method, not a filler week.
WEEK 6
The beliefs driving the behaviour
The assumptions underneath overwork, guilt, and self-doubt. Most of them were installed before you were ten. This week you'll finally see them clearly.
WEEK 7
Replace them with something that actually fits
Not affirmations. Not reframing. Real pattern interruption, practised in the moments that matter, not just in a journal.
WEEK 8
Release the weight you've been carrying
Guilt. Resentment. The emotional load that never quite empties. Learning to let go without shutting down and feeling the difference in your body.
WEEK 9
Boundaries that actually hold
Not the theory of boundaries. The practice of them in your specific relationships and workplace, without over-explaining or creating fallout.
WEEK 10
Integration
Stabilise new patterns in real life before the final phase. The work between sessions is where most of the change actually happens. This week is designed for that.
WEEK 11
Free up the mental load
Reduce the invisible responsibility and constant background tracking that's quietly consuming cognitive space that should be going elsewhere.
WEEK 12
Design your next chapter
Leave with a clear, sustainable operating model. Not a plan on paper, but a different way of being in your life. One you've already been practising for eleven weeks.
This isn't for everyone.
It's not for women who feel behind or broken. It's not for women looking for a place to vent without being challenged.
It's for women who are still succeeding on the outside and quietly running on empty on the inside.
It includes integration time, personalised coaching, and weekly group support designed for real change, not short-term relief.
Most women who join tell us the cost they were already paying in burnout, resentment, and self abandonment was already far higher than this investment.
91% of women felt they got a return on their investment.
Not just financially. Emotionally and professionally.
91%
of program participants felt they got a return on their investment. Not just financially, but emotionally and professionally.
83%
of program participants report improved work/life balance, without sacrificing ambition.
91%
of program participants feel empowered to reach their potential with clarity instead of exhaustion.
Our next cohort starts Monday, 9th March
Every woman enters through a Discovery Call so we can ensure this is the right fit for you and for the group.
If something on this page has been sitting with you, that's the signal. Trust it.

Meet Your Coaches
Where Corporate Strategy Meets Deep Inner Work
Every coach on this team has lived what you're navigating. Not the theory of it. The actual cost of it. That's the difference.
JO STONE
Jo spent 20 years in high-pressure corporate roles before building The Balance Institute. She's not teaching theory, she's teaching what she lived, what it cost her, and what actually changed. She works with women who are still functioning, still succeeding, and quietly paying too high a price for it. Jo is based in Sydney and is mum to Nikita, 16, and Stella, 12.
JACLYN URBAN-LUNA
Jaclyn has 12 years of experience working at the level most coaching doesn't reach, the physical patterns, the nervous system responses, the things that don't shift from insight alone. If you've understood your patterns for years and still can't change them, Jaclyn is why. She is based in LA and is mum to Alejandro, 3.
SABINA LAWRENCE
Sabina is a former Global HR Manager who now coaches women navigating leadership transitions from the inside out. She's the first person you'll speak to, and most women say that conversation alone shifts something. Sabina is based in Byron Bay and is mum to her entrepreneurial teenage son, Tai, 16.
"The check-in asked for my top two takeaways so far, but there were so many more than that. The changes come bit by bit but on reflection is big."
Freya, completed Balance & Beyond in 2025
