DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
-
Your head never fully switches off. Even when nothing is wrong.
-
You feel behind no matter how much you get done.
-
You feel guilty when you stop. You feel resentful when you don't.
-
You're delivering at work and disappearing at home. Or the other way around. Sometimes both.
-
You tell yourself you just need to get on top of things. You've been saying that for two years.
-
You have the life. You're just not in it.
You've been managing the symptoms for years. It's not working anymore. It's time to rewire at the source.
Why nothing has worked:
#1 - The advice was never built for your life
The counsellor told you to set a boundary. You have a meeting with Hong Kong at 10pm and you're waiting on slides. It's not that the advice was wrong. It was never built for your reality.
#2 - They treated the symptom, not the source
The productivity tools, the time blocking, the morning routine. They worked for a week because organising your behaviour doesn't change what's driving it.
#3 - Nobody ever showed you where to actually look
Fix the perfectionism, the people-pleasing comes back. Sort the boundaries, the over-responsibility fills the gap. You've been playing whack-a-mole because nobody has ever shown you the source code.
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.

REGISTER FOR THE WAITLISTMechanism
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.
"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!"

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.
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.
Thisis for you if
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, metus at rhoncus dapibus, habitasse vitae cubilia odio sed. Mauris pellentesque eget lorem malesuada wisi nec, nullam mus. Mauris vel mauris. Orci fusce ipsum faucibus scelerisque.
This isn't for you if
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, metus at rhoncus dapibus, habitasse vitae cubilia odio sed. Mauris pellentesque eget lorem malesuada wisi nec, nullam mus. Mauris vel mauris. Orci fusce ipsum faucibus scelerisque.
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.
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.
What women say
Not overnight. But deeply and permanently.
