BURNOUT - BREAKTHROUGH - BECOMING

Welcome to

The Balance Institute Movement

We don’t just help women avoid burnout.
We help them rise into lives that are truly theirs.

Because burnout isn’t the end.
It’s the beginning of everything that matters.

What We Stand For

This is the fastest path to becoming who you really are.

When women enter this movement - whether they’re burnt out, breaking free, or ready to rise - they step into a journey of transformation that has guided thousands before them.

It’s not random. It’s mapped.

And it’s more powerful when you walk alongside women who get it.

Wherever you join us, you're stepping into something far bigger than relief:

You’re reclaiming your time. Your power. Your leadership.
And most importantly... your life.

Where are you on the journey?

Burnout → Awakening

Awakening → Reclamation

Reclamation → Rise

Wherever You Are, You Belong Here

This movement has helped over 5,000 women break generational patterns, rebuild their confidence, and redefine what success looks like.
Our community is filled with ambitious women who were burning out in silence, and now lead with clarity, energy, and ease.

You don’t have to do this alone.
You just have to start walking toward yourself.

“Instead of battling through each day under self applied pressure, I am now facilitating a healthier balance between my work and personal life. I am now excited for what the future holds and hungry to discover my full potential.”

- Belinda | Accountant

“Jo, along with Jaclyn and Sabina, and the incredible community of women I've connected with, have created a space where I've learned to let go of the need for perfection and embrace my authentic self. This wasn't just about surface-level improvements; it involved looking deep within, confronting long-held worries and limiting beliefs, and ultimately shattering them.”

- Jacinta | Oral Medicine Specialist

“This program has been a life-changing experience that’s transformed me from being exhausted with a never-ending to-do list, to having more energy, more fun, and a clearer vision of success.”

- Michelle | Finance Executive

Why This Is Different

"You were never too much.

You were just operating inside a world too small for your power."

– Jo Stone | Founder & CEO

We know what you’ve tried before. Coaching. Courses. Time-blocking. Self-help books.
You’ve told yourself to push through, be more efficient, fix your mindset, or just get over it.

But here’s the truth:
You were never the problem. The system was.
The model of success you were chasing was never built for women like you, with ambition, emotional depth, and a life that won’t fit inside someone else’s spreadsheet.

At The Balance Institute, we’re not just here to “manage” burnout or teach you productivity hacks.

We’re here to walk you through a full identity recalibration, where you don’t just cope differently…
You lead differently. You live differently. You become someone new.

Here’s what makes this movement unlike anything else you’ve tried:

• We don’t coach the symptom. We transform the source.

Burnout isn’t fixed with bubble baths or better calendars. We go deep, unravelling the patterns that created it in the first place.

• We work at the intersection of ambition and identity.

We know you want more from life, not less. This isn’t about dialling down your goals. It’s about achieving them in a way that doesn’t cost you everything else.

• We blend structure, depth, and sisterhood.

You’ll receive practical tools and powerful reflection. Evidence-based frameworks and real human support. This is intelligent coaching with soul.

• We don’t do generic.

Every woman’s journey is different, but the arc is mapped. Wherever you are, we’ll meet you there.

• We aren’t here to fix you.

We’re here to walk you home to yourself. Your power. Your peace. Your next chapter.

From Our Founder, Jo Stone

I built the life I thought I was supposed to want - a Chief title, the dream house, gorgeous kids, the lot.
And still, I wasn’t fulfilled.
It wasn’t until I broke down that I realised I wasn’t broken, I was just living by someone else’s script.
So I rewrote mine.
Now I help women do the same, not just to avoid burnout, but to create lives they never thought possible.

The Balance Institute isn’t just built on theory, it’s built on real women, with real lives, who’ve walked the very path you’re now on. Our coaching team combines deep professional expertise with lived experience of burnout, awakening, and rise.

We’re not here to fix you. We’re here to walk beside you, whether you're burnt out, breaking free, or ready to rise.

What makes us different? We blend evidence-based coaching with soul-level transformation. Strategy with softness. Structure with sovereignty. Every member of this team brings a unique lens, but we are united by one mission: to help you reclaim your power and become the woman you were always meant to be.

This is coaching, but it’s also companionship, clarity, and a homecoming.

Meet Jo Stone –

Founder & CEO

Hi, I’m Jo.

I had it all! The successful corporate career, the dream house, the wonderful husband, and two gorgeous kids. Yet, on the inside, I was burning out and wondered why I wasn't happy.

I spent 20 years in the corporate world, rising quickly to become a global organisation's Asia Pacific Chief Marketing Officer at 32. But despite the accolades, I felt unfulfilled.

I made a bold decision to redefine success on my own terms. I sold our dream home, stepped away from my corporate role, and embarked on a journey to create a life of fulfilment, freedom, and authenticity.

Now, as the founder of The Balance Institute, I help ambitious women unhook from burnout, perfectionism, and people-pleasing so they can lead from clarity, not exhaustion.

This movement is my life’s work.

And if you’re ready to rise, I’d be honoured to walk beside you.
