Off-Balance Podcast | Faith, Family & Entrepreneurship
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.
