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.

59 | The Power of Female Conversations: Building Authentic Connections | Marissa Jones
What happens when your cup runs empty but everyone still expects you to pour? How do you reconcile faith with mental health struggles? And where do you find the strength to keep climbing when you can't even see the mountain peak?
Marissa Jones, founder of Girls Talk and women's empowerment motivator, joins us for a soul-stirring conversation about creating safe spaces where women can show up authentically, mind, body, and soul. With refreshing honesty, she dismantles the walls between spiritual well-being and mental health, offering wisdom for women navigating both realms simultaneously.
"You can't have a spiritual life if your mind is not right," Marissa shares, challenging the harmful stigma that often surrounds mental health discussions in faith communities. Her powerful testimony of overcoming personal brokenness through intentional community provides a roadmap for listeners in their own healing journeys.
The conversation delves deep into recognizing when you're depleted (frustration, exhaustion, emotional numbness) and the revolutionary act of setting boundaries—learning to say that "deep word no" as Marissa calls it. She introduces the concept of "battle buddies"—trusted friends who will pray with you, labor alongside you, and speak life into seemingly lifeless situations.
Perhaps most compelling is Marissa's vulnerability about her own journey through depression, anxiety, and a devastating divorce that left her broken. "Sometimes God will dismantle that relationship to save you," she reflects, offering hope that current pain might be protection from greater destruction ahead.
Whether you're struggling to balance faith, family and business, feeling isolated in your struggles, or simply craving authentic connection with other women, this episode offers both practical strategies and spiritual encouragement. Join our conversation and discover how to climb your mountain at your own pace while giving yourself the grace to breathe along the way.
