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.

64 | Breaking the Silence on Mental Health with | Charlotte Jones-Morgan
Mental health deserves the same routine care we give our teeth and heart, and today’s conversation shows how to make that real. We sit down with Charlotte, a clinical therapist who serves at one of Alabama’s largest psychiatric hospitals and leads community initiatives to bring mental health education into the church. She breaks down the biggest myths holding people back, the early signs to watch for, and why anxiety spiked in recent years, from pandemic uncertainty to constant social comparison and financial strain.
Together we unpack the power of cognitive behavioral therapy and how a single thought can shape emotions, behavior, and outcomes. You’ll hear clear, practical tools: thought-challenging that asks “Where’s the evidence?”, grounding exercises that calm panic, journaling routines that contain racing thoughts, and short movement breaks that reset the nervous system. We also turn to family life, teaching kids to name feelings, share, and self-soothe, through Charlotte’s children’s book packed with real coping skills like bubble breathing and simple DBT-inspired techniques. For adults, we connect suppressed emotions to workplace behaviors and offer daily emotional check-ins, boundaries, and self-care strategies that actually fit a busy life.
Access is a central theme. Charlotte shares how to find help even without insurance, including pro bono options and sliding-scale platforms, and spotlights the 988 mental health lifeline. We also explore community programs like Hats Brunch and Mental, where grief, trauma, psychosis, and addiction specialists demystify care and restore hope. If you’re considering becoming a therapist, Charlotte maps the path and explains why doing your own grief and trauma work is essential for sustainable, compassionate practice.
If this conversation resonates, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs a reminder that help is real, hope is practical, and healing starts with one brave step.
Are you feeling stuck? No matter how hard you push, you’re not gaining momentum in your business or your life? That’s exactly why I created the R.I.S.E. Coaching Program.
Over 8 weeks, I’ll guide you through a proven framework to help you:
- Get rooted in your purpose,
- Set and honor healthy boundaries,
- Strengthen your resilience when life hits hard,
- And execute with consistency so your goals stop collecting dust.
