Off-Balance Podcast | Business Leadership, HR Strategy, and Entrepreneur Growth
FAITH-DRIVEN BUSINESS & LEADERSHIP PODCAST
Welcome to Off-Balance, a faith-driven business and leadership podcast for entrepreneurs and professionals who want clarity, structure, and sustainable growth in the way they lead and build their businesses.
Hosted by Dr. Brooks Demming, business coach, author, and creator of the R.I.S.E. Coaching Framework, this podcast explores the leadership, HR, and operational challenges that quietly create pressure inside growing businesses.
Each episode takes a Coaching Lens approach to the real issues entrepreneurs face as their businesses grow, including leadership clarity, HR strategy, founder burnout, team structure, and decision-making.
If you’ve ever felt like your business depends too much on you, or that success has created more pressure instead of more freedom, this podcast will help you understand why.
Dr. Brooks Demming brings more than 15 years of leadership and HR experience, along with a Doctorate in Business Administration, to help entrepreneurs move beyond hustle culture and build organizations that function with clarity and stability.
Through practical insight, real examples from coaching and HR work, and faith-centered leadership principles, Off-Balance helps leaders understand what’s really happening beneath the surface of burnout, overwhelm, and operational chaos.
You’ll learn how to:
• Build resilience in life and business
• Create structure and systems that support growth
• Lead teams with clarity and confidence
• Strengthen boundaries and decision-making
• Keep faith and family aligned with your calling
Because building a business should not come at the cost of your peace.
If you’re tired of guessing, juggling everything, and wondering how to keep God at the center of your leadership journey, you’re in the right place.
Each week, you’ll gain practical tools, grounded leadership insight, and a faith-centered perspective to help you build a business that supports your purpose instead of draining it.
You don’t have to choose between business success, family time, and a strong faith foundation.
You can thrive in all three.
🎙️ Follow the podcast and walk this entrepreneurial journey with clarity, confidence, and faith — even when life feels a little off-balance.

83 | Your Head Won’t Heal Your Heart, Your Body Will with | Marie-Pier
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the path back to desire isn’t more effort, but more honesty felt in your body? We sit down with sexual and relational therapist Marie Pier to unpack how trauma shapes intimacy, why overwork quietly drains attraction, and how real resilience looks less like stoicism and more like presence. Instead of chasing another how-to list, we explore the skill of sensing; slowing down enough to notice where anxiety lives, where you’re saying yes on the outside and no on the inside, and how those tiny betrayals add up in love.
Marie shares a striking case study of a long marriage transformed not by better arguments but by one brave moment of helplessness. When the husband allowed himself to feel what he was avoiding, tears opened a new level of seeing and being seen. That shift; out of the head and into sensation; reframes strength, builds trust, and restores real connection. We also talk polarity: how many high performers harden into the mind, turning sex into performance and pushing softness out of reach. Bringing warmth, breath, and attunement back into the room rekindles attraction because safety precedes desire.
You’ll leave with practical steps to choose from embodied truth instead of fear: micro-pauses in busy evenings, tracking where your body tightens when you people-please, and learning what a full-body yes feels like. We connect the dots between leadership, parenting, and partnership, showing how presence; not perfection, changes the tone of a home and the temperature of a relationship. If you’re ready to replace overthinking with feeling and performance with resonance, this conversation offers a grounded, human path forward.
If this resonated, follow the show, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a rating or review. Your feedback helps more people find these tools and start their own return to embodied connection.
