What if balance isn’t something you achieve—but something you continually adjust? In this episode, we unpack why the idea of “perfect balance” keeps so many people stuck, exhausted, and self-critical.

This conversation is for anyone who feels they’re failing at wellness. You’ll discover how balance can be a responsive, compassionate practice—one that honors real life, shifting energy, and changing needs without guilt or burnout.

About the Guest:
Kerisma Vere is a holistic wellness coach and author who supports people in moving away from all-or-nothing self-help and toward self-trust, flexibility, and sustainable quality of life.
