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.

83 | Your Head Won’t Heal Your Heart, Your Body Will with | Marie-Pier
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.
