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.

Off-Balance Podcast | Faith, Family & Entrepreneurship
82 | Over 40 and Unapologetic with Diva Tonight host | Carlene Humphrey
What if forty isn’t a cliff but a clean pivot? We sit down with Carlene, host of Diva Tonight, to unpack the messy, liberating middle of life when your back pops, your boundaries harden, and your priorities get honest. From surprise doctor visits to surprise clarity, she shares how health scares, a toxic workplace, and a pandemic reset pushed her to claim her voice and rebuild a career on her own terms.
We dig into real-world health advocacy, from navigating fibroids and low iron to the emotional calculus of trying for a baby in your forties. Carlene makes the case for second opinions, knowing your family history, and keeping receipts on your own symptoms. Then we switch gears to work: doubling workloads without noticing, the hidden cost of “being a team player,” and the courage to say no when the job starts to cost your life. Her safety net strategy, small wins, and commitment to consistency offer a blueprint anyone can use to restart a creative project or launch a podcast.
Collaboration becomes our power move. Instead of fighting over one seat, we trade introductions, share playbooks, and grow faster together. Carlene’s story—securing dream guests, pausing and returning stronger, planning seasons around what listeners actually need, shows how community outperforms clout. We close on self-compassion: catching negative self-talk, doing the internal work, and starting fresh tomorrow if today fell apart. If you’re craving purpose, stronger boundaries, and a kinder approach to improvement, this conversation will meet you where you are and help you move forward.
If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a quick review so more people can find these stories. Your one action helps this community grow.
