Even when I had time to rest, I’d find something else that needed doing. I AM BALANCED helped me notice that habit and start making room for myself. I’m learning to enjoy a break without mentally running through my to-do list.
Does this sound familiar?
ARE YOU ALWAYS TAKING CARE OF EVERYTHING ELSE?
You keep going. You keep saying yes. You keep making things work. But eventually, something has to give. Balance begins when you start including yourself in your own life.
Tap the ones that sound like you.
It's not for you if you're looking for a quick fix that does the work for you, you can't set aside an hour a week for yourself right now, or you're in crisis or burnt out to the point of needing medical or mental-health support. Please speak to a qualified professional first; coaching isn't a substitute for therapy.
What happens if you leave it?
You keep pushing. Keep giving. Keep saying “I'll slow down later.” But later rarely comes.
What comes instead is stress, overwhelm, exhaustion and, sooner or later, burnout. Eight weeks from now you'll be eight weeks further on regardless. The only difference is whether you spent them running on empty, or refilling the tank.
Your coach
HI, I'M Lindi Harmse.
I’m an Identity Coach in Johannesburg, working online with women in midlife all over the world. I help women who’ve been last on their own list for too long get clear on who they are now. We start by calming your body, then build your next chapter one small step at a time.
I'm a Licensed I AM Coach. That means I AM BALANCED follows a set structure, with specific exercises for each week, rather than an open-ended chat about how you feel. You won't be left guessing what to do next.
Three quick questions
WHERE WILL YOU FEEL IT FIRST?
You'll do all eight sessions, in order. Answer three questions to see which one is likely to make the biggest difference for you.
What feels most out of balance right now?

IN THEIR OWN WORDS.
The Wheel of Life showed me how much attention I was giving to work and how little I was giving to my health. I started with a few realistic changes rather than another ambitious plan. That made it easier to keep going.
I appreciated having space each week to look at what was working and what needed adjusting. The workbooks helped me move beyond saying ‘I need more balance’ to deciding what that would actually look like in my day.
I used to agree to things before checking whether I had the time or energy. Now I pause before answering. It’s a small change, but it’s helping me protect time for my family and myself.
