From preconception and pregnancy to postpartum recovery and kids’ nutrition basics, Shelley shares her practical and evidence-informed insights to help women feel confident in nourishing themselves and their families. We unpack: Key nutrients to focus on during preconception and pregnancy How to support energy, hormones, and recovery in the postpartum phase Simple, real-food strategies for busy mums Setting up healthy food foundations for kids — without perfection or pressure Shelley’s approach is refreshingly realistic — no extremes, no overwhelm, just doable nutrition that fits real life and motherhood. Tune in for: grounded advice, myth-busting, and the gentle reminder that good nutrition is about consistency, not perfection

Perfectionism and the all-or-nothing mindset — we’ve been there. In this chat, we unpack how striving to “do it all perfectly” can hold you back, and share the tools and mindset shifts that helped us find more balance and ease.

In this episode, we sit down with Shellee Panada — mindset and trauma coach specialising in NLP, subconscious reprogramming and breathwork. We dive into the power of mindset work, how trauma can shape our behaviours, and what it really takes to heal on a deeper level. Expect honest chat, practical insights, and a few lightbulb moments along the way.

In our very first episode, we’re sharing the story behind The Balance Society — who we are, how this podcast came to life, and what you can expect from the episodes to come. From our own experiences in health, motherhood and finding balance, to the conversations we can’t wait to have with inspiring guests — this is just the beginning.
