Back to EpisodesSpeed Was My Advantage. Now It’s My Kryptonite. It’s Becoming Yours Too (Jo Moment)
Description
Before you blink and 2026 is already underway, join our January 23rd workshop to uncover the unconscious rules shaping your work and redesign how you lead, respond, and create space in your career: www.balanceinstitute.com/rules
We explore how speed becomes a nervous system rule that feels like safety, why AI amplifies it, and what it costs when pace outruns capacity. We share practical ways to upgrade the rule so you keep your edge without burning out or abandoning yourself.
• speed as competitive advantage and hidden safety rule
• the anxiety of slowing down and earning rest
• AI as productivity amplifier and risk to nervous system limits
• signs of dysfunction including numbness, irritability and hollow wins
• habit of slowing for others while abandoning ourselves
• the dream metaphor of leaving without our shoes
• the upgrade: keep speed, remove it as the dominant rule
• practical shifts to build safety beyond pace
“I'm unpacking these rule upgrades in my free workshop starting January 23rd. Help you build safety in places other than speed and create the space and agency so many women are craving.”
The Balance & Beyond Podcast Hosted by Jo Stone, founder of The Balance Institute
For women who are already succeeding, but beginning to wonder if they're willing to keep losing themselves in the process.
We know high achievers, because we are one. This podcast draws on Jo's 20 years in global leadership and thousands of hours coaching executives and ambitious women: the patterns she sees, how to untangle them, and what it actually takes to keep your success without paying for it with yourself.
If something landed today, there's more where that came from.
And if you know a woman this would resonate with, send it her way.
