Motherhood changes everything — but it doesn’t have to erase you.In this honest, feel-seen episode, new mama Tamara sits down with co-host Judy, a seasoned mom of two, to talk about the identity shift no one prepares you for after having kids. We unpack the messy middle of motherhood: learning who you are now, balancing ambition with family life, letting go of outdated timelines, and realizing that growth doesn’t stop — it evolves.This is a conversation about choosing yourself without guilt, redefining success on your own terms, and understanding that age is just a number — especially when you’re becoming more you than ever.Whether you’re a new mom, a mom of many, or simply navigating your next chapter, this episode is your reminder: you’re allowed to want more and love your life as it is.🎧 Listen now on Apple Podcasts & Spotify @balancednotboringpodcast🔔 Subscribe to Balanced Not Boring for real conversations about modern life, wellness, and womanhood

Is this the loneliest we’ve ever been?In this cozy, honest episode, Judy and Tamara reflect on modern loneliness — the kind that exists even when you’re constantly connected, scrolling, and “keeping up.”We talk about how social media quietly reshapes our capacity for friendship: how being inundated with information, updates, and comparison can leave us emotionally maxed out — with less energy for real connection.From friendship changes in our 30s, to motherhood, to connection fatigue, to the loss of spontaneity, this conversation is for anyone who feels close to people online… but far from them in real life.Maybe connection doesn’t need to be constant.Maybe it just needs to be real.🎧 Share this episode with someone you miss — or comment “Friend” and we’ll send it your way.Chapters00:00:00 – Welcome to Balance Not Boring & today’s topic00:00:20 – Are we more connected yet lonelier than ever?00:01:45 – The loss of spontaneity & unannounced visits00:04:15 – Why phone calls feel draining in modern life00:07:28 – Ambition, FOMO, and the nonstop pace of adulthood00:10:46 – Community, neighbors, and why village life disappeared00:13:25 – Childhood friendships vs friendships in your 30s00:16:20 – Social media, overstimulation, and emotional burnout00:19:32 – Disconnection, virtual friendships, and growing isolation00:22:34 – Tech, the future, and longing for a slower life00:25:22 – Burnout, boundaries, and protecting your energy00:27:34 – Accepting changing friendships as you grow00:30:45 – Letting go, maturity, and emotional vs logical thinking00:33:10 – Being your own best friend and narrowing your circle00:36:12 – How this friendship and podcast came together00:36:58 – Final reflections on evolving friendships & priorities

🚨 What if the real reason you’re tired, bloated, or “off” has nothing to do with stress — and everything to do with how far we’ve drifted from how our bodies were designed to live?This week on Balanced Not Boring, we sit down with Lena Khalil, the powerhouse who chose to leave university early. On paper, she’s now the 27 year old PR founder of LNA Consultancy, working with the UAE’s biggest names. Behind the scenes?

The result? More energy, more clarity, more alignment.We go there:🔥 when others say “it’s nothing” but your body screams otherwise🔥 why listening to your own intuition is better than outside noise when it comes to your well-being🔥 why extreme feminism + hustle culture might actually be wrecking women’s health🔥 how to live “non-toxic” without spending $$$ on wellness fads⚠️ Disclaimer: this is Lena’s personal story, not medical advice. warning, this episode might just wake you up, in the best way possible.Listen now on apple, Spotify & YouTube @balancednotboringpodcast 🎧Follow us on Instagram at @balancednotboringpodcast
