Erika De Pellegrin
Lawyer, host, mother and curious by nature.
Erika De Pellegrin is the host and founder of The Balance Theory, the self-development podcast she started in 2020 to help people own and define their own sense of balance. Six years and over 380 episodes later, the show has evolved into providing practical tools and tips on how people can confidently create the life they want.
She has a background of seven years as a corporate lawyer and has also owned multiple businesses, from e-commerce to health clinics to consulting.
Her fascination is how to create the exact life she wants without trading away what matters most. She considers herself to be a highly ambitious person, but also deeply intentional. The hustle culture of grinding yourself to the bone to have success did not align with her. She felt that if there was a way you could feed and fill yourself, you would be much better and more successful in what you're doing. She is living proof that this is true, and spends every week exploring this core question.

- Talks about
The Balance Theory After experiencing burnout and overwhelm, Erika realised by trying to do everything, she was doing nothing. So she came up with The Balance Theory, which is a unique approach to how to find and own one's own balance in life.
Feeling a void in your life School, uni, corporate law, every box ticked, and still something missing. The honest story of stepping off the path that is already laid out for you and an exercise to find what's truly missing in your life and how to start creating more meaning.
Starting from zero From no audience at all to a top 1% global show with over 600,000 followers and what showing up again and again really looks like.
Mindset for the long game For the days it feels like nobody sees your vision. Borrowing from your future self, staying confident through the plateaus and the small mindset shifts that keep you going.
Designing the life you want Your dream life doesn't happen just by thinking about it. Erika is passionate in speaking about not just the mindset shifts, but the habits and systems that make it real and make it yours.
Motherhood, a new season Her new journey in balancing, building her dreams whilst building a family.
