Balance HQ - Chrystal Billing, Wellbeing & Career Coach

11/05/2026

I just came out of a coaching session (for me) with my Matrescence Coach & off the back of Mothers Day & in a period of huge life transition in so many ways... I feel compelled to share more about matrescence. I've learned so much & continue to learn. I definitely was not taught this in school & haven't found it to be something widely spoken about either.

❓What is matrescence?
Matrescence is the profound physical, emotional, hormonal, and social transition to becoming a mother, likened to the transformative period of adolescence.

I'm learning it doesn't happen the day we give birth. It begins when pregnancy does & it continues FOREVER (but the most profound changes are your child's age of 0-7)

I may even get some facts wrong in this post so I apologise! I've just finished listening to on the & highly recommend this ep for those wanting to understand more.

This isn't women's business. It's everyone's business. Also - Patrescence is a thing too so take a listen lads!

Personally, I felt I needed to engage someone like Claire almost a year into being a mum. I finally felt I could have my daughter looked after whilst I went to have my sessions & it was time to look after me. Only a few sessions in, the most profound learning for me is that "nothing is wrong with me" & that's a relief. Yep, I've been raging, crying, screaming, happy, grateful, so in love beyond belief - and all of that is part of matrescence. Part of the relief is having a name for this ginormous transition. I've also realised the transition isn't A ➡️ B. It's a huge squiggly beautiful mess 🌀🫟

Ahh there's so much I could share. Mamas, you're all amazing. In any shape or form. And it's the mamas in my life who've helped me immensely. So much can't be put into words.

Ok bye.

CLOSED FOR BUSINESS BABY! 🙈

In case you can't tell by the previous posts, Balance HQ is closed for business at the moment as I'm growing a human that's currently choosing its birthday 🥳

Over the past month, I've been finishing up with current coaching clients, polishing off some final resumes & cover letters, making sure my 'out of office' is set. I thought I'd actually finish up around Christmas, but turns out the career coaching space is busy this time of year!

So as Balance HQ closes up shop for a little while, I'll be learning to find my version of balance all over again. I know it will be hard at times (maybe a lot of the time) & I'm very excited about this new chapter of mine & my husband's life 🥰

I'm also excited to see how Matrescence transforms & changes me, & what this will mean for Balance HQ down the track...

Bubba Billing name guesses welcomed 👇🏼 (help us choose 😅)

January is not "too late" to reflect on last year!

I'm still reflecting & I invite you to do the same.

I took some time off for holidays so that put a pause to the reflection I started before Christmas & I've just picked it back up.

What's the rush?!

Answer: There is none. Take your time.
(Advice to self and you 😂)

It was a big year for me professionally & personally, & I bet it was for you too.

Because really - a year is always big. It's A YEAR!!!! A lot of time has passed. We're all a year older (hopefully wiser)

Just because it's Jan already doesn't mean your plan for the year needs to be set in stone. It also doesn't mean keep pushing forward without taking any time to pause & check in with yourself.

I'd love to help you out by gifting you my ✨ 2024 reflections workbook ✨

Yes it's about reflection plus it helps you to refocus your energy and priorities, guides you through a holistic life check in, and finally setting an intention for the year ahead.

Each of the Employment Service Providers and their Coaches work with people to transform their lives through employment opportunities, an outcome I very much align with.
​
I strongly believe that every human has something to offer, and finding this value and showcasing it to potential employers is where we as Coaches come in to support our clients. And although this workshop was called Resume Essentials - we went deeper!
​
𝐖𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭:
✅ ​ my triple threat approach to recruitment
✅ a person-centred approach and how we can get to really KNOW our clients (especially when they don't know themselves well)
✅ all things transferable skills
✅ how asking high quality questions leads to higher quality answers and why this matters
✅ changing perspectives on large work gaps
✅ Do's and Don't's of resumes including leveraging AI
​
Thank you to Workforce Australia Local Jobs – Perth North, Jodie Dutton and Cassie McIntyre for this opportunity, and well done bringing together over 120 people to attend the session! 👏

Feeling drained, burnt out, or out of balance—and not sure why? 😰✨

You’re not alone! Clients like Jess, Meagan, and Gemma have experienced incredible transformations by understanding their energy types and behavioural styles. 🌟 (Swipe!)

👉 Jess gained clarity on where her energy was going and discovered what truly energised her. She now manages her energy better and focuses on her highest priorities—both personally and professionally.

💼 Meagan found career clarity and validation through her eDISC analysis, which gave her the confidence to land her dream job! AND SHE DID!

🌱 Gemma used her profiling to identify her development areas and unlocked new ways to grow personally and professionally.

✨ The Extended DISC tool I use is a game-changer. It opens your eyes to how you can live and work at your best, sustainably and in alignment with what matters most. It's the bread and butter of my work, and I often recommend it to clients as a starting point when working together.

However right now this month...I'm offering a taste of the human behaviour profiling via my FREE QUIZ 🎁

Ready to take the first step toward a more balanced, fulfilling, and energised life?

Start with my FREE quiz! 💻 Link in bio 🔗

No strings attached. You can do the free quiz and nothing more. My mission is to help you build awareness so you can enjoy your life and career more than you currently are, the better!

Give it a go 🤠

What do you think? Agree or disagree? 👇🏼

If you want to manage your energy and yourself better—so you can boost your wellbeing and create more time in your life for what truly matters—start with my free quiz!
