In this episode of Diverse Talk Matters, Natasha Broomfield-Reid is joined by wellbeing coach and trainer Melanie Allcott, founder of Rebalance Wellbeing. Together, they explore what it really means to stay well—physically, mentally, and emotionally—in today’s “always on” world.

Drawing on nearly three decades in workplace wellness, Melanie shares her journey into wellbeing, the lessons she learned early in her career about work–life balance, and why health is the foundation for everything we do.

Core points discussed include:

• The importance of linking wellbeing with inclusion in workplace culture.
• Why perks like gym memberships and apps aren’t enough without real cultural change.
• The impact of stress, the “cult of busyness,” and how small, daily practices—like 15 minutes of rest or breathing techniques—can make a big difference.
• The role of sleep, nutrition, and regular movement in staying healthy.
• How managers can support their teams through wellbeing check-ins, boundaries, and role modelling.
• Why organisations need to ask employees what they really need, instead of assuming.
• Practical steps individuals can take—such as setting non-negotiables, using available resources, and speaking up about workload and stress.

Whether you’re an employee, manager, or business leader, this episode is full of realistic, actionable ideas to help you—and your workplace—stay well.
