#18 – Tony Roche – Breaking The Burnout Cycle & Building Balance

In this empowering and deeply relatable episode of The One Percent Podcast, I sit down with Tony Roche—marketing professional, husband, father of two—to uncover what happens when life quietly slips into autopilot and you’re left feeling stuck, overweight, and disconnected.

Tony had everything sorted externally: a successful career, beautiful family, and comfortable lifestyle—but beneath the surface, he was quietly burnt out. His weight was creeping upwards, his energy was declining, and the gap between external success and inner fulfilment was growing wider by the day.

This episode explores Tony’s journey of breaking the burnout cycle and intentionally building balance back into his life. From losing over 10 kilos and reclaiming his physical health, to embedding powerful routines that boosted his energy and mental clarity—Tony shares exactly what he did to create sustainable change.

He reveals the real shifts that made the difference: mindset, small habits, and ruthless honesty about what truly mattered. Today, he’s leaner, more energised, and more present as a husband, father, and professional.

If you’re feeling burnt out or think you know what you should be doing but aren’t taking action—this conversation is your call to action.

Life isn’t about knowing what to do. It’s about doing it.

It’s time to break the cycle and build your balance.
