What is your inner critic trying to tell you?

In this episode I share how I turned my inner critic into one of my best friends, and use it as one of my greatest resources to take action in a way that is in line with what I truly want in my life. I hope this resonates with you, and the book I cite is The Chimp Paradox by Professor Steve Peters: https://chimpmanagement.com/books-by-professor-steve-peters/the-chimp-paradox/

Social media! What's the point?!?!

In this episode I let you into my train of thought as to why anyone should bother posting on social media! It's oversaturated, so much noise, and compared to others it's easy to feel very VERY inferior! So what keeps me going? WHat could you have in your minds eye to keep you motivated, centered and avoid all the drudgery that posting can create.

How do you deal with change?

Well, this is a unique opportunity to let you into how I deal with change in actual real-time! 2 hours before filming this episode, I found out The Voice Kids wasn't going to be coming back for 2024. Instantly out of the job! I wanted to share with you my thoughts, how I'm coping and give you the rawest, most honest reaction to the situation to hopefully give you some insight, as well as comfort that we all go through this in one way or another!

What is it that YOU want?

I spent the first 15 years of my playing (and arguably 26 years of my life!) looking to everyone else to find what would make me happy, where I should be putting my energy and how I should be living my life. It was only at a crisis point that I chose a different way, and started looking inside and listening to that little voice inside. Turns out that was the most important voice of all. In this episode I share my journey with it all, and the pain and struggle that still exists in me.

How do you eat well on tour?

Keeping on top of eating fairly healthily on the road can be a nightmare! There's not always great options, or sometimes there's great and very tempting options, plus you're working, so you deserve a treat every now AND then, or just all the time! We're tired, we just want something nice, easy, breezy, beautiful, and if often affects out waistlines, energy levels, and general mood.

In this episode, I share how I try to make my on tour eating as beneficial as possible with some little tricks I've learnt along the way! Let me know how you eat well on tour too!
