Your branding has so much power! Everything you show to the world, from the colours you choose for your logo through to the photos you publish on Instagram, carves out your identity in the digital world.

Joining me to chat about the power and importance of branding is brand designer Alison Boote. We talk about the fears that come up when embarking on a branding journey, the positive impact it can have, the psychological underpinnings of branding decisions and the power of self-discovery in crafting a visual identity that resonates.

We also discuss how getting your branding wrong can hold you back, whereas elevating it can help you feel confident and excited to move into your next level, raise your profile and attract higher paying clients.

We cover:

• Embarking on a branding journey can bring up fears such as fear of success, fear of failure, and fear of judgement.
• Why it's important to reflect your values and future vision when branding.
• Branding as a holistic process involving self-discovery, self-awareness, and personal development.

"I can't do that, what  will people think?"
"I don't want to speak up, they might criticise me."
"I'm not going to follow my dreams, they might laugh at me."

Our fear of judgement can play a huge part in who we are, how we think, what we do and how we show up in our lives.

In this solo episode, I share my own journey of fearing judgement and delve into five areas to focus on if you are experiencing this fear, helping you to build your self-worth and stand strong in your own presence and brilliance.

I cover:

• Self-awareness - recognising how the fear of judgement plays out in your life and affects your behaviour
• Self-acceptance - accept everything about yourself, including the parts you want to work on and improve
• Releasing control and expectations - understand that you cannot control how others judge you
• The importance of focusing on your own personal power
• Increasing confidence and self-worth

Have you ever felt like your past experiences are holding you hostage, keeping you from embracing the fearless life you deserve?

In this episode I talk with energetic alignment coach and clairvoyant Kyle Haskins about how trapped energy from our past, such as beliefs, conditioning and inherited emotions, can dictate our lives at a subconscious level.  Kyle emphasises the importance of unraveling and remembering who we truly are, as well as examining our childhood to understand how it shaped our fears. He also highlights the significance of taking conscious action and aligning our values with our goals.

Once we understand and release the energy that's holding back our true selves, we can truly heal, connect and thrive.

We cover:

• The influence of childhood experience and past lives 
• Understanding subconscious conditioning and how to break free
• How taking deliberate steps to ensure our beliefs and aspirations are in harmony is crucial for personal fulfilment and success

Would you say you're a highly sensitive person? Do you prefer to recharge your energy by being alone and are you easily overwhelmed by stimuli? Would you describe yourself as an introvert?

For many people, introversion is their superpower!

My very first guest interview on the Becoming Fearless podcast is with Emma-Louise Parkes, CEO and founder of The Ambitious Introvert. We  discuss how the traits of introverts and highly sensitive people can impact various aspects of life, including work, friendships, and parenting.

We cover:

• Introversion and extroversion are on a spectrum, and individuals can fall anywhere along this spectrum.
• Introverts recharge their energy by being alone, while extroverts recharge by being around people.
• Highly sensitive people have a more receptive nervous system and can be easily overwhelmed by stimuli.
• Understanding and embracing one's introversion or high sensitivity can lead to personal growth and improved relationships.
• Managing energy and setting boundaries are crucial for introverts and highly sensitive people to avoid burnout.
