    • EP 21: The Simple Words You Didn't Know Are Keeping You Stuck
      Can you say "I love and accept myself"?

      For so many of us, this simple statement brings a world of discomfort with it! Take a listen to hear about how you can begin to overcome this and why these simple but powerful words might just be the key to moving you forward in your life and everything that you want to achieve.

      As promised, the homework statement that I mentioned is "Even though I am uncomfortable accepting myself, I accept that I feel this way."

    • EP 19: How To Stop Panic Attacks When Driving Your Car

      There's no good time to have a panic attack but if you've ever experienced one whilst you're driving you will know that it is a very scary and un-safe situation to be in and it's not always possible to just pull over your car to deal with it.

      The first time I panicked whilst driving my kids were in the car. It was terrifying and actually stopped me from getting behind the wheel again for a while in fear of it happening again.

      In this episode, I am going to share with you 4 super easy and safe tips that you can use to stop or shorten the life of your panic attack when you're driving your car and can't safely find a space to pull over (that is always advice number one).

      Please note that suggestions made in this episode are to be used upon your own judgement of safety.

      Get in touch with me if you give any of these a go (they are great for feeling anxious as well as panicking) it would make my day to hear if they helped you to get through it!

      • EP 16: Stress Is Unavoidable, Suffering is Optional

        Stress is unavoidable, suffering is optional

        Today, I record this episode with my sick 2 year old on my lap. Work from home mum life has had me winging it a bit the last 2 weeks and I do apologise for a few short moments in the middle where miss E makes an appearance.

        Join me today as I chat about how stress may be unavoidable but this doesn't mean you don't have choices and options when it comes to how you allow it to effect you.

        This training is highly recommended for anyone struggling with stress in their life, feeling overwhelmed or consumed by anxiety.

      • EP 15: Business. Babies. Balance

        Business, babies and balance is a struggle most Mum's know all too well.

        On this episode, I am joined by special guest Danielle Darwick as we dive into 

        • navigating motherhood with twins
        • finding balance between motherhood and holding onto your identity
        • mum guilt (Danielle has a unique perspective on this as a mother of twins both needing her attention)
        • and essential self-care when you're not getting any 'me time'
        • Danielle is a mother of twins, a high school English teacher and a copywriter from Sydney, NSW. She started her copywriting business in July 2021, during the long Sydney lockdown. A self proclaimed 'Business Cheerleader', Danielle separates herself from other copywriters by offering strategy and business guidance, as well as top quality copywriting to her clients. As a mother, she is very much still learning to 'find her feet', and navigate the whirlwind of emotions that come with caring for two little ones at once. She's not mastered it yet (in fact, she probably never will- and that's okay!) but she's starting to embrace the beautifully messy, noisy and scary journey that is motherhood!

        • EP 14: Stop Sabotaging Your Emotional Growth

          Stop sabotaging your emotional growth! I know this is easier said then done and we've all been there!

          You know what I'm talking about.. it's making the declaration that your behaviour is going to change, your attitude is going to change, your spiral of emotions is going to change! But then when it really comes to it, something blocks those changes, your actions don't align with what you're saying and something pulls you back into those old habits or patterns.

          Tune into today's episode to discover  a key reason that a lot of people overlook when making changes and how you can overcome this and break through to the new state that you desire.

        • EP12: Crazy & Terrifying Things Anxiety Did to My Body

          The way anxiety showed up in my body seemed both crazy and terrifying. When I first began experiencing symptoms of panic attacks it felt impossible that some of the things that were happening to my body could even be remotely related, I mean anxiety is all in your head right? umm.. no!

          Although some may experience anxiety through a thought pathway, once those feelings start within your body (think about those butterfly feelings) your bodies involvement in this process cannot be ignored!

          During this episode, I am going to share with you some of the frightening, un-comfortable and over powering symptoms that I experienced as a result of anxiety in the hope that if you do experience any of these you are able to remove some of the fear and control that it may have over you.

          Get in touch and let me know what symptoms of anxiety you experience that you never imagined could be related.

          *Disclaimer - the purpose of this episode is to share my personal experience and raise awareness and is not a substitute for a medical diagnosis if you are experiencing any of these symptoms.
