  • EP 112: How to make time for yourself as an entrepreneur (and why it's essential)

    Have you ever found yourself caught up in the relentless pursuit of tasks and strategies, believing they're the lifeblood of your business? I've been there too. But here's the truth: YOU are the most critical element. Without your well-being, everything else falters.

    I've witnessed burnout firsthand, both in myself and in the women I've worked with. Bedridden and forced into recovery, they learned the hard way that neglecting self-care is not an option. So, let's dispel the myth that prioritising your wellbeing is a luxury. Here’s what we you can expect from this episode:

    • How to create a business with space to prioritise your holistic wellbeing

    • How a healthy mind and body have a direct impact on your business outcomes

    • The single most important aspect of your business (spoiler alert - it’s YOU)

    • Practical steps to implement self-care as a busy Entrepreneur

    • EP 111: Signs you're self-sabotaging and how to overcome it and reach your next level

      Explore the concept of self-sabotage with me—how it manifests in both personal life and business, and how it may be hindering your growth without even realising it.

      Take as listen as I discuss:

      • Various forms of self-sabotage, including procrastination, self-doubt, and even physical symptoms like illness that arise as barriers to success.

      • The reasons behind self-sabotage, linking them to beliefs and the nervous system's response to unfamiliar change, suggesting that self-sabotage serves as a mechanism to return to a state of perceived safety.

      • Strategies to identify and address self-sabotage

        Gain insights into holistic practices you can apply in order to navigate through their self-sabotaging behaviours, ultimately guiding you on a path to achieving their goals in life and business.

        • EP 109: Reminder for coaches, healers and leaders: Who you are and how you show up is a choice

          In this short but powerful episode of Alive and Thriving, you will navigate through the intricate layers of self-discovery and empowerment as I guide you through a self-reflection of the labels and identities that you have embodied.

          Throughout this episode, we'll delve into three key areas:

          1. Understanding Labels and Roles: We'll uncover the subtle yet profound impact of past labels and roles on our present behaviours and beliefs, shedding light on how these influences shape our lives today.

          2. Identifying Limiting Labels: Together, we'll bravely confront the labels we've attached to our identities, ones that may unknowingly hold us back from embracing authentic success and finding true happiness.

          3. Harnessing Energetic Archetypes: Explore the transformative concept of energetic archetypes, offering insights into seamlessly shifting roles within our businesses and lives, empowering us to embody our fullest potential.

                  • EP 103: Stepping into your internal power for a magnetic and abundant business

                    In today's episode, I share the incredible journey of women who have embraced their healing path, discovered their authentic selves, and realised that their true passions no longer align with their previous way of living. They've transformed their pain into purpose, stepping into impactful roles because they understand the profound tools at their disposal shouldn't be kept to themselves.

                    However, amidst this powerful transformation, these women face self-doubt and limiting thoughts:

                    • "Who am I to help others?"

                    • "Am I qualified enough?"

                    • "Will anyone want to work with me?"

                    • "Can I generate more than just a hobby income?"

                    • "What if I fail?"

                    • "Is running a business something people like me do?"

                      Despite these internal challenges, they begin on the next phase of their healing journey, breaking through self-imposed limitations and aspiring to embody a new identity as successful entrepreneurs. Listen to their courageous stories and insights on navigating and overcoming these common struggles that you might be able to relate to.
