Have you ever been in a situation where you get triggered and become defensive? That defensiveness seems to take over and the situation gets worse. Good communication goes down the pan, things spiral out of control, feelings get hurt and all there seems to be is pain and disconnection...

Well, the good news is: There ARE ways to break that cycle.

You can shift your state and come back to connection with the minimum of pain and relational damage and this episode will show you how.

In this episode:

What is 'triggering' and  'defence' in terms of relationship

Discover where defensive behaviours come from so you can be more understanding of yourself and others

Hear some examples of defensive behaviours so you can know how to recognise them in yourself

I share a personal story about how my "I am Iron Man" defence got triggered and how I brought myself out of it

An important distinction for abusive situations

My 3 step approach to take yourself out of defence and back into connection

Intentional techniques that support the 3 step approach

What to do when you can't seem to let down your defences

Is pride secretly blocking you from getting what you want in life?

Have you ever heard yourself proclaim "I'm a giver, it's hard to ask for help", plus you secretly know that, even when it's offered, you find ways to bat it away?

Or perhaps heard yourself proclaim that you want more money, but at the same time find yourself sharing outraged posts on social media about 'the evil rich'?

Or perhaps there are other areas of your life where you are sending mixed messages, but maybe hadn't realised it?

If so, I think this episode is going to be an eye opener for you!

Pride has both positive and negative aspects. In episode 38 we take a look at the dark side where pride creates limitation and suffering.

We look at how pride mixed with identity can make for a sticky combination which is often hard to see in ourselves. And yet it can act as an impenetrable force-field, keeping out the very things we say we want to experience.

This episode will:

Show you how to recognise the symptoms

Help you understand why it can be so tricky to see in ourselves

Offer you some simple ways to let it go and start getting what you really want

As we go through this extraordinary time on the planet, I've noticed there are recognisable phases and patterns.

In this episode I'll be exploring the 'pandemic energy' and offering my perspective in answer to the questions:

What are they? 

How can they help us understand ourselves and how we respond to what's happening? 

And what does understanding the cycle tell us about what is to come?

Expect insights, invitations to reflect on your own life (with practical suggestions) and a few predictions...

Have you ever felt vulnerable and afraid to face the strong emotions that surface within you? Have you wondered how the heck you can face them and let them pass?

Have you been feeling like your battery has run low during lockdown and the usual way you recharge just isn't available right now? Have you wondered how you can feel yourself again as long as these circumstances continue?

Have you ever had emotions arise with no apparent reason; your mind gets busy and looks for somewhere to direct them? What if there was a way to let them pass quickly and easy without needed to understand where they come from first?

Well, the answers are here!

This episode gives you a peak behind the doors of a NPA Community Call where I'm offering support and a chance to swap NPA processes to release those lockdown issues. You'll hear how three people from that call had these experiences and were able to resolve them with NPA - so you'll know how you can do that too.

As the world starts figuring out how we all come out of lockdown, there’s a lot of uncertainty in the air and a sense of panic and stress as questions are left unanswered.

The thing is, life is filled with change and newness, so meeting the unknown and that sense of uncertainty is something we deal with all the time. You’d think we’d be cool with it by now.

And yet it seems to strike fear into the heart of us and things can all go a bit Pete Tong (That’s street rhyming slang for ‘wrong’ btw… and I’m definitely dating myself there 😂)

So in this weeks episode we look at why uncertainty can be such a challenge and create so much stress. Then I offer some practical ways to approach uncertainty that will relieve that stress and help you find your flow.

So click that play button and enjoy

This episode is a bit of a confessional as I share how I realised I had been wearing a mask, and how dropping it is setting me free.

It's an encouragement to you to examine where you wear a mask to cover up a self-perceived flaw. And how that very flaw may, in fact, be the keys to unlocking your genius.

I cover:

How masks can kill your inspiration

How to get to the real fears

The power of admitting and embracing your flaws 

Great ways to get yourself ready to drop the mask(s)

The gift of mask-free connection and flow

I’ve been hearing from a lot of people how the lockdown days are rolling into one and it’s hard not to melt into a dirge - I’ve certainly felt that way at times over the last few weeks - here in the UK, lots of people have been furloughed, the sun's out and they're chillin’ in their garden so there’s a weird kind of chill-out/holiday vibe in the ethers - in spite of the severity of what’s going on for the thousands that are directly effected by covid-19 - hence the weirdness I guess…

I often say we are in a collective bath of energy and it can be easy to slip into the general energy that’s around - which is fine if that’s what you’re called to do, however if, like me, there’s still lots of work to do or it leaves you feeling out-of-sorts or like you're letting yourself down in some way, it’s not so great.

And, as I’m hearing many folks saying there are projects that they thought they’d finish with ‘all that extra time’ but they aren’t getting done, how that’s not feeling great and they’re asking ‘how the heck do I stay motivated?’ - I wanted to do this podcast to answer that question.

And, of course, if you’re doing just fine in the lockdown, there are always times in life where a motivation block can strike, so I’ve got you covered too.

So I’m gonna cover the standard motivational advice and give you my thoughts on those… and then we’re going to take a deeper look at what’s often really going on - not just in lockdown - and I’ll give you some practical, actionable steps - actually, 3 methods - to help you get inspired, get motivated, feel great and get that shit done!

Over the last 3 episodes we’ve been diving deep into some pretty full on topics and I’ve invited you to roll your sleeves up with transformational exercises and self-inquiry… So today it’s time for some play!

I was asked by my friend Kim O’Neill to guest on her show, and (at the time of recording) she’s in the middle of running a series called Rise & Shine - 21 days of inspiration through the lockdown.

Her show “Every Day Is A New Day” is all about supporting her audience in cultivating a habit of getting in alignment - something I love to talk about, as you’ll know if you’ve listened to my show for a while. When she reached out she described her Rise & Shine series as “informal, insightful, energising, lighthearted and playful for you, me and our audience”

Well that sounded ideal and we DID have a lot of fun when we recorded it on Saturday.

In this FUN packed episode:

An alignment meditation

Hear my take on affirmations and what’s my fave affirmation during lockdown

What’s my favourite power pose

The secret to making Haagen Daaz a health food

Kim pulls some wisdom cards

I get my guitar out and rise to the challenge: “Play a song with the words Rise & Shine in it” (I actually made one up!)

With that much fun, how could I NOT share it with you!?

So, hit that play button and enjoy our second podcast takeover and let’s Rise & Shine together!
