This one was a lot of fun to record! Especially because this is a topic I think about often and love discussing. The idea that we are in full control of our thoughts and feelings is not entirely accurate nor is it something we should buy into without questioning...

BUT, when you convince yourself that EVERYTHING is out of your control, and then go through life on autopilot - it’ll be very difficult for you to cultivate emotional intelligence and emotional maturity.

So what does the middle ground look like? We explored it in this episode.

'Fake it till you make it' has to be one of the worst widely accepted mantras I've heard in my adult life. This approach to life messes with our sense of self (identity) more than we might realise. It even perpetuates things like imposter syndrome. Perhaps you think it's just semantics, but I believe there's more to it...lets find out!

Who am I? What do I believe in? What do I want to do? Do I even agree with this anymore? Those are just a few of the common questions that pull at us when we're questioning our identity and the roles we play in the world.

In this gem-filled episode we'll be exploring what identity is, what an identity CRISIS is, how it presents itself in your life, why I believe we're ALL experiencing it as a collective, how you can identify whether this is something you're actually going through- and what you can do about it.

This one was F**KING GOOD!

I HOPE YOU (and your ego) ARE READY FOR THIS ONE!⁣
⁣
In this juicy episode we talk all things imposter syndrome. What is it? Where the f**k does it comes from? Can you get rid of it completely? Is there some truth to it? Are you really a fraud? Did you get where you are because of 'luck'?, Do I (Africa Brooke) experience it? How can you navigate imposter syndrome, on a practical level? ⁣
⁣
This topic is one of the most highly requested, for obvious reasons - and it's something I speak about quite a lot in my work. In this episode I introduced you to some ways you can start to approach your experience with it. ⁣

As always; 'll let the episode speak for itself!⁣

Self-sabotage is a F**KER!!!!! This we know...but we don't always do it because we hate ourselves. It's usually out of self-preservation...⁣self-protection...
⁣
This has to be one of my favourite conversations with you yet. I got honest about some things that I haven't shared in such depth before. We're talking ABOUT BREAKING SELF-SABOTAGING PATTERNS...⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I'll let the episode speak for itself!!! IT'S THAT GOOD.⁣⁣

Perfectionism is something a lot of us experience. It's something many of us OVER-IDENTIFY with. It's something we sometimes see as a 'positive' thing despite it causing a lot of stress, procrastination, unfinished projects, self-criticism, over-analysing, personal/professional dissatisfaction.⁣
⁣
In this episode I break down what perfectionism is, where it stems from, how to move away from it, what you can start to cultivate instead - and I also give you some practical steps you can start to integrate into your daily life.⁣

Is this REAL!? Is Africa really back with another podcast episode. YES SHE F**KING IS! In this deliciously expansive comeback episode we are diving into all things TOXIC BEHAVIOURS.⁣
⁣
I must stress that finding out you have ‘toxic’ tendencies that are affecting you and those around you doesn’t mean you’re damaged or lesser, it just means there’s some SERIOUS inner work to do on your part...⁣⁣
⁣
Have you ever had to accept that you were the toxic potato at any point in life? Or is that where you’re at right now? Listen to this wisdom, soak it in, take what resonates, and decide the next steps step you'll take to make shifts in your life.⁣
