Building Confidence

After losing 3 jobs in 3 years, Srinidhi wondered what was wrong with her. She started to spiral downwards as anxiety kicked in. Not wanting to burden her family with her worries, Srinidhi hired a life coach. Within two sessions, Srinidhi had come to the realisation that every decision she had made in the past had turned out to be right for her. Perhaps losing her job was right for her, too?

This realisation gave Srinidhi the courage to step into the unknown. To do things she had not attempted before. To step outside her comfort zone.

In this conversation, we are talking about stepping into the unknown, identity and what is 'I'.

Yay! This is my first solo episode. I aim to add a solo episode every month so let me know what you think.
Sometimes, we think we are being kind by being helpers to everyone. 
The person we are not helping, though, is ourselves.
Why is that?
Why do we sometimes put ourselves last?
People-pleasers have a fear of being rejected and this motivates them to say yes to requests even when they want to say no.
Over time, they become resentful of being put upon and this resentment can build up.
It can cause bad feelings, as well as mental and physical stress.

In the episode I talk about what people pleasing is, where it stems from and how you can start to stop doing it.

This week, the very popular Dr Mos returns to the podcast. 
Dr Victor Mosconi is the founder of Transformation Haven Coaching. He has a PhD in psychology and he specialises in imposter syndrome.

In this episode, we are talking about affirmations; those positive statements that are supposed to change your life if repeated to yourself regularly. But do they work?
Well, we think so, and I have seen success using them in my own life.
They work because our reality is based on what we believe to be true. Beliefs are formed when our brain sees things validated. So the more we hear positive things  (or negative things), the more it becomes our reality. 

Listen in to find out what affirmations are, how to use them and what possible benefits there are.

Just after the birth of his son four years ago, Gary Smith had a row with his wife. Angry, Gary slammed the door and walked out of the house.

That was the sort of thing Gary had witnessed many times in his childhood. He realised that he didn't want his son to grow up fearing him like Gary had feared his father. Gary made a decision then and there to change.

Gary joins me to talk about his healing journey and the coaching practice he is now setting up for new fathers in the same position. Gary shows that breaking the generational chains that tie us to a dysfunctional cycle is possible.

Allan Howard spent his early life in Chicago in the 1980s. His neighbourhood was one of deprivation and gang culture. Allan's mother was determined to provide a different life path for her only son.

Allan joined me back in June 2023, for the episode 'The Strength of a Mother'.  He told the story of how this single mother worked so very hard to enable them to move to a better area and for Allan to attend a decent school. She wanted him to have chances that other kids in the area never got.

Allan returns in this episode to take up the rest of the story. How did Allan fare?
Life in the 'hood' may teach you survival and to be street wise but Allan says that it can not teach you what life is truly about.

Allan says he always strives to be an example of what is possible no matter where you come from.

Vera Ilnyckyj was in the middle of healing after her divorce when she suffered another blow; she lost her job too.
At the time, Vera felt like a failure. She felt lost, with the tags that defined her identity stripped away.
As she continued to heal, Vera began to see her situation, not as a loss of identity but as an opportunity to create a new one. She set about remembering her values and rediscovering the things she loved to do in life. She discovered herself as a person.
Vera then founded Practical Wisdom Coaching to guide mid-life women in navigating their changes. Vera provides masterclasses, workshops, and retreats as well as 1 to 1 coaching. She is also a certified yoga nidra teacher.

Self-love isn't about vanity or selfishness; it's about understanding and appreciating who you are at your core. It's a journey of transformation and resilience, and in this episode, we're thrilled to see the return of Shruti Goel, a Jay Shetty certified life coach.
 
A champion of self-love, Shruti shares her journey and provides practical tips on how you can cultivate this transformative power in your life.

We bring to light the concept of mother hunger and its impact on self-confidence.
We explore the beauty of self-validation, the comfort it can bring to our inner selves, and how it can help fill the void that mother hunger may have created. You'll learn to appreciate your magnificence and the importance of daily reminders, be it through songs or notes, in this journey towards self-validation.

But it doesn't stop there. This episode also emphasizes the importance of connecting with your higher self to silence the internal critic that often hinders our progress. We touch on the power of gratitude and its role in our journey towards self-love.  It's time to embrace the power of self-love.

Shruti can be contacted via her Instagram @shselflovecoach
Listen to her podcast 'Create Your Joy' here
Create Your Joy is based on a unique concept to talk about coaching techniques to deepen self-love by exploring the lyrics of inspiring songs from a variety of genres.

Have you ever felt  trapped in a box with no way out?  This is how my guest this week, Naiada Meci, saw her life.
 In a riveting conversation, we explore Naiada's journey - from a restrictive childhood in Albania to a near-death event in the US - that led to her spiritual awakening and healing process. She shares her insights on building her confidence through healing, encouraging all of us to let go of past pain so we can live a happier, more fulfilling life.

Naiada's story takes an intriguing turn as she discusses her transformation through motherhood. This wake-up call prompted her to break free from negative cycles, and brought her to the path of self-awareness. Hear her talk about the willingness needed to change and heal, to ensure her daughter doesn't repeat the same patterns. We also dive deep into the reasons why people seek her help - from unresolved childhood traumas to unhealthy relationship patterns.

Naiada,  now a life coach, emphasizes the significance of investing in oneself and she  extends an invitation for a free 30-minute coaching session. Listen in to gain insight and start your own healing journey. Join us for another inspiring conversation!
