The holiday season can mean many things to different people: a Festival of Lights and eating latkes 🕎, sweeping out the old to welcome the new ⛤, Brussels sprouts and bad cracker jokes 🎄.

And while it can be a time of joy, the festivities aren’t always ‘chestnuts roasting on an open fire’ vibes...especially in the face of another wave of COVID-19. So who better to guide us through it than Rev Deb Connor.

She’s popped onto the podcast this week to offer words of wisdom – takeaways that’ll see you through the festive season and beyond.   

Here’s why you need to tune in
If you’ve ever felt compelled to take action, the story of how Rev Deb’s books and paintings come to be will resonate. If this time of year stirs up a whole heap of emotions, Rev Deb has an invitation for us all. And if you find yourself either reflecting on the past year or looking ahead to 2022, Rev Deb and our chief TechPixie Joy have some brilliant suggestions that you can implement right now! 👏

Here’s what to listen out for:

[03:16] Rev Deb explains Daoism.

[05:43] Hear the incredible story of how Rev Deb’s first book came to be.

[12:09] Can you be the presence of love?

[19:35] What can we do to combat loneliness and isolation?

[25:07] The otherworldly experience of being an intuitive artist. 

[28:16] Learning the lesson that we get to choose again.

[33:07] Why did Rev Deb join TechPixies?

[35:19] Why TechPixies does so much more than teach social media.

[40:07] How you can get ready for 2022. 

And if you feel 2021 has whizzed by, remember, as Rev Deb says, you always get to choose again. ❤️

What are you thankful for? It seems like a simple enough question, doesn’t it? You can probably list several things that you’re grateful for right off the bat:

🙏 Family
🙏 Friends
🙏 Health
🙏 Freedom
🙏 Being out in nature
🙏 Your hairdresser 😏

You get the picture.

But have you ever really thought about being grateful no matter what? That moment when the chips are down, and you’re still able to acknowledge and give thanks for all the good things that are happening in your life?

Here’s why you need to tune in

In this ‘it’s so good, you’ll want to re-rewind it’ episode, our chief TechPixie Joy Foster is giving a mini masterclass on the connection between gratitude and abundance and how you can tap into it. You’ll hear how practicing gratitude, no matter what, can help you unlock the door to abundance... and abundance is just there waiting for you – you just need to look inwards and see it.

Here’s what to listen out for:

[01:58] Learn more about the history of Thanksgiving.

[06:23] Discover the different levels of gratitude.

[09:00] Why you might need to hit the pause button.

[13:14] You need to hear this definition of gratitude.

[20:16] What is the definition of abundance?

[22:38] You have power over your thoughts.

[24:30] Are you experiencing true abundance in your life?

[35:26] Why you need to start noticing what you’re noticing.

Isn’t it time you said goodbye to sitting in a place of lack and moved instead to a life of gratitude and abundance?

Isn’t it bad enough that we have to deal with the little voice inside our head (you know the one – the inner critic that can be as savage as the Strictly judges branding a Paso ‘pedestrian’. 💃 Ouch!) without those closest to us adding fuel to the fire? Those innocent, throwaway comments made about our character or personality that we silently adopt as limiting beliefs that then hold us back.

But if you want to hear how our guest on the podcast this week cracked her biggest limiting belief and is now putting all sorts of dreams into action as a result, you need to hit play on this week’s episode. ▶️

Here’s why you need to tune in

Annmarie Miles is a woman on a mission. With the help of TechPixies, she realised that anything was possible if she took action, and she’s now the proud host of her own podcast as well as the owner of a business that helps the tech-shy become tech-savvy. And with TED talks and a speaking career in her sights, her future is looking pretty rosy right now. 🌈

Here’s what to listen out for:

[02:00] Why Annmarie believes there is nothing beyond her reach.

[04:10] Why you need to know what you would really love.

[06:04] Annmarie discusses her biggest limiting belief.

[08:49] The power of gratitude.

[12:04] Annmarie talks about launching her podcast.

[17:09] How Annmarie is helping people with tech and social media.

[20:08] Buy Annmarie a coffee.

[22:36] How does a quantum leap in your life work?

[25:30] What is brain priming?

If you’ve got a dream and that small voice is holding you back, we’ll leave you with this mic-drop moment from our chief TechPixie Joy: “It’s about taking daily action; it’s about making that pursuit happen. But it’s really about believing that the thing that you want is actually possible.”

Pivot. No, we’re not talking about the one with Ross, Rachel, Chandler and the sofa (comedy gold as far as we’re concerned). We’re talking about the major 180 TechPixie Ceri Gage has done in the past year.

Going from being on Government benefits and living with her parents to having a business with a waiting list and renting a place of her own is pretty good going for someone who admits they were full of self-doubt just over a year ago.

Like many, supply teacher Ceri was hit hard by the pandemic. With schools shut and her furlough at an end, she pondered what to do next. But then tutoring her friends’ kids sparked an idea that would transform Ceri’s life… with a little bit of help from TechPixies, of course.

Here’s why you need to tune in

This is the story of how Ceri saw an opportunity and went for it; how she put a stop to her 60-hour weeks to claim back her weekends; how her business is now giving her the income she had before the pandemic (and how she’s set her sights on earning more!!!). This is the story of how TechPixies helps transform lives.

Here’s what to listen out for:

[01:02] Hear Ceri reveal how she was affected by the pandemic.

[02:46] How a TechPixies scholarship turned Ceri’s life around.

[05:37] How Ceri overcame her fear of raising her prices.

[09:14] Ceri charts a path to financial independence.

[12:04] How Ceri’s lead magnet helped her grow her mailing list.

[20:53] Ceri talks about how she’s growing her business.

[27:56] You will love these final words of wisdom.
 
In the words of this TechPixie, “if you have a dream, just go for it… because if you have a dream and you’re willing to work for it, you will get there.” Tune in to the full episode now!

What if you could leave your salaried job and know that within six months you could earn your entire yearly salary? Not only that, but you’d do so by doing something you loved with the flexibility to manage your time as you saw fit?

It’s the dream, right?

Julia Heffer, our podcast guest this week, is living that very dream, working for herself as a branding consultant and helping her clients get on brand and stay on brand. But Julia is the first to admit that without TechPixies she might still be in that salaried job, not fulfilling what her heart was telling her to do.

Here’s why you need to tune in:
This episode is the story of how Julia fought the fear and did it anyway, how she found the confidence and courage to strike out on her own, and how Instagram helped her to do it. Julia will even point you in the direction of the lead magnets (aka freebies) she uses to convert her followers into a loyal community. And, trust us, these freebies are so cool – you have to check them out.

Here’s what to listen out for:

[02:56] Julia is advised to play the long game.

[03:56] What stopped Julia from going it alone?

[07:07] Hear what’s changed for Julia now she’s working for herself.

[10:51] Why the language of gratitude is so important. 

[13:06] The power of the TechPixies community. 

[17:26] Julia talks about her plans for the future.

[20:14] Julia reveals her top tips for winning clients through Instagram.

So, what are you waiting for? Is 2022 going to be the year you start living your dream?
