Stressful days are becoming more and more the norm for many of us.

In our modern world, we are expected to be and do so much more than what is physically and practically possible.

We are constantly being pulled in all directions and continually trying to juggle everything while keeping those around us happy.

While we are doing this, we are triggering off so much stress in our own beings, which will eventually lead us to poor health and burnout.

So how can we cope better during stressful days? 

In this podcast episode, Gillian Duncan, Clarity Junction host, coach and author discusses 5 actions that you can try to help reduce and lift the cycle of stress.

So many women and mums are being pulled into the destructive cycle of relying on alcohol to help relieve stress and cope with everyday problems.

'Wine O'clock' is the new normal, acceptable trend for many.

Unfortunately, alcohol will never solve these issues and will cause more upset to our lives on many levels. 'Wine O'clock' is a dangerous message to be sending both ourselves and our children.

In this interview, Sobriety Coach, Gayle Macdonald, shares her story and journey to living an alcohol-free life and why she feels that becoming a sober mum is the best thing that she has ever done.

Listen in to discover the freedom, peace and clarity that sobriety has brought to Gayle's life, and her advice on where to start if you think that it's time to address your own drinking habits.

Let's talk about money.

It's an eye opening statistic that 90% of women will, at one point in their lives, be completely responsible for their own finances, yet so many women, even in this day and age, still rely on their partners or others, to maintain their financial wellbeing.

It's time that we learn to have a better relationship with money and understand how to make it work for us, rather than becoming trapped deeper and deeper in to consumer debt, or relying on others to make financial decisions for us.

In this interview, Ann Wilson, aka The Wealth Chef, discusses the importance of learning how to control our money flow, why it is not as hard as we are made to believe, and that financial freedom is possible, no matter your starting point.

It's time to adopt some new money habits and beliefs, and there's no time like the present to make a start.

You may have heard of the 'ripple effect' and been taught that your actions affect those around you, but do you truly understand how far this extends?

Do any of us really understand the depth of that passing of energy from one to another?

How are your individual actions affecting the world today and is this something that we should all be thinking about more?

In this podcast episode, Gillian Duncan, Clarity Junction host, coach and author discusses the topic of energy transfer and the 'ripple effect' that our actions have on society and the world as a whole.

Our modern lifestyle makes eating together as a family harder to do.

Many of us now sit eating our meals from tray in front of the television, phones and laptops, while others will grab takeaways and eat in the car!

Shift work and having young children often mean that families will eat at different times to each other, so eating around a table may be easier said than done.

There are so many advantages, however, to eating, without distractions, as a family at the dining table, and Danielle Barrett from 'Around The Table' covers these in this interview.

So listen in to discover why family mealtimes are more important that you may realise.

As women, we naturally fix things. 

We heal, counsel, give life and bring peace where there was little before.

That is part of our natural self. Our heritage of being female.

Yet, we are looked down on as being the 'weaker' or 'inferior' sex.

What do we have to do to prove this isn't the case. To be noticed and loved as equals?

We bend our natural selves to suit others and become someone that we are not.

What do we need to fix in order to be accepted both by others and by ourselves?

In this podcast episode, Gillian Duncan, Clarity Junction host, coach and author addresses the topic of what you need to fix in order to become your natural self once more.

Cooking with confidence doesn't come easily to many of us.

We often stick to preparing the simplest of meals each day, and if we have guests over, so many of us will organise pre-prepared food or serve take out!

Most of us also have a cooking disaster story we can tell, so it's no wonder we are lacking confidence in the kitchen!

Life Skills Coach, Lorraine Robles, is here to set us on the right path again, and help us to build our ability to cook with confidence. 

In this episode, Lorraine explains why it's important to be able to home-cook meals with confidence, how to make it a really enjoyable experience and some top tips to help you to build your confidence in the kitchen.

Do you really have different choices available to you in life?

Sometimes when you are on a particular path, it's hard to see the alternatives that are available to you.

You have a story stuck in your mind and you feel like a slave to it.

You feel that you don't have a choice and that life is just controlling you, rather than the other way around.

In this podcast episode, Gillian Duncan, Clarity Junction host, coach and author shares her own story of a moment in time when she was reminded that she had the control to make the decisions in her life and that there are always choices open to us. She encourages you to realise the same.

The clothes we wear can have a huge impact on your self-confidence and is such an important part of our self-care, yet so many women struggle to know what to buy or wear on a daily basis.

Many of us have never been taught how to choose clothes that suit us and that we feel comfortable. 

This means that many of us over buy outfits, choose the wrong fit or colour for our shapes and we never feel happy in what we wear.

This can have a huge knock-on effect on our self-confidence. If we are not happy in the clothes we wear, it shows on different levels.

Stylist Elizabeth Hambleton shares her views on how style is not the same as fashion, and that you can have a great closet of clothes that you feel confident wearing, without wasting time and money.
