Confidence Matters

Shadab Mughal has a very successful career in finance; but like so many of my guests, Shadab knew something was missing from her life.

Since childhood, Shadab has had an almost insatiable quest for knowledge about life, nature, how our minds work and how we are connected to the Universe.

In 2015, Shadab followed this quest to explore the complexities of her own mind. A journey of self-discovery. Shadab believes that our purpose in life is part of a divine plan. When we are not following the path laid out for us, we feel unfulfilled. We feel a distant longing but we are not sure what it is.

Shadab's journey led her to become a mind and empowerment coach alongside her full-time career. On top of that, she is the founder of 'Infinite Mind Academy.'

Shadab joins me in this week's conversation to discuss her journey of self-discovery and how she started the 'Infinite Mind Academy.'

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.
