In this week’s solo episode of Conversations for Growth, I explore a hard but important question:

Are you unconsciously blocking the very opportunities you say you want?

So many of us talk about wanting change, whether that's a new job, a relationship, more visibility, a move, a new version of ourselves but when opportunities start to show up, we quietly pull back.
We delay. We overthink. We “wait for the right time.”

In this episode, I dive into:

• How your mindset and old stories can sabotage opportunities without you realising

• The fear behind success: not just “What if it doesn’t work?” but “What if it does?”

• A personal story of how I noticed myself blocking opportunities I said I wanted

• Why your nervous system resists change, even when it’s the change you’ve been calling in

• Gentle questions to help you spot where you might be getting in your own way

• Simple ways to start saying a real, grounded yes to what you say you want

This is not an episode about hustling harder or “fixing” yourself.
It’s an invitation to get honest, soften the self-sabotage, and take one small brave step toward the life you keep imagining for yourself.

 Take this with you:

“Where am I saying I want something while quietly blocking it at the same time?”

As the year winds down, so many of us feel that pressure, the push to do more, be more, achieve more before December ends.

But what if, instead of pushing harder, this is the moment to pause?

In this week’s episode, I invite you to step back, take stock, and honour how far you’ve already come; in mind, body, and soul.

I share a gentle reflection on the importance of rest, gratitude, and honest self-evaluation as we move into winter, a season that naturally calls us inward.

You’ll be reminded that:

• Growth isn’t always about acceleration, sometimes it’s about awareness.

• It’s okay to change your mind and let go of goals that no longer fit.

• Rest and reflection are not signs of weakness, but of wisdom.

This episode is your permission slip to slow down, breathe, and come home to yourself.

What happens when you lose trust in yourself? When your instincts feel off, your confidence is shaken, and you start second-guessing every decision?

In this episode, we explore what it really means to rebuild self-trust after you’ve been hurt. Whether it came from a trauma, relationship, a betrayal, or simply not listening to your gut, learning to trust yourself again is one of the most powerful forms of healing.

We’ll talk about:
1. Why self-trust is often the first thing to go after pain or disappointment
2. What’s happening in the brain when trust is broken
3. Simple, grounded ways to reconnect with your intuition and rebuild confidence
4. How to start believing in your own judgment again one small step at a time

I briefly share a personal experience of losing and rebuilding my self-trust, but if you’d like to hear that full story, go back and listen to the earlier episode in Season 1 on 'Narcissism' where I share it in more detail.

This conversation is for anyone learning to listen to their inner voice again even when it feels hard to do so.

This week’s solo episode is for anyone navigating disappointment, endings, or the uncomfortable space between what you wanted and what actually happened.

Tina explores how to find peace in the “no,” how to reframe rejection as redirection, and why trusting in divine timing might be the most courageous act of all.

She shares her personal reflections on letting go, surrendering control, and learning to believe that what’s meant for us won’t pass us by even when the path feels uncertain.

If you’re in your letting go era, or simply need a reminder that the universe is still working in your favour, this episode will help you ground, reframe, and find renewed hope in the process of becoming.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why disappointment doesn’t mean failure

• How to shift from resistance to trust

• What it means to see “no” as divine redirection

• How to hold faith when life doesn’t go to plan

• The mindset that transforms endings into beginnings

Listen for a grounded, heartfelt reminder:
You are not being rejected, you’re being redirected.

You finally take the leap — the job change, the new routine, the move, the boundary and suddenly, instead of feeling free, you feel… unsettled. Doubt creeps in. Your nervous system goes into overdrive. You start to question if you made the right choice.

In this week’s Motivated Mondays, I’m unpacking why change can feel so uncomfortable, even when it’s exactly what you wanted.

We’ll explore:
1. What’s really happening in your brain and body during transitions.

2. How to navigate the emotional “wobble” that comes with growth.

3.Why resistance is a sign you’re evolving, not regressing.

4. Practical ways to stay grounded while your nervous system catches up

Because change isn’t meant to feel easy, it’s meant to expand you. And when you understand that, you can meet your growth edges with more grace, patience, and trust in yourself.

Listen in, take a breath, and remember: discomfort doesn’t mean you’re on the wrong path, it means you’re becoming who you’re meant to be.

In this week’s Motivated Mondays, Tina invites you to pause and question what success really means to you.

We spend so much of our lives chasing someone else’s version of success, the job, the title, the house - only to find that the finish line doesn’t feel the way we thought it would. In this honest and reflective episode, Tina unpacks how we inherit definitions of success, what it means to build goals that align with your own values, and why real success is about feeling fulfilled, not just achieving more.

You’ll learn:

• How to recognise when you’re chasing someone else’s version of success

• Why alignment matters more than achievement

• Simple prompts to redefine success on your terms

Takeaway:
You don’t need to climb faster, you might just need a different ladder.

We all admire people who seem effortlessly confident but the truth is: they didn’t start out that way. Confidence isn’t the starting point. It’s the result.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why courage always comes before confidence  and how the small, brave choices you make today can rewire your brain to build immovable self-belief over time.

You’ll learn:
1. Why confidence is learned, not given
2. The role of courage in taking that very first step
3. How repetition strengthens your “confidence muscle”
4. A simple practice to start building courage today

If you’ve ever felt like confidence is out of reach, this episode is your reminder: you already have what it takes, you just need the courage to begin.

You don’t need to shout to be heard. In this episode of Motivated Mondays, I’m sharing how introverts and “introverted extroverts” like me can project presence, build trust, and lead with confidence, even in a room full of louder voices.

Ever walked into a meeting, networking event, or social setting and felt like the loudest person automatically takes up all the space? It can feel intimidating, especially if you’re naturally quiet, introverted, or someone who takes a little time to warm up.

But here’s the truth: presence isn’t about volume. It’s about energy, clarity, and how you choose to show up.

In this week’s episode of Motivated Mondays, I’m unpacking:

• Why introverts have a natural edge when it comes to calm authority.

• How to project confidence without forcing yourself to “be louder.”

• Practical shifts that help you set the tone in a room whether at work, in conversations, or on stage.

• What being an “introverted extrovert” has taught me about leaning into both sides of myself.

This is your reminder that you don’t need to change who you are to lead, influence, or own your space. You already have what it takes, it’s about learning how to use it.

So if you’ve ever thought, “I’m too quiet to stand out,” this episode is for you.
