Equivalent Too

Jealousy is a waste of one's own time and energy, because it means you are comparing yourself to someone else, believing that you lack something others have.  Instead, focus on the gifts you do have and work on obtaining and achieving what you think you need.  Everyone is on their own individual life journey, be happy for others, and you will be happy for yourself.  I've also experienced that when I'm happy for myself, I am also happy for others too!

The pursuit of being good enough can occupy most of our time and attention.  Getting into a headspace where we realise that we are already enough and that ambition is something seperate to that, kept me puzzled for many years through my studies, and still baffles me today.  Being good enough should be a baseline state, but it is a concept that often gets confused with goals and objectives in life.  I take a look at this, on this episode, to try to figure out how to deal with it.. 

Its so easy to take a look, a comment, an action of other people personally.  Doing that though, drains us of our power.  In this episode we discuss how we hold onto our empowerment, by not taking so much to heart.  

Insecurity breeds so much resentment, discomfort and fear.  In this episode we discuss how to turn insecurities around to become confident, empowered and most importantly, enough!!

Sometimes, or in my case often, we are driven by a need for recognition.  I break it down on this podcast to ask why we do it and whether its soul-enriching.. its a tricky subject and together with the perspectives from my women in STEM, we tackle it.  

This week on Innervation, I discuss trust.  It's a big topic that touches all of us.  I draw upon the perspectives of some incredible women from the STEM world to find out their take on such an important subject.  What is it?  How do we get it?  And why is it so important?  We break it down.  

Being judgemental doesn't feel good.  Placing yourself either above or below people makes you feel either superior or inferior and neither of those things lead to any form of long term inner contentment.  I take on board the perspectives of some epic women on this subject, ultimately concluding that developing compassion and kindness for yourself and others, is the key to happiness.

Whenever I'm feeling a bit low or wobbly, if I write a gratitude list, it changes how I feel.  I always start the list intending to write just 10 things, but those ten things leads to so many more.  By the time I'm finished, I feel empowered, strong and hopeful.  I discuss gratitude in this episode and we hear from a few women who use gratitude in their lives too.  It's a serious game changer for anyone who finds life a little overwhelming at times!

Empowerment - what is it?  How do you get it?  What does it feel like?  In this episode we hear from several empowered women, to find out their perspectives on the subject.  I'd love to feel empowered on a permanent basis, but sadly, it's not so easy.  Instead, I listen to people who have developed their own strategies for staying strong and resilient, no matter what is thrown at them.

What is ego and what is it's purpose?  On this episode, I discuss the usefulness of ego and delve into its pros and cons, according to the views and perspectives of some badass women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
