You’re feeling stressed? Meditate! You’re overthinking? Journal! You finally want to achieve your goals? Visualize! 

Although these pieces of advice might be constructive in some cases, we should remind ourselves of the importance of feeling comfortable with discomfort.

Besides, discomfort is an integral and unavoidable part of being human, especially during certain situations - including positive ones - such as personal growth, adapting to new and healthier habits, healing and letting go.

In this podcast episode, I’m sharing a step-by-step guide on how to feel more comfortable with discomfort, alongside real-life examples which are personal to me.

Feeling knocked out by a viral infection and by tonsillitis, I’m sharing my personal experience with how to make time and space to recover from illness - which I experience as particularly challenging, considering the workaholic who I am.

To clarify, I’m neither intending to downplay the possible risks of being a workaholic on our health, nor do I intend to glorify, euphemize and humblebrag about being a workaholic. In fact, refraining from being a workaholic counts amongst my areas of improvement which I'm in the process of improving. Like all other human beings, I’m a work in progress.

This episode is specifically dedicated to my fellow workaholics who are battling the current flu season. Let’s go! ;-)

What are your most effective recommendations when it comes to recovering from illness? I’m curious to learn about these from you, through the contact form linked in the general podcast description.

Reflecting on successful business relationships in my own career, I concluded that they all have a set of common denominators - one of which is trust:

A client signs an agreement with you as a solution provider because they trust you and that you’re able to help them achieve their business goals. 

You hired your team of content creators because you trust them and that they’re able to help you raise awareness of solutions you developed to help your community.

You found and run your business because you trust yourself and your ability to make a change in your community.

Stephen Covey, a US-American businessman, educator, author and speaker, shared some wise words on building trust: ‘The process of building trust begins with yourself, with what I call self-trust and with your credibility, your own trustworthiness. If you think about it, it’s hard to establish trust with others if you can’t trust yourself.’

In this podcast episode, I’m introducing you to 10 strategies on how to build trust in business relationships.

Setting expectations and boundaries enables us to be in the best possible position to achieve our goals and overall, to be in a healthy and satisfied state. 

The more aware we are of our own expectations and boundaries, the more focused we can be on the action items and attitudes required to actually meet them and the more deeply we’re aligned with our intuition and our authentic self.

Therefore in this podcast episode, I’m walking you through expectation-setting strategies with others...and with ourselves.

On a scale from 0 to 10, how comfortable do you feel with setting expectations and boundaries? I’d be delighted to learn from and with you via the contact form which is linked in the general podcast description above.

ASMR (abbreviation for ‘Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response’) counts amongst the most popular trends, especially on social media.

ASMR is commonly described as a combination of positive emotions and feelings and as a tingling sensation which some people experience in response to certain auditory or visual stimuli.

Examples of ASMR triggers include whispering, speaking softly and listening to gentle sounds such as the crinkling and folding of certain materials like paper. 

For an extra engaging experience, this podcast episode is delivered to you with an ASMR-inspired communication style and voice, so we can both kick off the new year in a soothing manner. ;-)
