Information and technology serves its purpose, we have every bit of knowledge at our fingertips, but at what cost? We've become consumers that are driven by escapism and perfectionism - the best clothes, education, tech, skin care, holidays which is all great - IF we are fulfilled and feel whole within.

But most dont - mental health is at an all time low, I believe we are being called to go within. I want to make going within the new norm, it's time we tune out from the noise and distractions, and tune in to your inner guidance system - your intuition.

That part of you that knows you better than you know yourself! The part of you that you often silent in fear of speaking out or pissing other people off. 

But Inner peace IS the new success! In this episode we will be looking at the all important how's and whys.

Lets dive in!

The number one thing that holds you back from achieving huge success and fulfillment in life is… You!! And in this episode were going to deep dive into why we cockblock ourselves from doing what we want and taking action, and how to… I suppose the word is un-cockblock yourself (not sure that name will be featured in any upcoming hypnosis recordings but!!) as I share 5 steps on how to get out of your own way, awaken more courage and start taking aligned action!

The definition of cockblocking (yes I googled this!) : "Prevent someone from succeeding in their attempt to engage in a particular activity".

There's one thing someone else getting in your way, but when you’re doing it to yourself, it’s all the more frustrating. 

For most, it often looks like procrastination, perfectionism, overthinking, self-doubt, being your own biggest critic, lack of motivation - and what the biggest driver behind them all is FEAR! 

Majority of fears stem from childhood. Did you know that the biggest fear people have is public speaking? A poll done in America shared the results that public speaking was the number #1 fear, and death was #2! This to me means people would prefer to be the one in the coffin, rather than reading the poem or obituary at the front of the church!!!

Why is it we fear judgment and cockblock ourselves? We deep dive into this in todays episode!

It takes courage to do the inner work, but my gosh is it worth it. Here are 5 steps you can take to help you get out of your own way, nurture your inner child and start taking the aligned steps towards success and your goals.

1. Get clarity - what is it you want to do, be or have? Write it down and know what the outcome would be - how would you know it’s achieved? What would that feel like?

2. Number 2 - get connected to the feeling you will have as you work towards the goal or intention, and how you’ll feel when its achieved. We’re not looking for “happy” or great! I mean how will you REALLY feel inside? Who will you text first ? How will you celebrate? What will you be thinking and feeling when your head hits the pillow after achieving what you set out to? 

3. Write a letter to your 8 year old self sharing all the reasons why you’re excited to be going on this journey and achieving these goals. Let your inner child know it’s coming on this journey with you, it’s safe and how you will protect her/him/them. Your inner child is closely connected to your nervous system, reaffirming safety and exciting is a game changer in getting out of your own way.

4. Take the goal - and break it down into step by step - what’s the first 3 steps you need to take? Forget the rest and do those. Evidence you’re safe, celebrate, go again.

5. Feel the fear and do it anyway - Brené Brown says "True courage comes when we decide to take a risk without knowing the outcome. It means being showing up and letting yourself be seen, despite the risk. When you show up in this way, you open yourself up joy and connection, but you can only do it by accepting that there could be pain".

I hope you enjoy this episode and the reflection exercise piece!

In today’s episode we’re talking about why it’s important to throw a twist into the old advice that you’ve no doubt heard said to you, or someone else - and that is ‘Just fake it till you make it!’ and why this advice could actually be holding you back from being in your authentic power, and living in alignment to your ultimate purpose. 

I attended an empowerment event that had an epic speaker line up, the audience all sat on pins looking at this incredible woman who had made her business a huge success and she spoke about confidence. - sat on edge of seats waiting for worldy advice, afterall, when you’re stepping out you’re comfort zone in any area of your life, confidence is a part of the secret sauce to success, especially in business.

She shared the words "If you don’t feel confident in yourself or find yourself procrastinating - just FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT!!" The premise was that if you fake it enough, it will become natural one day and a part of who you are.

Over the years I’ve realized one thing - yes you can fake it till you make it, but when you make it…it can feel inauthentic and like you’re stood on the top of a skyscraper wanting to celebrate the heights of success - but the foundations the building is on, is rocky and not secure.

This is what led me to the ‘try FAITH it till you make it!!’

When you chose to have faith in something, it means that you may not be able to physically see, feel, taste or touch it, success, business, health, but you TRUST that its there or on its way.

I began to practice having faith in my abilities, faith in the unfolding of the journey, faith that if I’m my authentic self, the right people will resonate and want to work with, buy from, be a part of what I’m doing, Because like attracts like.

Faking brought in more of that - fake people, faithing brought in those aligned kick ass kinda souls.

So I pass this over to you to reflect on, what area of your life, business or career could you have more faith in? What could you let go of the outcome, focus on the things that are important and TRUST in yourself?

I hope you enjoy this episode and I look forward to catching you on the next!

In this episode we're going on a deep dive into why your wounds hold your wisdom, and how when you begin your own healing journey from the inside out, your past becomes a part of your power, and you’ll no longer be trapped in fear of judgment, guilt, shame or blame. And instead you’ll be free to feel at peace with who you are, and the journey you’ve been on - no matter how rock n roll or painful it has been. 

We often get told from a young age to dust yourself off, let it go, get over it, there’s people worse off than you in the world… Basically, bury how you’re feeling, crack on and ideally with a smile. Yet so many people are walking around with hidden wounds from their past.

With the career I have in life and business mindset coaching, I get to hear the inner experiences and deep wounds that have been silenced and lugged around for decades, I myself did the same. Most people wait for breaking point to go within and do the inner healing work, but it hasn’t got to be that way.

Your wounds carry SO much wisdom, but in the moment it's painful, can often feel shameful, guilt, regret, and it’s near impossible to see how the life events could possibly hold any form of light, never mind wisdom or personal power. But come with me as I share a very personal story with you, for no other reason than to empower you to reflect and look at your own life events and the wounds you may have - and see how actually, even right now, you may be sat on so much unawakened wisdom.

It's safe to do the healing work and you can grow and heal, scars are a beautiful reminder of what you've been through and who it's made you into.

Living with wounds and trauma takes strength, owning and working through it awakens another level of strength and that you carry forward like a torch. Lighting the way for others - breaking generational chains of silencing and burying. 

The clients I work with share with me how they’ve never told anyone this before - the lightness that comes flooding after is incredible to witness.

Whether it’s your health, wealth, relationships, business - no matter what you've been through, SO MUCH WISDOM LIVES WITHIN YOUR EXPERIENCES. 

Powerful exercise - create a timeline of milestones and pivotal moments in your life - the good, the bad and the Fugly!  What was each milestone moment leading you towards? What lessons can take from the experience? 

Comment or reach out with your thoughts and reflections, it's the safest space to do so. Can’t wait to catch you on the next episode!
