In this episode I share a lightening fast 3 step action plan to deal with overwhelm.   In business I have hit this wall many times when facing having to do something I don't know how to do (insert your latest challenge in life or work here!) The overwhelm of not knowing how to do something can cause you to become stuck.   And when you're stuck you're going nowhere and feeling pretty awful.   I began to notice as I worked on my mindset, that I started to overcome this so I noted down what has worked for me and its three simples steps.    In this episode I walk you through these steps which are:   1. What to tell yourself. 2. What to do physically. 3. How to think.   Overwhelm is destructive. It halts your life, your business, and puts a big dent in your wellbeing. Try these steps out next time you hit a wall and share your breakthroughs with me at [email protected]   Enjoy!

In this episode I share my focus for the year - which also happens to be my biggest life assignment so far.   It’s not going to be easy but its going to be worth it.   Ps the hard work has nothing to do with effort and everything to do with resting.   Enjoy.  

Got questions? Had breakthroughs from this series? I'd love to hear from you. Drop me a line at [email protected]

This is a huge topic, a huge game-changer when you get over it and there are a huge bunch of tools to overcome this one.   In this episode I share 2 tools I use to combat this conditioning with my coaching clients.    Its a quick 8 minute episode so you can listen to it over and over to really get it into your brain.

In this episode I share the joy of understanding your zone of genius. How, when you know what it is, you can take confident strides in your life and work towards what you are meant to do with your gifts.   I share a little of my journey to get there and how that can help you, and I read out a few rather funny excerpts from my Myers Briggs report from 2007 which was screaming that I shouldn’t be working in administration and was spelling out my zone of genius and yet I did not see it at all then.   As referenced in the podcast, if you want a brilliant way to uncover your zone of genius head to this mini 5 minutes training as part of my video series for Psychologies magazine that gives you a quick and easy exercise to find out what yours is!   https://lifelabs.psychologies.co.uk/channels/68-work/videos/58130-pychologies-video-strengths-and-weeknesses   And then let me know what you uncover at [email protected]

In this episode I share with you the valuable insights and lessons I learned that led to me hiring the first member of my team.   I share the tools I have learned and now executed around stepping into the role of “boss” - how I thought I should do it (insert 1980’s cliche of “boss” here) and then after you’ve finished cringing at that idea, how the “radical” approach I learned of relinquishing control of your business and allowing your team to blossom and bloom.   I round off by sharing how I have implemented another lesson I was taught which is to hire before you can “afford” to. I did it, and it totally worked.

Join me as I make my breakfast on this Monday morning as I share a little behind the scenes of how my husband and I navigated the scary process of taking the plunge to have him leave his 80 hour a week job and 4 hour commute, and move towards more balance in our lives. 

I share an amazing exercise that calms down the fear that tells you you're gonna starve and die, and creates a back up plan for if you take the leap, hope the wings will grow on the way down and realize you're gonna crash.

In this episode I share the hardest life lessons I've been dealt and how incredible it is to look back on your suffering in the past, see what it taught you, and feel good about them.

My 3 toughest life lessons so far are pretty universal, so it's my hope that sharing my perspective from the other side of learning how to:

1. Ask for help

2. Speak my truth

3. Have patience

..I will be able to encourage those of you who are on the receiving end of some tricky life situations that are perhaps, quietly trying to teach you the same lessons.  

Enjoy!

Mentioned on the podcast:

The 4 questions to ask yourself to discover whether life is trying to teach your something:

1. What am I really struggling with right now?

2. What feels hard?

3. What do I wish I could overcome?

4. Tune into your deep-seated yearnings.
