Here to Thrive ® | Self Help & Personal Development

This episode, I’m in the hot seat! My coaching bud Andrea Featherstone is interviewing me. (see projectself.com.au & the ep. here on Deconstructing Mindfulness for more of her!!) She asked, and I took her up on the offer.

-      How I got into Psychology

-      My background as Corporate Psychologist

-      Why I get angsty around the type-indicator personality assessments sometimes

-      How you can become more Emotionally Intelligent

It was seriously fun.

This ep. I'm getting real with a topic that frequently comes up in my Life Coaching private sessions. This is one of the things that I've been talking about with my clients over the past few weeks, and it's more than a passing trend - it is a life lessons than can help us avoid a WHOLE bunch of suffering.

I'm also celebrating a BIG milestone and giving myself a hard time about my accent (taking the Mickey out of myself if you're a Kiwi in the know). So if you want a little lightheartedness, stay tuned to this one.

Specifically this podcast talks to:

• What Acceptance is
• Why accepting what is, rather than fighting against it, eases our hurt
• How being stuck on our expectations hurts us
• 3 steps to help you start moving yourself towards acceptance

I mentioned three mantras in here that can be really reassuring:

• All is in right order. This is happening for me, not to me.
• Acceptance is my path to freedom.

and my favorite:

• What is truly meant for me will never miss me.

Marcus Aurelius Anderson is a Mindset Coach, Speaker & Author. His new book is called - The Gift of Adversity.

Today we're talking adversity, and how to start moving forward when you feel stuck or blindsided by life. Marcus has an incredible story about overcoming adversity, but what I really appreciate about him, is how focused he not simply telling his story, but in giving others practical ideas, thoughts and actions to help them overcome adversity in their own lives.

Specifically we discuss:

• What adversity is
• The importance of deciding your attitude toward adversity before you get landed with the really hard stuff
• The regret of wasting your potential
• Marcus' quote - "The things that make people great don't happen by accident"
• My initial frustration with the sentiment that we all have enough time
• The power of identifying what you really want, and what you don't want.
• What fulfilment means to Marcus
• ...and SO much more!

In this ep. I'm diving into the cliche self-help topic that I have an ABSOLUTE love, yet slight disdain for - Authenticity.

I love it, because I believe it is one of the essential keys to living a fulfilling, and wholly happy life. I dislike it, because I think it is thrown around and misunderstood.

Today, I'm talking deep authenticity. The stuff when we feel like we're connected and living from our own inner-wisdom. Specifically this ep covers:

• A definition of Authenticity - have to start with what it actually IS
• The pre-requisites to authenticity - how to start becoming more authentic
• 5 attributes that indicate connection with your authentic self.

In this episode I'm pulling back the curtain and letting you know what I talk to my clients about.

I looked back at my clients over the last 12 months and tried to summarize what they came to me seeking help with. I was actually surprised to see 3 themes emerge quite rapidly.

In this episode, I'm talking through those 3 themes, or 3 driving reasons that my clients tend to reach out to me and seek Life Coaching.

My hope is that this episode will help you understand more, through example, what Life Coaching is, and how it helps people navigate their lives.
