How often do you stop and listen to your higher self? We can be so busy in business and life that the answer could well be “not often’ or “never”, even if it’s something you believe in and/ or have vowed to do more of in the past.

I’m 100% in this category, so what a treat this was not only for the podcast and in guiding you to listen to your higher self, but as a chance for me to pause and be guided to listen to mine with a ‘never been done on this podcast before’ experience of having my tarot cards read for me which was such a wonderful experience- and one that I highly recommend (see links below if you’d like to talk to Sarah and/ or book a reading).

Card reading aside, we talk about showing up as your authentic self- even when you have a fear around this depending on your niche and/ or perceived judgement around you and/ or what you do.

Brilliant guest, brilliant chat, and something completely different which I’m so happy to bring to you.

I’d love to know your thoughts on this episode!

What lights you up? Seems like an easy question on the surface, yet if you were to sit and really think about what truly lights you up, it might feel like a trickier question to answer than it initially appears.

What lit us up in the past, might not anymore, whilst other things we loved years ago -  things or places we might have forgotten about and/ or no longer make time for - could be exactly what we need to bring more joy and a sense of self connection back into our lives.

In this episode I talk you through exactly this, breaking it down into two stages:

1. First of all I invite you to go back in time (only if it feels safe to do so), looking at your personal growth journey and how it can affect your sense of what you enjoy. Here I chat about the notion of ‘losing yourself’ along the way, with examples such as parenthood, life changes and transitions and more.
2. Once you know where you're up to in your journey - in life, which ultimately leads you to where you might be up to in your business and/ or personal brand - it’s time to flip the switch from your inner to your outer world as I invite you to dig deep and look at what lights you up NOW, and how you can even bring this into your business!

I share my own journey plus recent realisations around what still lights me up all from a day out with my kids, plus plans to bring this in it my own business in the near future.

This is the second in what I am calling the ‘YOU & Your Journey’ mini series of solo episodes which begins from the last solo which is episode 062 ‘8 Ways to Keep the Energy Going When Your Own Energy Feels ‘Off’, all the way to Episode 070 ‘Bringing Your Quirks into Your Business & Brand… And Owning Them!’... before ending this season for the Summer holidays with a solo which brings all of these together with intention as we look at ‘Messaging, Mindset and YOU!’ (with more brilliant guest interviews in between!).

I’d love to know your thoughts on this, and especially if it inspires you to reconnect with what you love and/ or to even bring it into what you do!

What comes to mind if or when you think of PR? >>

… Celebrities, wannabee celebrities and/ or  business owners being featured in the press or on tv? That PR is something you need to be fully confident to take centre stage? As something you don’t see yourself as needing just yet? Or other misconceptions there might be when it comes to what PR is and- most of all- what it gives??

Which could be exposure, authority, confidence and visibility for starters…. Most of all though, PR is the perfect way to celebrate YOU… which is what this week’s incredible guest is all about!

Jo Swann talks us through her own business journey in which she is currently celebrating her company’s 20 year anniversary, plus we chat about imposter syndrome, what PR is and isn’t, how it can boost confidence and your positioning and so much more.

Jo even brings a little disco magic to this episode which I am 100% here for (check out the video version on YouTube to see Jo’s disco lights too!)

Do check out Jo’s links below, as well as Jo’s book ‘Celebrating YOU’, PLUS visit Jo’s social media bio links for information.

About Jo:

Subscriber-only episode

This month’s premium episode is something completely different yet it is super high value in terms of your wellbeing, and possibly even your productivity and confidence in how you show up too.

This accompanies bitesize episode 006 so you might want to give that a listen first where I talk you through why improving and being aware of your posture could well help you skyrocket your confidence and authority, plus how decreasing lower back pain will help you to feel better and be able to focus for longer overall.

I should say at this stage that my previous business was in fitness and wellbeing, and that I qualified as a level 4 Personal Trainer waaay back in 2012 where I specialised in Lower Back Pain strengthening and posture improvement! 

So… in this episode you have a qualified, specialist personal trainer (hey I’m still qualified, I just don’t use it anymore!) take you through an actual 20 minute stretching and strengthening sequence which starts around 12 minutes; the first part of the episode is where I talk you through what we’ll be doing, what can cause lower back pain and/ or poor posture and more.

Enjoy!?

Ok so what does posture (did you just sit up straighter??) have to do with your business, brand and the way you show up?

On the surface, nothing at all! Think a little broader however, and listen to this episode of course, and you’ll discover how much improving or being aware of your posture could potentially positively impact not only your physical presence when you walk into a room or present online, but also your authority and confidence too!

After skipping just one week of my podcast, I decided to go ‘off (podcast} plan’, and straight into something which affects us all as part of running a business, and in showing up as your personal brand… our energy.

There will always be times when we feel uninspired and/ or disconnected when it comes to our business and how we show up. Whether a had a bad nights sleep, hormonal imbalances, the moon, or life throwing you an unexpected curveball… it often doesn’t take much to knock our energy enough for it to feel ‘off’.

If this happens, you might feel tempted to hide away… something i’ve felt these last few weeks due to a household of illness, half term and more.

Rather than keep the hiding going, I gave myself a loving kick up the derriere to record this episode and get back to it after just one missed week versus 18 months last time (I call that progress!).

Here I share 8 ways you can keep the energy going in your business, brand and content when your own energy feels ‘off’.

Let me know if you do any of these already, or if you give any new ones a go!

How do you think up content ideas? Do you copy other content and make it your own, spend far too long thinking up brand new ideas, wing it by posting pretty much anything (whether strategic or not)… orrrr - the biggie - avoid posting content a lot of the time altogether? 

Content can feel like such a headache, and all too often a royal pain in the ass!! It can niggle away at you, knowing you ‘should’ be posting more, when in reality you don’t have the time, energy or headspace to!

Good job I have something to help! 

This month’s podcast workshop could be exactly what you need to a) put the time aside to plan b) help think up ideas and c) it might just give you new offer ideas too!

Give it a go?

You’ll need to upgrade to the premium version of this podcast to access this workshop along with previous workshops too- including the content planning workshop which this episode follows on from.
