Invest in yourself - especially when you ask others to invest in you! I had this reminder recently and I know that I have to invest in myself as much as I ask others to invest in my services.

In this episode I speak about:

✨ hiring a personal stylist

✨ visiting a psychic

✨ showing up for a photo shoot

✨ attending conferences

✨ working on your message

✨ creating space and time to get your best energy

✨ why invest in your brand

Investing in yourself comes in so many forms and It's so important to choose you. If you don't put yourself first, if you're not working on you - then how can you grow and move forward? I'm practicing what I preach and doing more of this in the coming months.

If anything has resonated with you today and you want to discuss it more, please shoot me a message. I’d love to speak to you!

Alison Shamir is an Imposter Syndrome and Confidence Expert coach and speaker. Alison and I met at a networking event for Business Chicks when she spoke about impostor syndrome and I loved her approach and how she tackled it, her knowledge and expertise is just next level.

In this chat we're going to demystify what Imposter Syndrome is, how you can start to address it and if you even need to!

Alison helps women conquer Imposter Syndrome and master the skill of confidence so they can achieve, own and celebrate the success they truly desire and deserve. When Alison is not working you can catch her by the water, chasing the sun, sipping a coffee and spoiling my fur child Beckham.

There's so much more to share and it's a topic we'll revisit as I know it's something that comes up for my clients, it comes up in my course and program for women and I just love how Alison really gets to the bottom of it. So jump in and listen to this insightful chat.

“Rest & Receive” has become my mantra and I wanted to share it with you too. I’ve learnt over the past few years that the do, do, do way of working - the hustle - is just not working for me.

Whenever I take time out, rest and slow down - the universe delivers the most amazing opportunities to me. So I wanted to create a space where my gorgeous clients, network and other amazing female leaders could come together and do the same.

In this episode, I take you on a tour of the Barranca Private Estate in Kangaroo Valley where the next Rest & Receive Retreat will be held.

I am literally walking around and I hope my excitement, and the magic translates in this episode.

If you want to learn more - check out all the info in the show notes and reach out.

I’d love to hear about your experience of retreats too.

Retreats are truly a gift. The are an investment in yourself and can move you so far forward in your business. I have loved attending business and personal development retreats over the past few years and in May 2022, a long-term dream came true - I hosted one!

- what worked

- a few tears (the gratitude and impact of achieving this goal and sharing with these wonderful women)
