It's been a real slow start to 2022 in the Lovelly world, how's it all going for you?

In this episode I reflect on 2021 and all the things that happened both professionally and personally. I share how my word GROWTH came into practice and how I'll be embracing my new word, HARMONY, in 2022.

You'll get to hear about:

- the I AM exercise

- Lovelly Brand Builders - my NEW program

- Photoshoots - that you can join

- Retreats - eek, so excited

And so much more.

I hope this inspires you to do your own reflections and goal setting for the year, even if it is a bit later than the typical January planning that many of us tend to do. Any time you can commit to goal setting, dreaming, aspiring is well worth it!

So much more to come in 2022, thank you for being along for the ride!

Have you ever felt disconnect from yourself? A bit lost? Unsure of how to speak about yourself?

This happens, and it happened to me. I'm always asking my audience to share their story and so today, I'm sharing mine. It's deeply personal and it's important.

When I was 17, my whole world fell apart. I lost who I was. I wasn’t me anymore. It was soul destroying.

Not having a connection to who we are can feel isolating, disconnecting and concerning

It can happen in a time of crisis or change, and it’s when I most often work with my clients. When they are in a time of transition. Whether it’s changing jobs, becoming a parent, leaving a marriage, moving to a new place or going through some personal development changes. It is a time where the things that have generally anchored us are no longer there.

In this episode i share not only my own journey to reconnection with myself, but also some helpful writing exercises to help you get back to you and acknowledge your own story.

This week I chat to host of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast and owner of Amanda Kendle Consulting, Amanda Kendle.

Amanda is a leader in the Australian Travel Podcast scene. I connected with Amanda through the Australian Podcasters Collaborative, and we hit it off instantly over our shared passion for travel, and talking!

Amanda has been running her social media and blogging consultancy business in Perth since it began by accident when her son was tiny. She's also a confessed travel addict and has been publishing The Thoughtful Travel Podcast for more than five years and her travel blog Not A Ballerina since 2005.

In this episode you'll learn about how podcasts can have a huge impact on your personal brand, create a loyal fan base and also grow your business!

Video can help you get your brand out there in a big way, and Rebecca Saunders, is here to tell you why!

Described by her clients as a video ninja, Rebecca is a sought after video strategist who builds brands with impactful video content and live virtual events.

You'll also learn about Rebecca's recent journey of owning her own unique personal brand and her choice to step into her true power. Rebecca has had the auto-immune disease alopecia universaris since she was 7 years old. This means she has absolutely no hair on her body.

For years Rebecca wore a wig, well many in fact, and tried to fit in. It was only in 2021 that she finally decided to let go of all the masks and show up as herself, unapologetically, all the time. It's working wonders for her personal and business brand, and she shares why it's important for you to share the uniqueness that is YOU!

Please enjoy hearing Rebecca's incredible story and her absolute genius when it comes to all things video!!

This week's guest is owner of Collectively Assist, Leah Selfe. As a Virtual Assistant, Leah helps coaches streamline and level up their business with automation to boost productivity.

One of the key points I share when supporting my clients to build their personal brand is the importance of CONSISTENCY. If you are a content creator who is primarily working alone, like I was for so many years, the only person to be accountable to is ... you!!

But processes, systems and structure are what help you to be consistent. And that's where a VA can help you to build your brand.

Based in the Gold Coast, Leah is passionate about building a business while creating a lifestyle she can enjoy with her 12 year old son. It's why she started her business and it's what she wants for all of her clients too!
