Mastering Your Mindset

I couldn't think of a more apt guest to have on the show this week amidst all the panic surrounding Covid19. Shane Cradock is a well known Leadership Coach but his speciality is improving your state of mind- something, as you know I'm a huge advocate of and think is so important as we face into this uncertainty. I think this episode will convince you now more than ever why it's so important to work on your inner game, especially in these current times of change and upheaval.

Today we're going to talk about a topic that I KNOW a lot of you struggle with. How do I know??? Because its just so bloody common especially amongst women.

And what is it? It's that pesky thing called self doubt that gets in the way of doing the thing you want to do… and today we're going to tackle how we're going to give self doubt the heave ho so we can get on with the most important task of being brilliant at whatever we're doing or choose to do!

So buckle up and get ready to feel empowered with this latest episode!

I'm sharing some personal insights in this weeks episode after a recent interview on LMFM radio 'Monday Motivation' slot. I hope that some of the lessons I've learned about myself over the past 10 years will help you gain more clarity about your own life and what you're capable of. This week I also asked apple podcast listeners for a favour -I asked if they liked what they heard would they mind rating and reviewing the show. It only take 10 seconds to do and I would REALLY appreciate it. Thank you SO much!

Think mindfulness is just a fad ? Think again! This week on the show I spoke to Paddy Brosnan, a mindfulness teacher who works with thousands of people helping them to become more mindful. If you're not into mindfulness and see it as a fad let me tell you this episode is for you…this is not about having a 20 minute practice in the morning or the evening, this really is about introducing more focus and intention into your life, being more mindful, being more present and how it can really give you the edge both personally and professionally.

In today's episode I spoke to coach and international motivational speaker, Pete Smith who changed his whole outlook on life when he had a stroke when he was only 35. The stroke almost killed him and doctors still don't know how he is alive today. Something changed for Pete that day - he 'woke up' and grabbed his second chance at life with both hands. In this interview he talks about how we can all lead a more fulfilled life and how the choices we make everyday impact the quality of our lives.

An average person has between 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts per day. Of those, 80% are negative and 95% are repetitive thoughts. Pretty startling eh? In this episode I spoke to high performance coach, George Anderson about improving the quality of our thoughts and how it can have an incredible impact on the quality of our lives. We also spoke about why in the age of information overload we actually need less information and more action in order to see a real change.

When you're describing your life, be it personally or professionally how often do you use the words- busy, mental, manic, flat out?

Often? If you're like the majority of people you use the word 'busy' to describe your entire life. I wonder when did it become ok to wear 'busyness' as a badge of honour and something that demonstrates how successful you are? It this episode I talk about how to break free form the busyness agenda and take back control of how we view our lives.

If ever there was proof needed that a shift in mindset can have a huge impact on your life it can be found in my conversation with popular fitness and health blogger, Maeve Madden. Her life was once ruled by an unhealthy obsession with diet and exercise, so much so that it was having a negative impact on her overall health & wellbeing. Fast forward a few years later and Maeve is now known for her body positive content and can do attitude. It's proof that we can all improve our lives with the right outlook.

Losing your Mojo this January? This episode is a follow up to last week's episode where we got all fired up making our plans and commitments for the year ahead. This week I'm going to make sure you continue to stick to your goals and commitments by becoming your accountability partner and cheerleader, the person on the sidelines who is cheering you on and believing that you can do it, even if you don't think you can yourself.

I'm going to give you some simple strategies that you can implement straight away if you feel like giving up on your dream right now. I hope you enjoy!

Get ready to get fired up!

I'm back for the first episode of 2020 and needless to say I'm more than a little excited to share this weeks episode with you.

Sometimes we all need that little extra push. That extra bit of outside motivation that's going to wake you up, lift you up and create that fire in your belly to go after the dream of yours that you've been chasing for so long.

That's what I hope this episode will do for you and I hope you enjoy.
