Mental Makeover

This episode might make some people uncomfortable because it goes against the saying "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life". I think that statement is very naive and ignorant to the reality of business and being your own boss, and gives people a false sense of hope that monetising your passions will always end well. The truth: it might have the opposite effect. In this episode I talk through why I feel that sometimes hobbies should be left as just that: hobbies, and why the opportunity to make money from them should only be considered if you're primarily driven by financial success, or business success, and NOT happiness!

I came across an Instagram post with a very insightful caption about dating and I wanted to talk through it with you guys!

Of course we all know that every relationship (friendship or romantic) needs to be built on mutual loyalty to one another, but where do you draw the line? Is there a point at which you begin to give too much of yourself in order to be loyal to someone else, especially when they probably wouldn't do the same for you? I tend to be fiercely loyal, which I feel only really benefits the other person, and leaves me feeling a bit exhausted. It's been on my mind after seeing a meme about it on Twitter, so let's chat! Let me know your opinion over on @lozcurtis or @mentalmakeoverpodcast on Instagram x

The stigma around sponsored posts is still very much alive and thriving, and I almost think that might actually be a good thing. The social media industry is booming, influencers are cashing in, and a lot of the time they're not even disclosing their sponsorships. Many are banking cheques for promoting products they've barely used and it begs the question: who can you really trust? While I pride myself on being 100% honest 100% of the time, I know that many people can't say the same, and it's why I think the distrust of sponsored content might actually be a good thing: it encourages people to be aware, to ask questions and to avoid being taken advantage of. You're absolutely always safe on my page, you never have to question if I've prioritised money over integrity (ever), but I still want you to be fully informed about the almost 'secret' world of sponsorships and paid posts.

How many times have you had an idea of how something would pan out, only to be left feeling disappointed and underwhelmed? You thought your boyfriend would be able to read your mind somehow and do all of the cute things you wanted him to, but when he didn't meet those expectations you became upset and an argument broke out. Perhaps you expected to be married with kids by now, and because you're not quite there, you feel like you've failed. Maybe you thought your business would be more successful by this stage, but because it's still taking a while to get off the ground, you feel unaccomplished and unfulfilled. More often that not, expectations lead to disappointment, so why do we keep doing it to ourselves? How do we stop it? Let's chat!

This episode is all about staying in your lane and running your own race. Too often we focus our attention on what everyone around us is doing, and use those observations as markers for success in our own lives. Do we even truly want that for ourselves? Do we feel ready for that? Do we need that? I think it's important to remind ourselves every now and then that life isn't a journey that looks the same for everyone. Stop looking at who's behind, alongside or in front of you - it doesn't matter. Focus on living a life that feels authentic and joyful and fulfilling! I love you guys - thanks for tuning in again.

Perhaps you've heard about 'manifesting' or the 'law of attraction' and you're intrigued but not quite sure where to start. Perhaps you've had lots of experience with it and you just want to hear about someone else's experience. Or, perhaps you think it's some mumbo-jumbo hippie stuff and you're keen for a laugh. Regardless of what caused you to tune in, I'm here to share my 2 cents on what the law of attraction means to me and why I think it's so powerful. If you'd like a part two or have any specific questions you'd like me to answer about it all, send me a DM over on @mentalmakeoverpodcast or @lozcurtis :) Please don't forget to subscribe, rate and review if you enjoyed today's episode!

How many times, as a woman, have you been asked when you are going to have kids? How many kids do you want? And if you don't want kids, why don't you want kids? Or when are you planning to get married? Do you want to get married? Why aren't you married? Or if you're in a social setting, why aren't you drinking? Why don't you drink? Oh come on, just have one! Ugh, it does my head in... but it's seriously worth talking about. Let me know your thoughts over at @lozcurtis and @mentalmakeoverpodcast!
