We talk about the belief about 'not having time' to fit in de-stress and self care tools and how we actually do have time. This episode includes a de-stress breathing exercise you can try at your desk, in the bathroom, sitting, standing, lying down or even walking!

Managing Anxiety 😥

During my latest podcast I am joined by Amy Langshaw, an experienced Cognitive Behaviour Therapist.

Amy works with adults experiencing overwhelm with anxiety, worries, intrusive thoughts, or panic including panic attacks.

Her journey began with a deep interest in psychology and mental health. After experiencing family members struggling with depression and anxiety, this led her to pursue a degree in psychology. Being away from home and the pressures of studying meant she struggled greatly with her own mental wellbeing, including panic attacks. However, this spurred her on to fully understand it and explore the support that is available.

Amy shares 3 anxiety busting tips in this episode including the benefits of journaling. She highly recommends exploring the different ways of doing it.

• Diary style writing about your day – a good way to spot patterns of thinking or unhelpful behaviours and triggers for anxiety.

• Gratitude diary – creating balance from negativity.

• Mental downloading or ‘brain dump’

 

Amy’s other tips are Mindful moments and Self-compassion.

A painful hip started the journey to self-care for Angiras Auro. 🛣️

Angrias says “I think self care is not just about doing exercise or something like that. It is making sure that you're holistically looking after yourself. So it's self care in terms of your mental health is self care in terms of your physical health.”

During this episode we also talk about how and why Angiras created a bucket list: here are some of her goals…

📣 Become a speaker 

🧘Go to a spiritual festival

✔️Sort out my hips/and elbow

🐴 Go horse riding

🌌 See the northern lights

Also included is a counting breathing meditation as well as a positive affirmation card message of the day.

Building good habits with consistency and accountability - for a happier and healthier life!🤩

This week on the podcast I’m joined by Sally Pritchard - an experienced Product Manager with JP Morgan.

In this episode we discuss the benefits of accountability and consistent practice. Plus the revelation of practicing breathing techniques between a busy work schedule. 💡

Using the bathroom as a great place for a quick breathing exercise to re charge the batteries, de-stress the body and mind for better concentration, productivity and mood. 😌

Sally loves beach walks, cooking and nature and has struggled in the past with making good habits.

However, her weekly Pilates lessons have taught her the value of consistency and taking breaks during busy work days.

This episode includes a positive affirmation message and breathing technique you can use at work, home or even on a walk to de-stress and feel stronger, more resilient, happier and calmer.

Hi, I’m Vicki, and I help women get on track with their businesses so they can make a living doing what they truly believe in. Creating and growing a service-based business you’re passionate about can be difficult without the right support. I provide that support, along with the impartial advice it can be hard to get from friends and family. I give you all the tools you need for business growth without overwhelming you and work holistically: we’ll deal with mindset and confidence as well, not just facts and figures.

Why me? Well, I’ve always had an interest in helping people and trained in counselling before moving into recruitment. My career took me into a sales role for a multinational tech company worth over $2 billion and I ended up spending 17 years in a busy, corporate environment, but it eventually became clear that this wasn’t the life I wanted! 

After some serious soul-searching, I reconnected with my purpose and set out on a journey of coaching and personal development. I retrained in Personal Performance Coaching, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Team & Group Coaching, and Emotional Freedom Techniques (more commonly known as EFT or “tapping”).  

I get to run my business on my terms and have built up a successful coaching and mentoring client base. I’ve faced many obstacles along the way, including working while raising two small children. I have experienced many of the challenges women in service-based businesses face and I understand just how important good relationships and the right mindset are.

I’m a huge advocate of empowering women in business and supporting them by any means possible to grow in confidence and achieve their goals. I run seven Women In Business Network (WIBN) groups: six in-person groups in the Thames Valley area and a national online one. We’re a supportive, inclusive, friendly, and professional network and many people make lifelong friends while they are growing their businesses.

I live in a village near Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, in the UK, with my husband, Pete, and our two boys, Reuben and Isaac.
