“I’m so excited to have relaunched my ‘Practically Positive’ podcast! Let’s get talking—it’s ‘More Than Mindset.’

I called the podcast ‘More Than Mindset’ because although lots of what I talk about is absolutely a mindset shift, it’s also about putting yourself in that position to choose what your mindset is going to be.

I’m going to offer lots of practical tips, things you can do to build positive daily habits, and of course, get on lots of fabulous guests that are going to share their stories, their experience of how they have shifted their mindset, and how they have come at things from a different perspective.”

So please click to subscribe and share with friends you think might like what we will be chatting about ...

Thanks for listening... Let's get talking!

When things do not go to plan.

In this mini episode I am sharing a story from my a live I did on my socials that I think is a great example of times when we let other 'stuff' shift our mindset.

When it is something outside of our control, it is too easy to then let it effect us, so here I talk about to look for the solution, rather than focusing on the problem, and take back your control.

Have a listen to how I take a situation outside of my control and using the tools I now teach, stopped myself from going into a negative spiral.

When I talk about my Step 1, I am talking about the 12 Steps of Al-Anon, the same 12 steps used in most recovery programmes such as AA, NA etc..

I do a lot of work with the recovery community and deliver workshops with connected charities, if is this is something you'd be interested in for your organisation, get in touch with me at [email protected] .

You can find more about Al-Anon here https://al-anon.org/

So I am honoured to introduce the wonderful Lisa to the podcast, as this episodes topic is one very close to my heart...

What is stopping you from being who you want to be or doing what you want to do?

Fear....

So let's all try getting scared.... well it is coming up to Halloween right, so what better time to try..

Now I know for some of you, you are think... What... No Way!!!  Why would I want to be scared...

But by stepping out of our comfort zone, by doing things we have not done before, is where we grow.. it is where we learn just what we are capable of facing.. and just how brave we are...

So start small.. think of something you have been putting off doing because it scares you, could be joining a club or fitness class, could be signing up to a dating site, could be going for a promoting at work .. what ever it is.. just think about what it would mean to you if you did it...

If you want to know more about how to reframe your fear you can get in touch with me here ....

In this episode I talk to the wonderful Verity from My Wonky Little Heart, she shares her story on living with anxiety & what that looks like to her and how that has shaped how she lives her life today, and how she now has her wonderful community My Wonky Hearts & Minds, where other come together to share their experiences too.

All to often we have a perception of how someone behaves or what we expect someone with anxiety to act like, so listening to Verity today was so refreshing & I could see a lot of my own actions in her story.  

I want to say a huge thank you to her for her honestly and hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed recording it...

In this episode I talk more about how I had to really work hard to chance what I had told myself my family would look like.  My own Mum had left when I was just 5 and little did I know what a huge influence that had on me and what I subconsciously promised to myself I would be like as a Mum when I had a family of my own.  

I talk a little about my fertility problems, although I talk about this more in a future episode, and how this too made the breakdown of my marriage so much more difficult to accept.

Well everyone, this is a conversation I never thought I would have.... but in this episode, I got to chat to the amazing Chris Cook, Olympic Medal Winner, Motivational Speaker & Coach.  His outlook on life is very similar to mine in lots of ways, so was an honour to get to chat to him and find out more about the way he now lives his life & inspires others to do the same.

We talk about his life as a sportsman at the top of his game, focusing on solutions bot problems, and how he had to totally change when he left professional sport, and some very expensive lessons he learned along the way.  He talks about Imposter Syndrome, and appreciating who you are.  

I hope you enjoy listening to us as much as I enjoyed chatting to him...  so Let's Get Talking...
