  • 015// The Hard Truth - Nobody Is Coming To Save You

    Hey friends this message might be a little hard to swallow but it’s so important that you know it and begin to take responsibility for your healing.

     

    While people can be there to support you on your journey and encourage you, they can’t carry you through it, and anyone that is giving you the illusion that they want to carry your pain and trauma and carry you through your healing is lying.

     

    Nobody out of the goodness of their heart is going to come and say “let me carry your emotional baggage” and take on your healing.

     

    Anyone that is doing that is simply trying to deflect from their own issues by making you the centre of their life and that is actually a really dangerous thing and I can say that because I have been that person. I was the person who emptied myself to fill the cups of others, never ended well!

     

    HOWEVER - this is not saying you can’t have people support you, but it is your responsibility to seek the coaches, counsellors and community to help you heal. It’s your responsibility to do the work, nobody is going to do it for you.

     

    Though this is hard to hear, I hope it empowers you to know that you don’t have to rely on anyone and you have the power to completely change your life. ❤️

  • 014// Active Surrender - How To Manage During This Uncertain Time

    Oh hey friends,

    We're living through extremely uncertain and unprecedented times so it's easy for our minds to go into overdrive. This episode is a very candid conversation on how important it is to surrender during this time. 

    The misconception around surrender is that when we do, it means we're "giving up" quite the opposite actually. You're surrendering to what you cannot control and being active on what you can control - active surrender. You're not just sitting around waiting, you're doing what you can to fill your cup.

    Also a little message to the mamas out here, please give yourself some grace and breathe. You and your little (or big) babes will be in such a better place if you take the pressure off. Create structure without stressing about being on top of everything. You are doing the best you can.

    If you are reading this and need to reach out please send me a DM @lovehally we are all in this together! ❤️

    Thank you for taking the time to listen and if you enjoyed this episode I would be so grateful if you'd rate and write a review on iTunes it would mean the world to me. xx

  • 013// Uncomfortably Unpacking White Privilege & Being Open To Being Wrong

    Hey friends,

    Todays episode is a very candid conversation about the black lives matter movement and the responsibility we have as white/non black people to educate ourselves and pull up. I am very intentional with using the term ‘black people’ over people of colour, because terminology is important. 

     

    I want to very openly say that this is very much me dumping what is on my heart and mind and speaking it out loud. This is by no means a comfortable conversation to have which is all the more reason why we need to have it.

     

    I fully acknowledge that I don’t have the right words, I don’t know whether that I am saying is right or wrong. But I’d rather speak out and be corrected than be silent and stay wrong.

     

    I hope that this serves as a reminder that:

     

    • This isn’t just about racism, it’s about the dehumanisation of black people.
  • We cannot just only embrace the beauty of black culture and reject the pain.
  • It’s our responsibility to educate ourselves.
  • It is not job of black people to validate our feelings or hold our hand through our learning.
  • We don’t get to decide what is or isn’t offensive to black people.
  • We WILL get it wrong.
  • We must be open to being checked.
  •  

    And most of all be committed to listening, learning and taking that knowledge to actively be part of the change.

     

    Thank you for taking the time to listen and if you enjoyed this episode I would be so grateful if you'd rate and write a review on iTunes it would mean the world to me. xx

  • 012// Marie Kondo Your Mind - Taking Internal Inventory

    Oh hey friends,

    How many of us have cleaned the ENTIRE house top to bottom during isolation?

    How many of us have decluttered our wardrobes feeling like a brand new bish? 

    And how many of us have gone taken internal inventory on our thoughts and decluttered the negativity in our minds?

    I bet that last one threw you off right?

    Self talk is the MOST important thing when it comes to self development, healing, growth.

    If your self talk is negative you wont achieve positive fulfilling results. We are often not aware of how cluttered our minds are with negative thoughts, limiting beliefs and the labels we've placed on ourselves.

    I love using real life practical analogies to break down strategies that might seem complex to some. Maybe you've never even considered the way you speak to yourself and the way you can manage your thoughts. In this episode I break down:

    Why taking internal inventory is important.

    How to determine your predominant language.

    The importance of knowing the difference between instructive and destructive language.

    How you can reframe the way you speak to yourself.

    Declutter your mind and free your heart!

    This episode was also filmed for IGTV!

  • 011// Necessary Realness - Paralysing Perfectionism

    Oh hey friend,

    New name, who dis? 

    This episode is reintroducing the podcast with the new name, where hell I've been since my last episode and how perfectionism paralysed me from showing up.

    Do you find yourself looking at people and think I wish I could be happy like them? Do you ever look at your goals and feel exhausted by how far out of reach they seem? Do you think self development is all positive affirmations, meditation, rainbows, unicorns and fairy dust? Does it all seem a bit woo woo to you?

    Have you tried working on yourself and it all felt a bit too hard and you felt defeated?

    That's because the story that is out there is that "it's easy if you choose for it to be easy" sorry? BYE! I'm sick of hearing people feel like they're doing it wrong because it's hard - here's the thing friend, you might not want to hear this but healing hurts! 

    I'm here to share the REAL TALK that aren't "sexy" or "romantic" or overtly motivating, but it's real and more importantly relatable. I know that my experiences and story will resonate with you in some way and I pray that it helps you with your journey.

    I hope y'all enjoy, I'd love to have you join me on the journey!

  • 010// What Is the Ego and Why Does It Fight for Your Problems?

     

    Oh hey friends!

     

    OMG EPISODE 10! I’m the double digits y’all how exciting!

     

    This week I’m expanding off a recent IGTV I posted after getting some questions I decided to go into it here. In this episode you’ll hear me break down a way to understand ego (it literally came to me as I was talking, you’ll hear haha)

     

    I also explain what it means to “fight” for your problems and how powerful the ego is when it comes to resisting any change - good or bad!

     

    What originally started off as an episode to discuss fighting for your problems turned into an introduction to ego - ah the joys of unscripted podcasting!

     

    I hope you like this one friends, have a blessed week!

  • 009// Human Connection - The Affects On Your Life And Health

    Oh hey friends!

     

    This week I want to share a lesson I learnt during my digital disconnect and time away in Byron. I realised that one of the biggest reasons we are struggling to detach from our screens is because we are lacking human connection. In a world where we are the most digitally connection we are also the most humanly disconnected we’ve ever been.

     

    Did you know that health is affected by your human connections? Loneliness has been compared to smoking and the negative implications it has on our health is actually terrifying. I go into the importance our relationships have on our lives and why we need to make sure we’re nurturing our connections!

     

    If there’s someone you haven’t seen in a while and know you’ve maybe allowed life to get in the way, call them today!

    008// Digital Disconnect – The Importance Of A Break from Socials.

     

    Oh hey friends!

     

    WOW, it has been a hot minute. I have been away from the podcast for a MONTH! I’m not going to lie, that time has flown. The first two Sundays I was away in beautiful Byron Bay and the last two Sundays have just been madness. But I’m back and better than ever!

     

    In this episode, we’re catching up, I haven’t spoken to y’all in so long, so we need to have a little catch up and recap of what’s been happening. There’s also a reason why there hasn’t been a podcast episode – I went on a semi unexpected digital disconnect. I go into how it came about, the importance of taking a break from socials and how you can be a little more intentional with your screen time!

     

    Buckle up y’all I’m back back and we’re going full speed!

  • 007// The Dangers Of Comparative Suffering + How To Put An End To It
    Oh hey friends!
     
    In today's episode we are talking about comparative suffering, ever heard of it? Don't worry I'll fill you in! Look we have all been on the giving and receiving end of this and it's okay, but, we need to make sure we are being conscious about the words we use to someone who is suffering. 
     
    Suffering is subjective, what you might deem insignificant is a traumatic event for someone else, so it's important to know that suffering doesn't have to come from some extreme earth shattering event. If someone comes to you with a problem they're facing, your automatic response shouldn't be to one up them with something you or someone you know is going through that's harder than what they're experiencing.
     
    Sometimes (emphasis on the some!) people respond in a way of comparing with good intentions, or to show that they understand where the other person is coming from, but it does more harm than good. Perhaps you're not great at consoling people who are going through a hard time. Maybe you struggle to empathise with people. You might be coming from a good place but your words don't reflect that. If any of these ring true for you we go through ways to avoid comparative suffering when speaking to someone else and how to address it if someone is doing it to you.
     
    This is a really important topic to me, I wanted to bring light to this because it's one of the main reasons there is such a stigma around mental health and seeking any form of therapy. As a coach, I've seen this really destroy peoples confidence and even their willingness to get help. It has to stop and it starts with us. 
     

    As always I want to thank you for taking the time to listen and if you enjoyed this episode I would be so grateful if you'd rate and write a review on iTunes it would mean the world to me. xx

  • 006// Sunday Service Announcement - You Are Enough!

    Oh hey friends,

    Today I'm serving the message from my heart to your ears.

    You Are Enough!

    All of the fears that hold us back from pursuing something come down to the fear of not being enough. This is NOT a fear we are born with, this is something we are conditioned to believe by people and messages outside of us.

    If you have something on your heart that you want to pursue, it's there for a reason, you are enough as you are to go for what you desire.

    You are enough, for simply being. I really hope you hear this message and let it connect with you!
