Surprise! I'm posting up a short bonus episode to make an exciting announcement!!! Wanna know what it is?? You better tune in! :)))

Today's episode is in tribute to a friend who I tragically lost last week. She was an earth angel to me and someone I wanted to take a moment to honour for the love and resilience she brought to my life when I needed it most. This episode is about the power of being there for loved ones during dark days, prioritizing what really matters most and reflecting on what you want your 'dash' to one day stand for... Rest in peace, my beautiful friend. <3 

Thanks to the filtered world of social media and everything we see in the movies and TV, our brains have subconsciously been conditioned to think of beauty looking one particular way. Unfortunately that can lead to a lot of nasty thoughts spiraling about our own bodies when we look in the mirror or try on our clothes. If you're having one of those days - where your insecurities are loud and you're fearing "I'm not enough" - tune into this episode. I share my favourite quotes and inspiration to help you override the ANTS (automatic negative thoughts) with far more empowering truths about what beauty really is and why your self worth is unconditional and completely detached from how you look.

True self confidence won't come from losing another kilo, it comes from stepping into all that you are. Find the courage to do along with me in this episode. <3

Whether it's asking someone to prom or running for student council, I know that sometimes we need to make decisions about doing something that feels scary or overwhelming to do. What if I regret doing it? What if it doesn't turn out and no one votes for me? Or my date says no? It's easy to let anxiety of all the 'bad things' that could happen take over so our mind spins over the decision for way too long that we end up missing the chance to do the thing at all. Have you just avoided your biggest regret, or walked head first into it? Tune in to find out!

Welcome to the podcast's 'flashback episode' series! To ensure some of my most helpful and impactful teachings aren't buried in amongst the other 200 episodes on here, I'm bringing back some of the earlier episodes to share with you here! This week I've picked my third ever episode, "Why Positive Thinking Isn't Working for You" -

Do you cringe when someone says 'just look on the bright side'? Do you wish you could think more positively, but your brain continues to dwell on the negatives? Are you skeptical as to whether changing your thoughts makes any difference - and whether it's even possible at all? Yep, I've been there too! In this episode you'll learn why this is all perfectly normal, the feature in our brain causing this resistance and how we can use this feature to change our minds (aka. our lives!) for the better. 

Life is hard, and one thing I've learned is that there's certain thoughts and perspectives that only make it harder. Tune into this episode to learn what they are and fresh perspectives to redirect to when you notice these thoughts are leading you down a dead end street.
