If you’ve ever wondered what boundaries are, why we need them and how to implement them. Then this episode is for you!

Today I want to give you a quick run-down of the what, why, and how of boundary setting.

Today I want to share with you something super exciting that I am about to release to my online community. I reckon you are going to love it.

Do you struggle to say NO? …

⁃ constantly sacrificing your time & energy to meet the needs of others. Leaving you feeling resentful, frustrated and angry.

⁃ constantly doubting your ability to know what is right for you and second guessing every decision you make. Impacting your self-worth and self-confidence.

⁃ feeling obligated to say yes, even when every bone in your body wants to say no. And you feel guilty for even thinking about saying no.

⁃ you have no time to focus on your dreams and passions because your schedule is overloaded with task for everyone else. Leaving you feeling unsatisfied and unfulfilled.

⁃ burnt out and overwhelmed by all the tasks, roles & responsibilities because wearing the “Busy Badge” is what is expected of you and you believe that being anything less than busy means you’re lazy!

I want to share with you all the details about a new free challenge that is going to help you to say NO with CONFIDENCE & CONVICTION so you can step back into your personal power and become the boss of your own life.

Your inability to say NO dictates how your time, energy and resources are spent. 

And in this 5 day Powerless to Powerful Challenge. I am going to help you understand why saying NO is the most powerful skill you need so you can reclaim your personal power and say YES to what is important to you.

Sleep ... We all need it ... In fact humans cannot survive without it!

And yet a lack of quality sleep is one of the hottest topics of discussion I have with not only my clients, but with many of the women I come in contact with.

I have spent the better part of the last 30 years struggling to get a decent night’s sleep. In the past my sleep habits were so messed up that I was lucky if I had 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep at night. I identified myself to anyone who would ask, as an insomniac!

This chronic sleep deprivation was making my daily life a real chore.

I’d be irritable, unable to concentrate, moody, prone to accidents and hurting myself, my mind was fuzzy and I used to forget everything.

Can you relate?

Fast forward to now…

And my sleep habits have improved so much that I no longer label myself an insomniac.

In today's episode I am going to expose:

>> What is getting in your way of a good nights sleep.

>> And my secrets to sleeping like a baby more often than not.

One of the questions I often get asked is “What are the easiest things to start saying no to?”

Let’s face it - when you start saying NO to others … it’s highly likely that your NO will create some resistance or back lash - this new behaviour is not the norm and you will unintentionally ruffle some feathers.

So, to build your NO muscle and practice saying NO, I like to recommend that you start by saying NO to the easy things, things that won't have a big impact on others. Things that if you say NO to them, then the only person it will have an effect on, is yourself.

In today's episode I'll be sharing 15 of the easiest things to start saying NO to, that won't ruffle the feathers of family and friends!

Is all that stress as a result of people pleasing impacting on your sleep?

Join me and my good friend Naturopath, Kate Liddle for a jam packed episode exploring how stress is impacting your sleep and what you can do about it!

Kate’s philosophy is, “if you don't look after your body, where will you live?”

We talk about the impact that people pleasing has on our physiology.

We get all sciency & nerdy and discuss brain chemicals, herbs and lifestyle tweaks to help create some calm so you can get a good night’s sleep.

Kate shares some real practical ideas for women to take home and start to practice in their life to help combat the likes of sleep issues, stress, anxiety and how to create more calm.

This episode is jam packed with so many golden nuggets, you’ll be coming back time & time again to re-listen.

#Note of caution, to avoid overwhelm ... We both recommend that you just focus on one thing at a time. Which is why you’ll want to listen to it over and over.

Today I'd love to introduce you to my friend and biz buddy Lauren Winzar, the queen of simplicity.

We People Pleaser's are prone to experiencing too much, too many, too much... too much everything! Basically we overcomplicate I.T .A.L.L!

Life CAN be simpler, and Lauren is the perfect expert to have on the show to tell us exactly how we can do that. Lauren is your Decluttering and Organisation Coach.

Lauren brings a light-hearted and non-judgemental approach to decluttering, she reduces stress and overwhelm in her clients' lives. Lauren doesn't believe that we're born organised and wants to help you learn the strategies that work for you so you can curate your ideal life.

Tune in to hear what Lauren has to say on how you can change your environment to support you rather that changing yourself to fit your environment. We discuss how simplifying your physical space will help you to simplify your life.

We also talk about how there are so many ways to DO YOU and finding what works and what does can be so confusing. Lauren helps us to cut through all the confusion and find what works FOR YOU.

#Truth Bomb! - There is NOT ONE WAY to do it!

However, if you’re someone who is constantly challenging themselves, looking to become better and more “self aware” (thanks for reading, by the way), buckle up.

Have you ever been so focused on other people's needs that you have completed forgotten about caring about yourself? Yep, I have too. The good news is that this is a habit that you can break, by becoming more aware of what makes you tick. I'm sharing a bunch of ways to help you to build your awareness muscle in order to make the necessary changes.
