Having a plan is good, but what about when the plan becomes restrictive and stops working for you? Changing it might sound simple but it can bring up all kinds of challenging feelings. 

In this episode I share:

• The plan that’s no longer working for me
• What I made changing the plan mean about me
• The new plan (and how it works for you too)

We think that if we aren’t making big changes, taking bold action, if we don’t see the impact of our efforts quickly enough that means we’re not getting anywhere and there’s no point in trying. But perhaps there’s a different way of getting to where we want to go? 

In this episode I share:

• Why breaking a big goal into smaller chunks can still feel overwhelming
• What a micro movement is and the power behind it
• How marginal gains prove that little steps add up to big leaps

It can be baffling when there’s a new habit we want to establish, something we really want to do, and yet we find it so hard to actually do the thing. But if we can find a way to tackle what’s going on here the reward is increased self-trust.

In this episode I share:

• What’s getting in the way of us doing what we want to do on a regular basis
• How we can get moving in the direction we want to go in
• What we gain when we switch our thinking and behaviour in this way

When there’s something you want or you’ve been thinking about why is it that you see related examples and opportunities everywhere you turn? Is there something magical going on is there a neurological explanation for it? 

In this episode I share:

• The scientific explanation for the law of attraction
• How we can harness what’s going on in our brains
• The beneficial impact this can have on our daily lives

We might spend time away from home for lovely reasons like going on holiday or visiting friends, or it might be for a more troubling reason like caring for a sick loved one. Even if we’re happy to be staying somewhere different it can be still be a source of stress as we’re away from our home comforts and personal space. 

In this episode I share:

• Why we can struggle away from home even when we’re with people we love
• Ideas for how you can give yourself feelings of ease, comfort and safety
• How introverts can find calm while 'peopling'

What might we regret in the future and what can we do about it now to mitigate them? Bronnie Ware’s book ‘The Top Five Regrets of the Dying’ got me thinking along with a realisation about the regrets I hadn’t had before.

In this episode I share:

• What the top five regrets of the dying are
• What connects them all that relates to life right now
• What realisations this has given me about how I live my life
• How we might want to spend our time, and our lives, now

To do lists are useful, they hold you accountable and it’s super satisfying when you get to tick things off. But a to do list is never done. It eats up your time and reminds you of all that you haven’t yet done. So I have an alternative to suggest.

In this episode I share:

• My different kind of to do list
• What it includes and how to write it
• The huge benefits this list can bring you
• How to get started with it yourself

We might know logically that our needs are valid, that we’re not being unreasonable with what we want, that we’re allowed to take care of ourselves but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to do! We can find ourselves dealing with feelings of resistance and discomfort in ourselves, perhaps as well as the opinions of others.

In this episode I share:

• How I've tended to my own needs
• Where the resistance we feel comes from
• What hidden message it holds for us
• How to deal with the discomfort of resistance

When we want to make changes or try a new habit it can feel daunting or overwhelming, particularly if we put pressure on ourselves to do it right first time. But when we treat something as an experiment it eases the need (or belief) that it must be the solution we were looking for.

In this episode I share:

• The benefits of try something as an experiment
• Different ways you can conduct your experiment
• Dealing with doubts that pop up
• What next when your experiment ends

Choosing a word to guide, inspire and remind you of how you want to feel or what you want to do isn’t just for January. You can pick a guiding word any time for any time period and benefit from its gentle nudging support.

In this episode I share:

• Several questions/journal prompts to help you reflect if you already have a guiding word
• An exercise that connects you to the wisdom of your body (with the scientific explanation!) so you choose the word that’s right for you
• How my own guiding word has been challenging me
• And my intentions around my word for the rest of the year
