Put Yourself First

Have you sat on your couch and asked yourself that question? “Why is it SO hard to achieve my goals?” I’ve thought about this a lot in recent months. Both in my work with clients and my personal life, I’m constantly setting and working towards goals. It’s part of my language and everyday life. I’ve got the tool belt fully stocked: time management, planning, productivity, prioritising, stationery hacks, the best apps. You name it, I’ve got a growth hack to help you get there. So why did I wake up a few months ago and say, “Fuck. Why am I not there yet? Why is it so hard?” I had goal-setting burnout. After a long afternoon putting the world to rights with friends over coffee, it dawned on me. In today's podcast episode, I'm sharing the HARDEST part about setting goals - showing up with no results. If you can relate, see this as a serious sign and encouragement to keep going.

Today I'm chatting with HANX co-founder (and gynaecologist) Dr Sarah Welsh. HANX are condoms made by women, for women. Forget what you thought about condoms before. HANX are super thin, comfortable and a pleasure to use (in more ways than one!) In today's chat Sarah and I talk about: - Why women aren't using condoms and how it's impacting our health - The taboo and stigma around women buying and carrying condoms - How HANX was created by women, for women, in every way - And of course, because it's me, some top business advice from Farah for aspiring female entrepreneurs :) Listen to this one with headphones as I recorded it on the fly at my parent's house (no wifi at ours) mid-move! Apologies for the change in sound quality, things will be back to normal soon.

Death and loss is such a taboo, despite the fact that we will all deal with it. Ashleigh Guthrie shares her incredible journey with grief and healing today. From never picking up a self-help book in her life, to hosting group meditation and sound-healing ceremonies. Ashleigh using her grief journey, the loss of her Mother, to help others is so inspiring. If you've been touched by grief or trauma, I hope today's conversation encourages you to connect with yourself, take time to reflect and process. Please reach out to Ashleigh if you feel like her work could help. She's helped me so much in the group sessions I've been to. https://www.ashleighguthrie.com/ https://www.instagram.com/ashleighguthrie01/?hl=en Ashleigh's favourite resource on Audible - Advanced Energy Anatomy by Caroline Myss https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Advanced-Energy-Anatomy-Audiobook/B004F4OREC?pf_rd_p=1f9c9693-8f74-4098-8f15-d9ce59415341&pf_rd_r=WE8S6D6KXZA0NQBWS0EV&ref=a_pd_The-Ca_c5_product_1_3
