RE: The Podcast

As we near the halfway point of the year, it's a good time to down tools and reflect on how it's going so far. (Tbf i's always a good time to do some reflection, but essentially when we're somehow speeding through June!) We're sharing one of our favourite exercises to go through that's super simple, but super helpful: stop, start, continue. 

Have you ever considered affiliate marketing in your business before? Whether you're thinking of using it to sell your offers or promote other people's, we're chatting through them today.

Today's episode is an absolute corker of a convo -- with the brilliant Selina Barker. Life design and careers coach, author of "Burnt Out" and founder of Project You, Selina has dedicated the past 17 years of her life to helping people love the life they live - and a huge part of this is in managing burnout, dealing with stress, and managing your energy. We delve into all of this with Selina's totally refreshing (and right!) view on it, which is: burnout isn't inevitable, you deserve better, and we can make it happen.

We love you!!! And we'll be back soon!!! And this is the first time I've ever been able to confidently mark an episode as "clean" rather than "explicit"!!!

How do you feel when someone asks you what you do? Do you clam up? Mumble? Try and climb out of the nearest window? Today we're talking about the importance of finding your 'red thread' -- that is, the thing that explains what you do, and helps you explain what you do in turn. Ellie's new focus (as Eleanor Mollie) is on this red thread idea, so you also get a sneak peek into what she's working on!!!
