44 min - S5:Ep 3,Cath Lloyd on Resilience
In conversation with Cath Lloyd, a British TEDx Speaker, life coach and author.
In this episode, host Heather Thompson interviews resilience coach Cath Lloyd on managing tough situations and navigating the complexities of life.
Explore what it means to be resilient and discover the importance of positive coping mechanisms to thrive through change, crisis, and life's unexpected curveballs. Resilience involves the uncomfortable process of untangling complex thoughts and emotions, embracing brutal self-honesty, and overcoming personal objections to the help and change we need.
Cath's work as a resilience coach is deeply rooted in her own personal and painful life experiences, including her father's gender transition during her youth and her son's traumatic neck injury. These events have shaped her understanding and approach to resilience.
In this episode, you'll gain clarity on:
Understanding resilience and using positive and negative coping mechanisms
Managing change and loss, including emotions and complexities from significant life events
Practicing self-honesty and forgiveness by confronting buried thoughts and emotions
Recognizing the impact of emotional health on physical well-being
Embracing readiness and commitment to change, receiving help, and committing to personal growth
Ready to become more resilient? Tune in to learn how mastering resilience is a critical habit of highly successful women.
---
Key Takeaways:
Resilience is about managing well during tough times and being able to access coping mechanisms to function and get through the situation more easily.
Coping mechanisms can be both positive and negative, and it's important to focus on positive coping mechanisms that help unravel complex thoughts and manage daily life.
Choice plays a role in resilience, but even when we choose change, there can still be challenges and losses that we have to manage.
Resilience requires self-awareness and self-honesty to untangle and address limiting beliefs and emotions.
Forgiving oneself can be just as difficult as forgiving others, but it is an important part of the resilience process.
Habits and routines can support resilience, but it's important to leave room for adaptability and flexibility to enhance the ability to navigate change and crisis.

Feeling overwhelmed and stretched thin? This episode is for you!
In conversation with Rachel Radway, a certified leadership and executive coach, mastermind facilitator, and author. Rachel is passionate about helping high-sensory women leaders thrive professionally and personally, by learning to find better alignment in their work and lives.
In this episode, Heather Thompson interviews Rachel Radway about the concept of boundaries and their role in leading a highly successful life.
Discover practical tips and insights on setting boundaries for work-life balance and energy management. Learn how to confidently say no, navigate challenging conversations, and prioritize your well-being with empathy, clarity, and kindness.
In this episode, you'll gain clarity on:

Ready to reclaim your time and energy? Tune in to learn how mastering boundaries is a critical habit of highly successful women.
---
Key Takeaways:
Setting boundaries is crucial for thriving personally and professionally.
Women are often socialized to be givers and struggle with saying no and putting themselves first.
Boundaries can extend to various aspects of life, including sleep, work calendar, and personal preferences.
Communicating boundaries effectively involves aligning them with values and goals and finding alternative solutions.
Saying no is a complete sentence and can be done kindly and without damaging relationships. Not all jobs can be done in a 40-hour week, and productivity declines after a certain point. Taking breaks and time off is crucial for long-term productivity.
It's important to ask yourself and the meeting host if a meeting is necessary and if there is an agenda before accepting the invitation.
Companies can set boundaries around meetings, such as having no meeting days or requiring specific criteria for inviting people.
Energy management is key to maintaining boundaries, and it involves checking in with yourself and making decisions based on how you feel and what aligns with your goals.
Communicate boundaries with kindness and clarity, and let go of other people's reactions and emotions.
