In this week's episode, we're talking anxiety.  

Starting with a deep dive into the physiological and neurological mechanisms at play, we uncover the fascinating interplay between the amygdala and the body's fight or flight response. You'll gain a newfound understanding of how anxiety manifests in the body, from heightened heart rates to the clench of sweaty palms, and how it affects our overall well-being.

But our exploration doesn't stop there. We unravel the complexities of living with persistent anxiety, shedding light on the toll it takes on both physical and cognitive health. You'll discover practical coping strategies and treatment options, from therapy to lifestyle adjustments, designed to empower you on your journey towards calm and clarity.

What truly sets this episode apart is our exploration of the mind-body connection. We delve into the profound impact of anxiety on our relationship with our bodies, uncovering how fear of bodily sensations can perpetuate the cycle of distress. Through insightful discussions, you'll learn to cultivate a deeper awareness of your emotions and develop resilience in the face of uncertainty.

But perhaps the most transformative aspect of this episode lies in our exploration of identity. We challenge conventional notions of self-perception, inviting you to reimagine yourself beyond the confines of anxiety. As we unravel the layers of self-discovery, you'll be inspired to embrace the courage to let go of old identities and step into the possibility of growth and transformation.

Join us on this transformative journey as we navigate the depths of anxiety and emerge with newfound clarity, resilience, and self-understanding. Listen now and embark on the path towards inner peace and empowerment.

I would love to hear your takeaways and any questions you may have.

Have you ever been told that you're too sensitive, that you need to *chill out*?

 In this week's episode, we delve into the powerful impact of suppressing emotions due to being highly sensitive and being told we're too much. We learn that feeling is not allowed and so we learn to suppress and ignore instead.

Discover how this affects our nervous system and stifles our big dreams and visions.

If you've meticulously planned your path to success but still feel blocked, this episode is for you. We explore beyond typical tools like thought work and affirmations to uncover the missing piece: understanding and regulating our emotions.

Join us as we explore the vital role of emotions and bodily sensations, and how mastering our nervous system can unleash unstoppable potential in any endeavor.

In this deeply personal and insightful episode, I invite you into my journey with NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), offering a glimpse into how this powerful approach has transformed both my life and my therapeutic practice. Amidst the warm ambiance of my new space in Ibstock, England, I share the story of how NLP became my guiding light in navigating anxiety and panic attacks.

Despite initial skepticism fueled by online chatter, I embarked on a profound exploration of NLP, ultimately discovering its profound impact firsthand. Now, I'm eager to debunk myths and misconceptions surrounding NLP, shedding light on its potential for meaningful, lasting change.

Throughout the episode, I weave personal anecdotes with professional insights, painting a vivid picture of how NLP can unlock newfound awareness and resilience. From uncovering subconscious thought patterns to fostering holistic mind-body connections, NLP offers a roadmap to self-discovery and empowerment.

But this journey isn't about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions. It's about embracing the nuanced nature of personal growth, recognising that healing is a gradual process that unfolds over time. Through compassionate guidance and collaborative exploration, NLP and coaching emerge as catalysts for profound transformation, aligning individuals with their deepest aspirations.

So, if you're curious about how NLP can illuminate your path to healing and self-realisation, join me on this soulful journey of discovery. Together, let's explore the boundless potential of the human mind and the transformative power of intentional change.

As I'm taking a break over the festive period, I'm sharing some of my favourite episodes so far. 

This week, we are joined by Clare Wild, a business and personal coach who supports quiet leaders to achieve the confidence they need to succeed. 

This was a very honest and vulnerable discussion around what it's like to start and run a business as a naturally quiet, introverted, highly sensitive person. 

We talked about so many different things which I know will help you if you're feeling a bit of a misfit in the online space. 

We discussed:

• The strength and power that can be found in accepting yourself for who you are
• What it means to be a powerful, quiet leader who is also an introvert and highly sensitive. 
• What you might need to add into your day to support you as a highly sensitive, quiet introvert
• What it means to be a recovering people pleaser in the online space
• How you can stand out as a quiet leader
• The difficulties with being visible at the start of your business and how to navigate through it
• The importance of self-trust and finding your way
• The importance of celebration and support

I would love to hear your thoughts on the episode and please, do go and connect with Clare using the links below,
