Start A Movement With Your Message

I try to reflect twice a year, at the start and in the middle. This year I'm following these prompts below which you can also use.

Learned - what did I learn in 2021?

Achieved - what am I proud of?

Gratitude - what am I grateful for?

Goals - what are my goals for this year? These aren't just about achievements but how I want to feel? What do I want to do? What do I want to experience?

Watch - what do I need to watch out for? What might hold me back or trigger me? What might I need to work on and heal from? What thoughts and habits are controlling me?

Listen - what is my gut telling me? What do I need to listen to? How can I be more aligned with my intuition?

In this episode, I'm sharing my answers, what I've learnt and achieved this year, as well as what I'm grateful for in the last year and how I can take these things and carry them into 2022.

In this episode, I'm joined by Hannah Russell, the co-founder of Mags Creative, a leading independent podcast production and promotion company which reaches millions of ears every month. The company works with the likes of Facebook and Google to bring their stories to life in audio, as well as famous faces (or voices!) such as Munroe Bergdorf, Laura Whitmore, and Gareth Thomas.

Hannah shares her story of how Mags Creative was founded and how refreshing she finds the world of podcasting, with the opportunity to niche, reach a highly engaged audience and grow in a sustainable way.

We discuss the impact of screen fatigue and Hannah's belief that audio is the future as we all become over-stimulated in a world of excess screen time and oversaturated social media accounts.

Hannah generously shares her tips for starting and building a successful podcast and the importance of realising that podcasting isn't a 'get rich quick scheme'. She also answers the question we all want to know - do you need social media to build a successful podcast?

This episode is for anyone with a podcast or thinking about starting one.

As we head towards the end of 2021 and the start of a new year, I want to think about the goals we set and the pressure we often put on ourselves to help people and achieve our big mission or big vision.

It's easy to feel overwhelmed if you're someone with a massive mission to help people and help the world. When you're so consumed by the impact you want to have, it can stop you enjoying the present and realising that the small things you can do to help others are often just as impactful.

In this episode, I'm discussing the pressure we put on ourselves and the accompanying guilt we feel for taking time to ourselves when we feel we have a mission to fulfil.

I also want to remind you that small acts of kindness and small changes to help one person can have a ripple effect. From starting small, you can have a great impact when you transform the day of just one person.

And if you're struggling with this, you're not alone. I'm sharing my experience of this too and how we can all support each other through small acts of kindness.

Pip is the Founder of Edge NLP and is passionate about change and embracing the human dynamic. Pip brings fun and high energy to all those she comes in contact with through their NLP journeys.

If you're new to NLP, it means Neuro-Linguistic Programming and in this episode, Pip really helps us understand what that means and the science behind NLP.

Pip talks to me about how you can use the best of your conscious and unconscious mind in order to do your best work. Recognising that we can control and change our own narrative to be the person we want to be, including how we choose to make sense of the world, show up and respond accordingly.

We discuss the power of having the awareness of the impact of your thoughts and the ability to reprogramme your thoughts, as well as challenging and changing limiting beliefs and deep-rooted habits and behaviours. Plus Pip shares some success stories of the transformational power of NLP.

This episode is a great opportunity to learn about the science behind NLP from a specialist and hear how you can use practical applications of it.

In episode 27 I'm joined by former teacher, award winning podcaster and entrepreneur, Gaby Mendes.

Gaby hosts the Talk Twenties podcast in which she covers a range of important topics that aren't taught in the education system in the UK and yet are vital to young people as they navigate adulthood and their twenties, post-higher education.

From buying your first house to career progression and managing your finances, Gaby discusses the societal expectations that come with these milestones in your twenties, and yet no one is telling you HOW to actually accomplish them.

Combined with the modern-day pressures of social media, comparison and the so-called 'snowflake' stereotype that's often given to Millennials, Gaby's podcast, online resources and workshops aim to navigate these challenges and provide life skills and knowledge to young people who are newly entering the world of independent adulthood.

To find out more about Gaby, you can find her on Instagram: @talktwenties and @iamgabymendes. You can also listen to the Talk Twenties Podcast wherever you get your podcasts

In episode 26 I'm joined by Yoga Teacher and Coach, Nicole Gomez.

Nicole talks about her own experiences which have informed her practice to help her clients work through their own trauma and reconnect with their bodies through yoga. Nicole's message and aim is to help people rediscover and reconnect with who they are and bring joy back to their relationship with their bodies.

Nicole discusses the various ways that people not only cope with trauma and stress but also the feeling that society expects you to pick yourself up and carry on, without the necessary steps to process that trauma, anxiety or stress.

She also discusses self-worth and the external validation that we unconsciously or consciously seek from around us, rather than sitting with our own discomfort to process it.

Nicole also does a short neck relaxation with us in this episode, to help release the stress we all hold in our necks from our day-to-day lives. (13m)

This is an episode not only for people who practice yoga and meditation but also for those wanting to understand more about how their own stress and anxiety is connected to their body.
