October 02, 2024 For those subscribed loyal listeners quick off the mark to listen to today's episode
Hello lovely loyal listeners, firstly a huge thank you for supporting the podcast, subscribing and being so quick to tune into today's episode.
A technical glitch meant that instead of the 38 minute part 1 episode that we had intended, the full 1 hour episode went live first thing. We've now corrected it, but if you've already subscribed and downloaded the show, your podcast player is likely still feeding you the one hour episode. Great if you'd like to listen to the whole lot in one go, but if you'd rather, as we intended get the episode in two (slightly more boundaried) shorter episodes then you simply need to mark that episode as played and restart your app and the new part 1 should magically appear. Thanks for bearing with us and apologies if you thought we'd gone slightly mad. Thanks again for listening.

October 02, 2024 Renegotiating Boundaries Part 1.

Setting expectations and managing yourself and your clients when things need to shift.
Boundaries are tricky to set and hold for many of us, but absolutely essential when you want to do business on your own terms. This episode is split into two parts and this week we are talking about ways to establish boundaries and manage expectations up front, to avoid things having to get sticky.
We are reframing boundary setting, helpful for those conflict avoidant folks amongst you, and we dig into what to consider and how to manage it when life happens and our capacity and availability shifts. There's some tips in there about what to think about when re-setting boundaries in a kind and human way and plenty more coming up next week.
We really hope it's helpful and look forward to part two next week.

September 25, 2024 Brand, Business or Life Clarity...?
Welcome back lovely listeners, today we are back and talking about one of our absolute favourite and essential topics CLARITY.
We all need clarity, but at what level?
Brand clarity is one thing, but in order for brand clarity to really have the impact and realise it's true potential, it is ideally underpinned by solid business clarity and, for those of us interested in running business on our own terms, life clarity. In this episode we will dig into the various layers and intricacies of clarity. How do we discern what we need at what time and why does it even matter?
There is a shameless plug at the start of this episode for our Style and Substance Breakfast event on 17th October at Granger and Co, Chelsea. If you'd like to join us in person for some inspirational, in person connection, then you can book via The Brand Stylist Website. https://www.thebrand-stylist.com/the-breakfast-event. We do hope to see you there.

September 18, 2024 Menopause, Midlife and Are We Even Relevant Anymore?
Welcome back lovely listeners, in this episode we are keeping it real and tackling the very present question for so many of us at our stage of midlife, whether we are still relevant. We dig into the realities of how menopause, peri menopause and ageing generally affects our capacity to run our businesses and show up in the world with purpose, meaning and relevance. It's an intimate, no holes barred conversation which I hope you enjoy. As ever we would love to hear your thoughts and if this resonates, do let us know.

August 14, 2024 Summer Series Ep4. The Essential Vitality Review
This week we are moving away from overwhelm (here's hoping) and focusing our attention on Vitality. Our absolute favourite topic as we both wholeheartedly believe it is the sustaining and driving force of our businesses and what allows us to really leverage their true potential. This weeks challenge is a Vitality Review and you can find all the questions from the review I walk through with Fi over on my blog www.elizabethcairns.com or under the resources tab, just look for 'Vitality Review'.
I hope it's illuminating and do let us know how you get on.

August 07, 2024 Summer Series Ep3. Prioritising to Reduce Overwhelm
Having created some space, hopefully turned down the noise a little, this week our short and sweet challenge is intended to help you sift through the spinning plates and those things that are taking up too much mental load and do a little rationalising and prioritisation. It shouldn't take you much more than 20 minutes with the end result being a clear, hopefully reduced and at considered list of the shizzle you actually need to get done, rather than it all feeling like a jumbled mess in your poor overloaded brain. Hope it's helpful folks, happy listening.
