What do Oprah Winfrey, Serena Williams, Bill Gates, Hugh Jackman have in common? They all have coaches.

It’s not just famous celebrities who have coaches. Everyday men and women also have coaches.

A coach is someone who can support you to move forward towards your desires and goals through a process of asking powerful questions.  

Maybe you’re new to coaching and wondering how the heck does it work? Or maybe you’ve worked with a coach and had a less than stellar experience? Or worked with a coach in one area and dive deeper into something else. 

No matter where you sit on the spectrum in this podcast we explore in greater depth how to know if you need a coach and most importantly how to find the right one for you.

Whenever I go into a bookstore, I’m immediately drawn to the self development section….

I’m absolutely fascinated with anything to do with understanding humans.

Whilst self development is a great thing (I mean who doesn’t want to unlock their potential and enjoy life more fully?).....Like with anything, there is a shadow side…

In this episode we explore the shadow side of self development and how to know if you’re getting caught in the shadows of perpetual thought loops and feeling like you’re “not enough” or “there yet.”

We’ve all heard the term “mid life crisis.” Some define it as a transition of identity and self confidence that occurs in middle aged individuals. Or a conflict between a person’s perception of themselves and their lives as they think they are and what they want them to be.

Now more than ever, given recent times, more of us are questioning our lives, we’re exploring really what matters and questioning how we’re showing up. 

I believe this is a good thing! 

In this episode we explore how to navigate a mid life crisis as a means to grow and come home to the REAL you.

When I was working in Corporate, it took me a long time to even entertain the idea that I had options. Let alone that I could leave and do something else.

I was adamant that I didn’t have an option or a choice. And that I HAD to stay and somehow make it work. 

The truth is I had the great privilege of actually having a choice. And that really is a privilege.

There was immense guilt and shame wrapped up around having the option to leave a fabulous company and role, with awesome opportunities for career progression….

Even though I had savings in the bank and could “afford” to take time out to reassess, I couldn't even see alternative options for my career because I was so fixated on needing money and that steady paycheque. 

Back then, meaning and money were at odds with each other. I had to choose one.

Option A: I could make a lot of money - but the work wouldn’t be meaningful. Plus I had to work really hard.

Or

Option B: I could choose to focus on meaning - but not make a lot of money.

In any case, I had to make a choice.

These days I believe that you can have meaning and money in your career - with a few caveats.

Have you taken lots of personality assessments? StrengthsFinder, MyersBriggs, The Enneagram, but still don’t feel like you’re 100% clear on what makes you uniquely you?

Whilst these systems are fabulous they don’t take into account a deeper side of you - your soul. The unique essence that you couldn't shake even if you tried.

I call this your Soul Archetype. Your soul archetype really explores the being side of you - beyond your work title, roles and qualifications. It’s the part of you that you couldn't shake even if you tried because it’s inherently you.

A monkey doesn't know that it has a natural ability to climb a tree, a fish doesn’t know that it has a natural ability to swim in water. A cheetah doesn’t know it’s the fastest land animal on the planet.

Knowing your soul archetype helps you claim the REAL you so you can make a clear decision on your career direction so that you don’t have to be a fish trying to climb a tree or a monkey swimming in water….

We’ve been taught one way to be successful and show up in life -- and it doesn’t take into account who we inherently are. And so if we’re to pursue a soul aligned career that we love then we need to work with who we really are.

In this episode we unpack the Soul Archetypes in greater depth and the 3 ways that you can begin to work with yours in order to get on and stay on the right path for you.

Ever wondered if you can pursue a meaningful career that you love and then doubted yourself? 

If you answered “yes” 🙋🏻‍♀️ I want you to know you are not alone my friend.

I’ve definitely had moments in my life where I’ve had an idea to do somethin else or start a project, only to have my mind promptly swoop in with all the reasons why I “can’t” and “shouldn’t” follow my ideas and heart. 

In this episode we explore the #1 killer that's stopping you from choosing and living out your Soul Aligned Career. 

We also dive deeper to explore the 3 pillars of self-sabotage to be mindful of and how you can identify which one is playing out for you in your life now. 

We’ll also workshop how you can move through what’s holding you back so that you can get on track to doing work that you love.

If you’ve ever asked “what’s my purpose” or “why am I here?” …… this podcast is for you. 

For the longest time I would ask myself these big questions, wondering what the point was to all this working hard, corporate climbing business. 

I brought that same chasing and searching energy to figure out my purpose and ended up looking outside of myself for answers…. only to realise that I had been looking in completely the wrong places 🤦🏻‍♀️

In this episode we explore the 3 most common myths about finding and living your purpose so that you don’t have to waste time focusing on the wrong things and instead let it be easy.

For the longest time I used to want to know what I was here for. I would envy my friends and colleagues who seemed to be so clear and connected to where they were headed. 

Some were destined to act and perform. Some were destined to launch start-ups. Some were destined to become C suite badasses at major professional law firms. Some were destined to teach. 

Because I didn’t have a strong pull to anything, I followed the path that made the most sense and helped “keep my options open”....

• Get a good degree
• Land a job at a Fortune 500 Company
• Climb the corporate ladder

All throughout my career I would question, “Am I really on the right path?” or “Is there more to life than this?” 

My own journey and struggle with this is how I landed on doing this precise work in my business. Helping women figure out what makes them tick and how to build a career and life of meaning and purpose? 

Which I define as a Soul Aligned Career.

If you’ve ever asked yourself these same questions andare questioning your path, this podcast episode is for you. 

Join me as we talk about what a soul aligned career is and isn’t.
