The Aligned Ambition Podcast

So, I think we can all agree that this has been a year like no other.

If you'd tried to explain what's happened this year to somebody this time last year, they would have thought you were crazy!

But we find ourselves in this situation and to be fair, there is little we can do about the external factors.

So join me in an unreview of the year and let's see what we can learn from the last 366 days!

Highlights:

{1.36} The meaning (and cure) for dis-ease in your life

{2:34} What 2020 has taught us

{4:55} Why toxic positivity helps nobody

{8:17} Will it matter in 5 years time?

Today I have the absolute pleasure of sharing with you an interview which I did with the lovely Hayley McDonnell a good few months back (she was actually the first person I interviewed for the podcast!).

In today's show I had the honour of interviewing Health Coach to busy mums Wendy Griffith. Wendy specialises in helping mums create healthier habits in their lives so they can have the same energy as their kids. I love her straight talking but friendly advice and came away with some great nuggets of information from this. We discussed not only how she got started, but she also shared amazing advice for you if you're looking to start and grow your own business too. Highlights: {04:47} If you're not in a position to give up your income to go after your dream (and let's face it, who is?) then this is how Wendy worked around it {07:28} Who not to take advice from when you're just starting out {19:50} Why taking care of ourselves is not 'me first' but 'me too' {24:54} How nothing exists inside our comfort zone {29:20} If you're waiting for your knight in shining armour to come and save you, this bit's for you!

The annual typical earnings of AICs can be found here. The typical results are different for everyone. Results vary depending on individual effort, body composition, age, eating patterns, exercise, etc.

The culture that in order to be successful you have to force your way to the top, crush your competitors and give yourself a nervous breakdown on the way is not a healthy or necessary one and this in itself comes from a place of fear.

Fear that you don't really deserve the success if you've not half killed yourself trying to achieve it. And I don't mean that you don't have to work to be successful. Not at all.

But I do mean that there's a difference between working in your zone of genius and thriving and the equivalent of pushing a heavy boulder up a hill on a daily basis.

So in todays show I'm talking about how to get into that flow state.

Highlights:

{1:51} Flow vs. Forcing {3:46} Why going with the flow makes your life infinitely better {4:26} What if you're struggling to charge for your genius {6.35} Signs you are forcing rather than flowing {8:10} My top tips for moving into flow If you're ready to create your own success story, grab your FREE 30 Day Success Plan >>> HERE Join the conversation after over in the private community
