Today I am joined by Dr Shauna Shapiro - best-selling author, clinical psychologist and internationally recognized expert in mindfulness and self-compassion.

There was no better topic to end our interviews this year other than mindfulness, intention setting and self compassion. Many of you like me may have found self-compassion really cringy or awkward, which is exactly why I wanted to get Dr Shauna on the show to take us through the practical impact of it (in the science we trust), to debunk many of the things I originally thought towards it. Get ready to hear some practical tips you can start applying today to boost not only self compassion, but your all round mindfulness which are going to be two essential tools to help you thrive in 2024!

We also chat through perfectionism (you know I'm guilty of and working on this) and tips for us perfectionists in goal setting for the new year in a healthy way! She shares her traumatic and dark experiences that completely shaped her life and mindset, time in monasteries, scientific findings that completely blew me out of the water and lastly but so important, INTENTIONS and INTENTION SETTING!!

This one is jam packed - don't miss it!

We made it - the final month of 2023! Those of you who have been here for a while know I LOVE ending the year on a reflective episode. This reflection changes year on year and I intuitively create these based off how I'm feeling and what I've been speaking about with you all.

A moment for grounding, pause and reflection to gear you up for 2024! I hope you enjoy it.

In this episode I share some honest thoughts about my struggle doing nothing and the internal beliefs that have honestly blocked me from embracing that time. Ahead of the festive season/holidays this is so important because how many times have you gotten to the holidays and either (a) gotten sick or (b) been in such a whirlwind of busyness that by the time you're on break, you're too exhausted to enjoy anything - not this year!

I'll share some conscious tips I'm going to start to try and embrace now from early December to enjoy my holidays in a more intentional way PLUS I share some new found revelations I had with the impact of alcohol on my intuition.

Great to listen to get you primed and intention pre-holiday season!

As a self-proclaimed A-type personality with a penchant for ticking off to-do lists, I've grappled with finding joy in the journey and find myself fixating on the destination only.

How did some people go on to achieve greatness? As a young Psychology graduate, he found the answer – mindset. He now works as a Peak Performance Coach, help more people define their own version of ‘success’ and also help them get there - all things I am excited to unpack today.
