Negative feedback is something we’re all familiar with - whether it be in a professional capacity or via a personal relationship. It can come as constructive criticism or abrupt commentary, either way, it impacts us. I don’t know about you, but in the moment when receiving negative feedback, I usually plunge into emotions like embarrassed, shy, disappointed, guilty or any other yucky type of emotion.

And so, today I want to empower you with some insights into this reaction and how we can look at feedback objectively, remove the emotion, and in the process understand something deeper about ourselves!

If you're anything like me and feel like you're a bit of a perfectionist, then you're probably not foreign to the idea of having expectations on yourself across multiple areas of your life (especially work/career ones)! Today I want to chat about where these come from and explore when they can be good, and motivate us, but also when they can be bad and steer us away from what we genuinely want.

I'll also dive deep into how to work out what success means to you so that you can make sure your expectations are aligned to what you value.

Did you know 1 in 5 Australians suffer from a disability?

On this episode we chat with Lisa Cox — disability advocate, author, business consultant and media professional. Lisa aims to improve representation of the disabled community throughout mainstream pop culture by leading conversations about the important of representation and guiding business on how they can assist in inclusion. 

We talk about how disability is different to each person, how she finds balance with her disability by honouring her body and how important gratitude is. We also discuss the idea of ‘toxic positivity’ and how empowering disability can actually be if you allow it.

Today I want to use this BTS to dive into the relationship category of balance, which is not one I’ve jumped into much on a solo episode before. When we have ties or relationships that are ‘toxic’ or have an element where something just feels off about them, they can really impinge on our balance, and critically, the way we show up as ourselves.

So, in todays’ episode you’re going to hear my thoughts on how to choose relationships that are best for you, which ones to avoid to protect your balance and when you might be blocking yourself from the right people! To help you take action on these principles, you'll find some journal or meditation prompts below - use them however you like to work through the takeaways from today's ep - enjoy!

JOURNAL PROMPTS:

What value do I want from a relationship/friendship with ______? *Can also be done as a hypothetical if you’re looking for new friends or a new partner i.e. What value do I want from a friendship?

What have some past relationships taught be about what I DO NOT want in a relationship/friendship? What values can I see I hold as a result of these?

Are my current relationships/friendships allowing me to be my most authentic self?

If there are some that are not, why am I holding on to them? Is there other value that can justify my time/energy being involved in this relationship?

Can I identify any limiting beliefs I hold about what I deserve or am worthy of that could be influencing my decision to maintain these ‘toxic’ relationships? If yes, can I rewrite them to attract what I do deserve in my life?

Today I want to dive into something I’ve spoken about before in parts but not to this degree of specificity before and that is, boundaries I feel are non-negotiable if we want to protect and have a healthy mindset.

I’m going to focus on three key boundaries I feel we should all set to protect our connection to self and these are Boundaries with - people who’s voices overpower your own, topics that trigger you (or topics with certain people), work boundaries. Tune in to learn more!
