The Confidence Chronicles

I have an amazing, beautiful woman and guest for you today, Madi from Yarli Creative. This woman is such a wonderful soul. I connected with Madi at an event we had and I am such a massive supporter of the art that she puts out into the world. 

Madi is an aboriginal artist, a mother, an incredible human being and in today’s podcast we talk about motherhood, the value and importance of aboriginal art and culture, hustling in your business, politics, empowering women, elevating marginalised voices...it’s a long episode y’all and it’s full of impact.

Madi is so talented. Go and check out her website! Her designs are incredible.

Why are we so harsh on ourselves? Our bodies are absolutely incredible. We have a heart that beats and keeps us alive, we have lungs that breathe without us realising, legs to walk, arms to write, text, whatever...you get my point. Our bodies are an absolute miracle and yet we hate on them so much. 

Our inner voice is so loud and so vicious sometimes judging all the things about ourselves that we don’t like, but we’re not appreciating all the things that our bodies do for us. What other species does this to themselves? A dog doesn’t walk around thinking these kinds of thoughts, they’re just present and accepting of what is.

I want to challenge you on these thoughts that you have about yourself.  You’re just a human trying to live your life. Give yourself a break and instead of focusing on the things that you’d like to change, take some time to appreciate all the amazing things that your body can do.

I am so honoured to be sharing this episode with you today.  I had the absolute privilege of interviewing my amazing guest, Kemi Nekvapil, who I’ve been looking up to ever since I saw her speak at the Business Chicks event. She is a trailblazing, powerhouse of a woman and I know you’re going to love her as I do. 

English born with Nigerian heritage, Kemi spent her entire childhood in foster care. Drawing on her early experiences of disempowerment, she now lives to inspire other women to create lives of worthiness and fulfilment, helping them shape a new paradigm to step into.  

Kemi is a personal coach, speaker, author, mother of teenagers, yoga teacher, endurance athlete... The list goes on. She recently returned from Texas training with Brenè Brown as a Dare To Lead Facilitator and in 2018 was invited to Richard Branson’s Necker Island where she sat on a panel discussing ‘humanity at work’. She is an empowering, hilarious woman and has so much depth to share with the world and with you in this episode today.

I am beyond blown away to have the opportunity to interview my greatest mentor, Byron Katie. She has changed my life, the life of my clients and anyone that has read her books, and experienced her teachings. 

The love that Byron Katie has for us all is so beautiful. She is completely present in every moment and I was overcome with feelings of deep gratitude to be able to speak to her. I have been doing The Work for four years now, and it has literally changed my life.

 You can watch the full episode via my YouTube here:

Some books I recommend you check out of hers are:

Loving what is - Byron Katie (https://www.booktopia.com.au/loving-what-is-byron-katie/book/9781400045372.html)

A mind at home with itself  - Byron Katie (https://www.amazon.com.au/Mind-Home-Itself-Asking-Questions/dp/0062651609)

It’s been awhile since I did a Life Lessons Series episode and I hope this one really helps those of you out there with autoimmune disorders. 

Two weeks before my first husband died, it was uncovered that I had an auto-immune disorder called Lichen Sclerosus which is basically a thinning and whitening of the skin which causes it to be itchy and peel off. It can happen anywhere on your body, but for me it presents in a very sensitive area, which you’ll hear all about in this episode.

 What I want you to take away from this episode is that instead of getting bogged down in what you have and how much it sucks, try treating it like a gift in some way. It doesn’t make it any less hard, but it does make you pay attention to what else is going on in your life. What could be causing a flare-up? Are you working too hard? Are you neglecting your spiritual work? Are you tired as hell? 

I know for me when I have a flare-up, it’s normally when I’ve got too much going on and I’m not resting. Always talk to your health professionals and do what you’ve got to do, but be aware of yourself and how you can be kinder to you first and foremost.

Nobody has it all together.  We all drop the ball sometimes.  And you know what?  Whoever you look up to, those celebrities who seem to have it all together on Instagram, guaranteed they are dropping the ball just as much as you, if not more. Because they’re human and we’re all making it up as we go.  

I stuff things up all the time but I know it’s part of the process and I trust that process.  It’s not supposed to be easy.  Life is hard but I know how to let the hard stuff strengthen me and teach me valuable lessons for next time.  Let the process strengthen you. Don’t get caught up in self-doubt and all that junk.  

If I could say one thing to you right now, it’s this... When you drop the ball (because you will), don’t make it a big deal.  Don’t get angry at yourself and make it a big drama and feel like everyone else is doing better than you.  No one can do it all!  If you dropped the ball you can pick it back up.  Be aware of what happened, make a new plan and move forward.  You got this.

I received a fantastic question from one of my listeners Cynthia, and it happens to be the most perfect time to release this episode as Melbourne prepares for our lockdown to end tomorrow. The question is: How do I manage social anxiety coming out of lockdown?

I am SO excited to get back out into the world y'all, but for some people, there is a lot of anxiety around how they will adjust to being back in the world with other people around. We've become so used to being in small groups with just our family, being in our houses most of the day, staying in our little bubble. What happens when we're able to freely move around again and all our public places, our shopping centres, our hair salons start having large numbers of people again. This may be anxiety-inducing for some of you and I want to let you know that's okay.

Check-in with yourself. Journalling is a really good idea in this situation. Write down the feelings that you're having about what it's going to be like to be back out in public with other humans and think about what you need to feel safe.

For those of you that have been following along on my journey for a while, you will know that 2020 was one of the biggest years of my life professionally. 

My business experienced incredible growth, I welcomed so many more members into the Sistahood and I launched my first mastermind to help businesswomen scale their businesses and make huge impact.

It has been so rewarding, but now looking back on that I am realising what a crazy time that was and how all of us were set up to fail as far as not taking time to rest, feeling like we needed to hustle to change our business models due to covid and to give as much as we could to our communities who were all needing support. 

So I did all the things. I got it all done, but by the end of the year I was severely rundown, my immune system was shot, I had a fatty liver and I was wrecked. 

I vowed that 2021 would be different and then the year started out to be just as crazy if not crazier than 2020. Something needs to give. I am now truly realising and leaning into the fact that I need to slow down. I have been burnt out and it’s exhausting. 

My guest today on the podcast is Amie Mcnee and is the perfect woman to chat to about this topic. This is actually her second time on the podcast too. 

Amie is a phenomenal writer and you need to go follow her on Instagram. She is so honest, thought-provoking and really honest about what she needs. Amie has written extensively on the topic of burnout and I want you to really take what you can from this episode. Please learn from the experiences that we share today and take a look at how you run your life too.
