This week I had a question from a listener about how to deal with and rebuild confidence after suffering a loss.

Settle down with a brew for this one, it’s a long one! A few weeks ago, I sat down with my best babe Helen Anderson to talk about body confidence, fashion and style. In this episode we talk about Helen’s self-love and body confidence journey, how she found and defines her personal style, feeling good in our bodies and SO MUCH MORE. I love this episode and I know you will too!

One of the things I'm asked about most is how I started my business. So, this week I lay down (literally, in my bed on a rock n roll Saturday night) to tell you all about it. I'm also sharing 12 tips for those of you wanting to run your own small business too. 

(Apologies on the sound quality in this one, I guess, in hindsight a bed doesn't make for the best recording studio!)

Time for some honestly... I’ve spend most of my life not feeling good enough, and no matter what I’ve achieve I still, at times, feel that way. The belief that we aren’t “good enough” can end up controlling our entire life, especially our careers. If you don’t feel like you're good enough for a certain job, or to start your business, or sell your art – you're prob not going to do it!

If this sounds familiar then buckle up buttercup, because this is the episode for you.

All of us get stuck or overwhelmed at one time or another. Whether you’ve just got too much in your head or you’re worried about making the wrong choice, the analysis paralysis is REAL. If you want to stop self-sabotaging, if you want to be able to move your life forward, if you're bored of being stuck in a rut then this is the episode for you!

Let's talk about sex, baby!

 

Sex, and particularly masturbation, is often a taboo subject, especially for women. But there are so many benefits your self-confidence and self-esteem when you make your own pleasure a priority. It's not something to be ashamed of, it's something to be celebrated!
