Right guys - it's nearly the end of March and we know you're all feeling a bit sluggish when it comes to that motivation needed to hit your goals for the year.

Gone is the January motivation, we're almost at the end of Q1 and we get it, things get busy, life gets in the way, other things come up. But we also know you're a go getter, and you don't want to get to the end of 2023 having not achieved what you set out to do.

So let us introduce 'monk mode' - a mindset that will get you super laser focussed and eliminate all distractions to help you get clear on your goals and achieve them in the next 3 months or less.

In this episode we will explain how to set yourself up for your own monk mode period, what we will be doing during our own monk mode and how it'll set you up to successful achieve your goals throughout the year.

Here's to you - you absolute superstar, keep going - you got this!

How much is social media affecting your daily life?

Do you get stuck in a scroll hole and eventually re-surface feeling overwhelmed, deflated and confused?

Us too – so this month we decided to delete our social media’s (yes all of them) to see what changes it caused on our mindset and general wellbeing. And the results, after only one week, have been incredible. 

In this week’s episode find out what led us to the decision to come off social media, how it has affected our daily lives and what lessons we will take forward.

This week we are doing things slightly different and answering questions sent to us by previous interviewee and avid listener, Ian - founder of CBDiablo! Ian has sent us in some really interesting, if not slightly tricky questions that we are answering based on our varied experience over the years. These questions range from how to build a team, dealing with tricky customers, staying true to your vision, when to get lawyers involved and more! We found this such a cool way of answering questions that we might not usually cover/think to cover and want to encourage our other listeners to write into us with their questions. Use the links below to send yours in and we promise to discuss all that we receive on an upcoming podcast episode!

Welcome back to this week’s episode of the corporate dropouts! This week we are revisiting a topic that we have covered previously, but with new wisdom and learnings gained since the previous episode two years ago! 

That’s right - we are talking, Imposter syndrome! Aka lack of self confidence, fear of being unworthy/undeserving, scared to dream too big etc etc.

Sadly we’re not here to tell you we can cure you of ever feeling this way again, but we are here to give you some real fail safe methods to overcome the feelings and still get everything you want! 

This is a perfect time to face your imposter syndrome to ensure it doesn’t affect any of your goal setting this year!

Tune in and let us know what you think!

2. Positively Wealthy by Emma Mumford

A lot of people go running head first into the new year - ‘new year, new me’ and all. But often, by forgetting to look back at the year just gone we lose touch with a lot of vital lessons - both positive and negative - that we should be taking into next year.
Reflecting on the year past is a great exercise to do during the last few days of the year. Read back through your journal (however cringe/painful), reflect on goals achieved, or not, reflect on what patterns of behaviour you’ve overcome or instigated etc.

All of this allows you to move forward from the place you are now, without forgetting anything you’ve learnt so far. It’s crazy what things you’ll come across in your journal that you will have completely forgotten about.

So finish off your 2022 chapter with a reflections exercise, using this podcast as a guide to help you get it all out, and set you up for an amazing 2023!

During this episode we do our own reflections and share our 4 key learnings from the year, which we hope will provide you with some wisdom, comfort and guidance in your own journey.

1. The Everyday Hero Manifesto by Robin Sharma
2.  Do Less by Kate Northrup
3. The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

Guess what – here’s another podcast that is talking about hitting your goals in 2023. But we do things differently at The Corporate Dropouts! And both of us achieved all our goals in 2022, so we have a bit of experience in this field.

Yes bitches, this time next year you will be looking back – just like we are right now – and thinking, god damn what a year!! 

We both have extremely busy lives – and reinventing the wheel and instilling mega time sucking habits into our everyday was not going to work for us.

We wanted to level up in a way that felt easy – and we did it! This episode we break down how you can too.

Welcome back to series 3!!

This week we want to talk about shadow work! Now, if you don't know what this is, that's okay. Shadow work is almost like self therapy. It's getting really honest with yourself and addressing the blocks you are feeling that are stopping you from levelling up.

Do you feel like you've hit a plateau in life? Even though you're hitting your 10k a day, eating your protein, organising your day to a T, you still feel stuck?

That's exactly how we felt!

But don't worry, that's exactly why we recorded this ep, to help you (and ourselves) get over these blockers.

Are you living by your values? Could this be stopping you from feeling like your true, authentic, amazing self? We go into lots of things that could be blocking you on this ep, so take a listen!

Your hosts are Christina Gough, owner of the very successful Marketing agency - Formation Marketing, and Ellie Gough, the owner of the cutesttt lingerie brand - Untold Story

So, if you're a business owner, start-up, side hustle queen, or merely thinking about dropping out of the corporate world to start living the dream boss babe life, then join us every week for new episodes!

Welcome back to series 3, and this time you can watch us in action, as well as listen to us waffle on, as per.

This week we have ditched the wine (can't handle the hangovers) and discuss how we are finding our perfect routine for optimum productivity.

We find being out if a routine really triggers our anxiety and makes working productively very hard!!

We wanted to share with you the ways we have found that help us stay on track, and keep the anxiety and guilt at bay.

With every self employed boss-bitch, it can be hard to find a balance between work and play. It can also be tricky to be disciplined with yourself and make yourself accountable! Sound like you? We are here to help... so take a listen!
