Chances are you wouldn't not if you're a recovering or even a full blown people pleaser.

If you said yes then follow my three steps and learn what it takes to say no without guilt. Any questions you can contact me here: https://makemefearless.com/contact/

Whose responsibility is it for your happiness? What about if you're married and your partner is not keeping to their end of the bargain?

Marriage and relationships are never simple but when your happiness is on the line what are you prepared to do, or not do?

Have you ever heard of micro aggressions? Or passive aggressive behaviour? And have you ever experienced this first hand and you didn't know how to handle it? In today's episode I talk about my experience of this with a pharmacist assistant. Why I know it was not me it was her. why I couldn't get her 'attitude' out of my head and what finally busted it. And what attitude you need to have so it doesn't play around in your head for two weeks. I share some really good tips about what to do and what not to do and why in the end you can only win in one way.

If I asked you what drives your behaviour, would you say it's your noisy neighbours and they drive you to complain, or it's your boss, who drives you to moan, or it's a family member who drives you to feel irritated. Any answer other than your mindset would be the wrong answer. In this episode I share my personal experience of binge eating, and my lifelong quest to get it under control, and my breakthrough moment. There are two fundamental insights that I share in this episode, that have made a huge difference to me and hopefully for you too! Let me know what you think.

Who does your life belong to? I ask because if you're not living your best life or you're not as happy as you want to be, then that's because somewhere along the road, your life became more about other people. So in this podcast I show you how to align your life with what matters to you? This is so you understand what you need to do to be happier, more satisfied and even how to make the best decisions for you. Now living this way, an intentional life comes with a cost, but I make the case that it's worth it.

Where do you look if your life is not working well for you? You could look at what's going on around you, you could even look at the people you have in your life, none of these places would give you the right solution. In this episode I talk about how not taking responsibility for our 'stuff' can lead to denial, procrastination, justification and feeling powerless. Through a simple event that has been happening to me, I share how one question can release you from feeling like you're not in control to putting you back in the drivers seat of your life. And to get you on the same path as me, I'll give you that one powerful question that will set you free. Let me know how much it's helped you.

Self care- the buzz word of our time. We know we 'should' have a self care routine but we don't. or at best we do but we're inconsistent with it. So in today's episode I want to motivate you by revealing what your self care routine really says about you, and it's not all good. When we know we should look out for ourselves and we don't, why not? And what will it take to get us to do what's good for us. I talk about my own self care routine, ask myself some revealing questions and share with you what I really believe about myself, and I get you to follow along too.

In the end we either care enough about ourselves to do what's necessary, or we don't. So let me chiddy you along to set your intention so you get to experience what it's like to put you first for a change.
