I’ll record part 2 AFTER the event). What I want you to be getting from part 1 is:

* Normalising that self doubt WILL come up. It doesn’t always necessarily mean you’re doing anything wrong, and it certainly doesn’t mean you can’t or shouldn’t keep taking steps forward.

* The negative implications of avoiding the actions & activities in business that cause self doubt to roar …but will also bring business success (and your GROWTH!)

* The tools I’m using on mySELF (that I also guide my clients through) to navigate the next few days

Above all - I hope you feel the solidarity of what I’m bringing today.

I recorded this off the cuff, so expect some tangents, some rambles and some raw & real-in-the-moment shared experiences.

See you in part 2 - wish me luck!

When you look around YOUR life - you’ll see lessons that relate to business EVERYWHERE if you look properly.

For me, playing chess has taught me SO much about business… and about mySELF as a business owner.

And before you even say it: chess IS COOL. Send all and any opposing opinions to the contrary to [email protected] (they’ll be deleted straight away).

Enjoy this episode - and the little snippet at the end that I lifted from a live session in the Inner Work Club (loved it?… consider joining! www.tlb.org.uk )

I’m sharing four lessons from 2023 that have NOT been easy to learn (or share) but I hope in sharing, you gain some perspective shifts & feel encouraged to reflect on your own lessons from 2023.

I strongly believe that reflecting enables and empowers you. From reflection you get the gifts of insight and the ability to let go of what no longer serves you.

I also (personally) find it to be SUCH a humbling experience.

Because really - we are always TRYING to do the right thing, and the ironic thing is when we look backwards, we can ALWAYS see a better way …Sort of takes the pressure off really doesn’t it? Lovely, that.

Sharing a personal one today:

My husband asked me a few weeks ago:

“What’s stopping you from growing the Inner Work Club to be something bigger?”

In the moment I dismissed it.

And I dismissed him.

I’m really good at evasion - I’m good at tricking myself and others into a valid reason for evading a conversation that I want to avoid.

In this instance it sounded a bit like:

“It’s complicated - you wouldn’t understand” (Arse-holey, I know. I’m not proud).

But I wrote the question on my brain dump list to hold myself accountable to actually answering it.

And I want to share with you what happened when I set dedicated time aside to answer it.

In this episode I’m talking about:

* How we sneakily avoid the questions that cause us discomfort (due to limited thinking, uncertainty or avoiding things we are afraid of)

* What we can do that is MORE helpful than trying to dive STRAIGHT into problem solving

* How we can move from hopeLESS to hopeFUL when we hold ourselves (loginvly, but firmly) accountable to sit with the things that we dismissed and/or refused to spend time with or look at

I hope it serves you for me to bring my personal shares to this podcast.

I (like you) am a human navigating their own way through business, doing their best.

Have you ever found yourself saying “I’ll do that when…”

or

“I can’t do X because they’ll say Y”?

The thing with freedom is - we typically like the sound of it, but often we don’t like what we need to do (or stop doing) to actually create it.

So we blame the things OUTSIDE of ourselves.

We try to ‘fix’ the things OUTSIDE of ourselves.

But true freedom is created by the way you respond to your current situation.

This episode might be a challenging listen. Fear not though - at the end I give you a REALLY simple tool to help you OWN your freedom.
