The Mind School

This week on the podcast, Bre is chatting to Dr. Sheena Sikorski about perfectionism and social anxiety.

Dr. Sheena Sikorski is a psychologist and mindset mentor who specializes in working with women who are high-achieving perfectionists. She helps them let go of their outdated "not good enough" narrative and discover how to turn their perfectionism into their superpower. 

For years, Dr. Sheena struggled with perfectionism and social anxiety until she was able to completely transform her relationship with it by learning how to heal it at its root. 

She enthusiastically combines her personal experience and professional expertise to help other high-achieving perfectionists rediscover who they are underneath the mask for perfectionism.

Tune in to hear them chat about:

◾  Sheena’s experience with perfectionism and social anxiety

◾  The importance of language when discussing perfectionism and anxiety 

◾  How does perfectionism manifest itself in daily life?

◾  Is there a link between perfectionism and being a high achiever?

◾ Ways in which we can develop perfectionism in childhood

This is such an incredible episode and Sheena is so knowledgeable in this topic. If you’re someone who struggles with starting ‘the thing’ unless it’s perfect or if you find yourself focusing so heavily on the outcome instead of experiencing the journey to get there then this is going to be so helpful. We would love to hear your biggest take aways.

This week on the podcast we have LUL Alum Beth talking about her experience inside Level up and the incredible changes she has implemented in her live since finishing.

Beth is a Mum of 2 who owns and runs a digital marketing business with her husband, but she always knew she wanted more. Beth was a classic procrastinator and perfectionist with a head full of ideas but felt STUCK and didn’t know how to bring any of them to fruition. 

During LUL, Beth underwent a huge identity shift and since completing the course has started 2 businesses, one in photography (@missbethcan) and one in birth education and midwifery (@thebirthrebels).

Tune in to hear Bre and Beth chat about:

🌟 Where Beth was at before LUL

🌟 The realisations Beth came to in the first 2 weeks

🌟 Why recognizing and overcoming the ‘good girl’ complex felt scary at first

🌟 How the level up retreat and meeting likeminded women was a cherry on top of the whole experience

🌟 Her ‘why’ when deciding to study midwifery and start @thebirthrebels 

Beth is another example of the changes that can happen when you’re willing to see your blind spots, be open to being coached and put in the work to bring your dreams to life. 

If that sounds like something you can get on board with, make sure you’re on the waitlist! We launch THIS MONTH. Join HERE.

This week on the podcast Bre is chatting to LUL alum, Jacob Stella who completed the very first round of Level Up and let me tell you, his transformation is actually insane.

Jacob is a Professional Make Up Artist, Educator, Content Creator, and owner of Boca J Beauty (pronounced b’kay) in Melbourne (@bocajbeauty). Before he joined Level Up Jacob was living at home with his parents during peak COVID lock downs in Victoria basically questioning everything. He was halfway through a degree he was unsure about completing and was struggling with anxiety and self-doubt. He had a very clear vision of what he wanted out of life but didn’t know how to get there. CUE LEVEL UP! 

Tune in to hear Jacob and Bre take a lil’ stroll down memory lane and chat about things like:

💅🏼 Jacob’s life before Level up
💅🏼 How developing an understanding about the subconscious mind changed everything
💅🏼 The success Jacob has had since completing LUL – especially in the last 6 months
💅🏼 How angel numbers played a huge role in Jacob planning his way forward
💅🏼 Why having non negotiables outside of biz help keep things on track IN biz
 
This chat has it all. Highs, lows, inspiration and so many lol’s! Jacob is someone who has come out the other side of Level up with so much clarity as well as the confidence to implement a plan and smash his goals.
