The Cost of Distractions
Distractions cost you valuable time, energy, and focus—pulling you away from your goals. Whether it's social media, toxic relationships, or unnecessary habits, they scatter your attention and delay progress.

Clarify Your Vision
To overcome distractions, start with a clear vision. What are your top three goals for the next six months? Break them down into actionable steps and reflect on why they matter. A strong "why" makes it easier to stay focused.

Identify Your Distractions
Take an honest look at your day. What habits, people, or tech are pulling you off course? Awareness is the first step to change.

Remove Distractions
Set boundaries, control your environment, manage time effectively, and practice mindfulness. For example, limiting social media helped me reclaim hours for building my business.

Sustain Your Focus
Removing distractions is ongoing. Review goals regularly, celebrate wins, and aim for progress, not perfection.

This week, identify one distraction and take action to remove it. Share your progress with #ResilienceMovement. If this helped, share it with someone who could use a little focus in their life.

Creating a Vision for Your Future with Gratitude and Visualization

Segment 1: Understanding the Power of Mindset

Before we get into the "how," let’s talk about the "why." Life can throw challenges our way – setbacks, disappointments, and moments of doubt. It’s easy to fall into a negative mindset, focusing on what’s wrong or what’s missing in our lives. But here’s the truth: what you focus on expands. If you’re constantly thinking about the negative, you’re inadvertently inviting more of it into your life.

Segment 2: The Transformative Practice of Gratitude

Gratitude isn’t just about saying "thank you" – it’s about cultivating a deep appreciation for the present moment and the abundance already in your life. When you focus on what you have rather than what you lack, you create a mindset of sufficiency and abundance. Here’s how to start:

• Daily Gratitude Practice: Each morning or evening, write down three things you’re grateful for. They don’t have to be monumental – it could be as simple as the warmth of your coffee or the sound of birds outside.
• Feel It Fully: Don’t just list your gratitudes; take a moment to feel them. Close your eyes and immerse yourself in the joy or comfort they bring.

Segment 3: Creating a Vision with Visualization

Now that you’re building a foundation of gratitude, let’s talk about creating your future. Visualization is a tool that allows you to imagine your goals and dreams as if they’re already happening. Athletes, performers, and successful entrepreneurs use visualization to prime their minds for success. Here’s how you can start:

• Set Your Scene: 
• Imagine Your Ideal Future: 
• Anchor Your Emotions: 
• Repeat Daily: 

Segment 4: Combining Gratitude and Visualization

Here’s where the magic happens: combine gratitude and visualization into a single practice. Start by expressing gratitude for what you already have, then transition into visualizing the future you’re creating. 

Segment 5: Real-Life Examples

I share a couple of real stories

Segment 6: Taking Action

Gratitude and visualization are powerful tools, but they’re most effective when paired with action. Start taking small, intentional steps toward your vision.

As the year comes to a close, I wanted to leave you with a message of hope and renewal—because starting over is something we all face at some point in our lives. Whether it's a new chapter by choice or one thrust upon us, rebuilding your life is possible, one step at a time.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through 5 key steps to help you begin again with intention and self-compassion:

1. Start with Your Wellbeing

Before you can rebuild, you need to replenish. Taking care of your mental, emotional, and physical health is the foundation of starting over. Prioritize rest, nourishment, and small daily rituals to nurture yourself.

2. Set Small, Achievable Goals

Big dreams are built on small, consistent steps. Break your vision into manageable pieces, and celebrate every little victory along the way. Progress is progress, no matter how small.

3. Rebuild Your Support System

We’re not meant to do life alone. Surround yourself with people who uplift and encourage you. If your current circle isn’t enough, look for new communities that align with your values and goals.

4. Reflect and Redefine

Adversity gives us the chance to pause and reflect. What do you truly want moving forward? What matters most to you now? Use this time to redefine your path with clarity and intention.

5. Embrace Growth and Gratitude

Every challenge carries a lesson. Embrace the growth that comes with starting over, and find gratitude for the journey—no matter how difficult it may seem.

✨ Remember this: Rebuilding your life doesn’t happen overnight, and it doesn’t need to. Focus on filling your cup first, and let the rest follow naturally. One step, one day, one choice at a time—you’ve got this. 💖

Thank you for joining me this year. Let’s move into 2025 together with hope, resilience, and a commitment to creating lives we love.

💬 What does starting over mean to you? Let’s talk about it in the comments or share your thoughts with me.

Happy New Year, and here’s to a fresh start! 🌟

Hi, and welcome to today’s podcast! I’m so excited you’re here as we dive into a topic that so many of us can relate to: Building Personal and Professional Resilience in the Face of Burnout.

Burnout has become an all-too-common experience, especially in our fast-paced world where work pressures, financial stress, and blurred boundaries between personal and professional life leave us feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.

Let’s quickly look at six steps we will discuss in depth:

1. Awareness and Acknowledgment: Recognise the signs of burnout.
2. Set Clear Boundaries: Protect your energy and time.
3. Prioritize Self-Care: Build habits that restore your mental and physical health.
4. Build a Support System: Surround yourself with people who uplift and inspire you.
5. Focus on Purpose and Progress: Reconnect with your “why” and celebrate small wins.
6. Curate Your Environment: Create spaces—both physical and digital—that encourage growth.

Resilience is a journey, not a destination. Each choice you make to prioritize your well-being strengthens your ability to handle life’s challenges.

Thank you for spending this time with me today! Remember, burnout doesn’t have to define your story. You have the power to build resilience, one small step at a time.

If today’s episode resonated with you, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Share your biggest takeaway or an action step you’re committing to this week. You can connect with me on social media or via email—details are in the show notes.

And as we wrap up, I’ll leave you with this thought: "Resilience isn’t about avoiding life’s storms—it’s about learning to dance in the rain."

Until next time, take care of yourself, and remember, you’ve got this!

Personal development is all about investing in yourself so you can manage yourself effectively regardless of what life might bring your way. It’s a lifelong process that helps you assess your skills and qualities, consider your aims in life, and set goals in order to realize and maximize your potential.

Personal development includes activities that improve awareness and identity, develop talents and potential, build human capital and facilitate employability, enhance the quality of life, and contribute to the realization of dreams and aspirations.

We often think about physical exercise when it comes to building strength, but what about our mental and emotional strength? That’s where resilience comes in. It’s our ability to bounce back from setbacks, adapt well to change, and keep going in the face of adversity. And personal development plays a key role in building this resilience.

Continuous learning is a crucial component of personal development. It keeps our minds sharp, opens up new possibilities, and helps us adapt to new situations. Whether it’s formal education, learning new skills, or simply reading and exploring new ideas, the pursuit of knowledge enriches our lives and strengthens our resilience.

When we learn, we grow. We gain new perspectives, understand the world and ourselves better, and become more capable of handling life’s challenges. Think about the times you’ve learned something new – how did it make you feel? Empowered? Excited? Ready to take on new challenges?

Actionable Takeaways:

• 1. Set Goals: Identify what you want to achieve and create a plan to get there.
  2. Embrace Learning: Make a habit of learning something new every day. It could be reading, taking a course, or exploring new interests.
  3. Practice Self-Care: Take care of your physical, emotional, and mental health. Exercise, eat well, and make time for activities you enjoy.
  4. Build a Support Network: Surround yourself with supportive and positive people who can offer encouragement and advice.
  5. Stay Positive: Focus on the good things in your life and practice gratitude. Positivity can boost your resilience and overall well-being.
  6. Reflect: Regularly reflect on your experiences and what you’ve learned. This helps reinforce your growth and prepares you for future challenges.

It's that time of year, you know, that time where if you were fortunate to have a break then you at some point will be returning to work, your job, your business your passion hopefully.

If you are already back at work and hating it, this message is for you.

There are some really simple strategies to help you get ready to return to work or your business without feeling dread.

One of the ways is to be sure you have enough rest, and you can feel like you have recharged. I don’t know about you but I reached the end of the year exhausted, fatigued from stress and really need a break, in fact day one of my 2-week break, I got sick, so sick that I couldn’t do anything, this wasn’t a coincidence I can assure you, I probably knew unconsciously that I was going to crash and burn and if I didn’t I would have kept pushing through.

2023 was full of amazing opportunities, and great achievements for all and it was also one of the hardest years of my career that I had experienced in some time. You see I had a plan, it was a great plan that would change lives, not only my team's but our client's lives and ensure they can build a better future.  

By December I knew I needed a break so I could come back to work fresh and achieve all the plans we have made back in 2023 for 2024/2025.

Those of you that have a job and spend every day at work hating it, get a grip, or should I say a new job, you aren’t stuck so stop spending 40 hours a week doing something you hate. If that’s where you are going to stay, then start getting grateful for what you have and so on a daily basis.

I am grateful for my job as it …..fill in the blanks

Even if you think you hate your job there is always things to be grateful for.

Season #8, Episode #5

Ladies, It’s your future! 

Why is there an increase in homelessness for women over the age of 45? Maybe because we didn’t think divorce or separation was possible however, there is a considerable increase in women and children facing homelessness and poverty due to the family breakdown, or a death in the family. The reality is when I was raising children and looking after the home, I wasn’t thinking about my financial future or my career path, I was raising babies.

Between 2011-2021 there was an increase of 40% for women facing homelessness and poverty. No matter how young you are or even if you are in your 40’s start thinking about your financial future its never too late.
