The Second Half

In this episode, Hazel and Jane update us on what they have been up to, including a phenomenal ‘be more buffalo’ running achievement for Jane and the impact of a recent coaching constellations course for Hazel and her work as a coach. This leads to a fascinating discussion around what it is to ‘belong’. 

Hazel shares some incredible insight into the psychology of belonging, for example why humans are driven to belong to groups and how we can sometimes lose ourselves in the drive to ‘fit in’. They go on to discuss what belonging means in their own lives and the different ways it shows up for them in their own behaviour. 

Hazel and Jane share their own experience of particular environments where they think more about how they are being perceived - including WhatsApp groups - and how this affects the choices they make. What insight will you take away about the groups you are a part of and whether you are truly being yourself within them?

What does it mean to be more buffalo?

In this episode Hazel and Jane offer a different perspective on the approach you can take when times are hard. They discuss how the buffalo approaches the challenge of a storm - and what we can learn from them when we face our own challenges.

Our hosts recap on their summer activities and how they are feeling about settling back into their routines and accept their new identities as hosts of their own podcast! This sparks a discussion about how easily we can speak critically of ourselves and how we can cultivate more self-compassion.

For those of us in high-demand problem-solving work roles, Hazel and Jane offer some insight into why self-compassion can be a challenge and crucially, some different routes into learning to speak to yourself with more kindness. They also share some examples of where self-compassion has helped them overcome challenges in their own lives and what we can all learn from embracing discomfort rather than avoiding it.

Hazel displays some of her coaching skills, giving Jane a mini session on the episode - with lots of interesting takeaways for the listeners too.
