The Victoria Sardain Podcast

This week we’re discussing adapting our habits to the different seasons of our life. This is something many of us do naturally, however most of the time our habits shift based on solely one factor; our perceived amount of extra available time. 

What I’m suggesting in this episode, is instead to think about it intentionally from a stand-point of the goals that we have the emotions we would need to best handle this particular season. 

In this episode I give myself and my current season as an example as well as how to use these same principles in other situations.


>> Are you looking to move beyond the patterns currently holding you back, moving beyond emotions that are blocking you and create a new reality? A new reality that allows you to step into new levels of confidence, self-assurance, balance and ultimately allows you to be the kind of person that you know you can be? Are you ready to connect with the deep personal power that lies within you? I have a few spots left for 1:1 clients in March. Find out more here and reach out to chat!

This week we are doing our last personality trait deep dive as part of this mini series on the Big Five Personality Trait Model. This episode is all about the trait: Openness to Experience; the creativity dimension. 

In this episode I go deep into what this trait is, what it means to be high versus low in this personality trait, how to use this information to understand ourselves, understand others, improve our relationships, use our score to our advantage as well as how to extend this facet of our personality.

In this episode we're diving deep into personality trait conscientiousness. This is the personality trait related to responsibility, organisation and discipline. This personality trait is correlated with overall life success in all domains of life (including work, relationships and health) however as with all personality traits, in the extreme it can also hinder us rather than help us. 

In this episode I go through what it means and looks like to be highly conscientiousness, how to identify where we can find ourselves on a scale, the strengths and weaknesses of this trait and how we can implement change when it comes to this specific trait.

We are continuing our mini-series on The Big 5, this time investigating personality trait Neuroticism. 

Neuroticism is our tendency to feeling negative emotion and in this episode I share details of what both sides of the scale look and feel like, what we can do with this information and what we can do to create change.

In this episode we are going through one of the Big 5 Personality Traits: Extraversion. Many of us have already heard about this trait and have a good idea about what it means, but when it comes to the Big 5 Personality Trait Model, this trait extends beyond a social dimension. 

In this episode I explain what all the facets of the Extraversion scale look like and how we can utilise this information concretely in our lives.
