You are a living magnet! We are all living magnets. We attract into our lives people, situations and experiences in harmony with our most dominant thoughts. The Law of Attraction is always in motion & we are always in a state of creation. So if you want to change your life you must first understand your role in the Law of Attraction. If you focus on the good & positive, you’ll automatically attract more good & positive experiences. If you focus on lack & negativity, you’ll attract more of this. The Universe will respond enthusiastically either way. In this episode I share my tips for utilising the law of attraction, for manifesting and harnessing the power of your thoughts and your focus to help you to you attract your greatest goals, dreams and desires into your life.

Personally, restrictive dieting caused me so much misery and resulted in years of binge eating followed by short bouts of severe restriction. At the beginning of 2018, I decided to take a new approach to nutrition and my mindset around food. I started to let go of dieting and the diet mindset. It’s challenging to let go of something that has been part of your life for so long. I know that many of you may want to start the process of changing your relationship with food and moving away from the diet mindset too, so hopefully this episode with Nutritional Therapist, Jen O Callaghan, will offer you some tips and advice for how to do just that. Jen & her husband Niall have a business called Everyday Nutrition, Fitness & Wellbeing & work to help others to improve their health in a holistic manner. If you’d like to contact Jen to find out more about her work and her packages, you can drop her an email: [email protected] or check out www.everydaynfw.com.

23 year old Mike Flynn, a personal trainer from Cork, has always been an anxious person. However, his life seemed to spiral out of control a little over two years ago when he developed a condition called Pure OCD which is marked by obsessive, unwanted thoughts that made him question himself constantly and ultimately led to him attempting to take his own life. Mike is now getting the help & support he needs & is sharing his story in an effort to create more awareness about the condition and to help others to realise that they are not alone in their struggles. If you are struggling with mental health issues please see your GP who can refer you onto the appropriate mental health services.

Picking up a copy of a book called “The Introvert Entrepreneur” by Beth Buelow while browsing the Business section in a book store triggered a chain of events for Aoife Lenox which ultimately led to her founding her business called Inside Strategies. Aoife began to understand that she could harness the power of her personality style as an introvert to succeed in the world of business rather than strive to be someone who she was not in order to be a success. Now she helps other introverts in business through training, coaching and consultancy. In this episode, Aoife shares some of the key learnings that she has discovered from years of research into introversion and offers tips for introverts who are trying to navigate their way in the world of business. Aoife mentions several books and authors during our conversation including the book “The Power of Quiet” by Susan Cain, “The Introverted Leader” by Jennifer Kahnweiler, “The Introvert Entrepeneur” by Beth Buelow, and “Sorry I’m Late, I Didn’t Want to Come” by Jess Pan.
