Woman In Progress

Wondering why sometimes you get the results you were hoping for and other times you end up disappointed? In the final part of my mini-series, I’m sharing with you how and why your results are always driven by your actions, and how your actions are influenced by your thoughts and feelings.

You are the reason for the results you’re creating, which is the best news because you only need to work on YOU to get a different result. Take a listen to today’s episode to hear more about this life-changing self coaching model and learn why you are in the driver’s seat to be able to create the life you want to live.

As Human Beings we are driven by our feelings. We are emotional creatures, and we like to make choices in the short term that’ll make us feel good, yet in the long term we end up feeling stressed, upset and even disappointed. But once we recognise that all of our feelings are caused by what we are thinking, the world opens up for us.

Using the power of being able to feel what you want, when you want, in a reaction to your thoughts, you’ll be able to make the decision if you want to feel this way or if not, be able to change it with intention.

I know you might be curious about how you can control the way you feel, and that’s why in this episode I share with you:

• How are thoughts impact the way we feel
• Why are actions are a result of our feelings
• How to identify the feeling you’re experiencing in the moment
• The difference between your thoughts and feelings
• Why we sometimes lack intention with our actions

Do you ever wonder how it’s possible people are able to genuinely think and feel differently about the same scenario? Some people create an opinion on their work load, the amount of people in the gym, and even the weather - yet the the circumstance itself is just a fact, not right or wrong - it just is.

However we as humans then apply our own opinions, judgments and experiences onto these circumstances which cause us to feel a certain way which then eventually leads to our actions. All as a result of how we interpret a scenario. Today I’m sharing the first two part of the model I use with all of my clients and is fundamental in the work I do.

So, if you find yourself struggling with lots of negative emotions, notice you have a lot of repetitive thoughts that don’t serve you and are struggling to create the results in your life you want most, then you’ll want to listen to todays episode!

In today’s episode I break down:

• A key tool I use when coaching all my clients
• The difference between a circumstance and a thought
• Why ALL circumstances are neutral
• The importance of becoming aware of what you are thinking

It’s my 1 year work anniversary since I made a huge career change and became a people manager - how this time has flown by! I’m dedicating today’s episode to sharing 6 lessons from this past year, the experiences I’ve had and how I’m adapting myself to grow and improve.

This year has certainly not been easy, I’ve made countless mistakes, have prioritized incorrectly, and hurt people accidentally. But this isn’t meant to be easy, so here’s to another year of learning, failing, growing and evolving as a #WomanInProgress.

Here’s a sneak peak at some of the lessons I’ve made this year:

• How I’m adapting to managing my new team
• Being okay with people not accepting your style of leadership
• Learning how to prioritize self care even when you love your job
• Opening up to having support and someone calling you out

Struggling to stick to a new habit? Unsure why some habits are easy to incorporate while others are much more challenging? Are you wishing you could finally just do the damn thing? Don’t worry - you’re in the right place! Today I’m sharing why it’s normal to find it hard to create habits, how to reframe your thoughts on habits, and most importantly a new system I’ve come across for how to incorporate new habits and behaviours that stick.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• The difference between goal-based habits and identity based habits
• The concept of “limbic friction” and the biggest reason why it’s challenging to incorporate new habits at first
• The 42 day experiment I’m trying next month to creating lasting habits (and why you should join me!)

I love thinking about life as being both brutal and beautiful. “Brutifiul” as Glennon Doyle calls it. The truth of our human experience is that it’s a 50/50 balance of peace and struggle, comfort and discomfort. There is no magical destination we arrive at where we are happy 100% of the time, so let this be a gentle reminder that if you feel negative emotions sometimes that you’re exactly where you need to be!

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• Why the human experience is a 50/50 balance of positive and negative emotions
• How to stop ‘should-ing’ all over yourself
• What’s going on in my inner world right now
• How to know if you’re practicing the ‘dark side’ of gratitude and why it doesn’t serve you

Have you ever labelled someone as “toxic”? Well today I want to show you that thinking about them in this way is not useful, and not only that, but how it disempowers you. I share some real talk about my experience with a difficult person as well as a strategy I use to help me reframe how I approach and engage with people I find more challenging.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why you may want to reframe how you think of “toxic people”
• What causes you to get triggered by other people
• What to do when you can’t cut ‘toxic’ people out of your life
