Ep 041: Playing Small for Others?

Are you playing small to keep others big? Do you feel that you're not allowed to shine too bright in case it affects others? This can be so crippling as it means that we don't step into who we truly are and can mean that we never reach the success that we want. So in today's show, I'm breaking this down, explaining where it may have come from and talking about how you hold the power to change it all! Highlights: {1:14} - Why it's all really an illusion {4:43} - What's making you turn down your b...

Ep 040: Suffering from Social Media Anxiety?

Let's be honest...does social media make you anxious? Maybe it's the feeling that you have to post every day or the algorithm police will be after you. Or is it that you post and all you hear is crickets rather than the bing of another heart-shaped acknowledgment of acceptance. There are so many things about social media that can make us anxious and in today's episode, I'm going to be breaking them down and giving you tips on how to deal with them. Because let's face it. Social media is meant to...

Ep 039: Why you don't need another course

We're all guilty of it, right? We just need one more course. Just one more...even if we have 5 that we still haven't started! Course hoarding is a real thing, people! But so is course fatigue! So in today's episode, I'm doing something that's bad for business (well, I do sell courses after all!) 😳 I'm talking about why you might not need another course right now and what you could do instead. Because although it's not the best thing for business, it is an important point! Highlights: {1:48} You...

Ep 038: A Business Spring Clean

It's finally here!!! Spring has arrived and I have to admit that I'm doing laps of the garden. I love spring so much. I love the buds starting to open. The birds rushing around outside my office getting their nests ready. And I love the promise of the warm summer nights to come. It's a great time to have a spring clean (thus the name!) and not just at home but also in your business. Pruning your business and clearing out what you no longer need gives space for stronger shoots to grow. So have a ...

Ep 036: How to Tell Others What You Do

Imagine you're at a party (do you remember what they used to be like???) and somebody asks you the dreaded question... "So, what do you do then?" Are you ready to give them your perfected elevator pitch or do you choke on your martini and find the quickest way to exit? Getting confident at telling others about your business is a skill in itself! And given our limited interaction with the outside world at the moment, you might be wondering how on earth you'll get the practice in. So listen in to ...

Ep 035: Magnetising Money

Money, money, money. How's your relationship with the stuff? Good, bad, ambivalent? We all carry stories about money and what it means to have it, want it, not have it, what rich people are like, poor people, if you get more what it will mean for you, what if you lose it? The list goes on. Understanding and clearing these stories is what will help to increase your bank balance more than any strategy I can share with you. Because you can have the best strategies in the world but if you show up in...

Ep 032: The Benefit of Staying Stuck

Yes, you read that right. No, I've not gone mad. Hear me out. If we know that we are always trying to keep ourselves safe because, well that's how humans have made it this far, it makes sense that staying stuck when we know we want something is more to do with trying to keep ourselves safe than being lazy or "not good enough". So if you've ever wondered "Why can't I just do the goddamn thing?!?!?", then come and have a listen to this episode! Highlights: {1:12} Why is it so hard to do the things...

Ep 031: Client Attraction

Where have they all gone? Seriously, when you started your business you were sure there'd be people lining up to purchase your offer. But your offer's live and all you hear is the noise of... well, crickets. It's time for a rethink. So in today's episode, I'm talking about how to attract clients to you without needing to beg or hold onto their ankles until they hand over their credit card!

So what's stopping you from going after your dream? Time, money, ideas? I bet underneath that there are a few fears lurking too, right? In today's episode I'm going to be talking to you about how to identify what our true fears are that keep us stuck and how to keep our bodies and minds in the best state to be able to keep on top of our fears and go after our dreams with a wild abandonment.

In this episode I had the honour of interviewing Beaudy and getting to hear here incredible journey to success. We laughed, we cried...it was emotional.

In this episode I'm sharing with you just one of my many crazy-can't-explain-scientifically manifestations which I've encountered in my life. Seriously, I've seen it happen way too many times to have to believe in it even though the scientist in me is still looking for formulas to back it up! I also share my top 7 tips to manifesting anything you want (including busting the biggest myth when it comes to manifesting!)

Ep 027: Where's your Upper Limit?

In today's episode I'm talking all about your upper limit and what that actually is. This is what Gay Hendricks talks about in his amazing book The Big Leap, which I can highly recommend and in it he explains that we all have a level that we are comfortable to and then when we exceed that limit, we start to self sabotage until we're back in our comfort zone. Just genius! So if you find yourself getting so far along with your goals and then suddenly finding yourself back at square one, this one i...

Ep 026: Taking Control of Your Life

Realising that you are fully in control of your life and your future can be both hard to swallow and incredibly empowering. If our reality doesn't look like we want it to, it can be very hard to acknowledge that we are where we are due to all the decisions we have made in our lives. And I'm not saying this to be unkind. I'm saying it because when we truly believe this and own this belief, we take back control of our lives. Of course horrible things happen. Terrible things happen each and every d...

Ep 025: Drop the BS

It's great to have big goals and dreams and really want to go after the life and business you desire. But if deep down you don't truly believe you that you can achieve it, then you have no chance of actually reaching your full potential. Building your Belief muscle and cutting out all the BS that keeps you stuck is the key to making sure that you are in alignment and that's when the good stuff happens.

This week is all about setting your intentions for 2021. These are not New Years Resolutions which are done once and forgotten about for the next 365 days. But genuinely deciding on what you want 2021 to be about and how you're going to start putting a plan in place to achieve that goal. As Jim Rohn said: 'You will either pay the price of discipline, or you will pay the price of regret' So decide now, are you really willing to take action this year to reach your goals? If so, come and listen to ...

Ep 022: Not a Year in Review

So, I think we can all agree that this has been a year like no other. If you'd tried to explain what's happened this year to somebody this time last year, they would have thought you were crazy! But we find ourselves in this situation and to be fair, there is little we can do about the external factors. So join me in an unreview of the year and let's see what we can learn from the last 366 days! Highlights: {1.36} The meaning (and cure) for dis-ease in your life {2:34} What 2020 has taught us {4...

Your environment impacts you. Your internal chatter impacts you. Your emotions definitely impact you! All of this is going on around us subconsciously and then we wonder why we don't feel successful. We don't feel the success that other people seem to view our lives as. There is a way to set yourself up for success and a way to set yourself up for failure so let's make sure you are creating the right internal and external environment for you to flourish.

Ep 017: Purpose or Profit?

If you worry you can't go after your purpose AND make money, then this one's for you. Without giving away the punchline, you don't have to choose. It is possible to do the thing that you know you were put on this planet and make money. It's not an either or. And you 100% are allowed to want money. Money does not make you a bad person. Being a bad person makes you a bad person. Having money just makes you a rich bad person :) So in todays show I'm sharing with you how to find the thing that light...

Ep 013: How to create more Flow

The culture that in order to be successful you have to force your way to the top, crush your competitors and give yourself a nervous breakdown on the way is not a healthy or necessary one and this in itself comes from a place of fear. Fear that you don't really deserve the success if you've not half killed yourself trying to achieve it. And I don't mean that you don't have to work to be successful. Not at all. But I do mean that there's a difference between working in your zone of genius and thr...
