In this episode (originally recorded LIVE on IG) , I covered: are you a more passive-aggressive communicator than you think?, why ASSERTIVE COMMUNICATORS are needed now more than ever, why communication is a missing piece in the cancel culture conversation, why labelling everything as self-censorship isn’t helpful, how to know when you’re self-censoring vs using your social filter (good thing)… …why risking peoples perception of you has to become non-negotiable, what happens when people start to...

(Previously titled: How to exist in a complex world with a binary brain ). Black and white (either or) thinking is great if you need to cross the road or if you’re foraging and need to know whether a mushroom you're about to pick is poisonous or not...but when thinking in extremes (with us or against us, right or left, pro or anti, woke vs anti-woke, right or wrong) becomes the default in every situation - it can become cause for concern. This episode is already a TOP 3 of mine and I know it's o...

An audience member reminded me of this fantastic LIVE I did nearly two years ago. It was relevant then, but it feels even more relevant now - for reasons you'll discover as you listen. Be it a romantic breakup, friendship breakup, job transition, career change, displacement, moving home, letting go of an old identity, entering a new relationship, discomfort caused by experiencing success, a shift in your health, or if you're feeling as though change is coming- but you can't quite put your finger...

" Those who have accepted self-censorship as a part of themselves tend to work overtime to justify the punishment of those who choose to express themselves openly, and without fear. Often their outrage and calls for punishment won’t be based on the contents of what that person is saying, but the fury will be because that person is even DARING to say anything at all." - Africa Brooke I appreciate your time and attention.

'Fake it till you make it' has to be one of the worst widely accepted mantras I've heard in my adult life. This approach to life messes with our sense of self (identity) more than we might realise. It even perpetuates things like imposter syndrome. Perhaps you think it's just semantics, but I believe there's more to it...lets find out!

Who am I? What do I believe in? What do I want to do? Do I even agree with this anymore? Those are just a few of the common questions that pull at us when we're questioning our identity and the roles we play in the world. In this gem-filled episode we'll be exploring what identity is, what an identity CRISIS is, how it presents itself in your life, why I believe we're ALL experiencing it as a collective, how you can identify whether this is something you're actually going through- and what you c...

Self-sabotage is a F**KER!!!!! This we know...but we don't always do it because we hate ourselves. It's usually out of self-preservation...self-protection...

Perfectionism is something a lot of us experience. It's something many of us OVER-IDENTIFY with. It's something we sometimes see as a 'positive' thing despite it causing a lot of stress, procrastination, unfinished projects, self-criticism, over-analysing, personal/professional dissatisfaction. In this episode I break down what perfectionism is, where it stems from, how to move away from it, what you can start to cultivate instead - and I also give you some practical steps you can start to in...

I must stress that finding out you have ‘toxic’ tendencies that are affecting you and those around you doesn’t mean you’re damaged or lesser, it just means there’s some SERIOUS inner work to do on your part... Have you ever had to accept that you were the toxic potato at any point in life? Or is that where you...

WHEW! That's best way to describe Episode 3 of the podcast. I explored why 'choosing ourselves' doesn't always feel great and addressed how this happens. When it comes to asserting and exercising our boundaries, owning our worth, liberating ourselves openly - it can feel very unsafe. But why is this, and what can we do about it? This episode explores of all that and more. Thank you so much for listening, if you found this valuable - be sure to leave a review on Apple Podcasts, and share it with ...
