“I have to decide what I want to do” When we think we have to do something we feel pressure. Having to do something always brings out the rebellious part of our brains that says ‘yeah but I don’t want to! I don’t feel like it’ The reality is we don’t HAVE to do anything. Fear of making the wring decision often keeps us stuck so let's dive in and shed light on a few really important things!

What are you most afraid of doing right now? Think of something as it relates to the life you want to be living… Why DO you want to do it? How can you sell yourself on the benefits of doing. Make peace with the worst case scenario. Evaluate - learn from yourself all the way along. Have your own back & believe so deeply in yourself. Believe BEFORE you see it... This is what we cover in todays episode!

The relationship we have with ourselves determines everything. How we feel about ourselves, how we live our lives, what we do or don’t do, our level of confidence, how happy we are... Everything! So in this episode we are diving deep into the 3 steps it takes to create a better relationship with ourselves. A relationship that creates a deep understanding and awareness of who we are, coming from a place of love and having our own backs no matter what.

Society implies that we ‘should’ go to college, get a degree, get a good job, settle down, buy a house, get married and have 2.5 kids. We may not agree with it BUT we can’t argue that it isn’t implied throughout life. So when a friend announces she’s getting married or she’s expecting a baby or they have just found their forever home… We can’t help but feel that pull of ‘should I be doing that too?!”

Courage is required to get outside our comfort zone, to do things we haven’t done before... And courage doesn’t feel good. It is brave but it doesn’t feel positive when we are in the thick of it and that’s ok, it doesn’t mean anything has gone wrong. -Courage is more rewarding than comfort AND it is the foundation from which our self-confidence grows.

If you had told me a year ago that I would have CHOSEN to go to a networking event, a room full of women where I don’t know anyone and NOT drink alcohol (my social lubricant) … I’d have laughed at you! “Yeah right!” Why would I want to do something like that? Something so far outside of my comfort zone… In today’s episode we are exploring why getting outside of our comfort zone is where the magic happens. It’s where our confidence grows & empowerment is found. Plus I have a tonne of ideas for you to give this ago & a 5 day challenge to get you started.

Advice is something we look for when we want clarity, certainty and confidence and in todays episode I am sharing with you how to receive the best advice you will ever get. HINT: It involves your future self and the person who has already achieved everything you want. There are 3 versions of us all: our past self, our current self & our future self. How much time do you spend thinking about your future self...?

Believing I was working on myself kept me single for over 10 years. Shifting my belief to 'it would be nice to share life with someone' opened up a whole new world of possibilities... In this episode we are talking about beliefs, those that serve us and those that don't. I am offering you some questions to take a look at to explore the beliefs you have and wether they set you up for success or hold you back.

I was an over-thinker for as long as I can remember. I would analyse all of my conversations and interactions and create elaborate (usually negative) stories in my head. I would worry about what others were thinking about me or saying about me behind my back... And in todays episode we are diving deep into why we do this and how to knock it on the head.

Lately I have seen and heard plenty of self-judgement both from myself and from my clients. So in todays episode we are identifying what that judgement looks like and to turn it around. Often we feel like we are just conveying the news, relaying the facts to to ourselves. But the fact is we are judging ourselves and it’s adding an extra layer of hurt. So let's get to the solution and how to move through our experiences and away from the added layer of self-judgement

Confidence is a feeling and it comes from what we think about ourselves and our abilities. Learning to feel more confident is a skill that everyone (including YOU) can learn!
