159 - 7 lessons from creating a podcast (aka sticking with something!)17 Apr 202300:31:08

Sticking with something that requires courage, discipline and dedication can be T-R-I-C-K-Y. ESPECIALLY when that same thing involves you EVOLVING in public, learning as you go and presenting your authenticity to the world in the face of being judged, criticised or "failing".


I recorded today's episode live to celebrate the Inner Work Conversation reaching 25,000 downloads and although this episode contains the 7 things I've learnt from podcasting ...rest assured these same 7 lessons can be applied to ANYthing you are pursuing in life personally or in business professionally, they are:



  1. Lower the stakes

  2. Figure it out as you go

  3. Exposure therapy is a good approach

  4. Evolving might be as cringey as your facebook timehop

  5. Create from a place that feels good (not from the "shoulds")

  6. Don't let your insecurities fill the void

  7. Celebrate your wins


I hope you enjoy this and I really look forward to hearing which of the points resonated the most with YOU. Here are the links you might want...

157 - The false benefits of holding yourself back10 Apr 202300:33:16

155 - Are you "protecting" yourself to keep yourself "safe"? It's time to EVOLVE.03 Apr 202300:43:26

Because is it REALLY protection anyway? Are you REALLY keeping yourself safe? This episode pulls all of that into question and shines a light on what COULD be going on instead. Some questions for you to consider:



  • How do I avoid failure or judgement from others by keeping myself small?

  • Where in life and business am I treading on egg shells in order to avoid judgement or criticism?

  • What does the truest part of me really want? And how can I honour that in a way that feels safe?

152 - When results aren't happening (quickly enough)26 Mar 202300:41:27

151 - You're not normal, and that's PERFECT. Stop making yourself wrong for the way you are!23 Mar 202300:35:08

"Normal" is a myth. You are how you are FOR A REASON. You like to do things the way you do because it's NATURAL to you. In this episode I'm diving into:



  • How we make ourselves 'wrong' or 'weird' for not being "normal" (SPOILER - there is no such thing)

  • The (really f*cking bad) negative implications in business of not owning our natural ways of being

  • Tips on how to start owning YOUR normal


I hope it helps, and if it resonates - consider it as an invitation into my work. LINKS:

150 - Hear me work (replay of a LIVE session)20 Mar 202300:24:43

I know how it can feel when you're making investments into your own personal development. I know the questions that come up:



  • Will it be worth it?

  • Will I be able to get a return on my own investment?

  • Is this even the right person to help facilitate my development?


...so, since my coaching programme EVOLVE is right round the corner (doors close 17th April '23) I thought it might be handy to HEAR me in action. This snippet is from The Thrive First Method and I hope you both get a lot from it AND it helps you to make a decision about working together, if that's where you're at.

149 - The truth about being needy & demanding19 Mar 202300:45:02

Developing a relationship with yourself where you make it safe for you to want what you want, need what you need takes UNlearning. In this episode I'm going into:


Why do we struggle to express our needs? 


What does that look like?


What are the impacts?


How can we start to own and express our needs?

148 - Having your sh*t together in business when life is hard15 Mar 202300:26:54

147 - Want to thrive? Focus on the simple things...14 Mar 202300:29:54

Today's IG live / episode came from Meg Hewitt tagging me with a reminder of her episode (96 - linked HERE) where we talked all about thriving in life and in business.  Because in truth...


...it's not always easy. 


Never mind the ongoing to-do list and mounds of obligations ... you've then got every influencer under the sun promoting the 'right way' to thrive and in truth - only YOU know what thriving looks and fees like to you.  In life AND in business.  So give this a watch / listen and start carving out your own 'simple things' to thrive.

145 - Who is on your (inner) team?09 Mar 202300:25:00

It's easy to follow the sh*tty thoughts down the garden path and into the woods (ask me how I know).  But in THIS episode I'm asking you to consult your team.  The team that have got your back, that have got your best interests at heart - them.  


This episode is here to help you BUILD that team.

144 - Stop seeking permission! It's ok to be ok (you read that right)06 Mar 202300:15:00
When we are conditioned to always look OUTSIDE of ourselves for the answers, for confidence in ourselves, for the permission to 'GO'...it can be unnerving to  UNlearn this and start trusting yourSELF.  Giving yourSELF permission, validation, ok-ness.  It's OK to be OK. It's ok to source your OKness from within.  
...And that's exactly what this episode is about.

142 - What if it took less time, but more...27 Feb 202300:24:23

Look, my BS radar is finely tuned.  As is my support function.  So I KNOW when you say "I WOULD do that, but I just need more time..THEN I'll do it" that actually you probably DON'T need more time, but you probably DO need: 



  1. More inner support

  2. More focus

  3. More celebration & self acknowledgement 


In this episode, I'm sharing HOW.

This episode is for you if you...



  • Find yourself struggling and wondering why it's so hard for you 

  • Find yourself overcomplicating & overcompensating

  • Avoid things like price increases or upholding your boundaries 

  • Sometimes wrestle with comparison 


Quotes:


"Don't diminish or overlook your natural talents & gifts just because they come easy to you - just because it comes easy to YOU doesn't make it less valuable for THEM ...OWN what you bring to the table"


"If you're someone who's been raised with the belief that work must be hard to be valuable, then don't be surprised if you overlook or diminish how much value you add simply by contributing what comes naturally, effortlessly and joyfully to you."


"There is usually a correlation between how willing you are to do the busy work and to what level of high regard you hold yourself - notice that s**t."


"When you don't value what comes easy to you, don't be surprised if you feel the need to prove your worth through doing more, being more or gaining more qualifications"

“You aren’t a procrastinator, you procrastinate - big difference”


“Usually procrastination isn’t about avoiding DOING something, but more often it’s about avoiding FEELING something.”


“When you start to identify as a procrastinator as though it’s part of your identity, that’s when you start to give your power away as though you no longer have any control.”


“Normally when you’re avoiding doing something, you’re getting to avoid the hypothetical fear that might follow on from you doing the thing.  And there is where the work lies.”


“What if we CHANGED our relationship with procrastination, so instead of seeing it as a negative thing - we actually saw it as a signal (a little bit like your smoke alarm will signal when there’s a fire) and investigate what type of support that signal might be telling us we NEED”


“When you go to do something that requires courage, don’t be surprised if suddenly the washing needs folding, or an E-Mail needs urgently responding to, or you need a snack.  Treat this as a sign that you need more support from yourself to do the thing.”


“I think it’s powerful to recognise that doing something ‘boring’ can feel energetically just as draining as doing something that requires courage, and we would support ourselves much more by recognising that”

139 - Are you f*cking yourself over when going after what you want?16 Feb 202300:32:52

When you’re going after goals that are meaningful - thing you want to be do or have, you’re likely going to bump up against challenges & adversity.


Let’s talk about how that applies to your inner work.


In this episode I’m sharing the three most common ways I see my own clients f*cking themselves during the journey towards goals that are meaningful to them.



  1. 8:30 not acknowledging your disempowering limiting beliefs

  2. 15:30 Not being aware of the way you’re spending your time & acknowledging your current set of life circumstances

  3. 21:10 Not developing a tolerance for uncertainty & complexity


Quotes:


“When you don’t acknowledge your underlying disempowering beliefs and try to pretend they don’t exist, best believe they’ll reveal themselves through your behaviour - particularly in the things you avoid”


“You have to acknowledge your reality.  Really look your current truth in the eyes - acknowledging the way your life is now, your obligations, responsibilities …all of it - and THEN set goals from that place.  Otherwise you’re just setting yourself up to fail”


“When you develop your tolerance for uncertainty, it enables you to let go of control.  Not because you are less ambitious or have less desire for things to work out - but because you have MORE SELF TRUST to navigate your way towards your goals THROUGH uncertainty”

138 - How NOT to approach the inner work13 Feb 202300:35:46

Do you find yourself getting stuck in wondering WHY you procrastinate? Getting stuck in figuring out WHY you can't just stop people pleasing? Or why you can't just DO the thing? Then this episode is for you.  


Today I'm talking about when the inner work becomes a vice for us to avoid the actual things that a) will require our courage and b) will actually be the things that help us to REALLY grow & evolve. 


"When you pray ...move your feet" ;-)

121 - Procrastinating? OWN IT…here’s how…16 Dec 202200:16:09

I had the idea from this episode on the way back from the gym, in my scruffs and after a cracking voice note conversation with a 1:1 client.  So I hope it serves you too.  I'm covering the 4 tips for if you're stuck in procrastination ... I trust that you'll take what you need & leave the rest.   I'm also hearing you guys loud and clear on the requests for more video content - so today please ignore the scruffs ...I'm not going to get 'all dolled up' for video as I fear the idea will lose it's energy and that's more important to me than looking 'camera ready'.
