Hello lovely ones,

 

In this episode I invite you to listen to me prepare for an interview I did at Stylist Live about 5 Tips To Avoid burnout. To prepare for speaking gigs I download my thoughts into a voice note and then listen back to it, this helps me work out my key points. When I listened to the voice note I thought this would make a great podcast... so here we are!

 

I talk about:

• When I realised I was burnt-out
• Why work-life balance is misleading
• How we can get promotions and pay rises without making ourselves ill
• Boundaries
• Working in a high stress environment

And more!

 

Please note this is a voice note I recorded for myself so there is background noise and its literally me speaking my thoughts.

 

Also I mentioned my 2025 planning event, you can secure your space here: https://livethreesixty.thrivecart.com/dream-big-plan-smart/

Hello and welcome to another episode of The Liberated Woman podcast.

 

Before we get into it I cordially invite you to join me in laying the foundation for a 2025 that feels GOOD at my "Dream Big, Plan Smart: Ultimate 2025 planning workshop on 28th December 2024. Details here, be quick for the mega earlybird! Click here [LINK]

 

Today I'm exploring a topic that shows up for so many women, especially high-achieving, ambitious women who feel the pull toward growth and transformation. Today, I am exploring the deep roots of perfectionism, what drives it, why it’s so persistent, and how it affects us not only mentally but also physically and emotionally.

 

Perfectionism is a theme that I encounter constantly in my work, whether it’s within my membership community, my group coaching programmes, or my 1-2-1 client sessions. For many of us, the need to get things ‘just right’ can be a significant block, preventing us from reaching our true potential. Perfectionism holds us back, not just in the pursuit of our goals but in our ability to live authentically and experience real freedom.

 

In this episode, we’ll look at perfectionism not as a simple personality trait but as a coping mechanism, something deeply embedded in our psychology, our somatic experience, and even our neurobiology. I’ll share insights from my background in social work, my training in somatic coaching, and my passion for Polyvagal Theory to help illuminate the patterns behind perfectionism. We’ll also consider how societal conditioning, systemic pressures, and our own survival instincts make us feel that if we’re not perfect, we’re not enough.

 

As an intersectional feminist and advocate for women’s empowerment, I’m passionate about helping us break free from these patterns and reclaim our power.

 

Key discussion points:

 

What perfectionism really is:

Perfectionism is often viewed as a personality trait, but it goes much deeper. At its core, it’s a coping mechanism that protects us from feeling vulnerable or judged. It can even become a state of survival, where the nervous system adapts to high alert as a new “normal.” As I discuss, this survival mode can morph into a permanent state, affecting how we experience the world and navigate challenges.

 

The neurobiology and somatic impact of perfectionism:

Using insights from Polyvagal Theory, I explain how our nervous system influences our thoughts, emotions, and actions. Chronic perfectionism often means we are stuck in a cycle of fight, flight, or freeze, which can drain our energy and lead to exhaustion. When we’re in this state, our brains interpret even minor mistakes as threats to our safety, making the pursuit of “perfect” feel essential for survival. I discuss research showing how chronic anxiety impacts the body, keeping us in a hyper-alert state and creating symptoms that go far beyond mental strain.

 

Perfectionism, shame, and self-compassion:

Drawing on the work of Dr. Kristin Neff, we explore the connection between perfectionism and shame. Perfectionism often traps us in a cycle of feeling ‘not enough,’ where every mistake seems like a declaration of failure or inadequacy. Dr. Neff’s research on self-compassion offers an alternative to this harmful cycle, helping us see our worth beyond our achievements and freeing us from the armour of perfectionism.

 

Perfectionism as an ‘addiction’ to control:

Drawing from the work of Dr. Gabor Maté, I examine how perfectionism can resemble an addiction. It serves as a way to soothe stress and discomfort, but in reality, it keeps us stuck in a state of control that is ultimately limiting. Society teaches us to avoid discomfort and to ‘think positive,’ which can prevent us from developing the resilience to manage difficult emotions. As Dr. Maté explains, addiction is often a response to suffering, and perfectionism can function in much the same way.

 

Client Story:

I share the journey of a client who came to me wanting to expand her business but felt paralysed by perfectionism. In our work together, she realised that perfection was an illusion and began to embrace a more authentic, bold version of herself. She went from “Sandy at the start of Grease” to her true “Rizzo” self, taking meaningful action, embracing her strengths and imperfections, and experiencing significant growth in her business and personal life.

 

I’m challenging you to look beyond the surface and understand perfectionism at a deeper level, to see it not as ‘just the way I am’ but as something we can understand, unlearn, and replace with patterns that serve our growth and liberation.

By doing so, we can create new systems centred on being joyful, loving, and peaceful.

Welcome to the first episode of The Liberated Woman Podcast. I am thrilled to share this conversation with Yinka Ewuola, a brilliant business strategist and coach dedicated to empowering women to create holistic wealth through their businesses.

Yinka begins by sharing her journey from investment banking to becoming a business strategist focused on cash flow, strategy, mindset, and habits. She believes money is the currency of transformation, essential for creating equitable and just outcomes.

She emphasises the importance of women generating wealth to finance powerful solutions rather than approaching problems from a place of fear. We also explore the difference between capitalism and trade and the need for women to redefine their relationship with money.

Yinka offers a holistic approach to wealth creation, highlighting the importance of viewing cash not just financially but also emotionally and energetically. She provides practical steps to assign roles to your money, ensuring a balanced life that includes saving, investing, and enjoying your earnings.

Our conversation touches on overcoming the scarcity mindset, a challenge familiar to many. Yinka and I discuss the journey from growing up with limited financial resources towards creating, as she puts it, ‘unreasonable levels of wealth’. She emphasises the importance of awareness in transforming your financial reality, alongside embracing both the struggles and triumphs of this journey.

We further explore how individual financial liberation can contribute to systemic change. Yinka shares her vision for building an organisation that eradicates gender pay gaps and supports equitable and ethical practices, highlighting the broader impact of personal wealth creation. 

Yinka advises becoming aware of your financial situation, understanding your spending habits, and actively creating cash flow opportunities. 

She also stresses the importance of contributing to community liberation by creating personal wealth and spending in line with community-focused values.

 

More about today’s guest:

Yinka Ewuola is a multi-award-winning business owner, coach, strategist, trainer, and TEDx speaker who works with ambitious women globally to help them achieve their goals on their own terms. She founded Calla Success Systems to support busy women in building and leading thriving businesses while living inspiring lives. 

 

Yinka is dedicated to changing the narrative around women's business success, focusing on impactful strategies like cash flow and mindset. A champion for women's empowerment, she was selected for the UK LinkedIn Creator Accelerator Programme in 2022 and the UN’s Commission on the Status of Women in 2023 and 2024. Alongside her business, she is a school governor, charity trustee, mother of three, and wife, committed to building a legacy of excellence while living her life to the fullest.

Welcome to another enlightening episode of The Liberated Woman Podcast! Today, I’m delighted to be joined by Effie Kli, a trauma specialist whose work in somatic trauma healing has profoundly impacted many lives.

 

Effie’s approach centres on helping people awaken from the spell of trauma so they can live with vitality rather than simply coping with life.

 

In this episode, we explore how trauma manifests in our bodies, the societal conditioning that leads to emotional neglect, and the importance of learning to be present with our somatic experiences.

 

Effie shares valuable insights into living vibrantly, even with unresolved issues, and offers practical advice on beginning the journey towards somatic healing. We also delve into the relationship between our connections with men and money, and how these often mirror each other in surprising ways.

 

Key Topics Discussed:

• Trauma and Emotional Neglect: We discuss the widespread impact of systemic oppression, particularly patriarchy, on emotional neglect and how it hinders our ability to live fully.
• Societal Conditioning and Hyper-Independence: Effie and I examine the dangers of society’s obsession with hyper-independence and how it contradicts our inherent need for connection.
• The Role of Somatic Healing: Effie highlights the importance of tuning into our bodies and shares how somatic practices can help us reconnect with ourselves.
• Relationships and Money: We explore the fascinating link between our relationships with men and our relationship with money, showing how they often reflect similar patterns.
• Practical Steps for Liberation: Effie provides actionable steps for listeners to begin their journey of somatic healing and personal liberation.

 

Quotes to Remember:

“Trauma decontextualised in a family looks like family traits. Trauma in a people looks like culture.” — Resmaa Menakem

 

“Your anxiety might be a sign that the environment you’re in is not the right one for you.” — Effie Klee

 

More about Effie Kli:

As a child, Effie believed she had the perfect childhood until a sudden family loss at age ten turned her life upside down. To cope with the trauma, she developed coping mechanisms like hypervigilance, perfectionism, and workaholism, mistaking them for her personality. For nearly two decades, she lived in survival mode without realising it.

 

It wasn’t until a period of high anxiety and panic attacks, despite her seemingly perfect life, that Effie began to question her reality. Diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorder, she initially turned to medication, but when the anxiety returned, she sought deeper solutions. Discovering the concept of trauma, she realised her body was responding normally to past experiences.

 

Somatic healing transformed her life, leading her to train in somatic-based and trauma-informed modalities. Since then, Effie has helped hundreds of people through workshops, private sessions, and her 12-week signature programme, Healing Trauma Guided by the Body. Her passion lies in helping others trust their bodies, believe in their capacity to heal, and move from stuckness to vitality.

Is your deep inner work a help or a hindrance?

 

I am fascinated by the way our unmet needs show up in how we live love and work. I am especially interested in how they impact our work as what we do to make a living has a huge impact on our lives! 

 

The whole 12 + we spend in school is all about preparing us for the world of work.

 

In this episode I am sharing some thoughts on the way 'deep inner' work can be resistance and a subconscious attempt to re-enact familiar patterns from childhood. 

 

If your deep inner work is keeping you stuck, it's holding you back. 

 

I'd love to hear how this landed with you.

 

P.s. I am hosting a 2 day online event to help you stop (over)thinking and start doing. Info here [LINK]

Hello you, welcome to the first interview in my recently rebranded podcast!   Today I am joined by the wonderful life and business coach Ruthie Zerai Semere.   In this conversation, Ruthie and I talk about the difference between healing for growth and healing as a ruse for resistance. This conversation was inspired by a conversation Ruthie and I had about the ways we have seen the people we work with unconsciously avoid taking action because they get stuck in their healing process.    We explored the reasons why this may occur and how protective patterns from childhood impact our growth or avoidance.   We also touch on our experience as daughters of immigrants and how our blackness affects our approach to healing and growth work. Of course we  talk about the ways in which our toxic productivity and people pleasing served us and why it had to be released in order for us to embody our healthiest adult selves.    It's a really gorgeous conversation. I am delighted to share it with you.      About Ruthie: Ruthie Zerai is a professional life and business coach with over 12 years experience working in Leadership positions in the corporate space before shifting into coaching in 2017.   Ruthie coaches individuals, entrepreneurs and businesses around the globe through her virtual coaching practice. As a daughter of immigrants that is tri-lingual, Ruthie is a culturally competent coach with a global mindset that connects with people from all walks of life easily.

People-pleasing is harming your business and preventing you from showing up as the leader you are. It could also be disempowering the people that want to work with you. 

 

I am also inviting you to join my Emancipate Your Business hybrid life and business coaching programme for people who want to create work that supports them to live well. No more using your business as a self-help tool!

 

Enrolment is open from now until Monday 21st October 2022! Apply and book a call with me here [LINK]. There are 8 places available and 2 have already gone.

I am evolving and so is my podcast!

 

Welcome to the newly rebranded, Work less. Live more podcast.

 

In this intro podcast episode I'm sharing the shift in focus of my podcast and my work.

 

Here is the quote I shared in this episode:

 

"Only from a capitalist viewpoint being productive is a moral virtue, if not a moral imperative. From the viewpoint of the working class, being productive simply means being exploited" - Silvia Federici

In this episode I share how childhood adaptations become maladaptive in adulthood. The way we learn to cope with caregivers that aren't meeting our need to be whole can look like what we call self sabotage and limiting beliefs in adulthood. However they are maladaptive coping strategies and protection mechanisms.

 

These patterns of behaviour can make out attempts to grow and develop our businesses feel like a threat and trigger our learnt survival responses.

 

Ultimately these things limit our ability to develop self-belief - our beliefs shape our reality.

 

On Friday 23rd September I will be teaching a masterclass about the skill of self belief and practical ways to create new beliefs at my Embody Your Future NOW mini virtual retreat - plus a whole lot more.

Welcome to this beautifully nourishing conversation with Jazreena Harlow on being your radiant self.

 

In this episode Jazreena and I talk about the importance of allowing ourselves to be held, why representation matters and how we are all part of a collective whole.

Breath, balm and brunch day retreat

Welcome to the first Conversations From The Heart: Heart Talk where I have the opportunity to have a heartfelt conversation with a wonderful guest.

 

Conversations From The Heart: Heart Talk, begins with a body scan (you can join in too if it is safe for you to do so). The conversation is guided by whatever comes up in the moment for my guest. There are no interview questions, no set script and hardly any editing. Pauses and process time - the things that make us human are deliberately left untouched.

 

In a fast-paced world of expeditious efficiency and trying to do things in the shortest time possible I offer an oasis. 

 

An oasis where there is no race to hot takes or intensity. Our conversations take the time they take and my guests and I have space to be our perfectly imperfect human selves. 

 

Today I am joined by my friend and resplendent human being, Sas Petherick for my first heart-led conversation.

 

In this conversation, Sas and I talk about sisterhood, discernment and the precious care friendship and being a friend requires.

 

We talk about the elusive nature of being present and how easily we take it for granted even though it's all we have. Sas' connection to her heart via our body scan made the preciousness of now even more apparent as she had a serious heart condition that could have had a fatal impact. Sas' tender heart reminds her of the importance of being here now and returning whenever she ventures into the past or future for too long.

 

We talk about the enforced stillness of the pandemic and lessons thrust upon us by having to sit in our aloneness and begin to claim who we are. Sas shares why she is excited about this possibility.

 

We also get geeky and talk about academic stuff we love!

 

This is a really gentle conversation, I hope it offers you some comfort.

I've been having thoughts about how power impacts self-care and how I would like to help change this experience with my new immersive hybrid life and business group coaching programme, Emancipate Your Business for details click here [LINK].

I wrote some words to share with the wonderful humans in my Sovereign group coaching programme as they are doing such courageous work to create more helpful ways of being.

 

Then I thought about some of the issues in the world right now and how they can distance us from how courageous we are being as we journey towards healing our inner relationships. So I thought I would share these words with you too.

 

Thank you for the inspiration Sovereign queens. I see you and honour you.

Welcome to The Liberated Woman Podcast! Today, I am overjoyed to be joined by the phenomenal EbonyJanice Moore. 

It is an utter joy to be in conversation with one of the most impactful women I have experienced. EbonyJanice’s work has supported me in so many ways from her writing to her patreon and the content she shares on social media. 

EbonyJanice is a brilliant thinker, writer, creative, and advocate for Black women’s sovereignty. In this episode, we explore the profound power of reclaiming our full selves, the wisdom of our ancestors, and the transformative nature of imagination.

Throughout our conversation, EbonyJanice shares her journey of self-sovereignty, emphasising the importance of rejecting societal expectations, particularly those imposed on Black women. We explore the concept of “mamification” and how it often limits Black women’s identities, and discuss how reconnecting with ancestral wisdom can guide us towards true liberation. 

EbonyJanice also highlights the critical role of imagination in personal and collective freedom, urging us to “dream ourselves free.”

Key Takeaways:

• The Power of Naming: Tamu emphasises the importance of calling EbonyJanice by her full name, symbolising the respect and recognition of her full identity.
• Reclaiming Loudness: EbonyJanice shares personal stories, including memories of her cousin Latresha Gowdy, to explore the concept of loudness—both literal and metaphorical—and its role in Black women’s lives.
• Navigating Discomfort: They discuss how embracing discomfort is crucial in breaking free from societal expectations, especially for Black women.
• Mamification of Black Women: Tamu and EbonyJanice dissect the societal expectations placed on Black women to be perpetual caretakers and how embracing womanism can help dismantle these roles.
• Ancestral Wisdom: EbonyJanice shares a profound experience of receiving wise counsel from her grandmother, emphasising the importance of listening to and honouring ancestral guidance.
• Dreaming Ourselves Free: The episode highlights the importance of imagination and play as tools for liberation, inspired by the works of authors like Pearl Kledge.
• Imagination as Liberation: Both Tamu and EbonyJanice advocate for carving out time to daydream and imagine new possibilities, seeing it as essential for creativity and personal growth.

Actionable Steps:

60-Second Stillness: Start with 60 seconds of stillness each day to connect with yourself. Gradually increase this time as you become more comfortable with the practice.

Integrity Work: Commit to being the authentic version of yourself, which is a powerful tool for personal and collective liberation.

Nurture Your Imagination: Dedicate time to daydream and explore your imagination. This can be a powerful source of creativity and solutions in your life.

Another day another podcast!

 

Today I am talking about the difference between the protective pattern of attachment that enables us to survive and connection that allows us to feel safe.

 

At the end I asked these questions:

What does safety mean to you?

What does safety feel like in your body? What sensations tell you you’re safe, where do you feel them?

Who are you with when you feel these sensations of safety?

Where are you when you feel them?

What are you doing?

 

I mention Sadie Tichelaar, Gabriella Espinonsa the Non-Linear Movement Method, Billy Ocean. 

 

I also mention my Sovereign group coaching experience which is open for enrolment until Friday 17th December 2021. Details here.

I have had a number of conversations with women about struggling to find a coach, mentor, therapist that can hold their 'bigness'.

 

These are often sensitive women, even though they may not view themselves that way. They tend to have big energy, big feelings, big emotions, big views, big wisdom, big power but don't know how to hold and channel it. This is usually because we are conditioned to play small and not be too much.

 

This feeds into feeling like you are simultaneously too much and not enough. As such this can create an environment where people say that they were unable to work with whichever helping professional because they couldn't handle how big they are.

 

However, when I think about my life experience and coaching practice what I think is happening is that people with big feelings etc are under-skilled and unable to hold their power as they, like most of us have been conditioned to play small.

 

As such, they unconsciously make other people responsible for their bigness. This way they can unconsciously blame others and their confirmation bias confirms that they are beyond being supported because they are indeed too much and not enough. Hyper-independence and loneliness prevails and the cycle repeats.

 

I can help unravel this and support you to learn how to take care of your needs so that you feel grounded and strong enough to be a conduit for your power rather than burned by it.

 

Explore working with me here [LINK], lets make 2022 a power-full one.

I am back with a rebranded podcast. Today I am exploring fearing what we desire most and how this can lead to self-abandonment.

"Abandoning ourselves to care for others makes us lonely and reduces our capacity to truly give and receive love. It’s a pattern that’s incredibly hard to identify because it is a sophisticated shapeshifter that can provide immediate gratification and at times makes us feel righteous".   I invite you to join me in providing an olive branch to hurts we have internalised by engaging in an exercise to offer healing to a (light) wound from the past.   Big up to my friends Cee and Sareta who inspired me to stop waiting to restart my podcast when I listened to their new podcast, "Women Who Rebrand"   I mentioned Peter Levine, listen to him talk about trauma here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1RnTipiU_Q   Connect with me on Social media here.   My life-changing group coaching programme Sovereign is open for enrolment until 10/12/21. Find out more here.

This podcast was recorded in June my pandemic inability showed up in my podcast hence the 6-month delay!

 

Anyway, today I am sharing a nourishing chat with my darling Kate Taylor. Kate is a sparkling disco ball in human form.

 

In this episode, Kate talks about living a satiating BIG BOLD BEAUTIFUL LIFE and feeling into your expansiveness.

Kate is a lover of disco balls, a bright red lip and more leopard print than is necessary, she isn’t your average coach. She’s a leading life design and empowerment coach, creative business coach & mentor, Master NLP practitioner & clinical hypnotherapist, Qoya teacher, writer, speaker and creator of the Practical Magic Activation Deck — the UK’s first life coach in a box.

She’s also the creator of the popular Practical Magic Podcast where each week she shares wisdom and interviews with special guests from the worlds of creativity, wellness and modern spirituality.

 

 

 

Journal prompts from Kate:

What am I here to do?  When I feel into that, where am I most alive?

How does it feel to be in expansion?

Welcome to episode 91. I am joined by Nicky Clinch, Maturation Coach & Facilitator, Spiritual Mentor, CEO & Entrepreneur. Her mission in life is to help people break free of the confines of their past traumas, self-defeating patterns and suffering so that they can realise, and come home to, who they truly are.

 

Nicky shares how maturation supports us to be present with and heal trauma so that the wounded stop inflicting wounds on the wounded.

 

We speak candidly on how this work helps people dismantle racism, become actively anti-racist and close the gap on separation.

 

There are many mic drop moments in this conversation about the messiness that is coming home to alignment.

Claudine helps women have better periods, address womb health issues and transition through perimenopause and menopause with ease.

In this episode, Claudine shares information about nutrition and the ways food can support us in highly stressful situations. The conversation evolved into a healing dialogue about the ways systematic racism impacts black people from code-switching, second-guessing and internalising micro-aggressions as a means to navigate the complexity of being a black professional. 

We explore the ways this method of protection could be stored in the body as fibroids and stress-related illness.

Growing up in Everton, Sarah was deeply influenced by the social and economic challenges faced by her community.

 

This environment, marked by high unemployment, poor housing conditions, and limited access to resources, instilled in Sarah a strong sense of social justice and the importance of activism from a young age.

• Sarah’s experiences growing up in an activist family and how it shaped her approach to activism.
• The impact of her campaigns, including one that led to Marks & Spencer paying the living wage to 50,000 staff.

 

Challenges and Personal Reflections:

• Tamu and Sarah discuss the challenges of being an activist, particularly for those directly affected by the issues.
• The importance of self-care, avoiding burnout, and finding joy in activism.
