EMPOWER with Tesh & Mihi

Send us Fan Mail We are heading into crunchtime for 2021 and as we enter the busiest time of the year with deadlines and Christmas and holiday plans, it's easy to get cripplingly overwhelmed by it all. In this episode, we discuss burnout in all aspects of life; what it looks like, how it affects us and what we can do to avoid it (or in some cases, recover from it). It's been a big year f...

Send us Fan Mail We get one life, and the sooner we accept that we are here on limited time, the sooner we can start making the most of what we do have. Loss touches us at varying degrees at different times of our lives and tragedy always has a way of throwing everything into perspective. It reminds us to tell the people we love that we love them, but we need to say those things without someone ha...

Send us Fan Mail Recently I've had people reach out for advice around university and whether (based on the information they have given me), I think they would be 'smart enough' to pursue a university degree. Now is a good time for me to share some of my takeaways from law school and my experience at uni in general, but more importantly, I want to break apart this false assumption th...

Send us Fan Mail Despite what the media has us believing about what self-love and self-care 'looks' like, and by that I mean: face masks, massages and shopping sprees, there are plenty of other ways that we can show ourselves self-care without it breaking the bank (or even touching the bank). In this episode, I talk about the small ways that we can indulge in physical, social, mental, em...

Send us Fan Mail Why do we find it so difficult to acknowledge and honour our worth? Why are women less likely to apply for a job when we don't meet 100% of the criteria, or less likely to ask for a payrise in comparison to men? Why don't we feel comfortable speaking up and demanding to be treated the way we deserve? Often it has something to do with lacking the ability to honour our wor...

Send us Fan Mail Change is unavoidable in the human experience, and without it we cannot grow. But, it can be hard to navigate through a busy transition period or even gather enough courage to step into change in the first place. This episode is totally inspired by what I'm going through right now and is geared towards making a big career change but we will also discuss the ways in which bein...

Send us Fan Mail Financial health is having a conscious and purposeful relationship with money. We humans have a complicated and complex relationship with money but most of us cannot live without it. Are you good with your money? If not, it only takes a few small mindset shifts to significantly repair the relationship if it's dysfunctional. In this episode, I will share my own money story (wh...

Send us Fan Mail Comparison is the thief of joy! So why do we do it to ourselves?! It is human nature to compare yourself to others, but we can all admit that we are too familiar with that feeling of desperate comparison that leaves us feeling threatened, insecure and jealous. Too much comparison is not good for us. Obsessive comparison is terrible for us. So how do we get past it? When it's...

Send us Fan Mail No one likes to admit they are a people pleaser but many of us are. If you are a woman, I can pretty much guarantee that you will be so good at people pleasing that it should be on your CV.  Why? Because we are a product of the society within which we were raised and women are, and have always been, raised to make sure everyone else is happy, often at their own personal expense. I...

Send us Fan Mail Gaslighting is not cute, it's not fun, but it happens. We know that it is in our best interests to avoid toxic people that engage in toxic behaviour, but let's be more specific. Gaslighting is a form of emotional, abusive manipulation. Often we don't realise it's happening to us until it's too late. Even when we finally see it for what it is, what are we s...

Send us Fan Mail If you live in NZ right now, you will be well aware that August 2021 has thrown us back into a Level 4 lockdown. The coronavirus has rocked our world ever since its arrival and it continues to impact the freedom of movement that we used to take for granted. How have you coped with the countless restrictions, uncertainty and new way of life that we've been forced to accept as...

Send us Fan Mail What is confidence to you? Society has successfully convinced us that confidence is this magical (often unattainable) thing that you either have, or you don't. It's reserved only for those who are conventionally attractive, extroverted and successful. However, there is a difference between someone that appears to be confident, and someone that actually is confident. We d...

Send us Fan Mail They say, "You are only as good as the company you keep." I don't necessarily know who 'they' are, but they are right. We are all well aware of how influential our nearest and dearest are in our lives, but how do we know if they are the right people for us? The decisions we make around who we invest energy into and spend the most time with are quite possib...

Send us Fan Mail We all have that negative voice in the back of our minds that regularly pops up and tries to convince us that we aren't good enough, or that we need to remain in our comfort zone. This is all well and good, until we realise that voice is holding us back and is often the reason we feel like we aren't living a life true to who we are. It's only once we learn to ignore...

Send us Fan Mail What kind of relationship do you have with your body? For many of us, it's complicated. Something that we need to work really hard on is trying to drain out all of the expectations and standards that are forced on us about how we are supposed to look and instead just focus on accepting my body in all of its forms. Our bodies are with us for our entire lives (like, we literall...

Send us Fan Mail On 1 August 2021, I turn 25, and that means it's only right that I reflect on the quarter century that has been my life and share some of the most important life lessons I've learnt so far. What are some of your greatest life lessons so far? Let's chat on INSTAGRAM & TIKTOK or you can flick me an email at hello@mihisorensen.com ---- ORGANISEHER™ HAS LAUNCHED &am...

Send us Fan Mail Procrastination is the cycle that we love to hate. We all wish we didn't do it and we know it makes no rational sense, but that doesn't stop us from falling into its trap. There's no quick fix for procrastination, but once we realise what triggers it, we become better at reducing it's influence on our lives. Instead of allowing it to let us drag out the things...

Send us Fan Mail For many of us, thinking and talking about our past experiences of heartbreak and relationship (or friendship) break ups, makes us want to squirm. Through all the immense feelings tied up in pain and heartbreak, it is hard to see the positive. However, when one door closes, another door opens. With some perspective, you will start to see that some of your most painful moments were...

Send us Fan Mail We all know that we have so much to be grateful for, but often we forget to practice that gratitude. By adding a few gratitude practices into your day, you will realise how vital it is that you take the time to remind yourself what there is to be thankful for in any moment. The act of practicing gratitude allows us to find and feel joy, and helps us shift our focus when things are...

Send us Fan Mail Boundaries, boundaries, BOUNDARIES - those invisible things that can totally improve the quality of our lives if we are setting and honouring them the way we should. Do you have trouble making or sticking to boundaries, even when you know they are in your best interests? In this episode, I discuss classic examples of boundary crossing and give you some helpful tips about how to es...

Send us Fan Mail At some point in our lives it becomes inevitable that we will need to ask for help.  Challenge and difficulties are a part of life and as much as we wish we could, there is no avoiding it. Luckily for us, living the human experience means that we never have to do it alone (and we shouldn't have to!). In this episode, I share with you the steps that I have taken to put my ment...

Send us Fan Mail Do you suffer from imposter syndrome? I know I have! In this episode, I share how some of my greatest achievements so far have been marred by feelings of imposter syndrome. I'll also share some tips with you about what's helped me to overcome it. We all deserve to embrace and celebrate our achievements. Imposter syndrome is a big, bad monster that lives in our heads but...

Send us Fan Mail It's a fact that we spend too much energy worrying about what people think of us. In this episode, I discuss how being consumed by self-consciousness shaped some of the big decisions in my life (including delaying this podcast!) but more importantly, how to stop living a life where you are constantly concerned about what other people think of you. Let's chat on INSTAGRAM...
