Are you giving yourself enough opportunities to succeed? This week we’re chatting all things people pleasing and prioritising - all of those lovely ways we get in our own way and self-sabotage from doing the things that are really important to us.

"Does the garden deserve to grow? No, it's designed to grow." Let's kick off the spring season with a chat about how the idea of needing to deserve growth is crazy! It's not selfish to work on things that feel meaningful to you, in fact usually the opposite is true because you never know who you're going to inspire through the ripple effect of your actions. Spring is the...

How often do you think "I should be better at this," or "I shouldn't feel this way?" This week we're addressing those pesky "shoulds" that get in the way of us knowing what we really want and how we genuinely feel.

I have a theory that we're letting our brains self sabotage our potential before we've even begun. How often do you have a great idea, only for your brain to shut it down and come up with excuses (or really good reasons why we should start next year... and definitely not today). In episode 2 of our winter season, we're talking about dreaming bigger. Letting go of the 'how' and...
