Welcome to 'Comfortable in Your Own Skin' podcast, where we together embark on a journey to discover the essence of self-contentment and personal growth. This episode dives into the importance of radical honesty and self-awareness, embracing the twists and turns of our unique paths. Amidst societal pressure to follow specific paths and attain specific goals, it is crucial to remember that one-size...

Where do men go to lean in? How does society truly unshackle from the belief that 'boys don't cry?' Why is it important that we do? In this episode I delve into the complete turn around from working with predominantly women to 100% of my clients being men. Never have I been more honoured than to offer a space for male clients to lean into all that it means to be them and explore all that has taken...

It's nearly Christmas... it brings out the BEST and the WORST in a lot of us!! When talking about how comfortable we are in our own skin it appears family is a major factor for so many people in being able to live true to who they are. Our search for safety and love will influence how much we step up and out of the generational beliefs and perceptions of who we are. Trust me, if this resonates, yo...

Do you have something you are 'putting up with?' What if you didn't have to? What would the alternative be for you? Is there one? Today I explore my thoughts around putting up with things in our life and how I believe we can manage these situations that may challenge us. 

While you may like the idea of feeling comfortable in your own skin, taking back your power and living a life more true to you, it doesn't mean everyone else will! If you really want to take ownership of your life and open up to all the opportunities and wonderment of what life has to offer you, get comfortable with the pushback.  My No 1 advice... don't take it personally!!

Mindset is super important to help us 'come back' from situations that challenge us. It's also imperative for helping us stretch outside of our comfort zones... but is it ALL there is?  Tune into this episode as I dive into what is more important, in my opinion, than mindset. 

What happens when 'shi(f)t happens'?  When things happen in life the resolution will depend on your ability to shift.  Where are you focused? What do you need to change?  Where does your power lie? It lies in SHIFTING your perception and focusing on the most important and powerful thing... YOU.

Have you ever been told that you just need to let it go? Maybe you've been in a situation that isn't working for you and you know you need to let it go, but let go of what exactly? And if you're getting ready to 'let it go' what are you going to grab onto instead?  Tune in for my thoughts about learning to surrender and knowing exactly what you are letting go of so you can be comfortable in your o...

What is it about acceptance that holds you back? Just because you accept something doesn't mean you are ok with it nor that it is comfortable. Acceptance offers you a totally different gift.  This week I explore acceptance on the path of being the best version of you, you can be. 

Have you ever wondered why life is so hard? Maybe you were raised with the belief that anything worth having required hard work? What if that simply isn't true? What if life got to be easy? What if you being you was the easiest thing to do? What might happen if you truly allowed yourself to believe that 'Easy Is Right' and anything else is just not for you? Join me for today's deep dive into why l...

How do we walk our own path and stay true to ourselves? In a nutshell how do you become comfortable in your own skin? How do you walk and talk your truth and seperate mental chatter from soul whisperings? What if you stopped and paused and asked yourself some simple questions? What if peace or pain was the measure stick? This week's episode explores how to begin the conversation with yourself to s...

How does judgement get in the way of us feeling comfortable in our own skin?  Have you ever felt judged? Do you judge? How does your self judgement go?  In this episode I tease apart what I think judgement is really doing and ways to break through the weight of it.

There comes a time where you simply must choose... do you listen out there for who you are or are you willing to go within? So often we believe we are someone but it is based in the influences of those around us. Positive and negative identities are assumed and roles played out. If I asked you who you were how would you answer me? Are you sure that IS you or is it who you feel you need to be? Are...

How often do you find yourself going against what you want because you think it is selfish to ask for what you want?  It's another common phenomenon, another, in my opinion, generational belief system that irritates the soul of so many people.  The in ability to step towards what is right for you has left many people living in dysfunction and overwhelm and feeling like you have no choice and no pe...

Have you ever wondered 'What is the purpose of my life?' Do you feel this yearning, this pull to find and fulfil your life's purpose?  It may just be simpler than you think! Today's episode dives into what I have come to realise our purpose (at least mine) really is and how important fulfilling this purpose really is. 

Who Are You? It is a question I keep coming back to over and over and over.  We are taught from a young age what we should strive for in life, what the 'normal' way of living is.  Go to school, get a job or career, find a partner, have children, buy a house!! There area few variations to that and yet for the most part this is what many people do with their life.  What happens when you can't do the...

What happens when we strive for perfection, in ourselves, in others, in our lives? Can it actually get in the way of us creating the things we are striving for?  What if the messiness we might experience in life can call us to adapt and accept the imperfections that are in fact perfect?  Today's episode explores the messiness of perfection and how we can move through the demands we place on things...

How connected do you feel to the nudges you are being given within your life? There is so much emphasis placed on mindset and strategy and goal setting that sometimes we forget, or don't even realise that every 'feeling' we have can have an intelligence we can use to direct our choices.  Our mind, the safety guardian and powerhouse of creation is not the only tool we have in living a life that is...

Does asking for help often leave you feeling awkward and uncomfortable? How often do your shoulder the burdens of life alone? Why is that? Why is it so challenging for some people to ask for what they need, while others seem to have no hassle at all? What little murmurings maybe taking place? What lies or misconceptions have you bought into? Let's chat about getting comfortable with asking for wha...

The parenting gig is not always an easy one, the path can be speckled with pressures and unexpected events which can cause us to react in ways we may not initially understand.  What if we can release ourselves from the pressure of getting it 'right' because we recognise what contributes to the need for having 'good' children? Today's episode I delve into why I needed to ensure that I raised 'good'...

Mental Health is a cage no-one wishes to be placed in. Being locked within thoughts and feelings that seemed inescapable was not the way I ever thought I'd spend some of my days, yet twice I have succumb to feeling like I was losing my mind. Both experiences were incredibly different and so I'm diving into what I feel led to each encounter and share that while it may feel as though we are 'losing...

Do you find that adulting can be all a bit serious?  Life pressures and struggles, I mean it's a serious business this whole growing up gig. But maybe it doesn't have to be this way, maybe even when life is complex we get to choose how we delight in it. What if the answers we are seeking, the resolution and solution are actually at the end of our joy? Imagine that! Join me as I explore my own unco...

How often do you find yourself trying to explain yourself to someone else and getting all twisted up in knots? A wise woman once told me "No Wood On The Fire, Andrea" and it has been some of the most important advice I have ever received.  Let's explore what is underneath the need to explain your decisions and why less is more when you know who you are.

If you want a different life experience are you creating the space you need to welcome it in? So often people get stuck in what they don't want without realising that this crowds out the space for what they do desire.  Today's episode explores the emotional, spiritual, mental and physical space that is required to live a life that feels on point for you.

We will all experience death and we will all eventually meet our physical demise, yet what about the non-obvious death? How can we use those life experiences that bring about a death of a relationship, a career, a friendship or our dreams to create more aliveness within us?  It really was through facing my own child's mortality and the death of my husband that made me live more fully.  What if we...
