SEASON 4: 0049 Reflections on 2023 - my biggest learnings As 2023 is slowly drawing to a close, one of my favourite things to do is to pause and reflect on the year that was.

It's that time of year (in the northern hemisphere at least) where the weather has changed and the dark nights have drawn in. It can be a tricky time, with enthusiasm and motivation dipping, and a feeling of wanting to hibernate and withdraw. This episode, I’m sharing my ride-or-die top 5 tips to thrive in the winter season. This is not a conversation about pushing through or hustling, this is a c...

SEASON 4: 0045 Rising above it - how to let go of drama in your life We all go through seasons in life where things feel more high voltage, more stressful, more dramatic.

Today on the Connected & Confident podcast, we are talking all about the incredible power that comes with actually trusting yourself. Exploring how many of us have been conditioned out of deep self belief and self trust, and asking the question - how could we change the world if we simply choos...

SEASON 4: 0043 Clearing out, letting go, and making space for the new You might be more familiar with a spring clean, than an autumn clean - but when this season often sees us all spending more time indoors and at home, why not consider clearing out your space and shifting the energy up round about now? This is NOT an episode about organising your home, this is an episode about intentionally letti...

Do you think of yourself as creative? If you do - what does that mean to you? And if you don’t, why not? Have you ever stopped to think about the labels we take on from other people? You’re so good at that, you’re so organised, you’re so creative…or not. And how much do we move through life unconsciously carrying these definitions of ourselves, which actually might not fit us at all? This episode...

Have you ever decided to do something that is WAY out of your comfort zone? To actually go after something you have, perhaps for your whole life, always dismissed as ‘not for me’? That’s how I have always felt about running. So when I started Couch to 5K, I wasn’t exactly ‘all in for the in’. But after 2 months of showing up for it, 3 times a week, rain or shine, its been an illuminating experienc...

Work and careers have changed exponentially in the last 3, 10, 20 years. And, if you look even further back than that, the way we work and create our careers now looks nothing like it did 40 or 50 years ago. I’ve been a fan of a career pivot for my whole career. From manchester to NYC to Hong Kong to Sydney and back to Manchester, my choice to continually pivot, try, learn and pivot again has give...

Do you ever feel a little bit, well, lost? Uncertain of the next step to take or if you’re on the right path? Have you ever been in a job, a relationship, a particular town or city and been consumed with a feeling of *this can’t be it* ? Its often these feelings that prompt us to start seeking deeper meaning, greater connection and a way to define ourselves in a new way. Often, we call this seekin...

Ah, confidence. A catch-all word that means a whole heap of different things to different people. It's often the word my clients use when I ask them how I can best support them as a coach - ‘I want to be more confident’ or ‘I want to feel more confident’ is a response I often hear. This episode we’re taking a closer look at what confidence is (and isn’t) and how you can take super simple, but mass...

This episode takes a deep dive into a subject very close to my heart - toxic productivity. That feeling you have when you can't quite let yourself relax, switch off, and do nothing. The little voice somewhere in your system that makes you feel less than, if you’re not actively striving or working towards a project, task, or every day chore. Toxic productivity goes beyond workplace culture, it's pa...

I’m bringing back one of the most popular buzz-word topics in personal development this week, sharing my take on the one thing you need to do, to manifest the life you want.

In this episode I’m talking about how you really start to *be* it so you can start to *see*...
