Growth In Progress

Before you turn off this episode, if you’re a bit of a skeptic when it comes to all things manifesting and abundance mindset then this episode is for you. Most people think that manifesting is what you see on TikTok, visualising something you want and it magically falls into your lap. The honest truth is that’s not how it works and we’re conscious of the privilege that feeds into...

If you’re feeling a bit stuck at the moment and as though everything is a bit on top of you then don’t worry, we promise you aren’t alone. No matter how hard we try, sometimes life happens and everything becomes a little chaotic and overwhelming. When this happens there’s only really one solution: to try to get back on track. But if you’re feeling lost or a little stu...

Flexible working might seem a bit of a rouge topic for a podcast that talks about personal growth but bear with us. Flexible working has gone from a luxury afforded to a few to something that is now almost assumed to be an established practice within a lot of industries. We’ve got more options with how we work, when we work and where we work but unless we know how we actually work  best and...

Have you ever felt like everyone is thinking about you far more than they probably are? Don’t worry, you aren’t the only one. This is a perfect example of The Spotlight Effect. It’s the phenomenon that tricks us into overestimating how much everyone is actually thinking about us. Maybe it’s something you said at drinks with friends, or a presentation at work that you feel y...

This week is a very special episode because… we’re recording in person! We’re reunited for a friend’s hen party weekend, so this extra long reunion episode includes plenty of catching up, the hen party games we’ve got planned and what activities we got up to at the hen party! Plus we’re also discussing our quarterly reviews and how important it is to check in wi...

With everything life is throwing at us all, we wanted to talk about how to make rest a habit. Rest isn’t just more sleep or spending time sitting on the sofa. Instead we’re talking about how important it is to create space for yourself consciously to take a break from what you usually do and using habit stacking to fit it into our everyday routine, rather than the challenge of trying t...

We often speak about taking opportunities when they come up and focusing on where we want to be, rather than when or how we get there and a huge part of that comes from being open-minded about opportunities and alternative ways of thinking. Open-mindedness is general is a great skill to flex in terms of being a more tolerant person, asking questions, getting comfortable with things not working out...

Wellbeing is often used as a catch-all term that gets thrown around a lot, talking about mental wellbeing, physical wellbeing, emotional wellbeing – but what actually is wellbeing? Wellbeing can really be something that’s not only holistic but also very individual and we’re chatting about that individual experience of wellbeing this week and about personal responsibility to activ...

Trends come and go quicker than ever thanks to social media and the rise of TikTok, trends no longer only come from celebrities or mainstream media and there are different trends every week which can feel overwhelming. That’s why this week we’re discussing the need to critically assess trends, to decide if it’s something you need or is it something that’s actually harmful t...

Sometimes you just know, other times it’s not quite that simple. And when it comes to our careers it’s rarely clear cut. This episode is all about career changes, knowing when it’s time to make the big change and how to trust in the process a bit (and not be put off by the Valley of Despair!). Whether it’s a sideways pivot or an entire redirection, it’s scary but so o...

It’s the 1st Feb as you’re listening, maybe the momentum of 2023 is dropping, or maybe you’re listening later in the year and you’re struggling to keep up with goals and intentions you set a few months ago. While New Year goals and January is fueled by the motivation of social media and people around you, having the perseverance to continue long after the motivation has wor...

Of all the changes we’ve made over the past few years (and there’s been a lot) creating a habit of practising gratitude has to be the one that’s had the biggest difference on our lives. Not only does it make you feel great, it also helps you to stay in the moment more, take a slightly slower pace and build resilience for when it feels like there’s very little to be grateful...

We’re into the third week of January and perhaps your motivation towards your new year goals is starting to slip, or maybe you’re putting too much on your plate at work, at home, with your family, whatever that might be. Being busy and exhausted does not always equal productivity, so in this episode we’re talking about those areas of friction in your life that are burning you out...

We know the start of a year can feel overwhelming, intimidating and it can be difficult to maintain your motivation. If this time also coincides with winter, like it does for us, then it can be even harder. Leaning into the seasons more, making the most of the opportunities that winter brings and seeing it as an opportunity to set yourself up for the rest of the year has helped us to reframe Janua...

In our first episode of 2023 we want to talk about what freedom means to you. Goal setting is obviously a huge topic around this time of year, but a big motivating factor to consider in setting goals is the freedom it can bring, whether that’s financial freedom, independence, freedom from health concerns, time freedom, freedom from unhealthy relationships, free speech – whatever freedo...

As we come to the end of the year and our last episode of 2022, we wanted to chat about your future self, thinking about what you want your future self to be and taking actions that your future self will thank you for. It’s easy to get caught up in goal setting and having big goals and aspirations for the new year, but when it comes to the kind of person we want to be, often it’s the s...

We love getting organised, tackling our goals and ticking off our to do lists, but with the end of the year fast approaching it can quickly start to feel overwhelming. That’s where compassionate to do lists come into play. Instead of focusing on how much you can tick off it’s about taking time to re-evaluate and really think what you want to achieve before the end of the year, thinking...

A scarcity mindset is thinking or feeling that there isn’t enough to go around and that you’re not worthy of success, wealth, health, love or anything positive in your life. We’re taught that wanting something is “bad” but this isn’t a conversation about manifesting these things into existence. An abundance mindset is about cultivating an outlook of openness to...

Protecting your energy sounds like a bit of a ‘woo’ topic but we’ve all experienced those people who you spend time with and feel drained afterwards, so this week we’re discussing our own responsibilities to recognise and counteract that. You can’t always cut negative people from your life, but you can take steps to distance yourself from those people, whether that&#8...

Everyday we all make thousands of choices. Some are small, simple ones with no lasting impact, others have a far more profound effect on our daily lives. When we think about these bigger decisions it’s hard not to look back and wonder whether we made the right call, whether things would have been better if we did something else or whether we should have decided differently because that&#8217...

Having the courage to change your mind about something can feel scary. That could be a belief you once held but no longer do, it could be a life path you wanted but now want to pursue another, or it could be deciding to make lifestyle changes. But there’s a strange belief that you should follow through on all your decisions and accomplish everything you set out to, society ties changing your...

It’s a saying we’ve all heard – “You can’t be everyone’s cup of tea”, but how often do we actually remind ourselves that we can’t please everyone? We’re often so busy worrying about what everyone thinks of us that we forget to think of ourselves and how much unnecessary stress that puts us under. You can’t be everything to everyone and if...

Ever given something new a go and found yourself struggling to get into a rhythm? Or maybe you just feel a bit like a fraud and you don’t really know what you’re doing? Maybe it’s a new job and suddenly starting again feels like the most humbling experience? Don’t worry, we’ve all been there, we just don’t talk about it. But sucking at something when you first start is perfectly normal, it’s all p...

No doubt most of us have felt the pressure at one point or another to be original or come up with a fresh new idea. The idea of originality and being “the first” is highly praised but in reality there is no such this has originality. No matter your thoughts, your opinions, your actions or ideas, someone will have had them before. And that’s fine! Perhaps instead of focusing on be...

On the face of it, people giving advice seems like a great thing, people freely offering their advice is great and we always assume it comes from a good place. But the problem with advice is that it’s often rooted in that person’s opinions and experiences and as we get older, we realise that it’s important to cherry-pick the advice you’re given and consider what a person&#8...
