SELF Care 101

In today’s episode I’m exploring the 12 stages of burnout and what you can do to help yourself if you resonate with any of them. I’ve chosen this topic because the prevention of burnout is at the core of what I do so even though I’ve already covered burnout in this podcast, I wanted to create this particular burnout episode in the style of the new show. Burnout can be a self-perpetuating cycle if...

It’s been a minute, how are you doing? Firstly, my sincerest apologies for not recording shows these past few months. I’ve been going through some stuff which I’ll be sharing with you today so that you too can navigate the level-up when it comes knocking. In today’s show I’m sharing a couple of updates with some tips to help you finish this year strong especially if you’re feeling like something n...

The third element of Space Time Intention method is Intention. Everything starts with intention but we often storm ahead with what we’re doing without knowing why we’re doing it. Our intention needs to be the starting point. What does intention even mean? It’s basically a promise, a vow you’re making to yourself which is formed by the heart and the mind, almost like a solemn vow. You can set a goa...

This episode, we’re moving on to the Time element of my Space Time Intention method. We all want more time but we aren’t always willing to do what it takes to get it. In order to create more time, you have to create the space to identify how your time is being spent and what boundaries you need to put in place to achieve your goal of having more time.  The thing is, most people struggle with chang...

In the last episode I started to talk to you about a method I’ve coined called Space Time Intention. It’s something I’ve been doing with my clients over the years but never really put it into a term as such. Most of us want more time. We struggle to find time in our days and the years go by with the same struggle of finding time. I see this a lot in my practice. From clients who say they can only...

To make the most of your life, I want to share with you a tool I use in my practice called the Space Time Intention method. Imagine the three words as a triangle, space links to time which links to intention which links to space etc etc The method takes from Ayurveda and Yoga principles too, which makes it all the more interesting - especially for me because I coined the method before I came acros...

My guest today is Momtaz Begum Hossain who is an amazing Colour therapist. Momtaz and I met in my previous life when I was doing the PR for Hawaii and invited her to a press trip of a lifetime! We had the most incredible time on 3 of the Hawaiian islands, eating, drinking, surfing, swimming with manta rays and sea turtles, and visiting some of the most enchanting places on earth. When you share ex...

It's been a long couple of years and sometimes it feels as though we take one step forward, only to take million steps back. Feeling fed up right now is common and completely normal. You are not alone. A helpful way to move from the negative feelings associated with being fed up is to focus on increasing positivity.  In this episode, I'm sharing some tips that can help you change negativ...

We talk about growth a lot in personal development but what does it actually look like in action? Today’s guest is the incredible creative entrepreneur Kalpesh Patel (or KP as he’s so affectionately known) who is the owner of the luxury Asian Wealth Magazine and the soon to be iconic Foundxrs Club.  KP is someone who I instantly connected with. He’s a no muss no fuss kinda guy, full of warmth and...

What is a change-maker? A change-maker is someone who is taking creative action to solve a social problem. A change-maker’s efforts may or may not succeed, but they are motivated by a genuine and heartfelt desire to make the world a better place even if it is on a very personal scale  A change-maker is creative. It takes courage to see and do things differently from the status quo. Change-makers a...

Today I’m having a conversation with Simon Alexander Ong who is an award-winning personal development entrepreneur, coach and public speaker. His clients are from all walks of life but they share one trait; they all believe that the greatest investment you can make is in yourself. I’ve been following Simon’s work for a few years now, initially drawn to him because of his always on point posts that...

I really hope you love the new music - I wanted to change it up as this season as I’m coming with a levelled up vibe! So what’s the new season all about? Well, the last episode gave you a little insight and today I’m going to delve into it a little more. Season 3 is all about creating your own extraordinary life. But what does this mean? How can you build an extraordinary life?  Living an extraord...

I’m back! I know I know, it’s been a hot minute since I released an episode and all I can tell you is that I’ve been spending a lot of that down time working on levelling up for you! Although the pandemic gave us an opportunity to reflect, I don’t feel like I actually got a chance to do it properly until 2022 began. So whilst I’ve been away, I have been working hard on gaining new skills, learning...

I often wonder what goes on inside people’s minds. Then I turn to my human behaviour and human psychology textbooks to get some answers. Sometimes, I’ll ask my coach about it. You see, we all have innate behaviours that shape the way we live our lives.  We start our lives with big dreams (if you were born in the 80’s or 90’s) then you might have dreamt about becoming a cowboy or a scientist, or a...

When we’re young and at school, we have lots of discipline around us. You could say that we have many rules in our lives. But when we’ve finished studying, there’s this period of time where we get to do whatever we want and most of us do. Then we coast through our 20’s doing all these things we want to do but with no real discipline. Enter our 30’s and everything seems just that little bit harder....

Why are people unkind? Where do you think it comes from? Perhaps your life experiences make you unkind? Perhaps what you consume in your life makes you unkind? Why do we have to brag about being kind? There have been two key words in my life this year, one is resilience and the other is kindness. I’ve been building resilience in myself and my clients and I’ve been choosing kindness over anything e...

Do you think people are born with a winning mindset? Some probably are. Many of us actually could have had a winning mindset from day 1 but life happened, our parents happened, our teachers happened and then the big bad world happened and we lost our way.  We went from living with extraordinary visions of our lives to working and paying the bills and buying an endless amount of ‘stuff’ to try and...

Did you know that you can build resilience? It’s not actually something you’re born with so when you think you’re not able to build resilience, I’m afraid, you’re missing out on an opportunity for growth that’s totally within your reach. However, like learning any new skill, you have to be willing to do the work to build resilience. It’s not easy but it’s also not hard, it’s different. Change requ...

So we’re a few weeks away from the end of 2021 and I’d love to know if you’re ready to build your ideal future?. Can you believe that we’ve been in a pandemic for 2 years!? I really hope this life-changing time in your life has been insightful for you and that you’ve used as many opportunities for growth as possible. In the lead up to the new year, I’ve put together a bunch of shows that will help...

Today’s show is a special treat. We’re going to be learning about The importance of wellbeing in leadership with an incredible guest, Richard Twynam. Richard is a Director level leader. He encompasses all the aspects of great leadership effortlessly and this was probably why I was drawn to him when we met in another podcast. I thrive being around great people who choose to do great things. Richard...

If you’ve been into self-development for a while, you’re probably familiar with the way we talk to ourselves but it’s actually incredibly amazing, how much the language we use actually affects us. It’s easy to use common words that seem harmless when we’re working towards something. Take this example: “I have to apply for at least 10 jobs a week” - on the face of it, the line is clear, is action o...

How do you value yourself? Do you value yourself? What does valuing yourself even mean?  I really don't make life easy for myself. I could work with people who want to set up business, want to know about marketing or pr, or sell products. But no, I choose to work with people who want to improve themselves through personal development - this is very difficult! This obviously has a knock on eff...

Who’s life are you living? Ever asked yourself that question? Who’s life are you living?  We coast through life doing all the things that we’re supposed to do like get an education, a career, make the money, get a partner, buy a house, the fabulous holidays, have some kids and then what? Just live to take care of the house and the kids and the partner? What if you’ve been doing all those things bu...

Today’s show is a brilliant one. We’ve all had some sort of battle with our weight and there are sooooo many ways to apparently lose and manage our health goals but what’s the secret to fat loss? It’s the unsexy, highly revered in the medical industry, 5000 year old formula… wait for it… eat less than you move. Literally, eat less than you exert. In this episode, I talk with straight-talking healt...

Unleashing your potential is about doing more with your life than just working, paying the bills, a holiday here and there and then dying. There’s so much more that we can be doing that not only makes us feel great about our lives but also contributes to the lives of others. We tend to think in terms of our bubble only, thinking that we don’t have time or that we’re not good enough to contribute t...
