The Confidence Chronicles

We're giving each other advice that we probably don't even realise is literally some of the worst advice that we can give each other. When you say, "Just be yourself", what does that actually mean? It means staying within the boundaries of who you currently are. Or maybe it freaks you out because you don't really know who you are. You think that you need to act a certain w...

Recently it was the anniversary of my first husband, Jeo's death and I received some messages on Instagram from people that got me thinking about this idea of feeling "sad" when someone has passed away. Today on the podcast, Hamish and I chat about how we celebrate Jeo and why we don't like this "death guilt" mentality. Why is it that for the one day a year that we tr...

I've been getting messages lately from people who are concerned that they've been copping flack for expressing their opinions on social media. Whatever the topic is, it doesn't matter but certainly right now in the time of COVID it's really being highlighted how different our views can be. My love, I need you to understand that's okay. We're not all supposed to agree....

Today I have a very special guest. She is not only a dear friend but is a boss woman with so many skills it is ridiculous, Lina Escamilla. Lina lives in South America and is a business coach with an incredible story of resilience and tapping into her authentic power. We met on a business summit that Lina was hosting and there was an instant connection. Lina pours her heart and soul into everything...

Can you consume too much personal development information? The answer is basically no, but it's more involved than that. The issue is whether you take ACTION on what you're consuming. If you're not taking action on what you're consuming, you're not really doing anything. You're just taking in a bunch of info that you don't do anything with. That's what I&apo...

As you may know, my husband and I used to be in a cult. The guy who ran it was a business coach and we were in his program for two years. It was full on and as much as we learned a lot and it was incredible in hindsight, the values of this man and the narcissistic behaviour were huge red flags that we didn't see at the time. We were allowing his values to take over us and when we finally got...

Y'all it's almost Mother's Day, and I wanted to share with you a really special conversation that I had with my mum at the end of last year. This was just after my father had flown back to Peurto Rico after being in Australia with us for Christmas. I had not seen him in 20 years and I flew him out for the first time ever. My mum had not seen him in 25 years. It was a big fucking dea...

I received a great question via my website for our Q&A today ladies! The question was this: How to not let your own insecurities about your body interfere with your sex life with your partner when they have a better physique than you do. How do you not let your feelings of low self-esteem or low self-worth cock-block you from having the intimate relationship that you want to have? I did a podc...

My friends, I am extremely excited to present my guest for today, Marlee Liss. This has been one of my most favourite episodes I've done as an interview so far. I cried many times and I feel the message that Marlee has to share is such an important one. Marlee has an absolutely extraordinary story. She was sexually assaulted when she was 21 years old and the court proceedings that followed ac...

During this weird ass time I've been getting a lot of questions from y'all about how to stop yourself from feeling all the anxious thoughts due to all the uncertainty. The answer is fairly simple, don't go future. All you need to do right now is to stay here and acknowledge that in this moment, you have everything you need. Look at how many of your thoughts are in a future that hasn...

My love, you don't need to hold everything together all the time. You're telling yourself that you need to hold it together for your partner, your kids, your work, your health but there's nothing healthy about "holding it together". You need to let some of the pressure out or you're going to explode like a fucking shaken up champagne bottle. If you don't relieve...

After so many episodes of the Confidence Chronicles podcast, I've realised that I've barely spoken about death and the grieving process. As you may know, my husband Jeo died in 2007 and I had never had anyone close to me die before. I had no idea how to handle it, process it and work through it at the time so I suppressed the emotions. It wasn't until I discovered the work of Byron...

If you're looking to start your business right now, or maybe you've been at it for awhile and you're not gaining the traction that you think you should be, this podcast episode is for you.

Look, I know you're sick of hearing about COVID19 and I know you're probably getting a million emails from businesses talking about it too. I don't want to add to it and I know we all just want to get on with our lives, but the fact of the matter is right now things are different. Life is different and how are you handling it? Like really, deep down, how are you handling your curren...

My love, listen up. Stop this ridiculous thought that if you're a mother, you can't also have a thriving business. I get questions all the time from women asking how I run my business and also have two kids. You know what, it doesn't have to be that difficult. You're making it difficult by thinking that you need to be everything to everybody. As much as I'm telling you her...

I'd like you to take a look at how you respond when you're under pressure. Do you try to hide from the issue, do you try and run away from it and pretend it doesn't exist, or maybe your adrenals kick in and you try to fight your way through it. Hamish is joining me on the podcast today to help talk us through this "fight or flight" response that we're all currently ex...
