The Eleshia Show

“You need to be here for yourself. It's not just all about the hustle and the flow and running from this place to another.” - Eleshia Harris When I launched The Eleshia Show podcast, I knew I could make a real difference in your life. I knew that breaking through the hustle, chaos and overwhelm, getting clear on what you REALLY want from your life and prioritising yourself was key to feeling...

Are you living in your best body? Do you feel confident, vibrant, and enthusiastic about life because you’ve been nourishing your body and mind and prioritising self-care? Or do you feel tired, sluggish or even overweight? Lacking in motivation or focus? Perhaps you even avoid looking at yourself in the mirror because you know that you’re not going to be 100% happy with the person looking back at...

If I asked you what your perfect year would look like, what would you say? Would you tell me that you dream of turning your side hustle into a highly profitable full-time income? Or launching that ambitious and exciting dream project that you still haven’t found the time to implement yet?  Perhaps you’re sick of feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and pulled in a million different directions and want t...

Do you ever feel too drained at the end of your day to take care of yourself and enjoy the life that you just worked to be able to afford?  You simply have no energy left to go out and socialise with your friends, go to that yoga class, or do anything else for yourself. Besides, there’s so much to do when you’re a female entrepreneur!  You have goals to achieve, opportunities to chase, and all tho...

Have you ever noticed how, when life feels hectic and stressful, something always seems to happen to make matters worse?  You were doing so well, taking care of yourself by eating well, trying to get enough sleep and taking some downtime.  And you DID feel like you were managing all the madness happening.  But then, out of the blue, you get sick.  Perhaps you get such a stinking cold that you can...

When you’ve had a long, hard day juggling all the demands and responsibilities of your life, what do you do to relax? Do you collapse onto the sofa, breathe a huge sigh of relief and pour yourself a ‘well-deserved’ glass of wine? Or perhaps one glass turns into several and before you know it, you’ve drained the bottle completely.  Maybe you’re just the type of person who loves to enjoy a drink or...

If you’re feeling like life is hard and achieving your goals is so far away, that’s 100% okay.  We’re often pulled in soo many different directions and forced to deal with so many challenges that can leave us doubting our inner power and ability to achieve our dreams.  We just don’t give ourselves enough credit for everything we’ve been doing on this beautiful journey we’re on.  Now, I’m not only...

“We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own ‘to do’ list. ”- Michelle Obama Do you have kids? If so, you’ll have experienced the pure love and joy you feel when you meet your baby for the first time and then watch them grow. But there’s another side to having kids that we often don’t discuss. It’s our sense of self.  As this week’s podcast guest, host of The Untraditional Po...

Have you ever paused to consider whether all those tiny (and not so tiny) tasks that you spend your entire day doing are actually what you WANT? Whether you feel pumped about your life or just forcing yourself to get it all done because that’s what you’re supposed to be doing?  According to this week’s podcast guest and certified coach with a background in Positive Psychology, Jaime Mann, we'...

Did you know that around 1 in 5 pregnancies ends in miscarriage?  That equates to around a quarter of a million losses every year in the UK and even more in the US.  Yet despite how common it is, many women don’t share their experiences or the grief, trauma, and heartbreak they have experienced.  We often feel that we’ve failed or that we’ve somehow caused the pregnancy loss or haven’t yet announc...

When it comes to starting and growing your own business as a female entrepreneur, you know that you’re going to face challenges.  After all, following your dreams and passions takes a lot of bravery and hard work, especially in a male-dominated world.  Then not only do you face the usual challenges like perfecting your vision, getting clear on your offering, putting all those pieces of the marketi...

Have you ever dreamed of starting your own podcast? Or growing your podcast so that it can help you connect with your audience, add even more value, build community and grow your business? If so, you’re certainly not the only one. Podcasting remains one of the most powerful ways you can market your business, attract and nurture leads and make a real difference to those you serve.  This is exactly...

Being a female entrepreneur and growing your business can often feel like a very solo journey.  After all, it’s YOU who has the dream, YOU with the passion and vision to bring your wisdom and skills to the world and help transform lives.  And despite any valuable help or support you might have from your partner, family, or friends, it’s ultimately YOU who needs to juggle all your responsibilities,...

We’ve all been there. We’ve all found ourselves being pulled in all directions and placed under incredible amounts of pressure from work, our personal lives, financial problems, grief and so on.  If you’re anything like Mairi and I used to be, you probably tell yourself to stop being so weak, pull yourself together and push on through.  Those so-called empowering messages we often see online and t...

Imagine that you’ve just faced a situation that has left you emotionally charged.  You’re feeling sad, angry, frustrated, jealous or rejected and feel completely overwhelmed with it all.  Perhaps you’ve just received terrible or challenging news. Faced backstabbing or gossip at work or between friends. Lost a parent or loved one. Had a fight with your partner. Or even lost out on that incredible b...

Are you feeling stressed, drained or even overwhelmed by everything that is happening in the world right now?  I know I’ve certainly been feeling the pressure.  Then when we’re in this space and try to gain clarity, plan ahead or set goals, we feel like we’re fighting a losing battle. Because what’s the point of even trying when we have no clue what lies around the corner?  But here’s the truth… Y...

If you want to achieve real success in your business, grow beyond your wildest dreams and boost that bank balance, you’ll need to have a clear vision.  Once you have that vision you can bring it to life by believing in yourself, outlining your strategy then putting in the work.  As you’ve no doubt discovered already, it’s not always easy.  You’ll face multiple challenges, self-doubt is likely to p...

Do you ever feel that you’re stuck in a rut when it comes to your clothing? You wish you could be as stylish and ‘pulled together’ as some of the other female entrepreneurs you see.  You find yourself living in leggings and jeans, wearing the same old dull colours or struggling to find anything that you feel confident in.  Even if you do try something new, nothing seems to fit you properly or enha...

Do you ever get sick of the way you get treated? You feel hurt or violated by the way you’ve been treated, overwhelmed by the multiple pressures on your shoulders, or feel like you’re expected to say ‘yes’ to everything.  If you’re nodding your head, it’s time to redefine your personal boundaries.  Boundaries empower us and keep us safe. They ensure that people treat you the way you want to be tre...

We all love music, don’t we?  I only have to put on my favourite tunes, crank up the volume and sing and dance if I want to feel amazing.  Or listen to my late mum’s favourite songs if I want to remind myself of her love for all those years and feel grateful.  Or pop on those songs from the playlist I created for my birth experience if I want to go right back to that emotional, incredible time whe...

Do you ever feel like, as a woman, the world has control over you and not the other way around?  Perhaps you’ve been a victim of sexual trauma. You’ve experienced difficult or painful gynaecological examinations from people who don’t seem to ‘get it’. Or, like me, you’ve encountered unsympathetic and even rude medical practitioners as you struggle with your fertility, suffer from a miscarriage, or...

Do you ever take the time to reflect on just how incredible you are and how far you’ve come?  It’s all too easy to forget that once, your business was nothing more than a spark of inspiration, an idea, a dream that you hadn’t yet breathed life into. Whether your intuition told you that you could do it or you were overwhelmed by fear and self-doubt, you still stood up and started moving forwards. I...

“It is so liberating to really know what I want, what truly makes me happy, what I will not tolerate. I have learned that it is no one else's job to take care of me but me." Beyonce Knowles When we know what makes us happy, we can move forward with our personal goals and ambitions and start living a rich and fulfilling life. But all too often, our circumstances get in the way.  We find o...

Getting pregnant and having a baby is much harder than we all think.  According to the UK National Health Service (NHS) website, about 84% of couples will conceive naturally within a year if they have regular unprotected sex.  This means having intercourse every two or three days for couples who have been trying to conceive for three or more years without success. Or put another way, the likelihoo...

When we are kids, we tend to believe that we’re invincible, especially if we had a relatively happy childhood.  We think that nothing bad will ever happen to us, that life is one big adventure and that those who we love will always be there for us.  But unfortunately, life doesn’t work that way.  I enjoyed a wonderful childhood, spoilt by the love of a beautiful woman who sacrificed so much to be...
