159 - 7 lessons from creating a podcast (aka sticking with something!) 17.04.2023

Sticking with something that requires courage, discipline and dedication can be T-R-I-C-K-Y. ESPECIALLY when that same thing involves you EVOLVING in public, learning as you go and presenting your authenticity to the world in the face of being judged, criticised or "failing". I recorded today's episode live to celebrate the Inner Work Conversation reaching 25,000 downloads and althou...

155 - Are you "protecting" yourself to keep yourself "safe"? It's time to EVOLVE. 03.04.2023

Because is it REALLY protection anyway? Are you REALLY keeping yourself safe? This episode pulls all of that into question and shines a light on what COULD be going on instead.

Where in life and business am I treading on egg shells in order to avoid judgement or criticism? What does the tru...

152 - When results aren't happening (quickly enough) 26.03.2023

It's likely you'll spiral, you'll abandon what you wanted in the first place and possibly yourSELF.

151 - You're not normal, and that's PERFECT. Stop making yourself wrong for the way you are! 23.03.2023

"Normal" is a myth. You are how you are FOR A REASON. You like to do things the way you do because it's NATURAL to you. In this episode I'm diving into: How we make ourselves 'wrong' or 'weird' for not being "normal" (SPOILER - there is no such thing) The (really f*cking bad) negative implications in business of not owning our natural ways of being Tips...

150 - Hear me work (replay of a LIVE session) 20.03.2023

I know how it can feel when you're making investments into your own personal development. I know the questions that come up: Will it be worth it? Will I be able to get a return on my own investment? Is this even the right person to help facilitate my development? ...so, since my coaching programme EVOLVE is right round the corner (doors close 17th April '23) I thought it might be handy to...

149 - The truth about being needy & demanding 19.03.2023

Developing a relationship with yourself where you make it safe for you to want what you want, need what you need takes UNlearning. In this episode I'm going into: Why do we struggle to express our needs?  What does that look like? What are the impacts? How can we start to own and express our needs?

148 - Having your sh*t together in business when life is hard 15.03.2023

Business is already hard ...so when life is a bit of a sh*t show, it can feel like it's taking every ounce of energy to "have your sh*t together"... ...in this episode I recorded LIVE, I'm unpacking that.   LINKS: www.tlb.org.uk/evolve - 8 spaces, begins mid-April '23 Link to the Thrive First Method HERE: www/tlb.org.uk/tfmcheckout Link to work with me 1:1 HERE: www.tlb.org.uk/1-1-coaching --- Sen...

147 - Want to thrive? Focus on the simple things... 14.03.2023

Today's IG live / episode came from Meg Hewitt tagging me with a reminder of her episode (96 - linked HERE ) where we talked all about thriving in life and in business.  Because in truth... ...it's not always easy.  Never mind the ongoing to-do list and mounds of obligations ... you've then got every influencer under the sun promoting the 'right way' to thrive and in truth - only YOU know what thr...

145 - Who is on your (inner) team? 09.03.2023

It's easy to follow the sh*tty thoughts down the garden path and into the woods (ask me how I know).  But in THIS episode I'm asking you to consult your team.  The team that have got your back, that have got your best interests at heart - them.   This episode is here to help you BUILD that team.

144 - Stop seeking permission! It's ok to be ok (you read that right) 06.03.2023

When we are conditioned to always look OUTSIDE of ourselves for the answers, for confidence in ourselves, for the permission to 'GO'...it can be unnerving to  UNlearn this and start trusting yourSELF.  Giving yourSELF permission, validation, ok-ness.  It's OK to be OK. It's ok to source your OKness from within.   ...And that's exactly what this episode is about.   Links: Link to the Thrive First M...

143 - Keep 'falling off the wagon'? This one's for you 02.03.2023

142 - What if it took less time, but more... 27.02.2023

Look, my BS radar is finely tuned.  As is my support function.  So I KNOW when you say " I WOULD do that, but I just need more time..THEN I'll do it " that actually you probably DON'T need more time, but you probably DO need:  More inner support More focus More celebration & self acknowledgement  In this episode, I'm sharing HOW.   Links: An overview of my services: www.instagram.com/p/Cockq4Q...
