The Maisie Hill Experience

Have you ever found yourself thinking you need to wait until things calm down before you can ask for help? Whether it's a big life change, a new job, or an intense project, we often convince ourselves that we're not deserving of support until we've made it through the storm. I noticed this theme pop up during my recent membership launch, and it completely shifted how I think about receiving suppor...

What if you could believe in yourself, not just on the sunny days, but also when life feels uncertain? In today's episode, we're diving into the power of self-belief and how to cultivate it, no matter what's happening around you. It's easy to feel confident when everything is going well, but what happens when the tide turns? Can you maintain belief in yourself during the stormy times?   Self-belie...

What if the key to creating the life you desire is simply learning how to want it? In today's episode, I'm diving into the practise of wanting, which may seem simple but can be a game-changer in your journey towards the life you truly want. Too often, we rush from identifying our desires straight to taking action.    By embracing the practise of wanting and allowing yourself to sit with your desir...

What if perfectionism is the very thing stopping you from making progress? Perfectionism is one of the biggest things that can keep you from moving forward, even when you're doing your best.

But what if trying to be perfect is actually holding you back?   In this episode, I'll...

What if striving for calm is actually holding you back? In today's episode, I'm diving into why the pursuit of calm might not be the goal you think it is.

But what if it's setting you up to fail?   In this episode, I'm going to challenge the idea of calm as the ultimate goal. Instead, I'...

What if your quest for self-improvement is actually a form of self-rejection? In today's episode, I explore how perfectionism, shame, and hustle culture can sneak into your personal growth journey.    I break down how self-improvement can become a weapon used against yourself, from confusing productivity with self-worth to using self-awareness as evidence that you're still not doing enough. These...

What could your life look like in a year if you chose to live by design instead of by default? In this episode, I invite you to reflect on how your choices today shape the person you'll become. It's not about setting goals or resolutions, but about stepping into a version of yourself that feels almost unrecognisable — in the best way.   Living by design requires intentional choices, commitment, an...

Are you counting yourself out even before someone else does? The systems we live in frequently work to limit our potential, but too often we do their work for them by counting ourselves out before anyone else has the chance.    I explore the ways we pre-reject ourselves, both in obvious ways like not applying for opportunities, and in sneakier forms that masquerade as being practical or realistic....

Ready to go behind the scenes of the biggest business decisions I've made over the last five years? In this deeply personal episode, I share why I haven't opened the membership doors for almost 18 months and how I completely rebuilt everything from the ground up to serve at a whole new level.   This journey involved significant internal work and transformation as I pulled apart every aspect of the...

Do you ever find yourself holding back when you invest in training because you're worried about wasting time or money? That fear can quietly limit how much you get from any experience.

Do you feel like you're doing all the right things to improve your life, but the changes just don't seem to stick?

T...

Have you ever felt the urge to walk away when things get challenging? Last week, I explored the power of leaving. This week, I'm examining the flip side – the profound power that comes from choosing to stay. Not staying stuck or silent, but staying with yourself, with discomfort, with truth, and with the things and people you've chosen.   The decision to stay isn't automatically noble, just as lea...

Have you ever noticed how we celebrate beginnings but whisper about endings? I've been thinking about this a lot lately—how the most transformative moments in my life didn't start with arrivals but with exits. The courage to walk away from something that no longer fits can be the most powerful decision you ever make.   In this episode, you'll hear why staying in something you've outgrown is a slow...

Have you ever made a brilliant plan, felt completely aligned with it, and then... just ghosted on it? We've all been there. That moment when our initial enthusiasm fades and we find ourselves making excuses, avoiding the work, or conveniently "forgetting" about our commitments.   What if I told you that in these moments, you're actually selling yourself on something - either why the plan is worth...

Have you ever wondered why you keep repeating the same patterns despite your best intentions to change? The answer isn't that you're lazy or lack discipline—you have a self-concept problem.   In this episode, I'm diving deep into why your self-concept matters so much and how to intentionally update it.

In this episode, I'm diving into the power of being in the right room. Environments that ask more of you, challenge how you think, and push you to make moves you'd otherwise hesitate on. Rooms where you're surrounded by people who are doing the things you want to be doing.   The fastest way to stretch your thinking, challenge your assumptions, and actually move is to be around people who already t...

I'm breaking down the three crucial phases that lead to success: preparation, jumping, and riding away. As you listen, assess where you tend to struggle in this process.

In today's episode, I'm here to show you how to turn discomfort into a powerful resource.   I'm sharing my personal story of how I lost my confidence, how I managed to rebuild it, and the valuable lessons I learned al...

As the seasons change, it's not just the external environment that shifts - our internal world goes through a transition too. In Chinese medicine, spring is associated with the wood element and the emotion of anger. When our wood qi is blocked or stagnant, we can feel stuck, frustrated, and prone to outbursts. But what if we learned to see anger in a new light - as a force for positive change and...
