The Triple C Project

Do you know those days that really set you off? Where you're just done.  Maybe it's a day where 💩show of a deal just lands on your desk, and you're in charge of figuring it out.  Or maybe a colleague requests your urgent assistance with something and not only does this fucks up your evening or your weekend, but you also discover the matter had been sent in their inbox for days! May...

What if you treated life differently?  What if you treated your life like a game? Or a fun art project?  What if you looked at yourself as a kid playing in a massive sandpit with a 💩 tonne of toys, you can build and create anything with?  This week's episode is here to get you thinking about that.  And to get you to stop letting the seriousness of 'shoulds'  hold you back from expe...

It's A New Year; It's A New Dawn; It's A New Life. (sung in the voice of the legendary Nina Simone 🎶🎤) OK, I'll concede that a new year happens once a year (Duh!).  But technically a new dawn happens every day. And a new life is there for the taking every second of every day—no need to wait for a new year. So much pressure is placed on starting anew when a new year comes arou...

We're always quick to focus on the negative; when things go wrong, we carry that heavy feeling of defeat, and it becomes our prevailing narrative, the story of our lives. But how often do you focus on the positives? On what went right? On where you won big? Where you smashed it out of the park? If you're anything like I was, not a lot.  But here's the thing, the more frequently to r...

Are you scared of making mistakes? You're not alone. I hear this all the time. You've spent your life ticking all the boxes, getting everything right, and the thought of getting something wrong brings you out in a cold sweat.  That's why you keep doing the same thing, staying in the same place even though you know you're not where you want to be. But what if you looked at it di...

We all want to be comfortable.  That's the human way.  And I'm here for that! Rest, relaxation, and pleasure are all necessary parts of the human experience. But if you're seeking comfort to escape feeling your feelings, maybe there's a problem. You're falling beyond the realm of comfortable towards being comfortably numb, the state where you do whatever you need to do to...

I'll be happy when... I'll live lit when... My life will be awesome when... How often have you said something like this to yourself?  Or working towards achieving a big goal in the hope that it would solve all your problems and make you happy? Then you've got the thing, reached the destination., and achieved the goal. But you don't feel the way you thought you would. Maybe you...

This week I talk about money.  We're not supposed to talk about money. Some say it's vulgar to do so.  Certain employers are known to have clauses in employment contracts that prevent you from discussing money. And we wonder why pay disparity still prevails. The great thing about having a podcast is that I don't have to follow conventions. I can and do, say what the fuck I like.  It...

You know certain things make you feel good and serve your mission.  Whether its: Working out; Eating right; or Sufficient sleep We all know that if we do these things consistently, we'll feel better and live better. But they need to become habits. Otherwise, you'll be like those new year people in the gym who hit it hard for two weeks and then fall off. In this week's episode, I tal...

Inspiration can lead to imitation if you're not careful.  We've all been there, unhappy with where we are, looking ahead at where we want to be, and inspired by someone who's done what we want to do.  But when that inspiration stops simply fuelling our desire, and instead, we start wishing for and imitating that person's life, that's a problem. We're not them. And we...

Do the same, get the same. It's a simple phrase  I always like to remind myself of because it's a phrase I wish I had understood properly and implemented back when I struggled with limiting beliefs and lethargy in my BigLaw days. Albert Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results. And that's effectively what t...

We have more distractions than at any other time in history. And the biggest distraction for most of us is the little pocket computer we carry around with us everywhere we go (even the toilet, so I've heard). When that phone pings or vibrates, the urge to check what that notification relates to is a string. And even when it's simply sat there, not moving, not making a sound, the urge to...

Personal growth and development can be overwhelming. You read the books and watch the videos, but how often do you implement the tools, concepts and strategies that inspire you? If you're like I was, hardly ever. Because it all seems too hard! There's too much to do. So you fall back into old habits like a pair of comfortable shoes. I don't want this for you. Change is hard, but it...

How would you feel if I called you a quitter? Would it anger you? Upset you? Would you want to argue with me and punch me in the face? Quitting, being seen to quit, can bring up feelings of hurt, shame and embarrassment. Why? Because we're often told that quitting is bad, and quit is treated as if it's a dirty word. The prevailing narrative is that you keep pushing forward no matter what...

Not everybody wants to see you shine. So what do you do when your old people don't support the new you? This episode is inspired by a conversation I had at an event recently. And it's something I've experienced ever since I walked away from BigLaw and started on a new path. It took me time to work through my feelings, hurt, anger frustration, and in this week's episode, I'...

This week I talk about fear. Fear plays a significant part in any conversation about why someone has not moved forward towards their dreams. Fear of failure Fear of embarrassment Fear of judgment and other people's opinions. But is fear really the problem? In this episode, I talk about what fear is and whether what you think is fear is actually fear. Stick around to the end, where I share my...

Overwhelm. That's the subject of this week's show. Or, more specifically, what you can do to cut through the overwhelm and keep it moving. Now, I don't know about you. But when I was in BigLaw, I'd often get into the office just feeling like I didn't know where to start. There was so much going on, so many competing demands coming at me from different quarters. And the thi...

Are you an all-or-nothing type of person?  Go hard or go home? That can be great in short bursts and help you push forward, like the turbo boost in a race car. But the thing about an all-or-nothing approach is that over time, it ends up with you doing nothing. Why? Because maintaining that same level of intensity day in and day out over a long period isn't sustainable. So by focusing on maint...

Growth and transformation are not linear. I recently got a new tattoo representing a caterpillar's change to a butterfly. The tat reminded me of the transformation I've made since leaving BigLaw. But just as a caterpillar can't become a butterfly without going through the messy chrysalis stage, I couldn't make the transformation in my life without going through a similar stage,...

How often do you tell yourself that you don't have a choice about something? I used to do it all the time, especially when thinking about leaving BigLaw. I'd say things like: 🚫 I don;t have a choice 🚫 I can't leave 🚫 I'm just stuck here for the rest of my career. 🚫 I've made my bed, and now I have to keep lying in it. Have you ever said these things to yourself? Well,...

In this week's episode, I talk about a conversation with a friend. We were having a conversation and talking about what I've been doing in terms of coaching, the content I've been sharing., and that I'm looking to do more speaking events. And they said I wouldn't want you speaking in my organisation . I laughed! They meant it in the nicest possible way. And it was a little...

Let’s talk about balance. Balance is something that comes up a lot when you're working in a high-pressure, high-stress, corporate job. Work-life balance (or the lack of) is often discussed, but have you considered balance more generally? In this episode, I share ⚡️what balance means to me; ⚡️why balance is important; and ⚡️why balance is an ongoing journey, not a destination. It all starts...

So, I f**kd up a little here. If you've been religiously listening to the show or are a recent binge listener, you'll recognise that I've talked about this subject before! I only realised that after recording the episode! I debated whether I should delete this. But here's the thing, I don't have a perfect marketing strategy for the show. I know what I want to share, but I...

Are you self-sabotaging? Are you talking yourself out of doing what you want before you've even started? Are you allowing the thoughts, opinions and agendas of others to influence what you do instead of trusting and believing in yourself? Well, now's the time to stop! And in this episode, I tell you how. It will require some unlearning, but it will be worth it! __________________________...

How do you react in times of stress and discomfort? Do you have tools and strategies that support you, or do you default to longstanding habits that don't serve you? Recently  I was accused of something that wasn't true. And even though it was easy for me to prove it wasn’t true, the experience left me shook! Fortunately, I had tried and true tools to get me through it, tools I've p...
