Women's Empowerment Podcast

Have you ever felt like you didn’t belong in a room… even though everyone else seemed fine? Maybe nothing is wrong with you. Maybe you’re just standing in the wrong soil. In this episode, I share the metaphor that changed everything for me: When my roots are nourished, my tree thrives. When I live in alignment with my values, my ecosystem is healthy. 🌳 This one is for anyone who’s tired of earnin...

Sometimes we contain our feelings to keep the peace — not because we don’t care, but because we care so much we don’t want to break anything. But what’s meant to be shared doesn’t heal by staying inside forever.

Coming Full Circle with Vulnerability .. The Bridgerton Way Many of us live our lives in fear of really being seen and heard for who we are. We don’t feel good enough or bright enough, or thin enough, or educated enough or whatever enough. We will do anything to fit in. This can be at work, with friends and even with our family of origin. However, to “fit” in requires us to change or to hide a par...

In the first paragraph of his book The motivation manifesto Brendon Burchard asks a question - why having being endowed with the courageous heart of a lion do we live as mice? This is a very profound question to ask. One of the ways we can lean into this question and find out why we may be living like a mouse as opposed to like a lion is to find out which dial our mindset is set on is it set on a...

As humans, we all strive for, a sense of belonging, a sense of belief in ourselves and others, a feeling of security and safety, and connection with others. When these needs are met we will then be able to develop personal skills like boundary building, becoming assertive, and be able to be emotionally aware, and not let stress overtake us. With these building blocks, we can then thrive in our lea...

Our comfort zone is our safe place. It’s fuelled by the things we do automatically that feel safe to us. If you have ever tried to do something outside of your comfort zone you might know that feeling you get when you think to yourself “ok that’s me done, I need to stop here, it isn’t feeling good or safe anymore”. Sometimes though we don’t hear the self-talk, we just know unconsciously stop ourse...

On this episode of the podcast we are talking about beauty and the fact that ,,,, and I will quote our guest today Sharon D Founder of Irelands Got Curves who says Beauty isn't a size and size doesn't define you. Sharon you are welcome to the podcast. I want to talk to you about this topic of what defines us and how we can let that get a little ashew.

Nicola is a passionate advocate for empowering women to take proactive steps to optimise their physical and mental health during this stage of our lives. The more clarity we have the more we will be able to be actively involved in our own healthcare decisions armed with the correct information. A very informative chat with Nicola whose background is in nursing, education and mental health.

The tale of the Little Mermaid is a typical heroine’s quest. Although Ariel, the Little Mermaid seems to have it all, she comes from a beautiful place, has the love of her father and sisters and grandmother she yearns for something more. Something outside of what she has. She is blessed with many things in her life; she has the most beautiful voice in her kingdom, she is the most beautiful dancer...

In this episode of the podcast, I discuss living in alignment with our core values with Business Owner and Coach Gill Caroll. Gill takes us on a journey of exploration around tuning into our values via our feelings. When we show up in our life coming from a place of being aligned with what brings us contentment and joy we will be more in flow with our life.

Our belief system defines how we see the world and gives us the ability to process what happens around us. If we didn’t have a belief system, we wouldn’t know how to process our reactions to all the things that happen to us on a daily basis. Our belief system is like the cookies in our browser enabling us to sort through things faster and based on our past behaviours. Our beliefs start to form fro...

I speak with Mel Murphy, Separation and Divorce Coach about the importance of support during these stressful times. Mel gives us some practical advice and NLP techniques for managing our lives during these times.

On this episode I speak with Kerri Hummingbird, No. 1 Best Selling Author of "The Second Wave: Transcending the Human Drama" and the award-winning best-selling book "Awakening To Me: One Woman’s Journey To Self Love." I speak with Kerri about the mother's wound and how it affects us on so many levels. Oftentimes it is when parenting our own children that our mother wounds get triggered and come up...

One definition of the saying “you can’t fit a square peg into a round hole” says that it describes the unusual individualist who could not fit into a niche of their society. Now here my friends in my opinion is where the problem lies. It is the use of the word “unusual” which when we are talking about a person could be better described as “unique” individual. At the end of the day we are all uniqu...

A journey to living a fulfilled life happens when you honour your own values and you live by them. When you are incongruent with your values you may be living someone else’s life and you may form bad habits or become lost in trying to find yourself. Understanding what you value is less about looking outside and wondering what you should value, or what society says you should value, looking at what...

The definition of resolution is the act of solving a conflict. However, we often focus on what we cannot change and stick to that story. In this podcast, I look at some common themes or conflicts that keep you stuck in a rut or feeling overwhelmed and give you ways of looking at the conflict differently.

Instead of finding a way to quieten or banish the inner critic I want to show you four ways to embrace it. Why? Because your inner critic is a part of you. It’s the part of you that developed beliefs from your perceptions of your life’s challenges. And although challenges cause tension, without tension there is no growth. Your inner critic points you to your soul growth, to your inner north star,...

I want to share something tangible with you now, something that you can do in the present moment that will bring you from where you are now, to where you want to be. This step is vital. It takes courage to visit something that may be painful for you, and you may struggle with admitting your vulnerabilities even to yourself. It is not a blaming or shaming yourself exercise. What it is, is an exerci...

There are times when not taking it personally is the best advice we can take. But there are also times when it's essential to see what is being triggered in you that is causing you to take something personally in the first place. If you neglect to take this step, then what is being triggered is being kept in the shadow, so to speak, you are brushing it under the carpet. But things that are kept in...

I was asked a question by another coach recently about my opinion around whether we are controlled by fate, destiny or other external events as opposed to feeling like our own behaviours or actions determine our results. It got me thinking and I decided to share my views on the topic here at my podcast. I believe in both. I think there are definitely things in our life that are destined for us, an...

The main protagonist in my yet unpublished novel is an example of how we can become empowered by healing the wounded and dissociated parts of ourselves. It’s also a good insight into how we can be leading our life feeling like we have it all under control until we realise we are in fact the one that is being controlled and have no control at al. Something happens that rocks our life and the very f...

At times, our perception of an event may be totally untrue, but our mind distorts the truth to match our beliefs. It is only when we have an AHA moment or a moment of revelation that we realise the real truth, the truth that has been hidden from our consciousness For example you may attend a conference and hear something and have one of these AHA or revelation moments. This is when you see somethi...

Gaslighting is another form of bullying and the gaslighter is likely trying to get one up on you from their own warped sense of their story. It can of course make you feel like you are losing your marbles and your self-worth will take a bashing and that is ultimately what the gaslighter wants, you to be perceived as weaker than them and to be weaker than them. You will see the pattern of power ove...

When you unravel the unconscious patterns that weave through all the stories you tell yourself you begin to see the circumstances you find yourself from a different perspective. And, of course we all have these stories, its part of our life to realise them and to have the opportunity to make better stories. This may require you to be confident enough to grow your courage muscle, to release shame a...

In order for us to effect change and to create a secure foundation, it’s crucial for us to go through the process of accepting the stories that we hold. We need to acknowledge them, we need to be present to them, we need to mourn them and the loss that we feel around them. Ultimately for true healing we want to go forward with a different story around our foundational issues of trust, around safet...
