No more regrets - here's Your Next Chapter
Maybe you worked hard, maybe your kids are amazing, and possibly a pain sometimes. And maybe even you look at the people around you and think that your relationship isn't that bad, actually.
Things could be a lot worse.

Navigating Friendship Boundaries
I think most of us have probably at least one friend within our circle who needs possibly more support than we can give, and in these wild times when so many of us are overstretched, it's important to try and work out how you can set boundaries that both protect your energy and protect the relationship.

Shame and the rise of the far r*ght
I want to talk about shame and the far right.
I want to talk about why you making the commitment to learning how to manage your emotions is gonna be essential over the next few years, as we are in such a political turbulent time.
I think quite often self-care gets a bad rep as a bit of sort of navel-gazing indulgence for folk who have the time and money to be able to stare at themselves in the mirror and tell themselves that they love themselves 1,000 times.

Why Your Brain Repeats Old Stories and How to Change the Pattern
There is a wild trick that our brain plays on us, and that is to convince us that when we loop in old thought patterns and we tell ourselves the same old story day in, day out, even when we know better that, it's some personal fault.

The Power of Thoughts: How Your Mind Creates Happiness
when life throws the Lifey stuff at us, that we have tools that are useful for us to be able to recognise what's going on, process it and deal with it in a way that enables us to flow through it rather than to repeat our patterns that might not have served us in the past.

Escaping the Perfectionist’s Trap: Why Waiting for the Perfect Moment Holds You Back
don't think that a lot of people realise that this is perfectionism. I think that quite a lot of people think that perfectionism is getting everything right all of the time. And I think that perfectionism is kind of the opposite.
Perfectionism in a way is a cute little shop front for procrastination.

Scary Scarcity: Money, Time, and the Stories We Tell Ourselves
I've noticed on coaching calls is that often people's relationship with money, is the same as their relationship with time.
If these things are things that you struggle with in either areas of your life, this week's episode's gonna be one for you.
Quite often when I speak to people, we are talking about scarcity. There is one particular theme that they look at and it is normally time or money.
And I have noticed a theme that comes up repeatedly in many of the coachin

The Grief of Productivity
But there is a really simple three-step plan that I think really will support you no matter what level or level of investment your goal will take.
And firstly, the first point is to work out why you're trying to do it. Do you want to do it because you're trying to feel something different? Do you want to do it because you're trying to get away from a feeling that you're having at the moment? Working out the emotion that you anticipate you will be able to feel when the goa

Mate, you're not a burden: Transforming the Idea of Being Too Much
"I don't wanna be a burden".
This is something that often comes up in social situations when you've got something going on for you, and you also know that lots of other people and people that you care about are also going through stuff. You'd probably quite like to share what's going on for you, or maybe just talk things through with a friend, but actually you think that you don't have the right to occupy that space.

But I don't want to go to the party
Quite often one of the reasons why we end up doing absolutely everything is 'cause we want everything to be all right. We want everyone to feel fine and we don't want to cause any problems.
The problem with using that as your logic is that you've completely forgotten that you are also a person and it's not fine for you, and you're not checking in with yourself or including your needs into the picture.

Stop Shoulding All Over Yourself
Should, is never a truth. Should is never a fact. Should is never. A circumstance should is always showing you where you have stories that you're telling yourself about what you should be doing and what you feel obliged to do.
This week I would like to talk to you about just checking in with yourself where you have choices.

Shrinking Yourself or Expanding Your Heart: The Dangers of Staying Nostalgic
Just because something in the past has been the best that you've ever had, that doesn't necessarily mean it's the best you're ever gonna get.
And. I think most of our brains are wired to think that we can get very nostalgic and reminiscing about the best thing.
