  • Episode 1: 9 Habits that are Killing your Self-confidence (and how to change them)
    Jul 15 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    Self-confidence can make or break your life. It’s what’s needed if you want to go after your dream job, start your own business, begin or end a relationship or step out of your comfort zone in any area of your life.

    Without self-confidence, your life will stagnate and the longer you’re stuck in a stagnant rut, the harder it is to get going again.

    Thankfully, self-confidence is like a muscle; flex it often enough and it’ll get strong enough to carry you into the life I know you really want to create.

    Your habits have contributed to the life you're currently living, if you want something more, but you’re not feeling confident enough to go after it, this episode is for you.

    I share 9 habits, you may not even be aware you're doing, that will kill your confidence faster than a galloping race horse.

    Jul 6 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    Are you always putting everyone else’s needs before yours?

    Do you often say “yes” when you’d prefer to say “no”?

    In this episode I explore why boundaries are so important for your wellbeing and I share how to effectively set boundaries without coming across as rude. I also tackle the age old problem of the guilty feeling that arises when you set a boundary for the first time.

    If you’re a people pleaser and you’re overwhelmed thanks to always prioritising other people first and consequentially you’re fed up and frustrated, this episode is for you.

    Episode highlights:

    • The common link between energy management, self-respect and Improved relationships
    • 5 tools to help you effectively set boundaries
    • Why understanding your own needs is the first step to boundary setting
    • How to avoid unnecessary conflict in personal relationships
    • Building your “no” muscle without upsetting people
    • The key to ensuring your boundaries are upheld and respected
    • Navigating guilt and resentment
    • The link between health and negative emotions
    • Two powerful questions to ask yourself this week
    • Gabor Mate “When the Body Says No” book recommendation

    2023 was my year of boundary setting so I know just how challenging it can be to start asserting your needs and saying “no” when the folks around you are used to you being a “yes” person.

    I’d love to hear how you get on with setting your own boundaries. Send me a voice note on Instagram here and let me know.
