    Ep #87: The Discomfort Zone

    Ep #87: The Discomfort Zone

    In this episode we get into what is standing between you right now and your desires: the discomfort zone. You will learn why we feel so much resistance with it, and get a refreshed perspective on it - I like to call it the 'growth zone' for that reason. I break down for you the process which takes place when you're trying to make a change, and how to get through your discomfort zone instead of avoiding it. You will leave feeling motivated to try it for yourself, which pays huge dividends when it comes to your life fulfillment.

    Please share with a friend or colleague who has been willing to create some change, but for some reason doesn't seem to make it happen. And leave me a review if this episode resonated with you.

    Ep #86: How Much Are You Giving vs. Receiving?

    Ep #86: How Much Are You Giving vs. Receiving?

    In this episode I invite you to explore how much giving you do in your career + life. And how this compares with how much you receive. You may be surprised... because many of us have this off balance. I explain why that is, drawing from my personal story and psychology. It's time for more receiving, and I give you 3 steps to bring that balance back in your life.

    Ep #85: How to Combat Work Stress

    Ep #85: How to Combat Work Stress

    Work stress is the new epidemic, and few of us are immune to it. So in this episode we deep dive into what work stress really is, and where it comes from. You will understand both the conscious and unconscious roots of your stress reactions, and how to bring yourself back to a neutral place. This is a big part of our mental health, and it requires awareness and grounding practices so we maintain the quality of life we aspire to. A lot of it is within our control, and I show you what in this episode.

    Please share this episode with anyone you know you can benefit from this knowledge (which is probably a lot of people!). More awareness will bring collectively less stress around our workplaces. I would also love it if you could leave me a review if this episode helped you - thank you.

    Ep #73: Take Up Your Space

    Ep #73: Take Up Your Space

    Women often find it challenging to speak confidently, and take up their space. It has become a habit to not fully express ourselves, as some form of protection. In this episode, we explore why that is, what this situation creates, and how to change it. This is a big call for women to stop being small or apologising when it isn't necessary, and to step into a version of themselves that feels good enough to talk and contribute. 

    Please share this episode with your female friends and colleagues, as it will change forever how they speak in the presence of others. And we need change on an individual basis, in order to affect the collective level. So the more awareness we can generate, the better it is for all of us.
