How to Listen to the Lessons of Nature’s Ways | #61

In this podcast episode, I explore the lessons that Nature teaches us, which remind us to take our time. As humans, we fight so many of our instincts, but even in this modern society, releasing ourselves to the natural chaos that Nature follows – the laws of Physics and science – connects us more deeply with the experience of human spiritual connection. || LINKS MENTIONED|| ⁠⁠⁠– Want to know more… Read More »How to Listen to the Lessons of Nature’s Ways | #61

Breaking the Hidden Stigma of ‘Changing Your Mind’ | #60

In this podcast episode, I do a bit of a deep dive into the taboo of changing our minds, confirmation bias and stereotyping, and the lack of ‘trust’ for those of us who reinvent our identities. Our human curiosity, growth, and love of learning are superpowers we should never let go of. When science clearly gives us new information, remaining open and curious instead of trusting stereotypes and confirmation bias… Read More »Breaking the Hidden Stigma of ‘Changing Your Mind’ | #60

Staying Rooted in Reality when Setting Expectations | #59

Setting goals often involves setting expectations – we’ll do X, and it will feel like Y, giving us outcome Z. Yet, our sense of time, our sense of progress, is something humans seem to find particularly tricky to plan for. Particularly in the self-development field, the idea of XYZ leading to a set path is that is unrealistic and therefore sets many of us up to feel like we’ve failed.… Read More »Staying Rooted in Reality when Setting Expectations | #59

Why the Gift of Functioning Actually Harms Our Reinvention | #58

In today’s episode, I talk a bit about my understanding of ‘functioning’ from my mental health training, the myth of high-functioning and over-functioning, and my own personal experience of how society perceives functioning levels and disability. When we are made to feel broken when we don’t “function”, it’s a huge block to reinventing ourselves when we don’t understand the impact of that word, or how pushing ourselves can be harmful.… Read More »Why the Gift of Functioning Actually Harms Our Reinvention | #58

Your reinvention will not look from the outside as it feels on the inside.

How We Define Brokenness Wrongly: The Pressure We Put On Ourselves | #56

My entire journey as a lifelong learner and soul searcher has been fuelled by feeling ‘broken’ and an innate pressure to try to ‘fix’ myself. Reading ‘Untamed’ by Glennon Doyle last year really hit me, and an article by Terri Cole a couple of months ago have been adding together in my brain as I deal with some personal transition. This episode is a reminder to myself as well as… Read More »How We Define Brokenness Wrongly: The Pressure We Put On Ourselves | #56

Why Our Motivation to Change is Missing Willingness | #55

I’ve been really diving into ACT theories this month, and one aspect that really got me reflecting on my work as a life coach and wellbeing practitioner is that of being willing to go through the sucky parts of life to reach the more aligned sections. Today, that’s what we dive into. || LINKS MENTIONED|| –Motivation to Change: Willpower and Asking Yourself Why – Life is Allowed to be Hard,… Read More »Why Our Motivation to Change is Missing Willingness | #55

How Constraints Are a Gift for our Creativity | #54

This week marks the deadline of a writing challenge I have entered, something which felt less and less like a gift or opportunity as it drew nearer. And with this deadline, I’ve been thinking a lot about constraints and limits – and how they can be HELPFUL for our creative projects. It’s also my birthday this week, so hai, newfound wisdom. || LINKS MENTIONED|| – Why We Are All Creative… Read More »How Constraints Are a Gift for our Creativity | #54
