Overthinking Olympics May 12, 2021

Show notes

Do you overthink as if it were an Olympic sport and you are actually in training for medal contention? Do you find yourself replaying conversations hours or even days afterwards? Are you prone to never deciding? This episode is for you my friend!

Overthinking is a massive time and energy sucker but the good news is overthinking is a habit. And like all habits, it can be unlearned with some practice.

So in this episode we’ll explore what overthinking actually is, what causes it, and then walk through some practical exercises you can experiment with to stop overthinking so much.

What Do I Do Now?! May 05, 2021

Show notes

The first in a new series on the podcast – Listener Letters. If you have a dilemma, challenge or a self-doubty situation that is troubling you I want to help. Write to me and I will create a podcast episode especially for you. I am hoping that this will not only help you the letter writer, but also everyone who is also in a similar situation. So let me help!

Our first letter is from Diedre in Ireland who after years of achieving is not working and this has led to a sense of paralysis and some shame. She doesn’t know what to do next and doesn’t want to make the wrong choice. Like so many of us that go through an unmooring and uncertain change, Dierdre is asking ‘what do I do now?!’

In this episode we explore what happens when we go through a big transition – what to expect and how to support yourself at the four different stages.

The Risk of Success Apr 21, 2021

Show notes

Success is one of the core risks that self-doubt holds us back from.
It’s a sneaky risk because so much of our culture assumes that we are just supposed to want success!

In this episode, we explore how the risk of success shows up and how to recognise that this might be something you protect yourself from.
I’m also sharing three really practical steps you can take today, to feel less discomfort and to change your relationship with success.

Creating success on our terms provides us with amazing opportunities to create work that reflects our values, that allows us to experience pride and joy, help us to grow and our self-concept to expand.

If your relationship with success could do with some love - this episode is especially for you.

External Validation Apr 14, 2021

Show notes

If you notice that you really need external validation to make decisions, to feel like what you have done matters, this episode will help.
First – nothing has gone wrong! Seeking approval and affirmation and recognition is an entirely human tendency and it helps us feel connected to other people. This only becomes problematic when we feel dependent on the blessing of other people to do anything.

In this episode I share why some of us have a hunger for validation from other people, what we are really doing when we seek external validation, plus: three really simple practices to help you begin to validate yourself that will dramatically grow your self-trust.
