Episode 6 of Being Better and I'm digging into heartbreak. I'm taking on some meaty questions like "What do you do when you mutually break up with someone and they instantly date their ex?", "How do you know when you should break up with someone" and "Should there be chemistry by the third date? I'm seeing someone who's a total catch on paper but there's zero flutter."
Breakups SUCK but hopefully these tips take the sting out a little bit. Happy listening!

Welcome to episode 4 of Being Better and today we’re taking about honouring a commitment to yourself.
Do you trust yourself enough to make promises you can keep? If you’ve ever broken a promise to yourself then this episode is for you.
From learning how to trust yourself to knowing when to stop and when to pick up the pieces, I explain why keeping promises to yourself is one of the greatest forms of self love and self respect and why you should do it more often.

Do you procrastinate more than you commit to doing what you need to do to achieve your goals? It’s episode 3 of my Being Better series to get your 2024 started with a bang. In this ep we’re talking soft action vs bold action – and how knowing the difference between the two is the secret to getting shit done!
As a teaser: Bold Action is the thing that is crucial to deliver results. Soft Action is all the smaller, peripheral actions that contribute to the bigger picture.

Do you live a life that’s true to your authentic self? In this episode I’m exploring the concept of the authentic self, what it means to be happy and how you can tap into it more effectively. I’m also jumping into the idea of self inconsistency and self conflict. Together these concepts will help you understand more about what it is that makes you happy, and how to live that life more authentically. If you’ve ever felt a little lost in life, this episode will show you how to get some of these tools to really help you feel like you are living on purpose with what you truly want to do.
