Ep 52: The 3 Stages of Personal Growth Sep 26, 2018

Show notes

Becoming your best self sounds SO appealing. But what's rarely talked about is the process you have to go through to get there - and that it's not rainbows and butterflies.

I've been a personal development addict for at least 5 years now and have found that I typically cycle through 3 stages as I continue to improve myself - discovery, implementation and recalibration (aka stagnation).

I thought it might be helpful to share this so that when it feels like you've taken a few steps back, you'll know that nothing has gone wrong. It's just part of the process.

I also thought it would be helpful in the sense that it will get you reflecting on what stage of personal growth you're currently in and perhaps a few of the reasons why you're not seeing the kind of change that you're hoping for. I hope you find the episode helpful!

Ep 51: The End of Smart Twenties + What's Coming Next Sep 23, 2018

Show notes

I started Smart Twenties five years ago so I could blog about how to make the most of your twenties - a dilemma I was in the process of figuring out myself. As time has gone on, my focus has changed from figuring out how to make the most of my twenties to figuring out how to get out of my own way and overcome my perfectionist tendencies. But with the name 'Smart Twenties', that isn't particularly clear.

In this episode, I'm sharing the reasons why I've decided to rebrand myself and leave the name Smart Twenties behind. Thank you for your support until this point and I hope you're as excited about the changes as I am!

When you hate your job it feels like the only logical answer is to get a new one.

In this episode, I'm sharing my best advice on what to do when you hate your job. I talk about what makes a job feel fulfilling, a simple journaling exercise that will help you transform your mindset around your career, the hidden reason you're blocking yourself from liking your job and so much more!

Ep 47: 5 Steps To Escape Stress + Overwhelm Sep 09, 2018

Show notes

When my coaching clients start working with me, they feel stressed about their life and overwhelmed by their goals. In this episode, I'm sharing the simple step-by-step process I use to help my coaching clients get out of the headspace so they can start living into their full potential. I hope you find it helpful!

I share the full step-by-step process in the episode but here are some questions that will help you apply what you've learned to your life:

To create clarity and make a decision, ask: "If I could wave a magic wand, what would I want my life to look like?"
To figure out the steps to take, ask: "What advice would I give a friend in the same situation as me?"
To build an awareness of your current thinking, ask: "What are the reasons I haven't started this already?" or "What are the reasons I haven't made a decision yet?"
To put your to-do list on your calendar, ask: "How would my higher self-plan this?"
To follow through, keep a list of every distraction that tempts you so that you can stay on task and follow up on anything that needs to be done later

Ep 45: 10 Signs You're A Perfectionist Sep 02, 2018

Show notes

I get so many emails from readers and listeners saying that they can relate to what I talk about on the podcast but they don't think they're a perfectionist. So I thought it was about time that I explained what I mean when I talk about perfectionism!

Perfectionism is something that underlies every single podcast episode I've ever recorded, but I've never actually done an episode on exactly what perfectionism is and how to overcome it. In this episode, I'm diving into the perfectionist mindset and talking about where it comes from, how to tell if you've got it and how to move out of it. I hope you find it helpful!To find out more make sure you visit the show notes.

Ep 44: Another Update On My 2018 Impossible Goal Aug 26, 2018

Show notes

At the beginning of 2018, I set myself an 'impossible' goal of making $500,000 in my business. The first 8 months of 2018 have taught me SO much about myself and have been a steep learning curve, so I thought I'd share it all with you.

I've learned an incredible amount about myself and my beliefs already, as well as what it means to work towards a goal without knowing exactly how you're going to achieve it. I hope you find this helpful and if you're working towards a big goal, I have no doubt you'll be able to relate a lot of this!

Ep 43: 15 Reasons You're Not Achieving Your Goals Aug 19, 2018

Show notes

Over the last few years of my personal development journey, I've seen myself sabotage my goals in just about every way imaginable - some more obvious than others.

In this week's podcast episode I'm sharing 15 reasons that you're not achieving your goals, particularly if you're a perfectionist! This was a fun one for me to record because it really reminded me just how many ways we undermine our own success and I hope you get a lot from it.
