Friday Apr 18, 2025
In this episode, I'll be sharing with you 5 BIG Lessons that I've learned from a whole year of podcasting.

As personal development speaker Jim Rohn once said, "The most important aspect of a goal is (weirdly) not the achievement of it, but who you become as a result of going after it".
Because those life learnings will stay with you longer term.So if you want to hear some of my key learnings over the past year so that you can start applying them to your own goals and projects, grab a cuppa or whatever you do when you're listening to your podcasts, and let's get started!

Friday Apr 04, 2025
Friday Apr 04, 2025
If there's one thing that most people say they want more of it's confidence.
Statements like:
I lack confidence.
I've lost my confidence.
I'm having a crisis of confidence.
Are all too common.
One of the big mistakes people make when they talk about confidence, is that they talk about it as a 'single entity'...when it is, in fact, multi-layered.
So in this episode, we'll be looking at the 4 main layers of confidence and how to develop them.
If you focus on improving these 4 layers, it'll make a HUGE difference to your overall levels of confidence, in a way that is sustainable.

How to use Mental Rehearsal to Create Positive Change in your Life
Thursday Mar 20, 2025
Thursday Mar 20, 2025
Deep down, everyone has things that they want to change in their lives…
Blocks, barriers, emotional issues, destructive behaviours…things that prevent them from getting more of what they want…
But the problem is, we’ve never been taught how to make those changes…
We’ve been given this incredible device, our brain, but we’ve not been given a user manual.
So we fiddle about, trying to get it to do what we want it to do, but it seems to have a mind of its own.
And as a result, change, for many people, feels difficult, if not impossible.
But what if there was a way to unlock your brain’s potential? To be able to use your mind to create specific, positive changes in you life?
AND to it deliberately, by design.
Well, you’ll be glad to know, that there is such a thing. And the key to all of it: is mental rehearsal.
So in this episode, we're going to be digging into this amazing process and how to use it to create positive changes in your life.
So grab a cuppa, or whatever you do when you're listening to your podcasts and lets get started.
