Ok, let's face it... We all suffer with the dreaded Imposter Syndrome from time to time in the workplace, but there are always tips and tricks you can use to get through that feeling. 

In this week's episode, Lucy's joined by business and mindset coach, Alannis Barnes, for a chat about how we can build the career of our dreams!

Whether you're really wanting to just live a happy, calm life or you're wanting to pour your energy into something you're passionate about - you'll definitely take a piece of advice away from this conversation that might help you figure things out. 

It's hard to know what we want to do with our life, especially when there are now SO many different options - but, remember, you don't necessarily have to stick to just the one avenue.

Bonjourno! 

In this episode, Lucy's going to be talking to you about her latest trip to Italy - a last minute booking whilst on annual leave - and how it worked absolute wonders for getting some head space.

She'll also talk you through some of her recommended must-have possessions to take away with you (especially helpful if you're somebody who suffers with general anxiety or anxiety around travelling) and how she coped with the *slight few* un-ideal scenarios that occurred during the trip. 

If you've ever watched a Bob Ross painting video before bed, you'll know exactly how therapeutic and calming looking at mountains can be. Pair it with the ambient sounds of water streams, crunchy footsteps against autumn leaves and coffee cups being placed on a ceramic table outside a local cafe next to the lake, you've arrived in heaven. 

During the next twenty-so minutes, Lucy talks you through the day she visited Lake Como and why you should *definitely* add it to your bucket list.

Hello! In this episode, Lucy's joined by solution focused psychotherapist and host of Stress Bucket Solutions podcast, Gin Lalli. 

Gin explains what a 'stress bucket' is and how you can stop it from getting too full - such as allowing yourself to have more down-time, trying new hobbies to put yourself out there and practising having more self-love in your everyday life - especially when it feels like you're drowning in the not-so-great side effects of a 2021 life.

To hear more from Gin, head to Stress Bucket Solutions on Apple, Spotify (or wherever you get your podcasts).

At some point in our lives, most of us will have to deal with a toxic person. 

Whether that's a new work colleague or boss, a teacher, a friend, a sibling or even a parent. For some people, it means being romantically involved with an abusive narcissist. 

So, what exactly is a narcissist? It's a word we see being thrown around a lot nowadays, especially in pretty coloured Instagram carousels with 'wishy washy' advice. 

In this episode, Lucy speaks with therapist Victoria, who specialises in recovery after trauma and dealing with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. 

She explains to us, in a nutshell, which signs to lookout for if you think you may be in an abusive relationship, along with how to manage these relationships - or escape them safely.
