    Who's on your bench?

    Who's on your bench?

    This episode is all about your bench – the people you choose to support you (and give you the occasional kick up the bum). 

     

    I’ll be encouraging you to think about the different people in your life – the radiators and drains, the role models and blockers –
    and who you want to invite to join you on your bench.

     

    If you’re in need of a coach on your bench, to give you time, space and support to focus on your needs, drop me a message (details below) and we can book in a free 30 minute Discovery call.

Listening perfection

As someone that suffers from anxiety and panic attacks, feelings of overwhelm are all too familiar to me. Pam’s calming voice made this show a pleasure to listen to and her practical tips gave me lots to think about and do. I can’t wait for the next episode.
