Chin Wags with Pheebs Phoebe Shergold-Willis

Ok ok ok don't judge the title...this episode gives you an insight into my short 24 years of life, sharing my story, and sharing key things I wish I knew when I first started my business. With specific focus on the past 18 months of my life where the MOST pivotal moments of my life have happened.

Its been a hot minute since I've done a podcast episode...but the pandemic had other plans for me. Just a quick hello before a real full length episode coming at ya next week!
 

I met Jac through a show we both worked on just before lockdown and now we are podcasting together! Join Jac and I talking about our how we got to know each other over Instagram and how we have run and are navigating out Arts Businesses through lockdown. We talk about our passion for supporting Young People to give them a voice through the arts and what our near future's look like in the arts industry.

The next quarter in the business world is UPON US. 
I have never set annual or quarterly goals before and who knew setting goals would be so cathartic and exciting!
I’ve always set goals of some sort, but have never followed them up by breaking them down into weekly action steps...then I always wonder why I don't ever achieve my goals. I have run my business for 5 years and never have I sat down like I have this quarter to really work through my goals. 
If you want hear about my goals and how I've set them, give this one a listen!

6 weeks ago I found myself in a really bad slump. I was working the bare minimum hours I could get away with, staying in my pyjama's all day, not exercising, binge eating and sleeping a lot more than usual.
This all changed when I read Atomic Habits by James Clear. A few chapters in, I made a commitment to myself that I wasn’t going “just start again on Monday” or “just deal with it” anymore. I had a real shift in my mindset like never before. This podcast takes you through my slump, how I dealt with it, and how I implemented new habits and rituals in my life to really step into the best version of Pheebs EVER!

We are all too familiar with the daily grind of lockdown…you can only go to the shops once a day…you can only exercise outside the house once a day…baking endless banana bread and joining stupid amounts of online zoom quizzes…but how can we utilise this time to build new healthy habits in this crazy lockdown life we are all living in? I have the pleasure of interviewing the lovely Sam Brookes who is a Personal Trainer specialising in power lifting and calisthenics. We met at my gym (yes I am plugging PUREGYM DIDCOT because its the best), but not only is Sam a personal trainer, he has personally been a great source of motivation for me, my fiancé and many other people in and outside the gym. In this podcast Sam and I chat about how we can use this precious time we have been granted from this global pandemic, to create new healthy habits. Because what we do now, is going to transfer over to the outside world when we are back in some kind of normality. If you have enjoyed this weeks podcast, do drop us a review on iTunes!
