From facing life-altering decisions to navigating daily challenges, in this week's episode I explore the power of our thoughts and how they shape our experiences. In particular, I am focusing on the world of cognitive distortions, uncovering the unhelpful thinking styles that hold us back from reaching our full potential. 
By recognising these distortions, such as all-or-nothing thinking, overgeneralization, and personalisation, we learn to take responsibility for our lives and choose different thoughts that lead to positive change. 
I am sure you will resonate with at least one or two of these cognitive distortions. This episode will validate your experiences, whilst also enabling you to unlock the tools to become your best self.
 
You will learn about:
What cognitive distortions are How your thoughts impact your feelings, actions, and results Common cognitive distortions that may be holding you back from personal growth and happiness Strategies for acknowledging and validating negative thought patterns How to start overcoming cognitive distortions

In this week's episode I explore the concept of feminine and masculine energy and how finding a balance between the two can lead to a better understanding of one's authentic self and improved overall well-being.
Every human has both feminine and masculine energy within them, but we usually tend to be more dominant in one. If that’s you, and you’re feeling like you want to explore all sides of yourself, then this episode will give you the information and tools you need to do so. 


You will learn about:
The difference between feminine and masculine energy Why one energy is not better than the other How we have been conditioned to focus on our masculine side The benefits of leaning into all parts of yourself How you can balance your dominant side Activities and tools to embrace both feminine and masculine energy

Not all positivity is toxic, but there is potential for it to do more harm than good. This week I share my views on toxic positivity from my journey with it and the knowledge I’ve gained through further development. 
The recognition of toxic positivity in your life, whether it’s something you do or have been subject to, is part of the journey back to self. This episode may be confronting for you, so after listening I really encourage self-compassion. 


You will learn about:
What toxic positivity is and what you might be avoiding The significance of acknowledging and honouring all emotions How to get the best outcomes without dismissing genuine feelings Tips on how to support others effectively What is more impactful than giving unsolicited advice What practices can help you remove the "positive filter"

You will learn about:
The most common myths about emotions What emotions actually are and how our body shifts them What responses men and women have learnt to suppress How to avoid the harmful effects of ignoring your emotions Why crying is so beneficial for your health and wellbeing What being “emotional” does and doesn’t mean What people think of emotions in the workplace How to create safer, more authentic environments
