    What is Self-Neglect?

    I am absolutely thrilled to share that today is officially publication day for From Self-Neglect to Self-Compassion! To celebrate, I wanted to do something a little different for the podcast this week. Instead of a standard business tip or strategy, I sat down to read you one of the excerpts from the book. You know that part of you that gets snarky, "prickly", or just plain rude when you are stressed? I call that part of me my inner hedgehog and that part of you needs a hug just as much as the other parts. Pop your earbuds in for a short, honest reading about why befriending your shadow side is the game changer you didn't know you needed.

    Speaking Up For Yourself And Your Business with Sally Prosser

    In this episode, I'm joined by voice coach Sally Prosser to dismantle the myth that you need to be perfectly polished to be heard, revealing why your "stumbles" might actually be the key to deeper connection. We dive into the psychology of safety, the vital difference between time management and "energy mastery," and the wild story of how she manifested a meeting with Oprah; if you're ready for "business audibility" and to find the courage to speak your truth, this conversation is the one you've been waiting for.

    Little Gift For Your Future Self

    Welcome to Season 10 of Welcome to Self®, it is such a pleasure to have you here for this new chapter. In this opening episode, I am inviting you to take a long exhale and think about the relationship you have with your future self. Everything we do in the here and now is either a benefit to our future self or a cost they will have to pay later on. Join me as we explore how to move forward intentionally, remembering that we are always human first and perfection is never the goal.

    Why High Achievers Burn Out in Silence with Cherie Clonan

    Cherie is back for another episode! I'm so excited to share this chat with you. Cherie was achieving all the external markers of success while quietly drowning in burnout, chronic insomnia, gastric ulcers requiring surgery and thoughts she couldn't share with anyone, not even her husband. The scariest part? Nobody could tell. In this episode, Cherie shares what high-functioning burnout really looks like for women entrepreneurs. We dive into how she recovered using personalised methods. Remember, burnout doesn't look the same for everyone, and that's precisely what makes it so easy to miss, even in ourselves.

    The Sneaky Ways We Self-Neglect and How to Stop

    This week's solo episode is all about recognising self-neglect in its everyday forms. While processing pre-orders for my new book "From Self-Neglect to Self-Compassion," I'm sharing some of the checklist that catches almost everyone off guard, yes, even people who think they're doing self-care well. I talk about skipping meals because others need you, minimising your feelings, staying in jobs you dread, and buying treats for everyone but yourself. I also get personal about my own journey from a critical, neglectful relationship with myself to the life I'm living now through compassion. Plus, I share a timely reminder about nervous system regulation, because excitement stresses your body just like worry does. What do you have coming up that needs extra support?
