    Episode 33: So Just What Is Stopping You?

    Welcome to Episode 30 of the podcast, and our new look, feel and SOUND!  indset-focused episode, Nicky asks the 64 million dollar question question that plagues us all at some point in our lives: 'Just what is stopping you?' What is really stopping you right now from achieving everything that you ever thought was possible?  It's a big question. And it's one that Nicky admits not always knowing the answer to. But in this episode she invites you to start getting so much more curious about how you reach your next level, and, how you actually gain access to everything that is possible for you. So my big question for you today is just what is stopping you? If we were to have so much fun with this, if we were to take the seriousness out of these really big questions, how would we get the answers that would actually spur us on? What you can expect to hear in this episode of the #SSBPodcast: If you were to have so much fun with accessing your next level what could that look like? If we were to take the seriousness out of these really big questions, how would we get the answers that would actually spur us on to take action and move towards our goals? How a lack of clarity can be the biggest blocker to manifesting your visions. Walk through a gentle but powerful guided visualisation to help you manifest your goals. Want to know more about SSB?

    Episode 32: What Have Mixing Bowls and Dining Chairs Got To Do With Personal Growth?

    Welcome to Episode 32 of the podcast, and our new look, feel and SOUND!  In this episode Nicky asks, 'Do we ever really stop and take time to consider how far we've come?' She challenges our ability to look at our own personal growth journey and fully honour, salute and luxuriously, and decadently take time to literally drink in how far we've come? She explains how one of the huge HUGE ironies is we crack open a bottle of champagne so often to celebrate something - an event, an occasion and then it's gone. It's fleeting. But what happens when we STOP in the silence and truly celebrate? What you can expect to hear in this episode of the #SSBPodcast: Nicky asks 'When did you really stop and ask yourself this question: how far have I really come?' Do you bask in your growth? Truly acknowledge it?  Do you listen to others when they see your growth and tell you they can see how well you're doing?  She explores ways we can all learn to stop and take a moment to truly acknowledge our own personal growth in order to achieve even more!

    Episode 30: The Great Autumn Reset

    Welcome to Episode 30 of the podcast, and our new look, feel and SOUND!  In this seasonal episode, Nicky shares her thoughts on the energy of the autumnal season and why she thinks this time of year is just as important for goals setting as New Years Resolutions.  She shares her findings from over seven years of coaching entrepreneurs and business owners and how she has notices that Autumn provides us with months  when our goals REALLY seem to come alive and we actually kick into REAL action. She talks about how it gives us the gift of connecting the dots backwards so far in the year with the gift of realising we still have four months left to: course correct change our goals reshape our attitude ramp up our goals What you can expect to hear in this episode of the #SSBPodcast: Why we could all make the rest of the year when our best goals are realised; How you can make quantum leaps at ANY time during a whole 12 months of the calendar year; Why freezing time and space gives you a different perspective on what you can achieve in the last quarter of the year; And why this time of year is perfect for initiating a kick start of intentional energy and purpose because 2023 is not over yet!

    Welcome to Episode 28 of the podcast, and our new look, feel and SOUND!  Ever feel that you need to constantly be re-inventing yourself; launching something new; feel worn out by the constant pressure of having to be all things to all people, and most of all, tired from the frustration of not truly following your own dreams?

  7. Episode 27: What does your soul need right now?

    Episode 27: What does your soul need right now?

    Welcome to this very short episode of the Empowered businesswoman and just slight variation on what we normally talk about here... After recording Episode 26 I had to take a step back for a few days having felt unwell but what came from that is such great reflection I wanted to share it with you. Because when we DO take a little bit of time out of the 'physical' we can often see there is a memo, or a little side note from the universe as I call it. It's almost as if there's an internal voice saying 'Ah, yes, but not this week, just not this week!' I wanted to come on here and just share a little bit more about this reminder that I dived into deeper in Episode 26. So, here in Episode 27 of the podcast, I just want to spend a very short amount of time asking you this question and in turn, I want you to then ask it of yourself. Because I'm in in the incredible space I get to play full out in my own personal growth every single day. And I want the same for you. One thing I noticed last week is there is something fundamentally important that so many of us don't ask of ourselves often enough. And that question is, 'Just what does my soul need right now? What does my soul need right now, in this moment?' How often do you ask yourself, 'What does my soul need right now?'

  8. Episode 26: How to not let a bad day ruin your business

    Episode 26: How to not let a bad day ruin your business

    In this episode of The Empowered Business Woman Podcast I share with you how I've actually been taking a couple of days off - forced, not chosen! However, in that time I was actually inspired to pick up my headphones, press record and connect in with you because something occurred to me whilst I was taking time out and that was, as an entrepreneur with a busy lifestyle and a list of amazing things I am excited to achieve, put into action and bring to you, that I had to accept, one and for all, that I am indeed not a robot. And because I know what is personal is universal, I am guessing some of you might go through this kind of predicament too so I wanted to share it with you in real time because that's part of what this podcast is all about. It's my way of connecting with you from such a place of honesty and realness in that moment, where I feel inspired to like say, pick up the headphones, get into this space and say, hey, does this ever occur to you or do you ever feel like this? And today was one of those moments. So this episode very much asks the question of many entrepreneurs and business owners: 'What do we do when we get the memo that we need to rest? What do we do when we're running busy lives, busy businesses, we're trying to do everything and not miss out on any of the opportunities yet we know we need to take a few days off to heal, recuperate and get better?' Will everything stop? Will the world stop turning will my clients disappear? You know, I get the thoughts that might go around in your head. The supernatural they're normal. And in this episode we discuss these fears and how to move past them and perhaps still even grow our business whilst we sit back, press play on a Netflix series and wrap ourselves in a blanket! Essentially, I share with you my thoughts on how to not let one bad day ruin your business - I hope you enjoy it.   LINKS: How to connect with Nicola Wilkes Website: GROW WITH US https://www.seriouslystylishbusiness.co.uk/  ONLINE MAGAZINE https://www.nicolawilkes.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seriouslystylishbusiness/ Check out SSB Education platform and coaching programmes here:  https://www.seriouslystylishbusiness.co.uk/learn-with-me
