    Season 1 finale

    Ah, all good things must come to an end. In today’s episode:

    🌱  What I’ve learnt from a year and a half of podcasting every week

    🌱  Why I’m taking a break now

    🌱  How to keep in touch with this work while I work on my next project!

    Knowing when to switch directions is an art, not a science. Building a habit means ignoring the feeling of discomfort for long enough to get the habit established. However, once a habit is established, a new skill takes over – being able to listen to yourself so you know how to change direction, and create new priorities as your needs change, rather than getting stuck in an established routine! Ah, life: it’s always about balance in the end.

    The changes are so small and easy to implement and yet you’ll immediately start experiencing more joy and satisfaction in your life, and greater balance too.

    Why, how and when to get vulnerable

    Why, how and when to get vulnerable

    The easiest way to understand what vulnerability is, is that feels uncomfortable, and often is about doing the thing that’s the opposite of what you normally do. Not the opposite of every little thing – but changing those behaviours that are designed to protect you, yet somehow only seem to create more problems in the long run.

    Eep! Why would you wan to do that? Well, in this episode we unpack:

    🌱  Why getting vulnerable leads to more growth and connection

    🌱  How to recognise which behaviours create walls around you, and

    🌱  Ideas on how you can make it easier for yourself to practice vulnerability and show up as your true self.

    Being vulnerable can feel super scary, but getting to show up as your true self is a great act of self love that leads to deeper connections and being seen and heard more fully. It’s worth the risk!

    How to understand yourself, and others, better

    How to understand yourself, and others, better

    Don't you just love a cute little acronym to help explain who you are, and what makes other people tick?!

    In this week’s podcast we’re unpacking a brain based, neuroscience backed model for working out how you, and other people, are influenced and get hurt, and ideas on how to help people feel safe, instead of threatened.

    🌱  Understanding the five elements of the SCARF model

    🌱  How to know which category you fall into

    🌱  Ideas for making sure you treat people as they need to be treated so they can feel safe

    SCARF is a great little tool for helping you to make sense of why you get hurt sometimes by little things that happen at home and work. After all, when you understand why something is affecting you, it loses a lot of its power over you.
