    EP12: From Wanting To Hurt My Kids to Grateful for No Childcare - TEW Client Spotlight Series: Bonnie Wicks

    Today one of my client’s, Bonnie Wicks shares openly about a period of her life where she was so overwhelmed and burnt out she was having intrusive thoughts about wanting to hurt her kids. She was constantly overstimulated, reactive and on edge. What she needed wasn’t more parenting strategies. It was to regulate her nervous system and shift the internal state driving her reactions. Through our work together inside The Elevated Woman, Bonnie moved from frenetic, urgent energy and daily reactivity to a home and business that feel more easeful, manageable and joyful. More recently, Bonnie found herself genuinely excited to have five weeks with no childcare – and in this episode we unpack exactly how she got here. This conversation is honest, grounded and a powerful example of what changes when a mother learns to regulate herself. Key Talking Points: How Bonnie went from intrusive thoughts about hurting her kids to feeling excited for five weeks with no childcareThe shift from frenetic, burnt out urgency to a far more regulated and patient baseline in running a business and a home.Why you can’t regulate your kids, but regulating yourself changes everything. The specific practice Bonnie still uses to help her in high-stress moments including supporting a child with autism, ADHD and ODDThe single belief uncovered in hypnotherapy that changed the way she experiences motherhood and businessWhy The Elevated Woman has been one of the top 5 most influential experience of Bonnie’s life Links & Resources Mentioned The Elevated Woman - details and application formBook a free connection call for The Elevated Woman to see if it’s an aligned fit (this call is with me) Connect With Bonnie Instagram WebsiteBrand, Business & Becoming Podcast To work with Sarah:  Book a free connection call with me for The Elevated WomanThe Elevated Woman - details and application formTo book in a hypnotherapy session - email support@sarahscullyleaf.comTo create health habits - Health That HoldsFirst access to Sarah’s group breathwork events (limited spots) here To connect with Sarah on instagram click here.

    EP11: From A Burnt-Out Lawyer to Building a Business in Bali: The Exact Process to Create Your Version of Success (& What I'd Do Differently)

    I’m taking you behind the scenes of the life you see now and walking you through the exact process I used to create it. I share the honest story of going from a burnt out corporate lawyer with PTSD and zero clarity on what was next, to building a business and life in Bali that I genuinely love waking up to. This is not a “just follow your dreams” conversation. It is the actual three step process I use with clients to create change faster than I did on my own. We talk about getting clear on what you want, identifying what is between you and that life, and how to take action that your nervous system can actually sustain. I also share a personal update from a recent low period and how I moved through it without abandoning myself or blowing up my life and business. If you are highly self aware, doing all the right things and still feel stuck in the same patterns, this episode will show you where change actually happens and how to start creating your version of success. Key Talking Points: The honest backstory behind my move from law into business and life in Bali (and the exact process i used to build it)What i’d do differently if i was doing it all over againWhy clarity does not come from waiting and how to actually get clear on what you wanWhat is actually between you and the life you want (not what you’ve convinced yourself)What aligned, inspired action really means and how to take action your nervous system can sustainWhy doing this alone keeps you in trial and error and what changes when you have the right supportThe core wound I had to shift to create the life this beautiful life i have nowLinks and Resources Mentioned The Elevated Woman - details and application formBook a free connection call for The Elevated Woman to see if it’s an aligned fit (this call is with Sarah)Replay for The Mission & Meaning Roadmap To work with Sarah:  For deep 1:1 transformation - The Elevated WomanFor one-off sessions - email support@sarahscullyleaf.comTo create health habits - Health That HoldsFirst access to Sarah’s group breathwork events (limited spots) hereTo connect with Sarah on instagram click here.

    EP9: Creating Financial Abundance: The Inner Work AND The Strategic Work Required for Wealth with Kim Kent

    In today’s episode with Kim Kent, money coach and financial advice disruptor, we start the episode by answering the controversial question, which is more important to create wealth - the inner work or the strategic work? This episode is a deep dive on both - the step-by-step inner work and the strategic work needed to create huge financial abundance in your life. We unpack how your nervous system and subconscious beliefs affect your ability to create wealth and why that alone isn’t enough, without structure to support it. We also unpack the practical side of money that most people avoid or oversimplify - how you relate to budgeting, the way your accounts are set up, the order money leaves your life, and how and when to prioritise saving or investing to build long-term wealth. Key Talking Points: Inner work vs strategic work and why financial abundance needs bothThe core money wound underneath your scarcity and why no amount of money ever feels enoughWhy making money is different to holding money (and what actually changes that)The “Person A to Person B” gap. Why self-sabotage kicks in right as things start improving.What to do when you feel wobbly around money - how to create safety without bypassing reality.What matters most between budgeting, saving and investing (and why “budgeting” can feel like punishment if you attach restriction to it).Both of our investments preferences - Stocks vs real estate vs cryptoBoth of our personal preferences what we invest in (stock vs real estate vs crypto)Kim’s personal numbers - property numbers, how much money she made last month, and even how much money she has in her bank account Connect with Kim Website - www.kimkent.netInstagram - www.instagram.com/kimkent__/Free savings cheat sheet - www.kimkent.net/savingscheatsheet To work with Sarah:  For deep 1:1 transformation - The Elevated WomanFor one-off sessions - email support@sarahscullyleaf.comTo create health habits - Health That HoldsFirst access to Sarah’s group breathwork events (limited spots) here To connect with Sarah on instagram click here.

    EP3: Why You Care What Other People Think (& What To Do About It)

    In today’s episode of Head, Heart & Whole, I unpack the real reason you care what other people think and what to do about it. This episode goes deeper than “fear of judgment.” Because what’s actually happening underneath isn’t about caring less, it’s about healing the root causes that make you care in the first place. You’ll learn how to identify what’s really driving this pattern, how to stop avoiding the emotions that come with being judged and practical ways to feel more free being seen. We cover:The two root causes of why you care what others thinkHow your nervous system links belonging to safetyWhy it’s not fear of judgment How to stop oversharing your decisions when you’re still finding clarityThe two questions I use when someone judges or comments on my lifeSomatic and subconscious tools for real, lasting change What to do when you can’t control who you’re informing (like sharing online as part of your work)Links and Resources Mentioned Breath Different, Feel Different here (POD10 for 10% off)For deep 1:1 transformation - The Elevated WomanFor hypnotherapy session email support@sarahscullyleaf.com To work with Sarah:  For Breath Different, Feel Different (POD10 for 10% off)For deep 1:1 transformation - The Elevated WomanFor one-off sessions - email support@sarahscullyleaf.comTo connect with Sarah on instagram click here.
