    Ep 6 Building Self Trust: Cultivate Self-Integrity

    Connecting with your values and strengths is foundational to building a solid sense of self. In this episode, we dive into the importance of knowing who you are, what you stand for, and how your personal values shape your identity. I'm sharing a type of self-affirmation that actually works to build psychological resources and create resilience that will buffer you against the self-doubt that arises during stressful situations.

  2. Why It's Essential You Learn Something New (especially if you think you're an expert)

    Why It's Essential You Learn Something New (especially if you think you're an expert)

    As adults, we don't often put ourselves in the position of being a novice. In this episode, I'm sharing why I've gone back to basics in my professional life, and the uncomfortable truth that despite years of experience, stepping back into a learner's role can trigger our ego by forcing us to confront our poor practices. Through my experiences, I highlight the importance of intellectual humility and the courage to unlearn old patterns in order to grow and stay relevant. Embracing the discomfort of being a beginner not only supports personal growth, mental agility and psychological flexibility but it enhances our cognitive abilities and keeps our passion for learning alive. I also share an incredible study highlighting the impact on our cognitive wellbeing from continuing to learn new skills as we age. Takeaways: Embracing the beginner's mindset is essential for continuous growth in our professional lives. Experiencing discomfort when learning new skills can lead to significant personal and professional development. Our ego often hinders us from acknowledging our need to learn and grow, especially as experts. Humility in accepting feedback and criticism is crucial for maintaining relevance in our careers.

    Ep 5 Building Self-Trust: Forgive yourself for past mistakes

    One of the biggest barriers to self-trust is allowing the pain and regret of past mistakes erode your confidence in your own judgements, abilities or decisions. In this episode, we explore self-forgiveness as the key to integrating and growing from mistakes, and why self-compassion is the foundation for any positive change especially in the face of a setback. **Beyond Confident is my online, small group coaching program that helps you to overcome self-doubt and imposter syndrome and cultivate unshakeable self-confidence.

    Ep 4 Building Self-Trust: Tune in to your body's wisdom

    How can you tell if your instincts are warning you something isn’t right for you, or if actually you’re just scared? How do you know if the choice you’re making is genuinely in your best interests, or if it just feels good in the moment? In this episode of Unlocking Self-Trust, I’ve recorded a short meditation to help you tune in to your body and see if you can notice how it feels when something is right for you or it isn’t. If you’re an over-thinker and you spend too much time in your head trying to find answers, I’d encourage you to use this exercise to start practising listening in to what your body might be trying to tell you.

  6. What Every Woman Needs to Know about Hormones with Dr Louise Newson (Part 2)

    What Every Woman Needs to Know about Hormones with Dr Louise Newson (Part 2)

    Understanding the critical role of hormone therapy is essential for women at every stage of life, not just those who are navigating the complexities of menopause and beyond. In my second conversation with Dr. Louise Newson, we discuss how to know if your hormone levels are low, whether it's possible to take too high a dose, and also the potential consequences of not replacing your lost hormones as you get older, such as increased risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, and even dementia. We dive into the difference between hormonal contraceptives and bio-identical hormones, and why even young women could benefit from targeted hormone therapy. Many women are still unaware of the profound benefits hormone therapy can offer so in this episode we aim to shed light on this topic and empower women to advocate for their health. Takeaways: Hormone therapy is not just for menopause and can offer significant benefits to younger women suffering from hormonal imbalances.HRT is crucial for peri-and menopausal women to balance hormones and reduce the risk of various health issues such as heart disease and osteoporosis. Understanding the difference between hormonal contraceptives and bio-identical hormones is vital for informed health decisions. Many women still believe misconceptions about HRT, which can lead to unnecessary suffering and health risks. Listening to women's symptoms and experiences is essential in addressing their health needs effectively. The risks associated with not taking hormones often outweigh the fears surrounding hormone replacement therapy. Natural hormones may be more beneficial than synthetic options, and women should advocate for their health choices.

    Ep 3 Building Self Trust: Befriend Your Inner Critic

    One of the biggest obstacles to overcoming self-doubt and building self-trust is your own internal critical voice, which is continually berating you, nitpicking and reminding you of where you’re falling short. In fact, self-criticism and self-doubt go hand and hand, which is why it’s so important to learn how to manage your negative self-talk and create a more supportive internal dialogue as a foundation for grounded, steady self-assurance.

    Ep 2 Building Self Trust: Create Inner Safety

    In the second episode of our 'How to Build Self-Trust' series, we're talking about the role your nervous system plays in fuelling and reinforcing your pattern of self-doubt and second-guessing. I want to make special mention of the often-overlooked 'fawn' response, which is one of four survival strategies you might use when your nervous system is activated. Tune in to hear why this step is the crucial foundation of any other work you do to build self-confidence and why it's so essential that you start here.
