What If Your Problems Are Part of the Journey? | Overwhelm, Mindset & Nervous System Regulation

What if the problems in your life aren't obstacles standing in the way of where you want to go, but part of the journey itself? In this episode of Out of Her Mind. Kobi Pollock explores a powerful mindset shift that can change how you navigate life's unexpected challenges, stress and overwhelm. After noticing her own nervous system feeling more activated, her window of tolerance shrinking and everyday tasks feeling harder than usual, Kobi shares an honest reflection on what it means to recognise where you are, accept it without judgement, and choose how to support yourself. Inspired by a conversation she heard on another podcast, Kobi explores the difference between an obstacle mindset and a pathway mindset and how the way we interpret life's challenges can influence how we feel and respond. In this episode, you'll discover: Why awareness and acceptance are the first steps towards change.What it can look when your window of tolerance feels smaller.How to stop judging yourself for feeling overwhelmed or struggling.The difference between seeing problems as obstacles and seeing them as part of your journey.How flexibility can help you navigate unexpected challenges without abandoning what matters to you.Three questions to help you reflect, reset and take your next small step.This isn't about pretending everything is a blessing or forcing yourself to think positively. It's about recognising that life doesn't have to be problem-free for you to keep moving towards the life you want. If you're a woman who feels like she's constantly managing the unexpected, putting pressure on herself to cope, or waiting for life to settle down before she can feel good again, this episode is for you. Take a breath, meet yourself where you are, and remember: you don't have to fix your entire life today. You just need to take the next step.

Are You Living Your Life or Just Managing It? 5 Signs You’ve Lost Yourself in Motherhood

Are you actually living your life… or are you just managing it? As mums, we can become incredibly good at managing everything — the school runs, work, meals, appointments, the house, the kids, everyone else's needs… until one day we realise we haven't stopped to ask ourselves what we actually need. In this episode of Out Of Her Mind, Kobi Pollock explores the difference between managing your life and actually living it, and shares 5 signs you may have become disconnected from yourself. We talk about: • Why being productive doesn't always mean you're fulfilled • Feeling guilty when you do something just for yourself • Constantly thinking about what's next • Forgetting when you last did something simply because you wanted to • Feeling flat or disconnected even when nothing seems “wrong” • Why you don't necessarily need to blow up your life to find yourself again • How asking “What do I want?” can start rebuilding self-trust • The small choices that can help you feel more present in your own life Kobi also shares her own experience of losing herself in motherhood, nursing, work and caring for everyone else and what happened when she finally had to stop and come back to herself. If you're a mum feeling overwhelmed, tired, reactive or like you're constantly holding everything together, Kobi introduces The Calm Mum Formula and invites you to join her FREE masterclass on Tuesday 13th October at 7pm. You don't have to wait until you're completely burnt out. You get to start now. Maybe it's time to stop just managing your life… and start actually living it. Questions to ponder... What is taking up space in my life that doesn't need to be there? What am I making harder than it needs to be? If I stopped asking what I SHOULD do and started asking what I WANT… what would change?

AI, Kids & Cyber Safety: Raising the Next Generation of First Movers | Yasmin London

What does it mean to raise children who can navigate an AI-driven world without losing their critical thinking, courage, connection and humanity? Perhaps even more importantly — how do we become first movers ourselves? In this episode of Out Of Her Mind, I'm joined by Yasmin London, author of First Movers, speaker, entrepreneur, former NSW Police Officer and founder of ySafe. Yasmin's career was profoundly shaped by an experience as a police officer when she was called to negotiate with a 14-year-old girl experiencing a suicidal crisis after severe cyberbullying. That moment changed the direction of her life and led her into the world of cyber safety, technology and ultimately courageous leadership. We talk about: AI and children — what parents need to know Cyberbullying and the real-world impact of online experiences How parents can have better conversations with their kids about technology Why banning technology isn't necessarily the answer Why we need to protect critical thinking and avoid outsourcing our thinking to AI Why women need to be part of the conversation about the future of technology What it means to stay human in an increasingly AI-driven world What Yasmin means by creating “First Movers”Her new and first book, First Movers, is ultimately about much more than AI. It's about courageous self-leadership. It's about recognising those moments when you know something needs to change, questioning the status quo, and having the courage to take that first step even when you don't feel completely ready. Because what if we stopped waiting for someone else to go first? What if we became the first movers? This is such an important conversation for parents, women and anyone trying to navigate a rapidly changing world while staying connected to who they are.

Your Life Doesn't Have to Be This Complicated | 5 Ways to Simplify Your Life

Do you ever feel like you're constantly moving from one thing to the next, trying to remember everything, making endless decisions and wondering why you're so exhausted? Your life doesn't have to be this complicated. In this episode of Out Of Her Mind, Kobi Pollock shares five simple ways to simplify your life, not by becoming a minimalist or doing less for the sake of doing less, but by removing the unnecessary friction that takes up your time, energy and attention. Kobi explores how to: Give everything a home so you're not constantly searching for things Reduce unnecessary decisions and decision fatigue Stop carrying your entire life around in your head Question what you actually need — including commitments you've said yes to Create more space and breathing room in your day This episode is about more than decluttering your house. It's about looking at your calendar, commitments, relationships, thoughts and expectations of yourself and asking: Does this actually need to be here? Because simplifying your life isn't about having less. It's about creating room for more presence, more connection, more family time, more laughter, more creativity and more of you. So don't try to change everything. Choose one thing. Take a breath, slow down and create a life that feels like yours.

What does stepping INTO YOUR POWERR actually mean?

What does it actually mean to step into your power? Is it about being more confident? Speaking louder? Achieving more? Or is it about becoming the woman you actually want to be, without dimming your light, people-pleasing, listening to limiting beliefs or living your life based on other people's expectations? In this episode of Out Of Her Mind with Kobi Pollock, Kobi explores what stepping into your power really looks and feels like, and why creating change starts with one thing: awareness. Kobi shares her own journey of stepping away from the version of herself who was afraid of judgement, played small and listened to the stories that told her what she couldn't do. She talks about: ✨ What stepping into your power actually means ✨ Why awareness is the first step to creating change ✨ How limiting beliefs and excuses can keep us stuck ✨ Why many of the beliefs we live by aren't actually ours ✨ How to start imagining the woman and life you truly want ✨ The importance of authenticity and self-trust ✨ Why you don't need to wait until you feel ready ✨ How surrounding yourself with the right women can help you grow ✨ Why “if nothing changes, nothing changes” Kobi also shares how she went from wanting to step away from nursing and build a business supporting women, to creating the life she had once only imagined. Because you are allowed to want more. You're allowed to change your mind. You're allowed to dream bigger. And you're allowed to create a life that actually feels like yours. The question is: what are you willing to look at and change? If you know something needs to shift in your life, this episode is your invitation to stop waiting and start taking action.

Your Breath Is Your Superpower: How Breathwork Can Help With Stress, Anxiety & Overwhelm

What if one of the most powerful tools you have for managing stress, anxiety, overwhelm and your nervous system is something you already have with you every single day? Your breath. We all know how to breathe automatically but there is a difference between simply breathing and understanding how to use your breath intentionally. After her recent Out Of Her Mind Women’s Retreat, Kobi reflects on the incredible connections created over the weekend and one of the biggest pieces of feedback she regularly hears from women after breathwork: “Wow, I didn't realise my breath could do that.” In this episode, Kobi explores: ✨ Why your breath can be such an accessible tool for supporting yourself when life feels overwhelming ✨ The connection between breathing and your nervous system ✨ Why learning to breathe intentionally is different from simply breathing ✨ How breathwork can help you pause, ground yourself and reconnect with your body ✨ Why practicing when you're calm can help you build the habit before you really need it ✨ The importance of slowing down and becoming aware of your breath ✨ How learning these tools could create a ripple effect for your children and family Kobi also shares a simple practice you can start today: Three breaths, three times a day. Because your breath is free. It's portable. It's always available. And you already have it. Kobi is also creating a new resource to help women learn how to harness this incredible tool: 3 MINUTES BACK TO YOU: You don't need more time, you just need 3 minutes. The free tool you've been carrying with you your whole life but never learned how to use intentionally. The resource includes a learning video and workbook to help you understand your breath, practice intentional breathing and start using it as another tool to support yourself. Because: You already have the tool, now it's time to learn how to use it. Listen now and take a breath with Kobi.
