Episode Summary:
We’re just past the halfway point of the year. This is the perfect moment to decide: do we let our goals slide, or do we reset our energy and realign with what truly matters to us?

Why a Mid-Year Review Matters:
A mid-year review allows us to pause and reflect on the journey so far. It’s about recognizing both the hard parts and the successes, holding ourselves with the same compassion we’d offer a friend. This is not just about setting new goals; it’s about aligning with our deepest desires and being gentle with ourselves.

Introducing the Compassionate Approach:
In this episode, I dive into how to conduct a compassionate mid-year review that helps you realign and rise for the rest of the year. We’ll explore practical steps and reflective questions designed to guide you through this process with empathy and self-compassion.

Key Topics:
Reviewing your progress with a kind heart.
Reflecting on your experiences and feelings to date.
Realigning your goals and intentions to match your energetics.
Strategies to reset and refocus for the second half of the year.
How to lean into growth and rise to your potential.

Listen Now:
This is your chance to reset and rise with renewed energy and intention. Let’s make the rest of the year count.

Have you ever noticed how some weeks you’re in a flow state, effortlessly getting things done, while other weeks your mind is constantly task-switching like a clown with too many balls in the air?

As a coach, I'm passionate about helping people be intentional about where they put their energy and attention each day, week, and beyond. Personally, I've noticed a big difference when I don’t do my planning!

In my Hatchery membership—a program for learning, growth, and connection—we often hold weekly and monthly primer sessions to set ourselves up for success and to live with intention.

Starting your day or week with momentum can set the tone for a productive and fulfilling time ahead. Here are some strategies to help you achieve that sense of flow and purpose:

Identify Something Important but Not Urgent: Ask yourself, "What is something important but not urgent that I could do today?"

Focus on Your Top 3 Priorities: "What are the top 3 things you want to achieve today?"

Practice Daily Gratitude: Reflect on, "What am I grateful for today?"

Create White Space: Consider, "How can I create white space in my day?"

By identifying important but not urgent tasks, focusing on top priorities, practicing daily gratitude, and creating white space, you can start your day or week with a strong sense of momentum and flow. These practices help create a balanced, fulfilling life and keep you moving steadily toward your bigger goals.

What are some of your daily or weekly habits that help you get into momentum and flow?

Want to experience greater growth and quality of life?

Then look at the questions you ask yourself, especially when comparing to others.

Theodore Roosevelt said, “Comparison is the theft of joy.” This is concerning, considering most of us spend hours scrolling and comparing our lives with the lives of others online, often unconsciously.

How much joy is getting stolen?

Without realising it, comparison imprints and leaves us with thoughts such as:
‘I’m am I not where I should be’
‘Why am I not where they are’
‘I’m not achieving enough’
‘Why am I stuck’

The problem is these questions don’t move you forward; they keep you where you are.

Today, in this short 11.11 min audio (how cool is that number), I share 4 powerful questions that move you out of comparison and not-enoughness and into growth and momentum.

This morning I had the great pleasure of being interviewed by the fabulous Lysa Black on the Feminine Rebellion.

I share my personal story about going through midlife, hitting rock bottom and how I navigated this challenging yet awakening time through deep inner work and compassion.

We talk:

Leaning into our personal evolution
Shifting from hate to compassion
Why midlife is your invitation to transform
Recognising our self-protective parts through IFS (Internal Family Systems)

How spaciousness and community can inspire powerful evolution

From my heart to yours.
