Mission Imperfect: navigating life with coaches Kirsty and Kathryn

Mission Imperfect is a podcast about finding your own path, your own way, and embracing the imperfections of the journey. Hosts Kathryn Ball and Kirsty Brunker are both former HR professionals turned life coaches, with a spooky amount in common beyond initials and career choices…not least, a love of tea and biscuits, and a fascination with mindset and navigating the messiness of life. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to grab a cuppa and a biscuit and join us in getting lost in finding ourselves.

    The 12 Days of Christmas!

    Something a little different for Christmas Day and the lead-in to the new year: inspired by the 12 days of Christmas, we have a series of coaching questions for you, (very) loosely connected to the days of the song. Don’t worry: there’s no singing from us…relief all around! Today’s (last!) question for you to mull over and which we also answer in the episode: ‘Which of the suggestions for the 12 days of Christmas do you definitely want (or don’t want) to do?’ Here's a copy of the 12 days of Christmas 'worksheet' with all the questions we ask during the episode: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WgMhARI0ojz4jKQm89DKC8rLLnxJRKy6/view?usp=sharing Find us here: Kirsty: www.coachingbykirsty.co.uk                       Kathryn: www.kbmindfulcoaching.com And on social media here: Kirsty on Instagram - www.instagram.com/coachingbykirsty/ Kathryn on LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/kathryneball

    Selflessness

    The paradox of selflessness…we tie ourselves in knots considering how you’re supposed to give of yourself if you’re not supposed to have a self; ponder the middle ground between selfless and selfish (self-full??); discuss whether the practice of preventative mental and emotional self-care is really fully ingrained in society, and agree that giving of ourselves doesn’t mean sacrificing ourselves. We also use the word frippery, which should happen more often, and reference being burnt at the stake, which shouldn’t. Today’s question for you to mull over and which we also answer in the episode: Consider an area in your life where you’re feeling drained and resentful (or in danger of being so) by what you’re giving: what are you telling yourself about why you have to keep doing it, and how true is it?

    Comparisonitis

    It may not be in the dictionary – yet – but what we mean by ‘comparisonitis’ (comparing ourselves, mostly unfavourably, to others) is a trap we can often fall into! We discuss how comparisons start but how they actually provide an unhelpful and unfair measure of ‘how am I doing?’ – which is really the question we want to be answering.  Today’s question for you to mull over and which we also answer in the episode:  ‘If you find yourself comparing, what can you say to yourself that is helpful in that moment?’ Find us here: Kathryn: www.kbmindfulcoaching.com Kirsty: www.coachingbykirsty.co.uk And on social media here: Kathryn on LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/kathryneball   Kirsty on Instagram - www.instagram.com/coachingbykirsty/

    Stress-less Christmas

    Christmas = jolly, right?! As much as we love the word jolly (and roly-poly), we know that unfortunately the festive season can be a source of stress rather than joy sometimes. In this episode, we discuss some of those sources of stress, and more importantly what we can do to counter them. Also, Kirsty admits to sometimes being Scrooge (but that’s not a bad thing!), our views on Christmas games vary and we debate if biscuits can in fact be festive. Today’s question for you to mull over and which we also answer in the episode: ‘What will you say no to (or yes to) this festive season to reduce stress?’ Resources: Kathryn’s blogs on the December (mother)load: https://www.kbmindfulcoaching.com/post/lightening-the-december-mother-load and a stress free Christmas: https://www.kbmindfulcoaching.com/post/a-stress-free-christmas Find us here: Kathryn: www.kbmindfulcoaching.comKirsty: www.coachingbykirsty.co.uk And on social media here: Kathryn on LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/kathryneball Kirsty on Instagram - www.instagram.com/coachingbykirsty/

    Pause...

    The power of a pause is our topic this week – to rest, review, regroup, re-energise. In a busy world of ‘doing’, sometimes we need to take a pause, and it’s a great antidote to the ‘autopilot trap’. We discuss conscious awareness and when we might want to tune in and tune out in a moment of pause.  Today’s question for you to mull over and which we also answer in the episode:  ‘Where in your day to day life might pausing help you and what will help you pause?’ Find us here: Kathryn: www.kbmindfulcoaching.com Kirsty: www.coachingbykirsty.co.uk And on social media here: LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/kathryneball Instagram https://www.instagram.com/coachingbykirsty/

    Confidence

    If you’re waiting for the Confidence Fairy Godmother to wave her wand before you take action, then this is for you. We talk about the Confidence Catch-22 and the importance of various c-words (no, not that one – behave!) in building confidence: having the courage to start, offering yourself compassion as you learn, letting go of self criticism, and developing competence. Remarkably, we fail to mention biscuits…but Donald Trump crops up…we promise to try harder with the biscuits in future. Today’s question for you to mull over and which we also answer in the episode: Think of something you are confident doing - and then think ‘around’ it – has it always been this way? Why is that? What changed? And can you apply this to something in your life you’d like to feel more confident at?

    Self-Belief

    Is self-belief just another word for confidence? We think not! We explore the subtle differences and why it even matters in this week’s episode, plus what impacts our self-belief and how we can grow it, even later in life. Today’s question for you to mull over and which we also answer in the episode:  ‘What do you like most about yourself?’ Find us here: Kathryn: www.kbmindfulcoaching.com Kirsty: www.coachingbykirsty.co.uk And on social media here: Kathryn on LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/kathryneball   Kirsty on Instagram - www.instagram.com/coachingbykirsty/

    Resilience

    Talking about the right kind of resilience – ditching “manning up” and “bouncing back” in favour of Kathryn’s 4 step cycle, and Kirsty’s allowing-not-wallowing. Along the way, things get a tad biscuity. Today’s question for you to mull over and which we also answer in the episode: Recall a time when you demonstrated your resilience: what does that tell you about yourself?

    Transformation

    Transformation is one of those buzz words – especially in the world of coaching. Hear our take on what transformation in life coaching can be, in a good way! Clue – there’s no caterpillars or butterflies in sight – the transformation in you is about your thinking.   Today’s question for you to mull over and which we also answer in the episode:   ‘What thought about yourself do you want to transform – and what into?’   Find us here:   Kathryn: www.kbmindfulcoaching.com      Kirsty: www.coachingbykirsty.co.uk   And on social media here:   Kathryn on LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/kathryneball    Kirsty on Instagram - www.instagram.com/coachingbykirsty/

    Perfectionism

    We discuss the imperfections of perfectionism (eg self-criticism, failure to act, burnout and a clone army); the possibility that doing our best is perfectly acceptable; the perfect storm of conditioning that creates perfectionism, and how embracing our imperfections can make us less imperfect. Along the way, we confirm that Kathryn looks human, and discover that Kirsty says ‘absolutely’ way too much. Today’s question for you to mull over and which we also answer in the episode:  What’s your favourite imperfection?

    Mission Imperfect: introduction

    A warm welcome to our podcast – Mission Imperfect: navigating life with coaches Kirsty and Kathryn. So who are we? We’re both former HR professionals, mums, and now life coaches, but we are definitely two people, living in London and Devon respectively. We love tea and biscuits and talking all about the messiness of life, and finding your own path through it, imperfectly but your way. In this brief intro episode we introduce ourselves, discuss why we decided to do a podcast, what our intentions are for our listeners and how we hope you will enjoy our imperfect musings over the upcoming topics.
