    On this week's Mojo Monday, Carly talks about performance anxiety, or what is sometimes knows as stage fright.

Carly explains what it is and provides some strategies to help manage it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Embracing Stress: Understanding Its Role and Building Resilience, with Professor Jeremy Jamieson– Part One

    In this enlightening conversation on hardiness, I sit down with Professor Jeremy Jamieson to delve into the intricate world of stress, mindset, and neuroscience. The discussion explores how our perceptions of stress can influence both mental and physical well-being and the potential for science to reshape these experiences. This session unpacks the ways in which mindset coaching can transform stress from a debilitating factor into a powerful tool for growth.   What You'll Learn: The Role of Stress: Discover why experiencing stress is essential for personal growth and peak performance, whether on the field or in everyday challenges like exams and job interviews. Mindset Matters: Learn how shifting your psychological orientation can have profound effects on your physiology and engagement with challenges. The Science of Stress Responses: Understand how chronic stress affects the brain, particularly through changes in the amygdala and frontal lobes, and how interventions like acceptance and commitment therapy can reverse some of these changes. Epigenetics Explained: Dive into how epigenetic factors play a role in stress responses, and the surprising ways stress can impact not just the individual, but subsequent generations. Mother-Baby Connection: Explore how a mother's stress levels can affect her child, reinforcing the subtle yet powerful ways in which our environments are communicated from parent to offspring. Neuroplasticity and the Brain: Gain insights into how the brain adapts and changes in response to stress, highlighting the potential for positive transformation. Key Takeaways: Stress should be viewed as a challenge to refine and expand our capabilities, rather than a purely negative experience. Transforming your mindset can significantly alter both your physiological responses and your overall engagement with life’s challenges. Genetic dispositions aren’t permanent; understanding and manipulating the epigenome can open pathways to healthier stress responses. The connection between mothers and their babies exemplifies how our nervous systems communicate stress, affecting development from a very young age. Neuroplasticity offers hope that we can rewire our brains through informed practices and change the path of our stress responses.

    The ABCD of True Resilience - Part Two

    Part Two of my conversation with  Dr. Alia Bojilova as we delve into the intricacies of resilience, offering valuable insights into the psychological and physiological aspects that contribute to personal and collective growth in challenging times. Our discussion covers a range of topics including belonging, curiosity, purpose, and drive as critical components of resilience. Through this engaging dialogue, we explore the dynamic interplay between self-awareness, community, and purpose, providing practical strategies to harness resilience effectively. What You'll Learn: Understanding Resilience: Dr. Bojilova and Dr. Taylor discuss how resilience is fuelled by a sense of belonging and purpose. They highlight the importance of being part of something bigger, with clear positive intent and shared values that sustain and enhance our capacity for life. Belonging and Identity: The conversation explores the profound impact of belonging not just to groups, but also to oneself. They emphasize the magic of defining personal values and purpose, which serve as a foundation for resilience. The Role of Curiosity: Curiosity is spotlighted as a vital component of resilience, offering a pathway to see seemingly insurmountable challenges as opportunities for exploration and growth. Purpose and Drive: Their dialogue underscores the significance of clear purpose as a precursor to drive, with motivation naturally following purposeful action towards meaningful goals. Physiological Resilience: Dr. Taylor stresses the importance of physical recovery and self-care as foundational elements of resilience, cautioning against the misconception of relaxation as genuine recuperation.   Key Takeaways: Stay Purpose-Driven: Purpose precedes drive, making it crucial to align your actions and goals with your core values and sense of meaning. Integrate Curiosity: Cultivate curiosity about yourself, others, and the world to keep your mind open and adaptable. Prioritise Recovery: Ensure that rest and rejuvenation are integral parts of your routine to sustain long-term resilience.

    Mojo Monday - Fear is Not a Time to Freeze: It’s a Time to Listen and Show Up

    In this week's Mojo Monday, Carly talks about fear as an example of finding emotional balance. There is always a message in our emotions, but we often aren't listening. When we do listen, we find that even our most intense emotions are pointing us to what we deeply care about. From there, we have a compass to point us to the path to take and how we can show up fully, even when we feel like running the other way.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Drawing from her extensive experience wotking with the SAS in New Zealand and her new book, "The Resilience Toolkit," Dr. Bojilova shares her profound insights on resilience as a dynamic, necessary process rather than a fixed trait.

Facing Challenges: Hear about Dr. Bojilova’s life-defining experience in Syria, which underscores the significance of staying composed and responsive under pressure. Responding vs. Reacting: Learn strategies for developing the ability to respond to life’s challenges with intentionality rather than merely reacting.   Key Takeaways: Resilience is a Process: It's essential to view resilience as an ongoing journey that involves nurturing and developing through life experiences. Awareness is Key: Being present and clear about our goals is crucial. It requires intentionality in our responses to the challenges we face. Belonging Matters: A strong sense of belonging and shared purpose can significantly impact our ability to handle stress and adversity.
