    Did you know that that 75-80% of our thoughts are negative? And that 95% of those thoughts are repetitive? That’s what psychologists and neuroscientists tell us. That we think about the same negative or worried or stressful things over and over. Does that surprise you? My hot tip today is to start to address this negative bias in a fun, simple way. Enjoy!

    Fed up with missing the party? Here's my 3 top party tips

    Do you ever feel you're different from other women, because you just don’t enjoy big parties or events? Wondering why you're not excited when invited to a party or BBQ? Fed up with freaking out and missing the event when others are excited to have a good time? If you feel lonely because you're staying home rather than going out, you may think it’s because there's something wrong with you. The time comes for the party and you just want to stay home and watch your favourite show. But if you keep staying at home and not socialising, you'll stay lonely and isolated I've been coaching women over the last 5 years, and one thing I love is to help women like you to overcome the social isolation. Join me as I tell you about a client who struggled with going out. ANNOUNCING TODAY: I'm opening up 4 spaces in my Shy to Shining program in November, and 4 spaces in December. And if you join my challenge and answer the two feedback questions, there's 20% discount on the program in November and 10% discount in December. Here's a link to my calendar to book a free clarity call, to explore whether this program is right for you: https://BookwithCarolyn.as.me/ClarityCall Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

    Do you feel the tension?

    Do you feel the tension? When you pause, do you feel it? Like you’re always busy? Always on the move? Like you’re in a race, rushing towards an unseen goal, and you don’t even know where you’re going? You feel that life is whizzing by. That there are so many expectations and demands from all angles. That you’re expected to be a successful career woman, a caring and supportive Mum, a sexy and attentive partner, a helpful daughter, a fabulous friend, and a social media star – all the while running the household smoothly (shopping, cooking, paying bills, washing, cleaning, tidying) ... Woah! And yet, I deeply believe that your one precious life is not meant to lived running on a treadmill, feeling exhausted but pushing on regardless. I believe that it is possible to live with joy and ease, with humour rather than frustration, with flow rather than stress, with lightly held structure rather than overwhelm. Join me as we explore this today. P.S. Want to learn simple tools to build calm and conversational confidence? For free? The challenge starts 13 November 2022, and videos can be watched anywhere any time. They will be available to watch for free until 9am 28 November 2022 (Sydney, Australia time) For more info and to join in, here’s the link: https://www.subscribepage.com/fabfestive1 P.P.S. Remember - Be kind to yourself and trust you can handle it, to enjoy the ride!
