Choosing to blame others as the response to a situation, means that you are degrading yourself. You see, when we continuously blame others it can reinforce a negative self-image. It suggests that we view ourselves as a victim rather than someone who is in control of their life and who has the ability and power to make choices. Blaming others can se…

If there's one thing I've learned in my life, it's that managing your thoughts is the ultimate game-changer for life, for business, for relationships… Seriously, it's like having the control panel of your mind right there in your hands. Because here's the truth: if you're not actively taking charge of your thoughts, then they are taking charge of y…

Woody Allen said, "The only thing standing between greatness and me, is me." We all have excuses - in fact I am the queen of excuses. Didn’t go to the gym? I needed the lie in. Didn't do that networking event? I had to stay in and catch up on some programs. Ate too much? I was 'treating myself' (for the 6th day this week) Forget about motivation-…

It's funny how we often wrap ourselves in the warm, cozy blanket of our comfort zones, believing that it's our safe haven. But what if I told you that what you perceive as a comfort zone is actually just a cunning mirage and doesn't really exist? What am I talking about? Well, I've been banging on about how we must get out of our 'comfort zones' fo…

On August 21 2021 - 2 years ago at the age of 40 - I stopped drinking. I didn't put a time limit on it like I had done in the past, I literally just said to myself, "let's see what's possible". In today's episode I talk about my journey to giving up alcohol and how it took my a few years of the odd week and the odd month off the booze here and ther…

It's great to get out of your comfort zone, but there are occasions when we get this feeling and this experience of discomfort, and we have no idea of the impact that it will have later in our lives. The first time I ever went abroad, was when I was 18 and it was just 4 hours from the UK and I was with 21 friends, but I felt hugely homesick. At tha…

Today we are going to talk about learning, formal education, mindset and about how war shaped the world wide school system! When we are young we naturally do hard things: learning to walk, speaking in your mother tongue, and if you're in a developed country then almost 100% of us will be lucky enough to get a formal education by attending primary a…

I didn't consciously create change in my life until I was in my 30s. Don't get me wrong, I'd move jobs and cities, leave relationships, but all of this was done in silos, without any real strategy or game plan. So what changed? I did! I started reading books on personal development, listening to podcasts, attending seminars and hiring coaches of my…

The irony of the fact that I started writing this episode on procrastination in January 2020 (no I am not joking), and that I am only now getting round to publishing it, is not lost on me. I promise you, I did not do that on purpose, but now that I have done it - it's a GREAT example of procrastination. Procrastination is something that we all do, …

I'm betting that your weekdays are on point and are dialled in: you know exactly what you’re doing and when, you know what time you’re getting up what time you’re getting breakfast and it's the same for the rest of the family; you know what time you’re dropping the kids off and picking them up from school, at work you have all of your meetings sche…

When I was younger, my mother said to me "jealousy is one of the most useless emotions, it serves no purpose" and for a long time I agreed with her. Jealousy is such a negative emotion, it is often thought of as an emotion that is associated with envy, possessiveness, and mistrust amongst other things. We are taught from an early age that jealousy …

Many people think that self-doubt is just something that happens, that it's something that sneaks up on them. I used to think that too but then, after a lot of soul searching and some self-reflection I came to the realisation that Self-doubt is a choice, whether conscious or unconscious, it is a natural reaction to growth, it is, essentially the fe…

However: if you're ready for change, then keep listening. To change somet…

"If you do what you've always done, then you will get what you've alway gotten", Henry Ford (the famous car maker) first said this and and Tony Robbins - the world famous self help guru continues to perpetuate it.

The words that other people say to you may have the power to inspire, to excite, to compliment, to hurt...it's exactly the same with self talk: we talk to ourselves ALL of the time and some of us may not even know it. The question is: is your self talk positive or negative. How you talk to yourself MATTERS. It can help you to be your best, or it ca…

Routines are important, the better your routine, the better your habits, the better your life. One book that changed my life was The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod.

My parents always told me "if you can read and write then you can do anything"; maybe they were trying to get me to do my homework, or maybe they truly believe that (hint: it's both). I truly believe that if you can read and write you can do anything, for example, I went from being a waitress in a small Welsh village (which I loved), to being a mus…
