Probably influenced by the rainy weather today, and having had a wonderful weekend out & about – I'm not feeling it. So today I'm exploring how to get out of the feeling "bleh". You may choose to indulge yourself, or shift – by changing track or just getting over yourself. Which is what I've been doing by recording this podcast. What's resonating w…

Today's topic has been requested by Vanessa, one of my amazing peeps in the Own Your Awesome Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/OwnYourAwesome/ Do you feel like you've got "too many competing thoughts, too few hours child-free?". Then you're not alone. It's easy to fall into the trap of having a to do list that's far too long, and…

You truly have it all! You can feel confident, and certain, and determined whenever you need it. It's just that fear & worry is more easily accessible, and confidence, trust and certainty is just as available – you just have to choose it. (wow, a lot of 'justs' in this sentence #heyho) I'm sharing how you create your competitive edge by looking ins…

What if true contentment and confidence comes from giving yourself the kind of love, energy & attention you're hoping from your environment. This was triggered by me bumping into a friend of mine, and me following my instinct to ask for a hug. Luckily she was glad to oblige. But what about hugging ourselves? I've been giving myself a daily hug as p…

Today's podcast is fuelled by this quote: "If you were able to believe in Santa Claus for 8 years, can you believe in yourself for 5 minutes?" Since most of us have lost their innate believe in themselves, how about re-setting our habits to start believing in ourselves again, 5 minutes at a time? What will be possible if you started to believe in y…

Sometimes all you need it a little structure, like an admin day. Or you need to print off a calendar to plan the next 7 weeks before the kids break up for the summer holidays. Or a calendar to help plan the kids' summer holiday with the intention to create amazing memories. What is a big or small way you can create more of the good business or life…

I'm recording this on a Friday evening, and I invite you to breathe! To allow the moment to just be. And take it further, by asking yourself: what have you done this week that you're proud of? Where have you pushed yourself outside of your comfort zone? Where have you acted or reacted in a way that you feel chuffed about? Take some time to just be,…

Today I'm reflecting on how to gradually reprogramme yourself, change your habits, and turn into the person who you know you can be, and create the life that you dream of living. Making that conscious decision to commit to the new programme, noticing how the old beliefs manifest in your body, how the old beliefs are enforced by certain thoughts, an…

I went climbing with my kids today. And I tried, and I did get to the top. And I also didn't like it enough to do it more. No, that's not entirely true. I internally argued with myself why I didn't like it, and nearly talked myself into needing to push through, try again, and 'make' myself like it. We then went bouldering, and in contrast I liked i…

Last week was a BIG week, what with my talk at the SHEnetWORKS event in the morning, and my Idea Party on Friday. It taught me that I can trust myself and the universe. And that even when it feels like a lot of work, and not a lot of bookings, that it all is perfectly as it is. And so it was. So, where could you bring more trust, so that the intrin…

Asking for what you want, or need can feel vulnerable. Too often we don't make the time to get clear on what we want or need. Nor do we ask for it nearly often enough. At today's Idea Party we invited everyone to state a dream, wish, idea or goal, and also what is stopping them from doing, being or having it. This is such a powerful exercise, to as…

Today was my talk at the SHEnetWORKS in Henley, I explored what it means to BE THE BEST YOU. What would happen if you DECIDED that you would succeed, and have fun. That was what happened to me with today's talk: I decided to get out of the way of the message, and had fun delivering it. I decided to let my entertainer 'me' come out and play. To deep…

In preparation for my talk tomorrow at the SHEnetWORKS in Henley (get your ticket here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/shenetworks-henley-tickets-61258826800), I explore what it means to BE THE BEST YOU. How closely is BEING YOUR BEST related to FEELING BEST? Can you feel worst while knowing you're being your best, or becoming your best? I'm sharin…

Typically you think writing all the emails, blog or social media posts is what will get you to your goals. What I find though is that the REAL work is twofold: listen to what your soul wants, and doing the things that you want to do least! It's the work that you KNOW you need to do, but it feels uncomfortable, and is hard. THIS is the work! Listen …

Yesterday I run a 10k race. It was tough. Learn about my learnings and parallels I drew from running a long-ish race and applying it to business. To help you find an accountability partner, and generally a supportive tribe, do join us for one or both of these events: SHEnetWORKS on May 23rd at 9.30am in Henley-on-Thames IDEA PARTY on May 24th at 10…

As I'm recording this podcast from a walk in the woods, I share how Owning Your Awesome might look like. It can be gigantic steps, or can be tiny ones. It is usually something that will feel challenging. Like me sharing with 50-ish people at a new (for me) networking event (3FM in Henley) about the two events I'm speaking at/running (SHEnetWORKS on…

With my shoes & socks off and feeling the ground under my feet, we're exploring the possibility, and what it takes to BE awesome. If you want to read more about the mentioned blog article "What does it mean to Own Your Awesome", and the ways to find and own your awesome, read on here: https://www.thecarolamoon.com/articles/what-does-it-mean-to-own-…

After telling you how I typically podcast in bare feet, I share how I struggled with a 10k run on Sunday. How I got inspired to run while listening to audio (podcasts of course!) and how today's run was so much better. The other differences was that I ordered myself to ignore any insights into my average pace: I decided success today is to run my 1…

On this sunny afternoon I'm asking: Are you talking yourself out of your dreams? Is your inner dialogue telling you that your dreams are maybe too big? That the timing might not be right? That you might not have the right to have such big dreams? That you don't have all it takes to make this happen? There is nothing more important than you sticking…

In Episode 5 of the Podcast I shared how it's not a good idea to listen to Magic Bean Sellers. And instead listen in to your own answers. Truth is though, that we're all Magic Bean Sellers. We all sell services, solutions or products. Or if not that, then we're selling to our kids that it's good to eat our greens. So, what was my point then? My poi…

If you've been following everyone else's advice without getting anywhere, you are in for a treat. Because there may be another, much more pleasurable way! There are so many people out there, who share their (apparent) path to success, the steps to how to achieve the client attraction or tribe creation. Their offering is often to give cheat sheets, …

How do you get the important stuff done? I'm sharing abut doing YOUR things first, before you tend to tending to your emails, checking facebook or reply to your WhatsApp message. I was inspired today by one of Kat Ruth's podcasts about how she tends to herself first: her journalling and self development, her messaging and selling and self care, bef…

In today's episode I'm sharing about not stopping at "I don't know", and NOT go to look for answers outside. Instead, use it as a trigger to spend time to dig deeper. Until your answer comes. Until your creativity comes out to play. You're invited to the IDEA PARTY I'm running on Friday May 24th from 10am-12noon in South Moreton. Get your tickets h…

Today I'm sharing with you how I got lost in the idea that magic bean sellers have all the answers for me, that I will be successful as long as I follow their processes and systems – and how I now know that it's the surest way to fall deeper into the trap of not creating and thriving in your soul-aligned business. I mention Elle J Tull, graphic des…

This morning I woke up with a start, worrying about how we're running out of time to choose our new bathrooms. I'm sharing how I calmed my thoughts, allowed myself to be in the now, and pivoted my thoughts to an entirely new angle. As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts, what resonated with you. Also, please share what you'd like me to talk abou…

What is it like to act from a place of KNOWING, from absolute clarity and certainty? I'm sharing my business pivot from personal brand photographer (back) to coach. How I'm going to act from a place of joy, and creation. And will run my business 'dancing like no one is watching'. My new website will soon be available at carolamoon.com and thecarola…

Are you a 'heady' person like me? Then listen to be inspired to explore what your body has to offer for you. Let me know how you experience being in your head, and your body, how you balance the two and stay connected to all you are? What has resonated with you from this episode? And share with me what you'd like me to cover in a future episode. Co…

In this episode I'm sharing what made me jump onto the Podcast train. The inspiration came from Lynsay Anne, who spoke at the recent Business Bootcamp organised by Ruth Kudzi. The other Podcasts I mentioned were: The Katrina Ruth Show, Rise Podcast by Rachel Hollis and The Mindaware Show with Dana Wilde. You can find me at: www.carolamoon.com Pleas…
