Ever felt overwhelmed by the pace and pressure of your role?
In this episode I’m joined by my client Jen Corkran, who opens up about stepping into a demanding new position and learning how to stay grounded, confident, and calm - even when everything around her felt fast and intense.
Jen shares the mindset shifts, practical tools, and self-care practices that helped her move from overwhelm to feeling capable, clear, and supported.
We talk about what it really looks like to “work lightly” in a high-pressure environment, and how you can begin applying these same principles in your own work and life.
If you’re craving more ease, balance in your day-to-day, this conversation will feel like a breath of fresh air.

Do you ever find yourself caught in cycles of worry — replaying the same thoughts, feeling tense, and struggling to find peace?
In this episode of Relaxed Woman, we’re talking about how to navigate worry — because worry is one of the biggest things that gets in the way of living lightly and feeling calm.
We’ll talk about:
- Why worry and peace can’t co-exist, and what to do when your mind won’t switch off
- The two-step approach to managing worries: validating your feelings and reframing your thoughts
- Simple belief statements you can use when fear keeps looping in your mind
- How to release what feels too heavy to carry on your own

Do you ever find yourself second-guessing, circling the same decisions, or waiting for perfect clarity before you move forward?
In this episode of Relaxed Woman, we’re exploring the practice of self-trust — the inner steadiness that allows you to feel clear and confident, even when you don’t have every answer.
We’ll talk about:
- Why clarity comes from self-trust, not more planning or overthinking
- How to strengthen self-trust through listening to your inner voice, keeping small promises, and honouring your boundaries
- What happens when we stop abandoning ourselves in difficult moments and begin to treat ourselves with kindness
If you’ve been stuck in indecision, overthinking, or self-doubt, this episode will remind you that you don’t need to have it all figured out before taking the next step.

Do you ever find yourself stressing about the future — wondering if you’re on the right path, waiting for a big vision, or feeling like you’ve somehow missed the memo on what you’re supposed to be doing?
In this episode of Relaxed Woman, we’re exploring the idea of breadcrumbs — the small, faithful steps that guide us forward and build confidence along the way.
We’ll talk about:
- Why clarity rarely comes as a grand, five-year plan — and why that’s a good thing
- How noticing and honouring the small nudges in front of you creates momentum and direction
- Why uncertainty isn’t a problem to solve but an opening for possibility
- The surprising ways breadcrumbs often show up — and why they don’t always look like the big vision you’re chasing
If you’ve been feeling pressure to have it all figured out, this episode will remind you that you don’t need the full map — you just need to follow the next breadcrumb.

Do you ever feel like you should be thriving all the time — and if you’re not, you must be doing something wrong?
In this episode of Relaxed Woman, we’re talking about what it really means to honour the season you’re in — and why peace comes not from pushing harder, but from letting go of unrealistic expectations.
We’ll talk about:
- Why carrying expectations from a past season into the present sets us up for frustration and burnout
- How surrendering to your current capacity actually restores your energy and prepares you for what’s next
- The cultural pressure to “always be thriving,” and why it’s okay to have seasons of restoration, not just growth
- Simple ways to find joy, gratitude, and fulfillment — even in seasons that feel quieter or slower
If you’ve been fighting against your limits or feeling like you’re falling behind, this episode will remind you that every season has value — and peace is found in embracing the one you’re in right now.

Do you ever find yourself believing that everything depends on you — that if you stop, things will fall apart?
In this episode of Relaxed Woman, we’re exploring the practice of rest — not as laziness or avoidance, but as a powerful posture of trust.
Rest isn’t wasted time; it’s often the very space where peace, provision, and clarity flow in ways we can’t manufacture on our own.
We’ll talk about:
- Why constant busyness keeps us stuck in fear and striving
- How rest expands our capacity, heals our nervous system, and reminds us we’re already enough
- The cultural pressure to “always be growing” — and why honouring your season brings more joy and freedom
- Why rest can feel uncomfortable at first, and how to gently retrain your body and mind to embrace it
- A faith perspective on rest as trust — and how letting go invites supernatural provision beyond what we can achieve alone
If you’ve been carrying the weight of the future on your own shoulders, this episode will remind you that rest is a way of saying: the weight isn’t yours to carry alone.

Do you ever find yourself waiting for peace — telling yourself, “Once things calm down, once I’ve got more clarity, then I’ll finally feel settled”?
In this episode of Relaxed Woman, we’re exploring what it means to choose peace instead of waiting for it — and how peace can become an everyday practice, even when life still feels uncertain.
We’ll talk about:
- Why waiting for life to be “sorted” before we feel peace keeps us stuck in frustration
- How conflict in relationships can rob us of peace — and why choosing peace over being right creates more stability and joy
- The “sliding doors” moments throughout the day where we can either nurture peace or chip away at it
- Simple practices to calm the mind and interrupt spirals of overthinking
- The deeper peace that steadies us beyond our circumstances
If you’ve been feeling pulled in a hundred directions, this episode will remind you that peace isn’t something you have to wait for — it’s something you can choose, one moment at a time.

Do you ever feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders?
Many women today feel tired, burnt out, and overwhelmed by all the responsibilities in their lives.
But what if there was another way?
In this episode of Relaxed Woman, I’m exploring the power of surrender — what it really means to let go, release control, and find peace.
We’ll talk about:
- How surrender not only lightens the load but often opens the door to clarity, rest, and even miraculous provision.
- Personal stories from my business and family life — including my Dad’s healing journey after being given just six months to live
- A simple prayer you can use when you find yourself picking control back up again
If you’re tired of carrying it all in your own strength, this episode will remind you that you don’t have to hold it together alone.

On this episode I dive deep into the concept of 'the waiting season,' a period of life where we find ourselves waiting for a desired outcome such as a job, relationship, or clarity of some kind.
There are challenges and fears that accompany this season but it also holds an important purpose.
This episode includes personal anecdotes and stories from some of my clients who have patiently waited for an outcome (and received their breakthrough) and what they learnt in the process.
On this episode I encourage you to trust the process, embrace the growth and learnings that come with waiting, and to rely on faith rather than self-effort.
You'll receive actionable guidance on how to find peace and purpose during this time and learn how to stay hopeful and expectant.

"Bringing doubt to your doubt" is a method I use for challenging negative thoughts.
Rather than accepting every thought as a truth, it's important to learn to question our doubts, and go and look for evidence in our lives as to why it's possible for us to have / achieve the things we desire.
This episode will teach you a simple process to do this & help you overcome those doubtful thoughts and anchor into greater self belief and confidence.

The truth is, we can’t live and work in a lighter way when our body is under sustained stress.
But stress can be sneaky! It can often show up in ways that we don’t necessarily attribute to stress.
These more subtle signs (like procrastination, people pleasing or busyness) are actually attempts by your body to seek a feeling of safety, because it’s feeling threatened or unsafe in some way.
Once we understand this, we can learn to meet that need in a more supportive way.
This is what magically shifts these patterns and moves you into a feeling of flow in your life.
This is how we can start living and working in a much lighter way.
This episode discusses:
How our nervous system responds to stress through "fight, flight, freeze or fawn" responses. Understanding which response you relate to can provide insight into how your body is communicating feelings of stress.
What the patterns of people pleasing, procrastination and busyness are trying to communicate to you
Listeners are invited to identify their most common stress response and contact Annabelle for a personalised voice note with tailored tips to support that response and help the body find safety (and therefore a lighter feeling).

Welcome to my brand new mini series - Living and Working Lighter.
This is Part 1!
Living and Working Lighter creates so much more spaciousness, ease and enjoyment in our lives and allows us to be less attached to the goings on at work.
Inside this first episode I’m sharing about how we can create a more clear distinction between work & home life.
I’ll be sharing some of my favourite ways to “decompress” at the end of the day.
Apply these decompressing techniques and you’ll find your body feels so much more relaxed at the end of the day.
You’ll have more energy & brain space too!
Dropping out of that worky, masculine energy and into a softer, more present feminine energy, fosters a deeper connection and intimacy in your relationships as well.

Welcome to the first episode of the new year, inside this episode I’m discussing the natural inclination to reassess our career paths at this time of the year.
Should you stick out your current role (or situation) or make a leap of faith into something new?
We’re discussing how to move through a decision making process about whether your current job aligns with your goals and wellbeing.
This same rationale also applies to decision making about anything in life!
Here are some takeaways:
- If you’re thinking of leaving, how to make empowered job decisions and the role mindset and self belief plays in this
- Cultivating an abundant mindset to open doors to new opportunities in life and work
- Discovering the hidden gifts within challenging work relationships and how these situations can be opportunities
- Leaving Versus Changing: We explore the idea that sometimes the solution isn't necessarily leaving a job but rather changing how we interact with our roles and work environments. This shift in perspective can lead to a more fulfilling experience without the need for a drastic change.
- Creating a healthier relationship with work and creating stronger work boundaries

Inside this episode I’m taking you through my End of Year Ritual.
It's a super simple process and a really lovely way to close out the year + welcome in a new one.
We often race into the new year looking ahead, but forget to look back and take stock of how far we've come and what we have taken from the year.
There’s wisdom and gold that your year has provided you with, that is going to support you in the new year and it needs to be acknowledged to activate it
Recognising, acknowledging and reflecting on your year, helps you set goals and intentions from a ‘full’ place - which makes all the difference.
Tune into to learn this process + experience it for yourself.

Without knowing it, we can externalise our sense of confidence and self belief.
....meaning we rely on the positive feedback or approval from others in order to feel stable and confident in ourselves and what we are contributing.
It’s a challenging place to live and work from.
It sends us on an emotional rollercoaster - we get a boost or lift when we receive the feedback or praise we desire, and then we don’t, it can send us into a spiral of second guessing ourselves and our value.
Inside this episode I’m discussing:
- How to break free from the cycle of seeking external validation
- How to be your own source of approval which will lead to greater feeling of stability and ease in your work life (and life overall!) and dramatically grow your confidence and self belief.
- A really powerful weekly reflection practice that will really help you embed all of this + more.

What if all the pressure, stress, and baggage associated with goal setting and resolutions were completely unnecessary? What if there was a different way to envision our year ahead and set our intentions, one that made the process feel lighter, more fun and focused on the journey not just the achievement?
Join me inside this episode to learn a whole new perspective on resolutions and goals.
Inside this episode we discuss:
- Rethinking goals and resolutions and the way we approach them
- The importance of understanding the “unconscious agreements” we often have with goals (and how this makes it hard to set them, stick with them and achieve them)
- Why approaching goals and resolutions with a solid foundation of “I am already enough” is key
- Journaling prompts and questions to help create clarity on what you want and what’s true for you in 2024
Journaling Prompts from the episode:
Is this my goal or is it someone else’s? Does this feel true for me or do I feel like I should be working towards this?
Because I know I’m already enough, with absolutely nothing to prove to myself or anyone else…
What feels good for me to focus on this year?
What feels important/ nourishing / fulfilling for me this year?

Does embracing femininity at work mean that you have to sacrifice success?
Inside this episode, my client Katie Rodwell and I discuss this common misconception and how a shift towards embracing feminine energy can lead to both personal and professional success.
Katie’s journey is a testament to the power of feminine energy, and the transformation that can occur when you trust in your skills and abilities.
Inside this episode we discuss:
- How Katie transitioned from burnout and working too much from her masculine to a more relaxed state
- Challenging the idea that working from a lighter feminine energy means sacrificing success and achievement
- Practical advice on how to trust your instincts, say yes or no to decisions, and access your true feelings beneath the mental chatter
- How she made the shift to work much more from her feminine + saw opportunities flow in
- Practices she uses on a daily basis to embed all of this and more that you can use too.

Inside this episode I’m having a conversation with my lovely client, Nicole Hungerford. Wife, Step-Mum and Manager at an IT company based in Wellington.
In this honest and open conversation, Nicole speaks to the struggles that many of us face as women at work and in leadership roles.
She discusses how she has not only moved through these, but also transformed her confidence and shifted and expanded the perception she has of herself as a manager and leader.
In this episode we discuss:
- Why it’s so important that we have open conversations about self doubt at work and start to normalise these tendencies
- Her own journey with self doubt and finding her place at work, as well as the pressure to measure up to expectations, both from herself and her team
- The struggles she’s had delivering unpleasant news to people she manages (especially as a recovering people pleaser!)
- The key shifts she has made to feel more comfortable and confident within herself at work
- Why using emotional release techniques has levelled out her emotions and enabled her to tap into more stability and happiness
- The power of belief work and shifting your self talk and how it has boosted her self esteem and self belief
- Tips and techniques that are now daily practices for her (that you can use too)
- Some honest insights into working together 1:1 and what it has created for her and more.

In this short and sweet episode I'm discussing a simple practice will build your faith and bring so much peace and ease into your life.
We can often find ourselves living from a place of worry - what's next? How is that going to happen for me?
We might manifest something and then we start to worry about the next thing.
Life can become this treadmill of stress and tension.
In this episode I'm sharing why and how I keep a manifesting journal.
Start this practice and really watch how you begin to relax and how a softness returns to your body.
You'll feel a greater sense of peace as you go about your day and your life.
There is something bigger than you that's listening to your prayers and is aware of what you need and is willing to provide for you. This practice will help you return to this knowing.

Inside this episode I’m sharing an excerpt from a recent coaching call from my mastermind program, Elevate.
I’m answering a question from one of our beautiful clients in the program who was feeling as though she was tapped into lots of information and even though it was all positive content, it was overwhelming her.
My coaching covers:
- Why it’s so important to decrease our “inputs” when we want to receive guidance on specific questions such as "what do I need to do?" or "what's next for me?"
- Creating space to “hear” and connect more clearly with our intuition

This episode is from a free live coaching call I hosted. on 23rd July.
I loved connecting with those that were there live and the questions that were asked.

Here’s some of what came through inside the session:
- How to move through a block to moving forward with a new business idea
- Letting go of the ‘fear of being seen’ with this new idea (especially by friends and family)
- The importance of small, steady steps when we are doing new things
- Being a Mum and coming to a place of acceptance around the choice to work or stay at home
- How judgements of others or comparisons point us back to where we aren’t accepting a choice / something about ourselves
- Letting this season of life be enough

In this episode we are talking about the power of belief work.
+ how you can use it to change your results and transform your experience in life and in work.
Deep belief goes before us.
It fills the rooms and spaces that we work in. It’s what people feel from us even before we say a word.
It ‘speaks’ louder than experience and anything written on paper.
Belief creates opportunities. It draws in new jobs, clients and abundance.
Deep belief is what helps us feel safe and settled as we move beyond the confines of our comfort zone.
In this episode we’re discussing:
- How belief work can help you create and draw in more opportunities for yourself
- How it can change your experience in your work and career
- What it looks like to do belief work
- Some beliefs you can start working with to support yourself

When we work in a fast paced environment we are going to have a response to that, because we're a human being with a body (and we're not a robot!)
The degree to which we are taken out by stress at work though, is directly related to how well we can understand the unique ways our body responds and how well we can support ourselves through that.
In this episode I’m sharing:
- The 4 ways our nervous system shows us we are stressed
- How to identify the unique ways your body responds to stress
- How we can take care of our nervous system when we come under pressure
- What to do to to support ourselves i.e. how we can feel more relaxed, more at ease and more grounded (even when work feels challenging)

How would it feel to work in a way that made your body feel light and relaxed?
What would things change for you if you approached your work with deep self belief knowing you ‘belong in the room?’

My mastermind Elevate has opened for enrolment today.
It will help you achieve all of this & more.

It's really easy to be on our own side, to approve of ourselves when we are feeling good - when we're seeing things line up, opportunities are flowing into our life and we are feeling the way we want to.
But not every season of life feels this way.
Sometimes we get stuck in feelings of frustration, worry, or stress and others like these.
It's not the feelings themselves that make us feel stuck, it's our response to those feelings.
Inside this episode, I'm discussing:
- How to support yourself when you're moving through a season of feeling low, frustrated or stuck.
- The importance of validation
- What creates a true, authentic "high vibration".
- How to even out your emotional highs and lows.

What am I doing next?
Where am I heading?
How am I going to get there?
Perhaps there’s a feeling that where they're at right now doesn't feel quite right anymore, but you’re not totally sure on where to go from here.

I'm back from Maternity Leave and it's great to be back on the podcast recording a brand new episode.
It was comical (until it wasn’t!) how many times I tried to record this. I probably tried 6 times. Eloise woke from her nap every time.
Then my mentor Cassie Mendoza Jones said to me “just record it in the forest!” (a place I love to go walking)
So that’s exactly what we did and we got it done!
Episodes from here will sound different to the ones pre baby, probably more nature sounds, probably Eloise chatting away and the odd squawk and me slightly breathless while walking with a 6 month on my front!
But the heart and energy behind them are the same.
Here’s the latest episode.
-
A life and work update from me after baby,
-
How I’m working now
-
What my focuses and priorities are and upcoming projects.

This episode holds some deep reassurance and hopefully some relief for anyone who is currently in the middle of a change, considering making a change somewhere in their lives or a pivot in their career.
In this episode I’m chatting with my lovely client Sarah Vickers. Sarah is a Holistic Health Practitioner and this year I've been supporting her as she has moved from her job to starting her own business.
When we make a move like this and move from what we know (what's familiar) to unfamiliar it can bring up a lot of "stuff" for us.
Fear and self doubt is a normal part of the process.
In this episode we discuss more about Sarah's journey and what has helped her navigate this period of change in an easier way.
In this episode we discuss:
- The process of stepping from what we know (familiar) into the unfamiliar
- Why you don't need a 5 year plan or full certainty before you begin
- Why it's not a problem to not have full sight on the future
- Navigating fear and worry when we’re doing something new
- Creating expansive and amazing results without heavy structure (while still maintaining your ambition)
- Anchoring into deep trust and faith
- Connecting to something bigger than you and allowing yourself to be guided
- How we can support ourselves when we're stepping into the new
and more…

Do you ever go to sit down, or book a massage or even go on holiday...
and in those moments or experiences that are *supposed * to feel good, you end up feeling quite uncomfortable?
We can often find in moments of rest that our overthinking cranks up, we can start ruminating about the past or projecting into the future.
The truth is, rest is uncomfortable for many of us.
But when we feel tired, burnt out, or exhausted how do we make this more of a priority and actually enjoy the things that we know help us feel more rested?
In this episode, I'm sharing all about this + more.

Recently I sat down with my client Ashlee Rose and recorded a conversation about leadership, feminine energy + approaching work from a place of knowing your worth.

A fun and inspiring conversation with my former client Double Olympian Chloe Tipple.
Chloe is a two-time Olympic Skeet Shooter who has pursued an international shooting career for 10+ years.
When Chloe and I first met she was struggling with knowing what she wanted, what her future vision was + felt like getting approval from other people was holding her back and creating a lot of confusion.
Chloe is super successful, yet people pleasing was holding her back. I know many of us can relate!
On Episode 19 we’re discussing some of her most important realisations and learnings from our journey together.
We discuss:
- The most important steps to take to come out of the cycle of people pleasing
- The power of inner child work
- The connection between knowing what you want + people pleasing
- Changing where / how we get our approval and validation
- What to do we you sense other people’s disapproval
- Why the goal is not caring at all about other people’s approval, but rather - knowing you’ll be okay either way

When we set out to do something new - naturally the first question that comes to mind is: “But HOW will i get there?”
We try to look for all the external steps to get us there.
(Cue - overwhelm and a lot of self doubt)
I want to offer you a different perspective: You don’t need to worry about ‘how’ you’ll get there.
When you do 2 very specific things, the steps you’ve been searching for will naturally find you.
This episode would be great for you if you've been searching for answers, or you’re trying to figure out how to make something happen in your life.

Do you have a desire to step into something new?
Perhaps it's a new way of working, a new career path, a new business or something else 'new' that requires you to step from the familiar into the unfamiliar.
Initially we can feel excited about the prospect of doing something new, but then not long after we start to notice blocks that show up that can make it feel hard to get underway or create the consistent momentum we want.
What I find this can be often attributed to, is a deeper fear of being judged by others for doing the new thing.
This is especially true if people have known us as working in one particular area, or seen us do one thing our whole lives.
In this episode, I’m unpacking:
- What to do with the fear of being judged for doing something new
- How to process it and move beyond it
- How to not let it hold you back from stepping forward with confidence into the ideas, the path, the work that’s calling you forward.

Episode 1: Committing To The Changes You Want
Episode 4: Finding The Courage To Walk Your Own Path
Episode 10: Learning To Turn Towards Yourself
I recently posted something on social media that generated a lot of interest and discussion, so I wanted to expand on it inside this episode with you.
It was about my wedding day.
For a period of time, one part of my mind felt like I had felt the “wrong way” on my wedding day.
Unfortunately, culturally we are taught that when we go through big life events, that one emotion is acceptable and it’s normally just the positive one. This perpetuates a lot of self judgement and can be incredibly harmful.
This can show up for us in so many ways - when we get a new job, get married or engaged, have babies, move countries and so many more.
This episode is going to be some beautiful medicine for you if you feel like you’ve gone through some kind of experience or a big life event and you felt differently to the way you thought you would.
I’m sharing all about my own experience, what I learnt and offering some guidance on how we can process these feelings and get to the absolute gold that awaits on the other side.

I'm hearing that for a lot of us this year, we want things to feel easier.
Less stress. Less pushing and overworking. More ease. More joy. More balance.
Does that sound like you?
I know this is a big part of my year in 2022.

I wanted to highlight what I think are 3 of the most important steps to creating more of this in your life in 2022.

Achieving what you want this year should not cost you your wellbeing or quality of life.
Have a listen to the episode and learn 3 important steps to wave goodbye to burn out this year and embrace an easier, more peaceful harmonious year.

In this episode I’m taking you through my end of year ritual that I do every year. It makes a huge difference in how I feel about myself and how I view the year that’s just been.
It’s also a great way to clear up any baggage from the year and finish feeling grateful, abundant and ‘full’.
How we end the year matters.
Often the default is to get to the end of the year and feel so exhausted by it all that we just drift through the last few weeks and want to file it away.
When we do this, we miss this beautiful opportunity to reflect on what this year has been about, to sit in the celebrations (big and small), and to really acknowledge where we have grown and what we have overcome.
Doing this type of intentional reflection will have huge impact on how you feel about the year ahead.
Complete this simple ritual on your own or get a group of likeminded friends and do it together!

Reclaiming our authenticity is like the ‘on switch’ to living & working from our personal power.
When we commit to being more of ourselves, it places us in the flow of life and in the flow of abundance and opportunities.
Over the years in my work, I’ve found that for almost all of us we are unconsciously hiding or suppressing certain parts of ourselves.
This can often be the underlying reason for why we feel stuck, don’t feel clear on what we want or generally feel like life has stagnated.
Inside this episode I’m discussing why it’s so important that we learn to identify which parts of ourselves we have been suppressing & why committing to reclaiming your authenticity will lead you to the changes you have been seeking in your life.
This clip is straight out of my digital course, Own Your Power.
I’ve designed Own Your Power with ambitious women in mind who are seeking tools and techniques to more fully own their expertise and live and work from a place of deep self belief.
I’ve filled the course with some of my most powerful techniques and condensed them down into an easily digestible digital course.

When you make a ‘mistake’, or feel like you’ve dropped the ball in some way how do you typically respond?
For a lot of us, it creates anxiety, overthinking, stress. We worry about how it makes us look or what others may think of us.
It feels very easy to 'turn against ourselves' in these moments and offload a ton of pressure & self-judgement.
This perpetuates an often unconscious cycle of not feeling good enough and needing to prove our worth.
Here's the thing - we don't want to make how powerful, stable or at ease we feel dependent upon other people's approval.
We need to know and feel connected to our personal power irrespective of what we do, or how we are being perceived by others.
Inside this episode, I'm discussing a habit I call “Turning Toward Yourself”.
This clip is taken straight out of my brand new digital course, Own Your Power.
Own Your Power has been specifically designed for ambitious women who are wanting to more fully own their expertise and work towards what they desire from a place of deep self belief.
Own Your Power is a beautiful combo of inner healing work, emotional and energetic clearing techniques. I’ve condensed down some of my most powerful techniques into an easy to digest, self paced digital course.

You might be waiting on
clarity on your next steps
your purpose
a financial situation to change
a new relationship
a health issue to resolve
the breakthrough you've been wanting in your career
We are all waiting on something.
How often have you got discouraged about a desire or dream because you feel it's not happening fast enough?
There’s often a space we have to sit in before the external manifestation arrives. I call this space, the Waiting Room.
It can be a space we experience a lot of doubt and fear, but it doesn’t have to be.
Inside this episode, I'm sharing how to:
- Navigate periods of 'waiting' from a place of trust and confidence
- Feel more content and at ease as you wait for the things you desire to come into your life
- Let go of rushing through life and appreciate where you are
- Stay in a place of belief & keep your faith high
I hope this episode serves as a powerful encouragement for you to stay content and full of belief as you create what you desire in your life.

We are surrounded by cultural messages today that bigger is always better.
That to be worthy, we must go for that next level of success.
That we should always want MORE.
That in order to be doing something of value it must be big, bright and sparkly.
For a lot of us, the pursuit of ‘big’ can be exhausting and completely drain our energy.
Inside this episode I'll be sharing:
-
Why bigger is not always better when it comes to what you are creating or working towards in your life
-
How the pressure to go 'big' has showed up for me in my work and business (and what I focus on now instead)
-
Giving yourself permission to go for what feels right for you (no matter how it might appear to the outside world)
-
What the 'training ground' is & why it's vital in setting us for what's to come next
-
How to get off the ‘I’m not there yet’ train and discover what life is asking you to do right now that will actually get you 'there'.
Sometimes we go through periods of our lives where we think we should be somewhere other than where we are.
Maybe for you, you know a change needs to happen but you can’t see what, or how.
You’ve been doing 'all the things' yet the outcome or result is yet to materialise.
Nothing drains our power, confidence and energy like the pattern of thought that we are ‘behind’ or ‘should be further ahead’.
It’s a common story a lot of us can tell and I’ve absolutely fallen in and out of periods of thinking the same.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s the truth though: you are always actually where you’re supposed to be, even if it looks different to what you had envisioned or the timeline you had in your mind.
Inside this episode, I’ll be discussing:
- How to embrace where you are, whilst holding the vision for something more
- Letting go of the pressure (and stress) of trying to be somewhere else
- Leaning on the Universe and allowing yourself to be supported with what you need
- How to trust your path & the unique journey that’s unfolding for you
- The 2 practices I use each day to relax, feel safe & find peace as my path unfolds

There’s that quote we see floating around social media “your dreams won’t work unless you do”
While there’s some obvious truth to that statement - I don’t believe that we have to sacrifice our well-being in order to achieve what we want.
Some of the most abundant and beautiful manifestations and outcomes have occurred in my life as a result of rest.
Self-nourishment is my secret life hack!
Do you worry about what might happen if you stepped back and slowed down? Would you still achieve? Would your manifestations arrive?
Have you got all of the tools and 'know how' but you find it hard to prioritize yourself?
Maybe you're craving more peace, the energy to be creative, or to be fully present with life - but your to-do list seems to get in the way
Here’s what we are talking about in this episode:
- How to release yourself from the hyper-masculine mode of hustling and pushing & embrace a softer, easier pace of life
- Why rest is one of the best ways to make the law of attraction work
- How doing less, means you can actually attract more
- Why your dreams can still unfold without your active participation 100% of the time
- How to succeed while still feeling nourished and fulfilled
Let's move on from outdated programming of depletion and exhaustion and normalise feeling well-rested and nourished! In this episode, I'll share how you can.

Do you ever get frustrated that things aren’t working out the way you want them to?
Maybe you had a vision or a timeline in mind about how things were going to go…buuuuut life had other plans.
When we are used to achieving and succeeding, what happens is we unconsciously hook our self worth to what we do and how much we do.
Culturally we celebrate success. We learn to validate ourselves when things are going according to our plan.
But no one really taught us what to do when things don't appear to be working.
It's easy to feel good about ourselves when we are achieving and succeeding, but how do we feel about ourselves when things aren't lining up the way we had envisioned?
In this episode, I discuss some of the biggest lessons from my own journey and what I see in my client work when it comes to success and achievement.
You may need to hear this episode if:
- You’re feeling frustrated that things aren’t happening in the timing or way you had envisioned.
- You have a history of being hard on yourself and can dip in and out of confidence in yourself and what you’re doing
- You’re a busy, Type A personality. You succeed and achieve but it often comes at the cost of your own wellbeing
- You feel like you have to push to make things happen in your life and you want things to feel easier
It's time to stand confidently in the choices you make for yourself and your life.
I'll be discussing:
- How to deal with the comments, judgements or criticisms you may encounter from other people when you decide to walk your own path in work, life and other choices you make
- How to let go of needing others to approve or "get" your choices and become your own source of validation and support instead
- How to let go of comparing your path to other peoples and stand confidently in what you do
Plus at the end I'll be offering some high vibe I AM affirmations to integrate what we've discussed.
If you're needing a good dose of courage to step out and make your dreams happen OR you’re already walking your own path, but feelings of self-doubt can weigh you down, then this episode is for you.
Sometimes we can find ourselves in a space where we can't see how things are going to come together.
There can be a lot of question marks about the future. We can't see all of the steps along the way to what we want.
It can feel hard in these moments to trust that things will work out.
But when we're not trusting, we're gripping and holding on tight.
Trying to control things, only leads to more frustration and more stress.
In this episode, I'm sharing:
- How to let go of control and learn to trust the process, even if you can’t see how things are going to work out
- Why you can take action without knowing all of the steps along the way to what you want
- How to look for the little breadcrumbs that the Universe is leaving for you that are going to move you ahead and further down your path
Anything that’s purposeful for us is likely to bring up a certain level of fear and nervousness.
BUT when we let the fear mind hijack the decision-making process it can start to lead us down the wrong path.
We start to question that original idea that came to us - maybe it’s not meant for me? Am I not supposed to do that now?
It’s so crucial to learn to discern between when it’s your intuition speaking and when it’s just fear.
In this episode, I'm sharing:
- A simple technique to use when you’re feeling overwhelmed by fearful thoughts
- How to discern between fear and intuition
- How to learn to trust your own inner guidance
- How to let go of being held back by fear and make choices that empower you (rather than limit you)
Do you have a dream, desire or change you want to make but you find it hard to fully commit?
Maybe you go well for a while, but then life’ takes over and you fall off the bandwagon. Perhaps it feels hard to go beyond the ideas stage & take action.
In this episode, I'll be demystifying why it can feel hard to follow through & how to tap into a lasting form of commitment that will support you in achieving exactly what you want.
