When Life Gives You Lemons: Recent Episodes

How to leave a career and engage the mindset needed to unleash your authentic self. This podcast follows my experience of being successful in the education sector and then in 2015 deciding to turn my back on what I had thought would be a lifelong learning journey. I talk you through the steps I went through that led me to now founding and running an eco retreat in the Andalusian mountains in Spain.
In todays episode we consider the human desire for ‘compare and dispare’. That seemingly Innate urge to punish ourselves for not having what we don’t know that others even have. We look at routes out of this cycle and how to be content with the here and now.
In todays episode we consider accepting what is and what that could mean for us. How growth can spark from listening to what is happening around us and from there how to navigate our way to a better future.
In this episode we examine the human obsession for avoiding being in the moment. Our natural desire to focus on the past and try to predict the future ensures we’re present in the moment as little as possible. We’ll end the episode with a meditation breaking with this cycle.
In todays episode we consider the human need to be ‘right’ and the lengths some will go to for that to be recognised. How do you break this cycle? And why is it important to do so.
In this episode we examine the concept of doing the same thing over again and expecting different results AKA the human state. How do you break this cycle? What does it feel like when you do? And why should you?
In todays episode we examine what it means to centre and focus the body in order to become you’re most authentic self. This is a long journey but one that always is realigned by reminding ourselves that nothing works unless we do.
This episode is about how we can actually learn to be more intelligent. I talk about how anything is possible when you get out of your own way and how it is ok to not know where you want to go in life.
Here I’m talking about how mindset dictates how good your life is, and not, as most of us think most of the time, what actually happens ‘to’ you.
In this first episode of series two, I give you an update on what’s gone on for me since November 2020, the curveballs life has thrown at me and we examine why everything is always going to work out in the end. Why? Because the sun is always shining.
In this weeks podcast we look at how the mind tries to control you through all kinds of evil measures! I look into this in detail and give you hints and tips on how to take control so that you can start to become the best version of you!
In this quick bonus episode I give you an anachronym that can help you quickly self reflect during your day and hopefully put you back on track to be at your most productive and happy. Yay!
In this weeks episode I talk about knowing when it is the right time for change and moreover how to go ahead with affecting that change. How do you get to that crunch point where you make the decision to make change? How do you navigate through that? I examine what this all meant for me as I chose to leave the teaching profession in 2015 and how that lead me into building a successful business in a totally different sector and ultimately brought me to Spain to set up our own eco resort.
What do you do when the career you thought you had for life just isn't for you any more? In 2015 I left teaching after ten successful years. I was on track to become a Headteacher and the future looked bright until one day I woke up and realised I just couldn't do it any more. This introductory podcast gives you a flavour of where I came from and where I am now, 5 years later, headed.
