    As we hurtle around the New Year, I think it’s time for the ubiquitous goal-setting post. But I hope that mine actually helps you TAKE ACTION. We all (or at least I) like to have a bit of a overhaul at the end of each year. It’s the ultimate “fresh notebook” feeling, giving you the […]

    When you run your own business, it tends to be all-consuming. We tend to spend a lot of our “free” time working. Drafting blog posts. Checking emails. Filing documents. Chatting with clients and colleagues. Doing biz-related e-courses.   We justify it by saying we find those things fun. We enjoy our work, so it counts […]

INSTAGRAM KNOWS ME BEST

This isn't the post I'd planned to write today, bu This isn't the post I'd planned to write today, but then I SAW A FUCKING BADGER.

Like, a real badger, walking right in front of me, in the middle of a city. WHAT.

And I kind of think that incident perfectly summarises the day I've had today - unplanned moments and surprise interactions.

I had the opportunity to have two unplanned conversations with old (ish) friends. Both of these being humans I can get honest and messy and vulnerable in front of (which, let's face it, still comes as a surprise every time I realise it's true) - @ebonieallard and @julie_creffield you are both absolute babes.

I've had a whole bunch of new clubhouse collab invites come my way, which feels a little bit edgey but also exciting. 

I got to be in circle with some beautiful humans, as part of @priestessdarcie 's Embody Goddess programme (not unplanned, but what came up was definitely unexpected).

Spending my evening collaborating with @thepeacefulbadass on the nostalgic playlist to end all playlists.

AND... I saw a fucking badger.

Yes, there's been work stuff I could waffle on about, but sometimes that's not the thing that needs your attention.

Sometimes it's the space in between. The conversation, the opportunity, the reflection...

How has your day been?

(And someone please show me where to find the badger emoji 👊)
There's something about being surrounded by other There's something about being surrounded by other humans (even if that's virtually) that always gets my brain bubbling away... #theonelive2021 with @suzy_ashworth has been no different!

I already have a couple of new collaborations in the works and I am FUCKING EXCITED.

Day 2 was all about the wealth, so you can bet some messy shit came up.

And... I've become so, so aware of my desire for more spaciousness, specifically in relation to my money. I'm sure you can relate to that feeling of having "just enough" and GOD DAMN IT I want more breathing room!

I've come to realise that if I want more spaciousness in my bank account, I need to create more spaciousness in my mind, in my energy field, in my life as a whole...

And because I'm me, I can't leave realisations like that in the abstract concepts, I have to anchor it in the practical, the actions I am COMMITTING to...

🗻 daily breathwork (I just signed up to The Breath Channel by @stevielwright_ thanks to a rec from @danikenney )

🐶 daily time outside with my bestie @carmeldavidonline and the pooches

📚 intentional consumption over numbed out bingeing

🤑 tracking my money (and tapping on any weirdness that comes up) DAILY

👭 conversations. Real, raw, deep discussions with other human beings, outside of my tiny hermit's bubble.

My personal #MoneyChallenge might not look like such a money thing, but I can feel in my bones the difference this is going to make!

I'm committed. I'm also curious. What would more spaciousness look like  to you, in practical terms?

@enchantedqueenempire @metabosscollective
Yesterday was A DAY AND A HALF. Here's some of wha Yesterday was A DAY AND A HALF. Here's some of what's on my mind after hours and hours of goodness with @suzy_ashworth and crew at #theonelive2021

💎 I have nothing to prove, not even to myself.

💎 I was enough yesterday. I am enough today. I will be enough tomorrow.

💎 If I *truly* want to embody all of my values (and I do) I have to brave enough to go a little bit outside of my comfort zone every single day.

💎 You cannot "try" to be in alignment. You either are or you aren't.

💎 Having it all has nothing to do with what you own materially, it's about having all of yourself.

💎 It's not the vision that validates me.

💎 If I am going to create everything I've been dreaming of, I get to be the person who has unconditional, unapologetic FAITH. I get to be someone who claims her inner expansion as a non-negotiable AND someone who chooses full and real expression as a priority.

💎 Sometimes I ignore what people say because those truths are inconvenient 😂

 💎 Simultaneously, I have extremely low expectations and high standards 🤯

(There was more, but I have a character limit.)

You might think it's a profoundly stupid decision for me, as a coach, as someone who helps people deal with their shit and hit that next level, to be so open about the brain junk *I* deal with...

AND I'm committed to always being real. To showing you what comes up as you grow *and* how to navigate those muddy waters. For me, a big part of that is investing in coaches like Suzy who stretch me, and putting myself inside of communities that inspire me.

It's actually what makes me qualified to do what I do (and good at it!) no matter how messy things might look on the outside. 

So yeah. Hit me up if you want to have a chat about working together.

*And stay tuned for takeaways from Day 2!
I've said it before and I'll say it again: investi I've said it before and I'll say it again: investing in yourself and putting yourself in spaces or communities who vibe with your vision and your values is a NON-NEGOTIABLE if you're going to survive this self-employed life.

I'm spending the next 3 days fully immersed in #theonelive2021 run by my coach @suzy_ashworth and her epic support squad. I can already feel in my bones that this is going to be a weekend of pure magic...

Stay tuned for takeaways!
In the mood for a #throwbackthursday This photo w In the mood for a #throwbackthursday

This photo was taken in a hotel in New York back in the days when one could both travel internationally AND pop into a public place and have it be no big deal...

It was also taken during the trip where I got to hang out IN PERSON with other humans, as part of the life-changing certification I did with @lexidangelo

As part of that training, I became a certified practitioner in:
Neuro-Linguistic Programming
Time Techniques
Life & Success Coaching
Clinical Hypnosis
Integrative Alchemy
And my long-time fave, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques)

And while, yes, it has shaken up the way I do business, by arming me with an endless supply of powerful, straight-to-the-fucking-point tools I can use to facilitate all kinds of epicness with my clients, it has also changed my life.

The way I feel about money. The way I feel about my own visibility. The way I feel about my stripes as a coach. The way I navigate global events. The way I navigate relationships, traumatic and otherwise. The way I treat my health. The way I treat my creativity. The way I treat my clients. The way I treat my spirituality. The way I treat my home.

The impact - and the possibility - has been next level.

As, like I said, EFT is a firm fave and has been for years, I've decided to open up 10 one-off tapping sessions for a super exclusive, probably-never-to-be-repeated steal of a price (£79), so that you can experience the magic to.

During that hour together, we'll dive balls deep and I'll create you as many scripts as I can that you can take away with you to use again and again, specifically coded to what YOU are dealing with and desiring.

DM me if you want one. 10 spots only!
You don’t need me to tell you how to set goals - You don’t need me to tell you how to set goals - there are endless workshops, webinars and tutorials out there spelling out the importance of setting and staying focused on your goals HOWEVER they don’t always show you how to stay inspired as you go…

None of us are strangers to the SMART goals acronym which talks about:
✔️ Making your goals specific
✔️ Making your goals measurable
✔️ Making your goals achievable
✔️ Making your goals relevant
✔️ Making your goals time-based

But the stereotypical goal setting guide doesn’t spend so much time on the achievement of said goals (or the pleasure of the process).

If you’re ready to get serious about goal setting, this video is for you. Get your hands on my clear, simple, process for achieving goals (without getting bored).

The first step: make your goals inspiring. Allow them to have a bit of a challenge, a bit of a stretch, a bit of excitement… and then use my method to reverse engineer your goals and create an action plan that works.

Which, by the way, you can swipe for free in this week's YouTube video. You're welcome.

THE MINI GUIDE TO SETTING GOALS AS A COUPLE (Note THE MINI GUIDE TO SETTING GOALS AS A COUPLE
(Note - this is specifically about setting life goals with your partner, not biz goals.)

STEP 1 - GET THEIR BUY-IN
For this to work, you need your other half to feel invested. You are not the boss here. You're not assigning homework. In order for it to feel collaborative you want them to WANT to join you... so be honest. Explain why you would love to set goals together. Why would it be meaningful? How will it help you? What will the ripple effect be?

STEP 2 - SET THE SCENE
Let's make the experience pleasurable! Is there a playlist you'd both love? Could you grab your favourite snacks and drinks? Would lighting candles create a vibe? 

STEP 3 - IDENTIFY YOUR REALMS
Talk it out and decide which realms of life are most significant to you as a couple. These will be different for everyone, but ours are: Love + sex, Work, Health, Hobbies, Home, Friends + fam, Personal development, Money, Spirituality.

Write each of your realms on a post it and stick them across a wall, a whiteboard, or a big piece of paper.

STEP 4 - PULL OUT THE POST-ITS
Now (without conferring) start thinking about your goals and intentions in each of these realms. I wrote all of my goals for me on pink post-its, Tom used green, and then any goals for us as a couple we wrote on yellow, sticking them under the relevant headers as we went.

STEP 5 - TALK IT THROUGH
Once you're tapped out, talk through those post-its one at a time. You might find that by articulating them out loud with the person you love, desires and motivations might shift a bit. The only rule here is no judgements or interruptions. You both get to talk about your intentions freely.

STEP 6 - IDENTIFY FIRST STEPS

Next, take a look at each of those post-its and write down the first tiny action that will get you moving in that direction - we used red sharpie for added drama.

STEP 7 - CHOOSE ONE

Pick somewhere to start!

It really is as simple as that!

Remember, these are life goals. If it's you're business where you're looking for more momentum, come join me for the Your Unshakeable Year! The link to the info page is in my bio 🤗
I love this shift in entrepreneurial thinking - th I love this shift in entrepreneurial thinking - this idea that a business gets to be a living, breathing, organic thing, rather than a cold corporate structure...

When I first heard someone talking about the seasons and cycles of business, something just clicked for me. It just makes so much sense.

🌿 You've got the SPRING - where you're invigorated by new ideas, seeds to plant, if you will.

☀️ You've got the SUMMER - where you invite people into your world and put in the work, taking care of your babies and turning them into something.

🍁 You've got the AUTUMN - where you come to completion on projects and reap the rewards.

🌨 You've got the WINTER - where you power down for rest and reflection.

When everything is working as it should, you'll move through the seasons pretty seamlessly... but that was emphatically not me, when I started working with this concept.

My comfort zones were squarely in the Spring and Summer realms. Coming up with ideas, creating new things, dazzling you all with my magnetism... but instead of seeing things through, really nurturing and tending to my projects so that I could see the financial rewards, I stayed stuck. Coming up with more ideas. More offers. More content. More to be doing. Less to be celebrating.

And I'm not the only one. Over the past year, around 90% of my clients have found themselves stuck in a particular season - not because it was what they needed on an energetic level, but because that was what felt safe and comfy.

I've had people like me who were all about those Spring vibes, "downloading" ideas every other day, never really growing much of anything. I've had people who loved that Summer, doing creative things on social media without converting all of that energy into anything. I've had Autumn people who were madly focused on the money, rather than creating something that will create sustainability. I've had Winter babes who are great at the self-care and taking it easy, and not so great at taking action.

We all have our comfort zones. That's not wrong, but it doesn't always serve us... SO I made something to help.
