Mastering Your Wellness

Do you regularly feel overwhelmed by your to-do list? Don't worry you are NOT alone. Being the incredible human being that you are tends to mean that you have a lot on your plate (or plates) If you're anything like how I used to be that feeling of being overwhelmed can lead to a lack of focus, anxiety, panic and unable to get even the simplest tasks done. Over the years I've learned some simple techniques that really help calm that overwhelmed feeling so that I can get the important things done and in this episode I'm hoping what worked for me will work for you too.

In this week's episode I was joined by the fantastic Vicky Shilling, The Wellness Entrepreneur Coach. If you've ever let perfectionism, the fear of judgement or that little voice in your head hold you back, you NEED to listen to this weeks episode. Full of mindset tips and words of wisdom Vicky's no nonsense approach to going after what you want will leave you feeling inspired and ready to 'just start now'

Is change possible? Some people are of the belief that it's not. That's not the case for my guest who joined me on the show this week. Brian Pennie was a chronic heroin addict for over 15 years before a mindset shift completely transformed his life. In this episode he talks about the steps he took to truly change his life and how he believes the steps he implemented can help you make any change, big or small, in your life. 

Do you often worry about what people think about you? Your decisions, choices, ideas? Have you ever let it stop you from doing something you wanted to do because you were afraid of being judged? You're not alone. This whole fear of judgement and worrying about what others think of us is something that comes up time and time again in conversations with my clients. "What will so and so think?" In this episode I talk about why worrying what others think of you is counterproductive, draining and a complete waste of your time and the one thing you can do to stop!

We can have the skills, talents and ability to do something but if the confidence piece is missing that fear can get in the way and stop us from doing the very thing that we were born to do. I'm always asked is there a magic pill that you can take to become more confident and have that belief in yourself? Unfortunately, there isn't  BUT there are things you can do everyday to improve your confidence and belief in yourself each and every day and that is what this episode is all about!

In this weeks podcast episode myself and my guest, Transformational Coach Niamh Ennis talked about change, how to adapt to it and how to put ourselves right back in the drivers seat and take back control when things aren't going our way- hello corona virus. My guest Niamh followed her heart and changed everything about her life a few years after losing  her fiancé and both her parents one after another. In this conversation we spoke about rewriting your story, discovering who it is that you want to become in life, getting clear on your vision and the steps you can take to change and transform your life.

Today's topic is an absolutely EYE opeining and LIFE changing conversation about food. If you struggle with your weight, have been on diet after diet, constantly compare or beat yourself up about your body or supposed ‘lack’ of willpower then this episode may just change the way you feel about food forever and give you a new perspective and relationship with food. This week I was joined by non-diet nutritionist and Intuitive Eating Counsellor, Niamh Orbinski to talk about how Intuitive Eating could change your relationship with food forever.

I spoke to Clinical Hypnotherapist and Author of The Positive Habit Fiona Brennan on the show this week for a fascinating conversation about why it's important to process everything thats going on now rather than wait until it's all over and how working with your subconscious can actually quieten your busy mind and train your brains to become more positive.

My guest today was the wonderful Allison Keating and during our conversation we talked about the battle of being pandemic perfect, why we are stronger than we think we are, calming anxiety in turbulent times and growing through adversity.   Top Learnings Include: 1. Right now there is a lot of fear right now but there’s also a lot of love  2. Learn to manage your what-ifs 3. The biggest growth comes through adversity 4. The last of the human freedoms is how you choose to respond to the situation    

Today's conversation and podcast episode is REALLY important. As we navigate these unchartered waters one thing is certain- we’re all going to need some extra resilience and mental strength over the coming weeks and months to deal with the challenges that Covid19 throws our way.That's why I'm going to dedicate this podcast to just that and bring you conversations around what you can do to improve your mental resilience and inspiring stories from people who have overcome so much to show that we are resilient and can and will over come tough times.  

I couldn't think of a more apt guest to have on the show this week amidst all the panic surrounding Covid19. Shane Cradock is a well known Leadership Coach but his speciality is improving your state of mind- something, as you know I'm a huge advocate of and think is so important as we face into this uncertainty. I think this episode will convince you now more than ever why it's so important to work on your inner game, especially in these current times of change and upheaval. 

Today we’re going to talk about a topic that I KNOW a lot of you struggle with. How do I know??? Because its just so bloody common especially amongst women.  And what is it?  It's that pesky thing called self doubt that gets in the way of doing the thing you want to do… and today we’re going to tackle how we’re going to give self doubt the heave ho so we can get on with the most important task of being brilliant at whatever we’re doing or choose to do! So buckle up and get ready to feel empowered with this latest episode!

I’m sharing some personal insights in this weeks episode after a recent interview on LMFM radio 'Monday Motivation' slot. I hope that some of the lessons I've learned about myself over the past 10 years will help you gain more clarity about your own life and what you're capable of. This week I also asked apple podcast listeners for a favour -I asked if they liked what they heard would they mind rating and reviewing the show. It only take 10 seconds to do and I would REALLY appreciate it. Thank you SO much!

Think mindfulness is just a fad ? Think again! This week on the show I spoke to Paddy Brosnan, a mindfulness teacher who  works with thousands of people helping them to become more mindful. If you're not into mindfulness and see it as a fad let me tell you this episode is for you…this is not about having a 20 minute practice in the morning or the evening, this really is about introducing more focus and intention into your life, being more mindful, being more present and how it can really give you the edge both personally and professionally.

In today's episode I spoke to coach and international motivational speaker, Pete Smith who changed his whole outlook on life when he had a stroke when he was only 35. The stroke almost killed him and doctors still don’t know how he is alive today. Something changed for Pete that day -  he 'woke up' and grabbed his second chance at life with both hands. In this interview he talks about how we can all lead a more fulfilled life and how the choices we make everyday impact the quality of our lives.

An average person has between 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts per day. Of those, 80% are negative and 95% are repetitive thoughts. Pretty startling eh?  In this episode I spoke to high performance coach, George Anderson about improving the quality of our thoughts and how it can have an incredible impact on the quality of our lives. We also spoke about why in the age of information overload we actually need  less information and more action in order to see a real change. 

When you're describing your life, be it personally or professionally  how often do you use the words- busy, mental, manic, flat out?  Often? If you're like the majority of people you use the word 'busy' to describe your entire life. I wonder when did it become ok to wear 'busyness' as a badge of honour and something that demonstrates how successful you are? It this episode I talk about how to break free form the busyness agenda and take back control of how we view our lives.

If ever there was proof needed that a shift in mindset can have a huge impact on your life it can be found in my conversation with popular fitness and health blogger, Maeve Madden. Her life was once ruled by an unhealthy obsession with diet and exercise, so much so that it was having a negative impact on her overall health & wellbeing. Fast forward a few years later and Maeve is now known for her body positive content and can do attitude. It's proof that we can all improve our lives with the right outlook.

Losing your Mojo this January? This episode is a follow up to last week's episode where we got all fired up making our plans and commitments for the year ahead. This week I'm going to make sure you continue to stick to your goals and commitments by becoming your accountability partner and cheerleader, the person on the sidelines who is cheering you on and believing that you can do it, even if you don’t think you can yourself. I’m going to give you some simple strategies that you can implement straight away if you feel like giving up on your dream right now. I hope you enjoy!

Get ready to get fired up! I'm back for the first episode of 2020 and needless to say I'm more than a little excited to share this weeks episode with you. Sometimes we all need that little extra push. That extra bit of outside motivation that's going to wake you up, lift you up and create that fire in your belly to go after the dream of yours that you've been chasing for so long. That's what I hope this episode will do for you and I hope you enjoy.
