How to find the right coach for you.

How to find the right coach for you.
A new year can often feel like a beautiful blank canvas of possibility for you to paint upon. A canvas where vision, intention and action collide, sparking a meaningful shift toward that which ignites a fire in your soul. As I write these words, I feel goosebumps at the infinite possibilities and the learning that I know will come with trying, even when it doesn’t work out as planned. I also ground myself in the reality that in the age of information overload and coaching gurus selling you the world, making a meaningful shift toward living a life that feels purposeful, present and spacious enough to have a meaningful impact can feel complicated. For all of these reasons, the first podcast for the year is dedicated to helping you invest in the support you need to realise your dreams in 2024 with intention and due diligence. I want to ensure that when you invest in yourself, you get what you pay for and make some serious progress. Links & Resources Download the FREE 'How to find the right coach for you' tool here.

Have you met Balance?

Have you met Balance?
Have you met Balance yet? Ok, so when I say that I’m guessing I sound a little crazy but I’m not. You see I spent many years of my life chasing work-life balance rather than listening to what my body and my mind were trying to tell me and in my corporate career it left me burnt out. It felt like the harder I chased balance, the more elusive she became and the more disconnected I became from myself, from my true essence and the ones I loved. When I let go of what society defined as balance and created the space to listen to what my body and mind needed for me to show up as the woman I wanted to be, I discovered something simple and life-changing. Balance was not a destination; it was a way of being, and it is found in the micro-moments of recharge and rest that you choose to inject into each day. The more I invest in these sacred pockets of time, the more impact I have and the more I feel connected to the woman I want to be in the world. I know I’m not alone when I say the pursuit of balance is burning us out. It’s for this exact reason that I want you to meet Balance on this week’s podcast. She has a message for you, and I know you’re going to want to hear it.
