In this episode:
I’m covering the subject of FUN!
Because frankly, many of us are not getting enough of it in our daily lives.
This episode has been inspired by the BBC TV series, Race Across the World. I’m obsessed with it and love the life insights gleaned from watching the experiences the contestants have while competing.
On the celebrity version of the show, I was touched by the relationship between Jeff Brazier and his 19-year-old son, Freddy, and the lessons coming through from Freddy about how to build fun back into life.
If you feel like you could do with an injection of excitement, play, joy, laughter and just a general zest for life, stay tuned as I’m going to share four simple ways to reboot and amp up your fun quota, as inadvertently taught by Freddy himself!
Sound good? Excellent. Click and listen in now.

EP019 | How to Remove Imposter Syndrome for Good, with Alison O’Leary
In this episode:
I tackle something that a lot of people really struggle with and that’s IMPOSTER SYNDROME.
If you suffer from:
...persistent self-doubt and second-guessing yourself
...feeling like a fraud (and afraid you’ll be found out soon)
...regularly questioning your intelligence or abilities
...a perpetual fear that you aren’t good enough
...or your daily lived experience involving relentless worry, anxiety and overthinking
Then this episode is for you.
Imposter Syndrome does nothing except get in the way of you fulfilling your true potential.
It stops you going after your personal and professional dreams (and it feels bloody awful to boot!)
Join me in this solo episode where I delve into: what imposter syndrome looks like (so you can judge if it’s something you personally struggle with); why it isn’t something that you were born with and therefore stuck with; where imposter syndrome actually comes from (with some brain science to explain it), and really importantly, why it is totally possible to remove it once and for all.
