15. The Power of Words

Explicit content warning

10/01/23 • 32 min

For many years in my hair dressing chair, I have been told people wish they could have me in their pocket when they need to have a hard conversation.

Tune in today as I chat about some useful ways to express your feelings clearly and concisely, using language and tone to pave a way forward, rather than pointing fingers and laying blame.

In this episode we cover:

Having hard conversations and them coming from a good place
How word dumping is shaped in childhood and can play out as an adult
Fear and shaming conversations can push people apart
Thinking about the timing of when you have conversations
Reading body language to check in with timing
When to choose growth
How reflection is a curious way to observe ourselves
Giving yourself permission to be yourself
Choosing when to bring out your inner warrior
Where your values are at will determine what you need to defend
Taking out blame and judgment in your conversations.

14. Who the f**k does she think she is?

There are three women inside of me: the powerhouse go-getter who has no time for BS, there’s the gypsy dreamer who wants to take her family in a caravan around the country and cut hair along the way, to the mother who is content being settled with simple family life. Who the f**k do they think they all are?

Today we look at balancing different versions within yourself, or hats you need to wear, to allow all parts of you to feel satisfied.

In this episode we cover:

Balancing different versions of you
Feeling the pull between the different versions of yourself
Growth is in the challenge and the failures of life
Learning how to appease all sides of yourself
Working out what your values are so you can stay true to your personal values
Personal values can align between all sides of you, due to those common values
Finding ways to make sure you are always living your values to their full extent, and questioning any inconsistencies.
