The No Bullsh*t Guide to a Happier Life

Welcome to episode 5. Ever walked into a networking event and felt like you've walked into the wrong room? Don’t panic! It doesn’t mean you're bad at networking, you just haven’t found the right group yet! In this episode I share my experiences of networking for the first time as a business owner and how I learned over time why it’s good to find a group who can support you as much as you can support them.

Main points:

• Recognising how important it is to find a networking group that is right for you as an individual as well as a business.
• Why it’s important to find a network that can give you support in your business when you need it.
• How being authentic in your follow up will get you the best results and help you stick in people’s minds.

Welcome to episode 9. We’re back to business this week and I’m asking you a question - what type of boss are you? Many people set out to work for themselves after negative experiences working for a someone who treated them badly. Of course, self-employment brings many freedoms but I’ve seen many people get stuck in a downward spiral of resentment and demotivation because of the way they treat themselves as the boss of their own business. In this episode I share some key questions you should be asking yourself to ensure sustainable and long-term performance.

Main points:

• I’ll be asking, now you work for yourself, are you your own dream boss - to yourself and your team?
• How creating an ‘employee handbook’ for yourself is actually a brilliant idea and NOT just an excuse to buy new stationary!
• Why rewarding yourself and celebrating your wins is SO important.
• How modelling good self-management before you take on team members will filter into your team when the time is right, with nothing but good results.

Welcome to episode 10. Are you happy wearing the hat that says ‘leader’? Not everyone is and that’s ok, but it’s a fact of life that we are occasionally called upon to take on the role, despite our possible aversion to it. In this episode we look at why your businesses needs good leadership; what makes a good leader and how you can evaluate your effectiveness as the leader of your business by keeping an eye on your team retention.

Main points:

• Are your own stereotypes holding you back from being a good leader?
• How creating healthy boundaries and expectations of your team is the foundation of good leadership.
• How staff retention can be a good indicator of how you’re doing.

Welcome to episode 39. Are you ready to go a bit deeper? This week I’m exploring three specific activities that can help you to dive deep below the surface of your busy mind, to help quieten the racing thoughts and find a deeper level of relaxation and release. These activities are Yoga Nidra, Floating and hypnosis. In this episode I explore my experience with each, explaining the many wonderful benefits, any potential bullshit elements and of course the mindset blocks that can hold us back from adding them to our toolkit.

In this episode:

• My account of the activities and what you can expect from each of them.
• Why the fear of what we’ll find often stops us from delving below the surface.
• How the act of going below the conscious mind can often reveal areas that ‘need work’, and the steps you can take if this is you.

Welcome to episode 45 of The No Bullshit Guide to a Happier Life podcast! Season three is promising to be a journey of self-discovery, so hold on tight and let’s get stuck in!

Taking time to stop and hold our own gaze long enough for our true feelings to rise up is no easy task, and something I bet many of us (myself included) would avoid whenever possible. But in today’s episode I’m challenging you to do just that. To look at yourself in the mirror, uninterrupted and ask ‘who am I?’. This series is all about exploring the relationship we have with ourselves and how accepting our emotions for what they are rather than letting them define us can give us power to live our lives without guilt, shame or judgement. So, are you pleased to meet you?

In this episode:

• Why we find it so uncomfortable to look ourselves in the eye.
• Distinguishing between our emotions and our behaviour.
• Why judging ourselves is the biggest barrier to getting to know ourselves.
• How acceptance is the key to letting go of the negativity and perusing a happier life.
