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.

The No Bullsh*t Guide to a Happier Life - Social Connection | The No Bullsh*t Guide to a Happier Life

10/25/22 • 14 min

Welcome to episode 41. Today I am talking all about social connection and why it takes up such an important space in our happier life toolkit. Do we take it for granted? If you were to suddenly loose your ability to connect with your friends or community, how would you feel? Having and maintaining regular contact with the right people floods our brains with oxytocin (aka the love hormone). It helps us to process the stress of our busy, often overwhelming lives by making us feel safe, capable and supported. Are you using this as a tool in your happier life toolkit?

In this episode:

  • How positive social interactions help us to process stress.
  • Why spending time with the right people is so important.
  • Social connection is a necessity, not a luxury - do you agree?
  • The importance of community and sharing our struggles.

Welcome to episode 7. In this episode we are going deep! Self-worth is the central force of all the things we do and having it unlocks the door to a happy and fulfilling life. Yet we are reluctant to invest time and energy into giving ourselves the care and attention we need to feel that self-worth. Why? Join me as I explore the reasons why we might be lacking in the first place and how working through these issues in a supported way could be the best investment you’ve ever made in your life.

Main points:

  • How recognising your issues is the most important first step to gaining self-worth
  • Understanding that whatever you’ve done in your life, you aren’t worth any more or any less than any other human being.
  • Why placing value on yourself will give you a solid foundation for every aspect of your life.
  • Suggestions on how you can start your journey to unpack the issues that are holding you back.

06/22/21 • 16 min

Welcome to episode 6. Why is it so difficult to put into practice all of the advice we hear about being our best selves and running a successful business? The answer – most of us suffer from frequent overwhelm and lack of self-belief! This episode focuses on how these powerful mindset blocks need to be explored and broken down so you can feel back in control and make progress in every part of your business and your life.

Main points:

  • How breaking tasks down into smaller, less challenging steps will help get your overwhelm under control.
  • Realising you don’t have to be the expert in your business to get started and provide a good service to your clients.
  • How impostor syndrome can rob you of your confidence and how to break the vicious cycle created by a lack of self-belief.

Welcome to episode 28. Today I’m delving into the practice of journaling. If you’re looking for an easily accessible, highly effective and budget-friendly tool for your happiness toolkit, journaling could be for you! Grab yourself a notebook, a cup of tea and a nice pen and give it a try. In this episode I share my experience of writing a journal (something I’ve done for a while now) and the benefits it can bring if you’re feeling like the inside of your head is more circus than spa. Enjoy!

In this episode:

  • I share a few different journaling techniques to help you for different states of mind
  • Why journaling doesn’t need to be perfect or consistent to be beneficial
  • How identifying themes in your writing can help unlock the mindset blocks you may not have realised were holding you back.

Check out the gorgeous journaling kits and workshops available from Kimmy Drain at Nourishing Northern Mamas, mentioned in this episode.

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 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 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.

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.

11/21/23 • 16 min

Welcome to episode 68. We’ve put in a lot of work exploring our relationship with ourselves this series, so it seems fitting to end on this episode. Let’s reflect on how far we’ve come and the amazing work we have done.

Today I am talking about how we can nurture ourselves by celebrating the big life stuff, but more importantly the small wins in life. How often do you celebrate yourself for those achievements? Our conditioning means it’s probably not nearly enough. Learning to give ourselves a pat on the back will lead to a better relationship with ourselves and as result a happier life, but it’s not always easy. Listen in to find out more.

In this episode:

  • Reflecting on series three and our new perspective on the relationship we have with ourselves.
  • Why our brains want us to fail – it’s up to us to switch the narrative.
  • How resentment can be the by-product of neglecting our need for self-celebration.
  • Meaningful ways of celebrate ourselves, without breaking the bank.
