How to cope with overwhelm
December 18, 2019 01:00 - 14 minutes - 13.6 MBAs we're getting closer and closer to Christmas I really wanted to dive into the topic of overwhelm. So, this week I'm talking about a recent experience of overwhelm I had, some steps you can use to cope with overwhelm and finally when to seek help because overwhelm can quickly spiral into burnout.
Creativity as an act of self-care
December 11, 2019 01:00 - 14 minutes - 14 MBThis week I want to talk about creativity – how it benefits our mental health and how it can become part of our self-care routine. I share some science behind why creativity is good for us and how to make creativity a bigger part of your life.
Self-acceptance - how to like yourself more
December 04, 2019 01:00 - 13 minutes - 12.9 MBThis week I wanted to talk about the radical act of liking yourself and self-acceptance. It can be incredibly hard to find self-acceptance, and in this episode I talk about why it’s so hard, but it’s so so worth the work. I share some tips that you can try to gain more self-acceptance and recommend a few techniques and resources to help.
Wellness, self-care and everyday joy with Tamu Thomas
November 27, 2019 01:00 - 45 minutes - 39.3 MBToday we have the very first conversation on Seedling! My aim with these conversations is to shed light on subjects that as a society we *need* to talk about in order to grow. My first conversation is with the lovely Tamu Thomas who is a life coach, podcaster, speaker and writer. We talk about all things wellness, including the problems within the wellness industry, we talk about what self-care means to us, society’s obsession with youth and the importance of everyday joy.
Mental wellness - how to take care of your mental health
November 20, 2019 01:00 - 14 minutes - 13.8 MBThis week I’m talking about mental wellness and how we can take a more proactive approach to our mental health. I don’t feel like this subject gets enough air time, for many of us the term ‘mental health’ conjures up images of people at crisis point, but the thing is – we all have mental health, and we can all take steps to help ourselves before we reach that point.
The difference between counsellors, coaches and mentors
November 13, 2019 01:00 - 12 minutes - 12.6 MBThis week I'm wading through the murky waters of the coaching and counselling industry... I'm sharing an analogy and some questions to help you understand the difference between the professions. Finally I offer some advice to help you know which counsellor/coach/mentor is right for you and some considerations to keep in mind as a client.
Understanding the negativity bias
November 06, 2019 01:00 - 10 minutes - 10.2 MBThis week I cover the topic of negativity and specifically our brain's negativity bias because there are so many unhelpful articles out in the world that enter #positivevibesonly territory. I believe it's more helpful for us to raise our awareness and understand what the negativity bias is, how we can tilt the balance and what we can do when negativity shows up instead of just shut it down.
Finding your motivation for self-care
October 30, 2019 01:00 - 13 minutes - 13 MBThis week I'm looking at how we can find our motivation to practice self-care. I break down what self-care really is and talk about the way self-care impacts those around us and our work-life. I share an exercise to help you uncover your self-care motivators, because, without that interior motive, creating a sustainable self-care practice can be super difficult.
Building self-awareness
October 23, 2019 00:00 - 13 minutes - 13.6 MBIn this week’s episode I’m telling you about an experience I had when I lost touch with my sense of self-awareness and how that impacted my mental health. I’m also sharing some of the self-awareness tools I now use and why it’s important to keep checking in with your core values and beliefs – we’re learning and evolving all the time.
Understanding self-worth and its impact
October 16, 2019 00:00 - 18 minutes - 17.7 MBThis week's episode is a deep dive into self-worth. Obviously as I'm a self-worth coach, I have a lot of thoughts on this topic! I've also experienced first hand the incredible impact being aware of your worthiness can have on your wellbeing. I talk about what self-worth actually is, how it impacts when we lack it, and how it impact us when we have a strong sense of our worthiness. I also share some really practical steps you can take right now to start building your self-worth tap into it...
