Coaches: Client Boundaries & What To Do When We Breach Our Own BoundariesIn this episode I speak about what it means to have client boundaries, what it means to implement those boundaries over and over again and what it feels like when we breach our own boundaries. We are a constant work in progress and it would be foolish to believe we're complete experts at boundary setting when it comes to matters of the heart, dealing with abandonment wounds, childhood trauma and codependence, many of the avenues we navigate in a coaching business and client dynamic.

I raged a little too hard and it was because a few things got me wound up and I needed to let rip. For too long we have kept our true feelings and emotions bottled up inside of us and it leads to irrational behaviour, resentment and regret.
If we can allow ourselves to feel, heal, regulate and move through whatever is present, life is so much simpler, lighter and more manageable.

It is an absolute marketing frenzy out there, especially if you are in the coaching and personal development industry. People have a course for just about everything these days, so the question is how do we differentiate the good from the bs?

You're gonna be scared as an entrepreneur. You're gonna be scared as a new business owner. You're gonna be afraid of looking stupid on camera, of hate on the internet, of people not listening to you, of people judging you, of your work being kind of shit. Well guess what? We're all scared...

The Karpman Drama Triangle is a great tool to analyse our relationships and it's even greater when utilised (aka stepping outside of the triangle all together).

For years, I was my brand, I could meet people on the street and they'd want to work with me. The universe plonked me in places and spaces where people needed me. I didn't really know how to translate that into an 'online brand', I share about this more in the episode.

Honesty, Suicidal Thoughts & Feeling Creatively BlockedIn this episode I speak about my up and down journey when it comes to honesty, with both myself and others, when suicidal thoughts would hit for me (specifically not wanting to wake up and get on with my day), being 'voluntarily' creatively blocked and how that can affect our mission, business and overall sense of wellbeing.
Messy action is always the intention but what happens when the perceived blockers just feel way too big? Too insurmountable?
Our greatest gift is honesty, first with ourselves, and secondly, with others.
