Yess Jess!Losing Motivation: Slumps & Climbing out of themHi hi hi, welcome to another episode! Hope you're well :))) Today let's discuss fear's partner-in-crime - SLUMPS! It's hard to figure out why they happen, but we can take a little guess & suss out the best way to get out of them (which is what we do in today's episode as it just so happens!) Fresh from our own little slump, let's discuss why looking in on yourself and focussing on that tunnel vision can help you out more than you think (I don't know if the tunnel vision thing is an accurate phrase to use, I can't...2021-09-1216 min
Yess Jess!Let's Talk About Fear (and no, I don't mean the Lily Allen song)Oh my oh my, I wish there was a wizard that could make me brave!! Unfortunately, all you'll get today is me (hi). Today, instead of me telling you how to feel or how to think, let's just share our fears. We can't always control how we feel (and that sucks a lot of the time) but what we can do, is talk and listen and share. Dispensing advice is easy (kind of) but actually doing life, doing the work, pushing through the fear of the unknown/the future/daily life - now that's hard. So today, I just...2021-08-2915 min

Yess Jess!Hahaha...oh no: The Sh*tey Voice in the Back of Your HeadFebruary's first episode deals with the sh*tey voice in the back of your head, the one that tells you you're not good enough, that you're not as smart as you think you are or that you're not going to be great. We talk about identifying what the voice sounds like in order to KILL IT and prevent it from coming back in the future. Growing up and glowing up means healing from past trauma and sometimes the things that affect us in ways we don't even realise (and most of us are so used to the little voice...2021-02-0730 min
