123 - Your Inner Critic Compass

Saturday Oct 14, 2023

What is your inner critic trying to tell you?

In this episode I share how I turned my inner critic into one of my best friends, and use it as one of my greatest resources to take action in a way that is in line with what I truly want in my life. I hope this resonates with you, and the book I cite is The Chimp Paradox by Professor Steve Peters: https://chimpmanagement.com/books-by-professor-steve-peters/the-chimp-paradox/

Saturday Sep 16, 2023

Social media! What's the point?!?!

In this episode I let you into my train of thought as to why anyone should bother posting on social media! It's oversaturated, so much noise, and compared to others it's easy to feel very VERY inferior! So what keeps me going? WHat could you have in your minds eye to keep you motivated, centered and avoid all the drudgery that posting can create.

117 - Real-Time Change - The Voice Kids is Cancelled

Saturday Sep 02, 2023

How do you deal with change?

Well, this is a unique opportunity to let you into how I deal with change in actual real-time! 2 hours before filming this episode, I found out The Voice Kids wasn't going to be coming back for 2024. Instantly out of the job! I wanted to share with you my thoughts, how I'm coping and give you the rawest, most honest reaction to the situation to hopefully give you some insight, as well as comfort that we all go through this in one way or another!

116 - The Power Of You!

Saturday Aug 26, 2023

What is it that YOU want?

I spent the first 15 years of my playing (and arguably 26 years of my life!) looking to everyone else to find what would make me happy, where I should be putting my energy and how I should be living my life. It was only at a crisis point that I chose a different way, and started looking inside and listening to that little voice inside. Turns out that was the most important voice of all. In this episode I share my journey with it all, and the pain and struggle that still exists in me.
