Fireside

Welcome back to Fireside. In today’s episode I’m talking about trust, faith and keeping going, often when you feel like you don’t believe in what you’re doing. I mention my own ongoing experience with keeping the faith, and what you can do when you’re just not feeling it.

What I talk about in this episode:

• My own experience with keeping the faith
• Approaching things with curiosity in the face of disbelief
• Celebrating the small wins
• Believing that the end point is worth it

Welcome back to Fireside. Today is a blog omnibus episode, in which I share the blogs I published in October, bringing them freshly to you, or giving you a new perspective on them. In this episode I cover my realisations about self management, the reactions within me that not winning a writing prize provoked, and the marketing basics that I managed to forget for a while.

What I talk about in this episode:

• Learning the hard way about how to manage myself when there was no one to tell me to stop (or tell me off)
• The misconceptions about being ‘booked out’
• Learning what I need to do to manage myself better
• Overcorrects and coping mechanisms that disappointment stirred in me
• The marketing basics I’ve realised I was actually right about

Welcome back to Fireside. Today is another episode about pivoting, and this time we’re covering the messy middle of a pivot. In this episode, I’ll be using experience gained from my own pivots, as well as insights from coaching I’ve received, to advocate for pivoting from a place of security, safety, and abundance, not from a place of panic and desperation. Pivoting can be fun - I promise!

• What I talk about in this episode:
• The discomfort of pivoting away from work that no longer aligns
• Buying yourself the space to pivot
• Knowing your ‘energetic zero’ (and your numbers!)
• Resisting the rush to find The Thing

Welcome back to Fireside. Today I’m talking about…talking! Specifically in the online sense, as inspired by a question I received recently about tackling the ‘imposter syndrome of talking about life, mental health, growth, passions and joys’. In this episode I cover profundity, storytelling, and communicating your truth.

What I talk about in this episode:

• Speaking when you want to be heard online, but don’t know how to say what you want to say
• Enoughness
• The pressure to be profound
• Setting out to tell a story, as opposed to making a point
• The difference between the truth, and your truth
• The shifting boundaries about what you are and are not willing to talk about online

• Your expectations of yourself, and whether you’re holding yourself to impossible standards
• Why your ‘master list’ might be a problem
• How to manage my own to-do list
