Think you are 100% at fault when you lack the courage to stand up to that user parading as your friend? Think again. Today I want to introduce you to a very important key to understanding why people pleasing is so hard to stop doing.

Meet your Cavebrain.

Cavebrain

This ancient part of your brain is in charge of fight or flight. It also worries about if others accept you.

Cavebrain is always asking two questions:

#1 Am I in immediate danger?

#2 Does the tribe accept me?

Unfortunately, it is very good at misinterpreting things and that is where many people pleasing issues start. Find out more in this episode.

Social media can be overwhelming - but let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater. If managed correctly, it can actually enhance your connections with others.

Today I talk with my friend and fellow empath Trista Ainsworth about the amazing turnaround she experienced in 2020. She went from overwhelmed to being able to powerfully serve her clients and feel more protected.

Professional organiser Trista shares the practical steps she took to reclaim her life from social media that you too can benefit from without cutting yourself off from the world.

Remember the old hit Smoke gets In Your Eyes? This story I tell you today is a rebuff to these sorts of tired old romantic cliches of pop.

A story about the scales falling from my eyes and the lyric from that song

Something inside cannot be denied takes on a completely new meaning.

Points to think about when the scales fall from your eyes:

#1 Don’t waste time feeling stupid in retrospect. At least you can see the truth now.

#2 Think about how you can show up strong when you see them again (there is a specific strategy to this)

#3 Forget trying to erase or solve the pain of the situation/reaslisation, and focus instead on building resilience.

I will share a real life example of one of my clients and how I helped her not only feel less hurt about a situation, but more empowered.

In today’s podcast, I dive into a topic I bet many people  have never even considered: can you challenge your own beliefs? If you had more empowering beliefs, would that change your behaviour around bullies and so on?

Also I have a TV show recommendation I think you will find interesting

This is a great lockdown stress hack to help you get through whatever restrictions are in force wherever you live.

This is how it works.

You need one hour – or 30 min if not.

IF YOU HAVE ONE HOUR

Split the time up as follows

10 min movement

20 min environment

10 min movement again

20 min reward

In this episode, I go into details about what these categories can be, but in a nutshell:

MOVEMENT – Whatever movement you can do in 10 min that makes you feel better

ENVIRONMENT -What will have the maximum impact on making your home less stressful? Is it tidying your kitchen, filing, mopping the floor, mowing the lawn?

In the episode I talk about the importance of the timer.

IF YOU HAVE ONLY 30 MINS

Just split the time up as you see fit. I suggest

10 min  movement

10 min environment

10   min reward
