Listen now and and discover how to turn your Sundays (or the end of your holidays) into a source of excitement and anticipation, rather than dread.

Welcome to day 5! the final day of the Self Love Mini Series. 

In this episode, I will teach you about the importance of independence in cultivating self-love and self-respect. Independence is often misunderstood as being the same as being hyper-independent, but the two are actually quite different. One  is a fear response that can lead to an inability to trust oneself and others, whereas the other is about trusting oneself and being open to vulnerability and connection.

By building healthy independence, you can start to prioritize yourself, set your own standards, and open yourself up to connection and vulnerability. 

Hope you have enjoyed this mini series! So excited to bring it back.

Welcome to day 2 of our Self Love Mini Series.

In this ep we explore the importance of self worth when it comes to increasing self love. It's easy to get caught up in the idea that we're enough just as we are, but the truth is, feeling good about ourselves is often tied to the value we provide to ourselves and others. No matter how many times someone tells you you are good enough, if you do not feel it, it won't help. This episode focuses on HOW to find ways to feel that. 

Thank you for tuning in!

Bonjour and welcome to the ep of today. 
I am going to give you a (long) pep talk about how to know if you should walk away from a relationship (without feeling as if you are giving up). 

I cover an array of key points to consider, including how problems are resolved in relationships, how to know if you are being manipulated or if the relationship has run its course, and how to not be so riddled with guilt.

Determination is a crucial aspect of achieving our goals and living a fulfilling life. But what drives determination, and how can we cultivate it? In this ep we are diving into the neuroscience behind determination, exploring the brain regions and neurochemicals involved in this complex process.

Determination is not just about motivation, but about having the staying power to see things through, even when faced with challenges and setbacks. I also talk about the need to identify what's holding us back, such as inconsistency, lack of clarity, and distractions.

This ep covers the brain regions involved in determination, including the prefrontal cortex, basal ganglia, and amygdala, and how these regions work together to drive persistence, goal-directed behavior, and resilience. And the role of neurochemicals like dopamine, serotonin, and cortisol in motivation and determination.

By the end of this episode, you will have a deeper understanding of the neuroscience behind determination and practical strategies to help them overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.

In today's episode, I talk about the concept of decision fatigue and how it affects our daily lives. Being bombarded with choices, from what to wear to what to eat, and it's easy to get caught up in the overwhelm. But what if you could simplify your decision-making process and make choices with confidence?

One of the key takeaways from this episode is the importance of automating repetitive choices, such as creating a morning routine or deciding on a limited number of breakfast options, deciding earlier, whether it's booking a trip or making a big decision, and creating rules for yourself to avoid procrastination. 

Tune in to learn how to navigate the paradox of plenty and make better decisions in your daily life.
