Wed, 28 Jun 2023 07:25:32 GMT

Who said leaving your comfort zone should be comfortable? You know what it's like. You set a big, audacious 90-day goal. You try something that you've never done before and your brain starts freaking out. You feel afraid and filled with anxiety. But what if all that negative emotion actually meant you were on the right path? What if your negative emotions were actually a sign of courage and bravery rather than of weakness? Today on the show I share my brutally honest experience of hosting a talk with Adidas as part of their launch of the UK's most comprehensive range of sports bras. You'll walk away feeling ready to take on a new challenge and to stretch what you believe is possible to achieve in your 90-Day Journey

Big thanks to the Adidas London and the All Bright team as none of this would have been possible without their belief in me and the power of mindset

90-Day Goal: $10k in 90 days with Jade Montgomery

Wed, 16 Feb 2022 08:30:19 GMT

When you set a goal. Any goal. Doesn't matter what that goal is - if you're dreaming big enough your brain will come up with all the obstacles and reasons why you can't achieve it. Note, those obstacles will originate in your mind. One of the biggest blocks creatives face is worthiness "Am I good enough to do this?" and the classic, "Who am I to deserve this?"

In this weeks episode, I talk to Stuck to Unstoppable grad Jade Montgomery about her experience in setting and achieving her 90-day goal of making $10,000 in 90-days as a new business owner. We dive deep into the simple mindset shifts that changed the game for her, as well as celebrating all the wins she's had since the coaching program.

The Truth behind a sell out launch

Wed, 02 Feb 2022 08:30:20 GMT

There's nothing wrong with having a launch that sells out in a few minutes. Except for when you use the fact that your launch hasn't sold out against yourself. You might be seeing other business owners online sell out their launches and be using that as a reason to say your business isn't good enough. It's not true. In this episode, I make a case for why a launch that takes 5 days to sell through is just as much something to be proud of as one that took 5 minutes.

In this episode, I speak about having the belief and confidence to carry yourself through the whole launch experience - even when it feels like things aren't working. If you struggle with this, if you're often bogged down with your negative thoughts and find your spending waaaay to much time feeling like a failure then it's time to join Stuck to Unstoppable. It's my 1:1 program where you'll learn how to achieve your goal in 90-days. It's nothing like anything you've tried before. It's the answer your future self has been begging you to discover.

Archive: Thoughts Create Results

Wed, 17 Nov 2021 10:51:17 GMT

How much do you think about what you think about? A lot? A little?

If you're like me, before I started using manifestation in my life and in my business I used to believe that the thoughts I had in my head meant nothing. But I couldn't have been further from the truth. All the thoughts that you're having your goals are creating your goals. Meaning, if you hit a goal last month you simply thought that it was possible.

And if you didn't hit your goals last month, you didn't think it was possible.

We think thoughts and then we create situations, experiences and events equal to those thoughts

And this isn't a new concept. This is the manifestation process happening right now, in your business.

You've heard it before, what you think becomes things. In this episode, I open up this concept to show you a tangible way to think new thoughts so you can create the kind of business that blows your own mind. That's what you're here for, right?!

So let's get into it

Your Future Self

Wed, 10 Nov 2021 08:57:12 GMT

Ever had the experience that you've just drifted into a place in life - not quite sure how you've got there? I have and it's not a great place to be. When we're in this space our goals can seem so far away and so unachievable that we talk ourselves out of even taking the first step. In this episode, I share a powerful manifestation concept to unwind all of the drift and the self-doubt that comes with it - and it starts with talking to your future self.

When you create and begin to identify with who you want to be 90 days from now or even 10 years from now, it suddenly becomes clear, who you'd have to be and what skills you might have to learn in order to close that gap. It's the journey of a lifetime. Tune in to find out how to start taking your first steps

The Art and Magic of Hypnotherapy with Jessica Boston

Wed, 20 Oct 2021 12:02:57 GMT

In this episode, I sit down with hypnotherapist Jessica Boston. Here's why you need to listen hard to this one. Our brain is always creating stories in order to make sense of the world. The only problem is when our brain holds onto stories that limit us or chain us to the past, that's when we're not able to move forward in the present. In our conversation, Jessica explores how to create and design your reality using hypnotherapy and rebuilding trust with self.

Job dependency + free downloadable journal

Wed, 29 Sep 2021 12:36:36 GMT

Being dependent on a job isn't about being employed or not, it's the difference between confidently running a successful business or spinning around in cycles of self-doubt ad overwhelm. In this episode, I break down how dependency clouds you and blocks you from creating opportunities in your business and how to move from feeling reliant on a job, to being a confident creative who is fearless in their ability to reach their potential.

In a first for the podcast, I'm giving away a totally free mini downloadable journal for you to take the concepts of this podcast and apply them to your own life. It's highly recommended if you've resonated with anything in this episode.

Untangling Perfectionism and Goal-Setting with Catri Barrett

Wed, 08 Sep 2021 08:00:02 GMT

Identify as a perfectionist? I know soo many creatives do, which is why I've invited the extraordinary Life Coach Catri Barrett to deep dive into what the different types of perfectionism are, and the ways it can be showing up in your life and business. I found this conversation truly nourishing as we untangled what the purpose of goal setting in our business is, and how healthy self-worth becomes the foundation on which our dreams and aspirations are built.

So often we strive to achieve goals at the expense of ourselves. We're taught to place all of our opinions on the achievements of a goal. Use this episode as a homecoming to evaluate where there is space in your life to love the process, and release the negative self-talk that can be so damaging to your psyche

When you're afraid to loose followers

Thu, 12 Aug 2021 15:14:16 GMT

SORRY IF THIS OFFENDS BUT I don't think that you should be trying to grow your audience or hold on desperately to followers ⁠

⁠When you focus on your number count ⁠or get annoyed of because only 100 people have seen your post ⁠- you're missing out on what it means to have an audience. Truly. ⁠Learn how to connect with the audience you already have ⁠and you give yourself permission to be yourself online. This means trying new and potentially cringy things. I'm here for the cringe because you start showing up for 2,000 people like its 2M. That's the energy that makes you magnetic. If you're ever sat about to post and you ask yourself "what if they unfollow me?" this episode is for you

A Case for How Celebration prevents burnout

Wed, 04 Aug 2021 08:00:17 GMT

THE MORE YOU CELEBRATE, THE MORE THERE IS TO CELEBRATE 💥⁠

⁠

For your manifestations and your goal setting celebration is a key part of the process. But it's soo often forgotten about. It's easy to hold your joy hostage when things are going the way you want them too. It's so easy to say I'll be successful when I hit (insert external result) ⁠

Listen, that's one way to treat yourself ⁠but in my own experience, it creates that unproductive hustle that leads to burnout = quitting on yourself and your goals ⁠

⁠

You might be reading this thinking, there's nothing for me to celebrate right now. I can guarantee you're 100% wrong ⁠

⁠

And I've recorded this podcast to tell you why. Your ability to celebrate and celebrate well IS the thing that fuels you towards your goals⁠

First on the Dance Floor

Wed, 28 Jul 2021 08:00:42 GMT

It all starts with an idea. We buy a domain. Set up a website and we imagine people stumbling across it and - BOOM! Business success.

But then we start the business and realise it's not at all like that. People don't just find cult businesses. They don't just see a product once and click add to cart. It takes showing up even when it feels like no one is listening. Being the first person on the dancefloor is about showing up and stepping out. In this episode, I talk about the importance of getting seen regardless of how uncomfortable it might feel.

I'm A Millionaire and Other Affirmations

Wed, 30 Jun 2021 08:00:31 GMT

Create the life that you want! How? It’s simple, all you need to do is use your biggest asset in business - your BRAIN and let it work for you to manifest the life you desire! Today, I will talk to you about affirmations or ‘towards thoughts’ (as I call them) and how to use them properly. Even if you tried them before and they didn’t work for you.

We will look at what is an affirmation and how to create powerful affirmations that can help you in your business as well as your personal life. It’s your ability to use the power of your brain and your intentional thoughts that will determine the future of your business. As Dr. Joe Dispenza says: "If you’re not being defined by a vision of the future, you’re being defined by a vision of the past". Ready to manifest the life you desire?

Seeking Validation

Wed, 23 Jun 2021 07:12:44 GMT

"seeking validation" is a term that gets thrown around Instagram A LOT. But what does it actually mean? And what consequences is it having on the way you experience your business? In this episode, we explore how our desire to be liked can become a vicious cycle that stops us from showing up for ourselves and our business, how the fear of rejection stops us from winning big. And if this is speaking to you, never fear as I also get into exactly what to do about it.

Pricing and Money Mindset

Wed, 16 Jun 2021 08:00:52 GMT

Money, Money, Money…must be funny in a rich man's world ;) I first brought up the topic of prices in my stories and it has been cropping up in my DMs ever since so I decided to do an IG live and podcast on it to help you with your money mindset and struggles. It really got me thinking about numbers and how we price ourselves.

It’s often a problem for small business owners and creatives who take the audience’s reaction to their prices very personally and let them determine their numbers and ultimately their value. People’s reactions shouldn’t affect the business owners’ perception of the value they give to the world. Let’s break down the barrier of pricing!

Business Lessons from Roller Skating

Wed, 09 Jun 2021 08:00:35 GMT

Believe me, today is the episode you’ve all been waiting for: Roller skating and Business where I share all the lessons I’ve learned from roller skating and how they apply to business. One of my favourite things is that I can look at almost anything around me (yes, even a tree!) and relate it to business so roller skating obviously had to come into this too.

You have to tune in for the 4 key things that roller skating can teach you about business and re-affirm the importance of your mindset. From learning how to fall/fail safely to how to commit to the process and not the end result. I will be showing you how we can take the approach that we have for roller skating (or another activity) and use it in our business. Ready?

Introversion and Confidence

Wed, 02 Jun 2021 08:00:55 GMT

I want to talk about confidence and being introverted. In my work as a coach, I attract a lot of people who identify as introverted, shy, reserved, quiet... which is why I wanted to share with you how you can create confidence regardless of your introverted nature.

Being introverted and being confident are qualities that we don’t often put in the same sentence, we think that those two are the opposites. Many of you tell me that you don't go all-in in your launches and your goals because you are introverted and that this personality trait stops you from taking specific actions. Today, we’ll talk about what personality really is, our interpretation of reality, how the brain works, and how it affects our behaviour and actions. I will also ‘introduce’ you to my mentor, Dr. Joe Dispenza!

Resisting your Full-Time Job

Wed, 26 May 2021 08:00:00 GMT

Do you use your full-time or part-time job against yourself? A lot of people I come across are still working while building their business. And obviously your job is paying your rent and supporting you financially… But you resent it instead of seeing it as an opportunity for that job to serve you and help you grow your business!

That’s what we’re gonna get into today’s episode: all the negative emotions and thoughts you might be having about your job. Going full-time in your business is often used as a marker to determine success but if you already have a full-time job that marker of success of being full-time in your business can hold you back. If that’s your goal though, you need to realize you can’t get there with negative thinking.

Today, I’m gonna share some concepts that you can use no matter where you are on your journey to process some of these negative emotions so you can use the opportunities you have available to your greater success and growth.

Make vision boards work for you

Wed, 19 May 2021 08:00:20 GMT

Can you visualise your success? Can you see your wildest dreams come true? Do you believe that you can achieve your goals?

Today, I would like to talk about vision boards: what they are, what they entail and whether you should make one. I’m gonna share what happened to me with my vision board and what I learned from this experience.

Vision boards are often used when talking about manifestation but a lot of people might struggle with it and I will tell you why that might be. I also explain why the right mindset and belief are key when creating a vision board so it can help you focus on fulfilling your goals instead of highlighting what you haven’t achieved.

Ailie didn’t let society put constrictions on what she can or can’t do. She is a living and breathing example to us all of what is possible when we decide to not live up to the labels that society gives us and we choose to carve out a life’s career and business for our own.

Wed, 14 Apr 2021 08:25:11 GMT

We've all been there. You've got something amazing to share with the world. You've spent time creating and crafting the perfect thing - only to realise that to get it in the hands of your customers, you're going to have to sell to them first. Enter centre stage the feelings of ickiness and images of gross car salesmen.

Katy Prince is an ethical sales coach who teaches services providers how to sell with love and consent. In this episode she drops many nuggets of wisdom to get you out of your fear around selling, so you can connect with your customers

But more than that, Katy is the coach that I worked with in March 2020. When London had just gone into lockdown and I had no idea what 2020 had in store for me. And for that, she holds a very, very special place in my heart. I am certain that you'll fall in love with her ethical, consent led approach to selling.

Boundaries & mental health with Ellamae Statham

Wed, 07 Apr 2021 08:51:10 GMT

Boundaries? Non-existent. Comparison? It's a lifestyle. Burn out? Best friends.

In this weeks episode with illustrator Ellamae Statham, we deep dive into the challenges that come with creating extraordinary growth on Instagram. Ellamae - who is less of an illustrator and more of a magician with a pen - opens up about why mental health and creating boundaries on Instagram are essential parts of building your business, yet they're elements that are often ignored.

As a community we can often glorify the successes; being full-time in your business, selling out a launch, hitting 20K followers on Instagram. Let this episode be a respite from the constant hustle that we often find online. Use it as an invitation to "check yourself before you check your notifications" Quote by Daisy @the_self_hood

Wind, Rain or Shine

Wed, 31 Mar 2021 08:56:00 GMT

Commitment isn't a sexy word. It's certainly not a word used often when we talk about manifestation and growing our business, but I believe that commitment is what separates the dreamers from the doers, the "I wish I could do that" folks on the sides lines from those making their dream happen by getting into the arena.

In this episode, I explore what it looks like to have the kind of commitment to your goals where no wind or rain can stop you. You do the hard thing. You believe you have what it takes and you create the conditions for your manifestations to grow and thrive

We think thoughts and then we create situations, experiences and events equal to those thoughts

And this isn't a new concept. This is the manifestation process happening right now, in your business.

Mind drama and Peanut Butter Captions

Wed, 10 Feb 2021 08:00:05 GMT

You may think it your fear of words, the fact that you hated English at school - that's making it difficult for you to write compelling captions and tell your story online. But I have a slightly different theory. The struggle with writing captions isn't so much about what's on the page - it's the battle that's happening in your mind before you touch the keyboard. The mental drama of imposter syndrome, overthinking and self-doubt is bleaching your captions of personality and magic. In this episode, I break down why we overthink our captions and the one thing that you must do in order to cut through the mental clutter so you can finally connect with customers who love you, for what you do.

Are you ready to learn how to take your audience on a journey that speaks to their desires and has them hitting up your website? ⁠⁠

How to Manifest Anything

Wed, 03 Feb 2021 11:10:11 GMT

Is there a formula for how to manifest the life that you want? I totally think so.

Success leaves clues and one of my favourite things to do whenever I something finally manifests into my physical reality, I always ask: How did I align with it? How was I responsible for making that happen? When you investigate why something finally manifests, you'll see that there a repeatable formula to creating the life and business you want.

In this episode, I break down how I manifested a dream flat and the challenges and obstacles I had to overcome along the way.

Opportunity Cost

Mon, 25 Jan 2021 12:15:44 GMT

What is it? What is the opportunity cost? Our brain is designed to protect us and keep us safe - growth and getting out of your comfort zone isn't what it signed up for!

And one of the ways it does this is by focusing on all the things that could go wrong... Don't set that price people will say things .... don't take time off it means your lazy...don't post that - but when your in fight or flight your brain doesn't show you everything you miss out on if you don't take the risk. When you say yes to your fear or overwhelm you say no to the magic that could have been possible by taking a leap of faith.

In this episode, I share 1 simple, but groundbreaking way to talk your brain out of fear so you can step into the bolder, brighter version of you

Money Stories with Ray Dodd

Wed, 20 Jan 2021 11:40:50 GMT

When we sit outside off the cookie-cutter mould of what a successful business owner should be or should look like, we are often faced with a choice. To choose to be ourself with all our quirks and wonder or assimilate to who we're told society wants us to be. Both are risky moves. In this episode, Ray Dodd explores how our identity shapes how we make money in our business and the unseen blocks that can stop us from getting to that next income level that you might find yourself hustling hard to reach.

Ray, who describes herself as "not your average money coach" helps women in business take up space and make life-changing amounts of money. She's the host of the Money Making Women podcast and runs a 3-month program to help women step into their sense of plenty.

Excellence vs Perfection

Wed, 23 Sep 2020 07:00:18 GMT

If I'm not aiming for perfection, what is the goal? ⁠

⁠

I felt it necessary to do a follow up to last weeks episode as sooooo many of you connected with the idea of perfectionism ⁠

⁠

perfectionism isn't productive ⁠

⁠

it sounds "good" ⁠

⁠

but if you're trying to create perfection it is always at the expense of your own self-worth and it's the reason why you don't have the confidence you want ⁠

⁠

when I hear creatives talk about their perfectionism tendencies I know their not making the money or the success they want ⁠

⁠

This rule is true 100% of the time ⁠

⁠

So what's the difference between the creatives who are broke and struggling to the ones who are leading fulfilling careers? Those known as a visionary in their space? ⁠

⁠

They aim for excellence ⁠

⁠

ALWAYS. ⁠

⁠

In this episode I'll show you how to do the same in your creative business⁠

⁠

so that you can produce results that make bank ⁠

Perfectionism doesn't Sell

Wed, 16 Sep 2020 07:00:01 GMT

In this episode we deeeep dive into the power of your words and what your words are really costing you. PERFECTIONISM. Now, I'm a ex-perfectionist so this comes with love and respect , but you've gotta know that operating from this place is costing you and your creative business big time.

If you call yourself a perfectionist you're likely to;

Have a creative business (but it's more like an expensive hobby) and you're not sure what it's going to take to get to the next level
you haven't launched your brand because your still *working* on it
Your afraid what people will say when you do eventually get the courage to launch

Your business is a vehicle or abundance but it can't bring in the pounds if it just an idea in your google drive

Listen to this episode to finally let go of that identity that's keep you stuck and get to your next level

Oh yeah - if this is you, are your done thinking this way, your going to want to book in a power hour session with me. And it's easy to do.
