Anne joins Anthea to discuss her own experiences with domestic abuse and how she escaped the terrifying cycle of abuse she suffered at the hands of her partners, as well as her work and how she helps others to gain and maintain meaningful, empowering relationships.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • People sometimes suffer domestic abuse in silence because they are afraid to talk about the things that matter. If we don't vocalise, then we cannot hope to heal effectively.
  • Escaping domestic abuse is not an easy thing. Often we are so conditioned by the time it begins that our initial reaction to its appearance is a loss of hope and a feeling of being trapped.
  • Cultures often dictate that women are meant to be subservient to their spouses. Submission is taught, and normalised. This needs to change.
  • Change has to begin within ourselves if we want it to take root. Start by loving yourself, which will make abuse a crime against someone we come to care for.

BEST MOMENTS

'Unless we have these conversations, these things keep happening behind closed doors'

'I was experiencing a mix of horror, shock and pain'

'There's a whole complexity of issues going on around it'

'I am worth more, and I will not accept this kind of behaviour'

But it's also vital to make sure that we keep that energy once we have it, and avoid energy drains that can sap the vitality from us. In this episode, Anthea discusses the many factors that can rob us of energy and what we can do to avoid them.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Clutter can lead to a loss of focus. It's nice to make areas personalised, but too much can dilute the attention we give to things that matter.
  • Emails flood in all day long, especially if our work mails are linked with the personal. Try to have designated email times, or you might waste too much time.
  • Social media is a great tool, but you have to use it in the correct measure. Be aware when you're falling down a rabbit hole, and don't get too caught up in negative opinions that can derail your mood.

BEST MOMENTS

'I hate being in clutter. It's not only time consuming but a major distraction'

'My phone is constantly in my hand and I am trying to minimise that'

'We've created a culture where we feel the need to be accessible constantly'

Gina joins Anthea to talk about what it means to take real action in the hopes of creating lasting impact and change, the most effective means of communicating ideas to the world, and the fascinating story of how she came to be where she is today.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • We must live life to the fullest each and every day. The worst tragedy would be to reach our final day on earth holding onto regrets for not having tasted all that life has to offer.
  • Society dictates what we’re meant not to do, but it rarely instils a sense of what we can achieve if we work hard enough.
  • It’s fine to act on things that we’re passionate about, but we should always endeavour to get our point across with grace and dignity.
  • Academic pursuits are necessary for many aspects of life, but they’re not all that matters. Creativity, emotion and artistic expression are vital in creating fully rounded human beings.

BEST MOMENTS

‘My family say I’m an accident waiting to happen – you never know where I’m going to explode next’

‘I don’t want to get old and regret what I didn’t do’

‘Always try and act with grace and dignity’

‘There are things you have to learn, but it’s not all about academia’

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • First we need to answer the question: are we diminishing our achievements? When someone offers praise, do we downplay it or focus purely on the flaws?
  • If we allow ourselves to acknowledge a compliment, no matter how uncomfortable we may feel at the time, it can act as a fantastic motivation tool.
  • The act of diminishing ourselves and shrinking isn't exclusive to women - men suffer from it too. The ones who tend to succeed in their goals often have a great support network.

BEST MOMENTS

'Building confidence and a sense of empowerment is at the very heart of what I do'

'The next time you receive praise, limit yourself to a smile and say thank you'

'Are you justifying yourself unnecessarily?'

]]> Striking Balance Between Life And Work, and Taking Effective Action - with Sakshi Chhabra Mittal Striking Balance Between Life And Work, and Taking Effective Action - with Sakshi Chhabra Mittal Tue, 09 May 2023 23:00:00 GMT 50:01 03836e9b-c493-4305-b304-aff8009e1839 false https://omny.fm/shows/action-women/striking-balance-between-life-and-work-and-taking 64be63e366d3a00011651ef8 64be63dc6728150011742d2e full 22 Anthea is joined by Sakshi Chhabra Mittal, the founder and CEO of Foodhak, a revolutionary new food subscription delivery start-up where the emphasis is on healthy medicinal vegan meals.

Sakshi talks to Anthea about how she took action to create one of the world's most exciting new brands, the story of how she set herself on the road to success, and how she developed her personal mission to change the world's views about food.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • People sometimes discount the effect that our diet has upon our physicality. Changes can lead to extraordinarily positive outcomes. Always consult a specialist, and look for ways to improve.
  • Governments spend an astonishing amount of money upon healing those with chronic illnesses brought about by poor dietary habits. Instead, we should focus spending upon prevention and education so as to change attitudes towards the things we eat.
  • We may think that the way we eat is specialised to us, but as Sakshi has discovered, there are many people out there who require a specialist diet. Building a business upon a niche can help you to tap into a hardcore, loyal following.
  • Working out the work life balance is as simple as figuring out what you want to achieve in your career, and then figure out a life and balance around it.

BEST MOMENTS

'I found myself quite attracted on the business side of things'

'People seem to be very sticky on topics like this'

'I didn't take no for an answer'

‘Create a plan to execute on the things you are passionate about’

ABOUT THE GUEST

Sakshi is the Founder and CEO of FoodHak, a revolutionary new food subscription delivery start-up where the emphasis is on healthy medicinal vegan meals.

The mother-of-two comes with a biotech background, having earned a Biotechnology degree from the University of Birmingham and an MBA from Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. She began her career with a four year sting at Pfizer - moving from clinical trials and regulatory affairs to manufacturing.

Following that, she relocated to India where she saw a gap in the market for a domestic brand of textiles targeted towards the emerging middle class. She subsequently launched a domestic textiles unit for her father’s export business. The business runs profitably today.

After turning to investment, she was poached by SoftBank in California to help manage their early stage funds in Asia and focus on healthcare growth equity investments. Sakshi led the $1billion equity investment into Roivant Sciences and has served on its board for the last five years.

She has worked across a range of sectors but boasts particular experience in healthcare and the life sciences and says her focus is on the huge opportunities presented through the intersection of computation and biology and the role that the genomic revolution can play in addressing some of the largest issues facing society. Most of her investments are now public and have paved the way for new science/innovation in their respective fields.

Sakshi sees businesses from both a corporate and entrepreneurial perspective. After suffering from an illness during her first pregnancy, she transformed her diet and turned flexi vegan with positive health results. She then conceived the idea to create clinically-backed meals delivered via subscription to those who wish to similarly improve their health.

In 2021, she founded FoodHak which is seeing strong early growth.

Tue, 02 May 2023 23:00:00 GMT 24:58 2c555f28-25d0-4d49-b52d-aff2007a5a9c false https://omny.fm/shows/action-women/how-coachable-are-you 64be63e366d3a00011651ef9 64be63dc6728150011742d2e full 21 Anthea discusses the relationship between you and your potential coach, examining the question: just how coachable are you in the first place? As she explains, it isn't always enough to seek out a coach - there's also a level pf self-preparation that must take place beforehand.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • If you are serious about any type of goal, no matter what form it takes, it's likely that you'll end up investing in some type of support in order to get you there more quickly.
  • If you are not actually coachable, then it may be a waste of time and money to hire a coach. It could also lead to a loss of trust within yourself when it comes to improvement.
  • There can be a natural, subconscious desire to deflect guidance or advice when it is given to us, in the vain hope that we are self-reliant and do not need guidance. This can be misguided and can block development.
  • Asking questions is always a positive thing. never be afraid to do so as it leads to rapid growth. Remember that you cannot possibly know everything, so it's okay to ask

BEST MOMENTS

'Ask yourself how good you are at taking advice'

'Take a little bit of ownership and self awareness'

'Once I give myself that time to reflect, I've thought yes, that's a really good idea'

'It's okay to keep asking questions'

]]> Confidence Cheerleading - with Angela Poole Confidence Cheerleading - with Angela Poole Tue, 25 Apr 2023 23:00:00 GMT 57:36 4e56767a-81a1-4a74-8940-afee009917ad false https://omny.fm/shows/action-women/confidence-cheerleading-with-angela-poole 64be63e366d3a00011651efa 64be63dc6728150011742d2e full 20 This week, Anthea is joined by Confidence Cheerleader, Angela Poole, who dedicates her life to motivating others and encouraging them to step outside their comfort zone in order to take real action.

Angela talks about how she attained this unique title, why everyone should be treated in a unique way, and how she's spreading her positive message to others through enthusiasm, spirit and joy.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • We may face experiences that challenge us from time to time, but we can use these things to inspire and motivate others.
  • Society loves fitting people into boxes in order to make them easier to deal with. But people are endlessly varied and do not always fit the labels they're given.
  • Comfort zones are unique to you. What feels safe for you might not for someone else. Everyone has a different way of stepping into discomfort.
  • Companies are scaling back their advertising budgets to focus in not so much on celebrities with large, scattershot followings, but people with smaller, more focussed followings.

BEST MOMENTS

'People can take on new challenges and go in directions they never thought were possible'

'Character is made up of so many different traits'

'Not everyone has to tackle things the same way'

'Always focus on the small wins'

]]> Creating Our Best Nutritional Roadmap Creating Our Best Nutritional Roadmap Tue, 18 Apr 2023 23:00:00 GMT 18:17 e7595ac7-51f3-46a6-975a-afe7006e98be false https://omny.fm/shows/action-women/creating-our-best-nutritional-roadmap 64be63e366d3a00011651efb 64be63dc6728150011742d2e full 19 As a nutritional therapist, Anthea works with many clients on making them feel as empowered as possible, so that they're best placed to take action when it matters, but with a universe of information out there, who is the best source? In this episode, Anthea discusses the ways in which we can best plan out our own nutritional roadmap, and set ourselves on the route to success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Nutrition impacts the way we feel about ourselves, which has a knock-on effect when it comes to achieving more, and reaching those goals we're striving for.
  • Diets should be seen differently to nutrition. Nutritional intake is about seeing that our bodies get the best input, and the health benefits that come with differing foods.
  • When it comes to nutrition, it might be best to experiment with certain forms, but it's best not to go too drastic towards any certain type.

BEST MOMENTS

'Nutrition really is a key factor to consider'

'You always want to make sure that someone has the insurance to work with you - to make recommendations'

'Finding a middle ground can be very beneficial'

KEY TAKEAWAYS  

  • Sex is such a large part of our existence, and yet we don't feel comfortable in talking about it openly. It is healthy to discuss sex, even in a professional capacity, with a counsellor or mentor.
  • The best way of relaxing a client when it comes to talking about sex, is to have a confident professional driving the conversation, normalising the terminology until it becomes second nature.
  • Many parents believe that if they discuss sex, it will encourage them to do it from an early age. Studies have shown that this isn't the case, though.
  • There is nothing wrong with exploring yourself in order to best discover the things you like and dislike. We are all unique, and we all have different needs. Communicate this to your partner. Sex is a two way experience.

BEST MOMENTS

'Sex is a big part of life'

'Why is it so taboo? Why do people not talk about it?'

'We work with you to find out what your needs are'

'Bring some fun and fantasy into the room'

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • When we have a hard time, we sometimes feel the urge to close ourselves off rather than inflict our moods upon others. This does lead to more negativity, thereby proving that when we share we show care to ourselves.
  • Social isolation and loneliness have been linked to a 29% greater chance of dev eloping coronary heart disease, and a 32% increased risk of stroke.
  • Never be afraid to admit when connections aren't working for you. If they are removing you from what's important, then find the strength to step away and find connections that nourish you.
  • When you are making an effort to join a network, be yourself and be authentic. Make sure you contribute. You're there to connect, not subtract.

BEST MOMENTS

'2020 made us stop and think about how we connect with other people'

'It's been well-studied that we need social connection for our own health'

'I've made a lot more effort to become involved with local networking groups'

'You do need to go about this authentically'

]]> Diversity and Determination Are A Recipe For Success - with Renu Ballantine Diversity and Determination Are A Recipe For Success - with Renu Ballantine Wed, 22 Mar 2023 00:00:00 GMT 59:06 b795c605-085d-411a-b5af-afcc007a4a17 false https://omny.fm/shows/action-women/diversity-and-determination-are-a-recipe-for-succe 64be63e366d3a00011651efe 64be63dc6728150011742d2e full 16 Renu Ballantine is the mastermind and culinary maestro behind Chef Renu B, a private chef service based in Surrey with Chef Ballantine at the forefront of the action and decision making.

Renu joins Anthea this week to talk about the passion that ignited her business empire, the path she took through the corporate world, why diversity and inclusion mater so much, and her insatiable drive for success - one that led her to taking decisive action when it mattered, and which has now paid off handsomely in terms of business success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Those with a true entrepreneurial spirit often feel the need to break through the societal expectations placed upon us, especially in terms of career. Entrepreneurs are always looking for a way to work with their passions.
  • Those who disregard the talent pool available by opening the door to inclusion are missing out on making their companies truly great.
  • The world of being a private chef is incredibly competitive, and the best rise to the top through a combination of credibility and talent.
  • The world of business and personal growth becomes stagnant if we are not pushing ourselves to do better, to learn more, to discover new tools within ourselves. Stepping outside of our comfort zone is a natural step towards growth.

BEST MOMENTS

'I wasn't a stay-at-home corporate spouse type'

'We championed women, We celebrated women. We coached women'

'If I'm not learning new things then it can get boring. It can feel as though I am not progressing'

'I've really enjoyed being creative'

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • We all need sources of mental energy in order to keep us on the right track towards our goals. When we lose access to these, it can derail our action plans.
  • By prioritising the factors we can control, we get that small endorphin rush of achievement, and re-energise the plans we make.
  • When your confidence has been dented, there's nothing wrong with taking the small easy wins - it gets you back in the flow.

BEST MOMENTS

Few people are more experienced when it comes to taking real action towards the goals ahead, and in this episode, she talks to Anthea about her inspiring mission in life, her powerful and sometimes painful journey from zero to hero, and the pioneering ways in which she is helping others to defeat the traumas of the past and push on towards the heights of success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS  

  • When we come from tough beginnings, it can inspire us to push harder and work tirelessly to elevate our lives.
  • The only limit to what we can achieve are the limitations we apply mentally. By achieving more, our vision gets bigger, and the goals we can go for become more productive.
  • When we share the stories of our journeys, it doesn't just provide a sense of closure and achievement for ourselves, but provides inspiration and encouragement for others who may be going through something similar.
  • Incredible things can be achieved if we use the pains of the past as fuel to accelerate growth and increase resilience.

BEST MOMENTS

'I'm very much focussed on success and achieving results'

'We're always limited by what we think we can achieve'

'I was fascinated by human behaviour'

'In releasing all of that, it was a fuel to drive me to help others, plus become world champion'

KEY TAKEAWAYS  

  • Even if things are going well for you, it's always wise to see why this is and how we achieved it. it can help to guide our plans in the future.
  • A broader, external perspective can allow us to see where we're going wrong, and what factors might be slowing down our progress.
  • If tasks are impeding you, then consider leveraging them out to others. It may be that freeing up some of your time will allow you to move more swiftly towards the goals that matter.

]]> Mastering Confidence Is The Key To Unlocking Your Dreams - with Natalie Arabella Bailey Mastering Confidence Is The Key To Unlocking Your Dreams - with Natalie Arabella Bailey Wed, 22 Feb 2023 00:00:00 GMT 1:25:46 099b5b00-e890-4f9f-8ae0-afa800fcd05d false https://omny.fm/shows/action-women/natalie-arabella-bailey 64be63e466d3a00011651f02 64be63dc6728150011742d2e full 12 Natalie Bailey is a Property Developer and Coach and Mentor as well as the creator of the Confidence Mastery podcast. Having over 10 years’ experience in running businesses, including Bars, Gyms, and eCommerce she now has a property development business with her business partner and Mum, Paula. She helps others be more confident and successful in health, wealth & happiness so they can live the life they dream of.

No one knows more about not just how to take action, but when, and in this inspiring, empowering episode, Natalie talks about the value of confidence, how practice makes perfect, and why saying yes can lead to a world of new opportunities.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

  • The key to development and effectiveness is practice. Keep persevering on the tasks you wish to perfect, and in time you'll gain mastery.
  • Incremental gains feel achievable, especially if we add elements that make the process fun. The results soon stack up.
  • We sometimes get so bogged down by the serious side of development. We need to return to a more creative, pure way of bettering ourselves.
  • We need to embrace the affirmation side of life. Say yes more! Try to agree to more and more, and you'll find your boundaries being tested in a good way.

BEST MOMENTS

'You're never going to improve if you don't keep practising'

'Consistency equals success'

'Exploring creativity, as if you're a child, also helps'

'I love anything that you can "gamify"'

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • We do many things every day that we aren’t motivated to do. We just need to learn how to harness those other ways of getting things done when we lose motivation.
  • Our plans and environment are important in achieving our goals, we can’t solely rely on motivation.
  • Habits are one of the most important things to create, aiding you in your success to achieve.
  • Discipline can feel extreme, but it is also incredibly effective in helping us meet our goals and act.
  • Planning ahead is another way to move forward when you have lost motivation. Try and set things up to be as easy as possible in your day-to-day.
  • Motivation is still important, it’s what gets us started and creates excitement.
  • Doing something new is a simple way to re-motivate yourself.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Really, it’s just a chance to think about how we can apply that whilst trying to reach our specific goals’

‘We want habits to start to become second nature’

‘Discipline plays a huge part’

‘We need to set ourselves non-negotiables’

‘Use the novelty factor to your advantage, whenever we try something new it is exciting for us’

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • We've all heard the expression "Nothing changes if nothing changes". If we want to change our circumstances, we need to take ownership and accept that changes must be made.
  • Every beneficial action we've made in life began with a feeling of discomfort - such as starting school, a new job, or even participating in more adult activities and roles following our youth.
  • Fearing the steps we need to take in order to reach our goals can lead to stunted growth and development. We are perfectly capable of conquering fear, we just need to instil self belief.

BEST MOMENTS

'We get nervous about the unknown, but that feeling is temporary'

'You've had to move out of your comfort zone'

'That initial fear factor can build into a big thing!'

]]> Changing Your Relationship With Alcohol - An Interview With Carol Urry Changing Your Relationship With Alcohol - An Interview With Carol Urry Wed, 25 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT 54:54 9cd37f55-ce24-43de-8d30-af8000c1af34 false https://omny.fm/shows/action-women/changing-your-relationship-with-alcohol-an-intervi 64be63e466d3a00011651f06 64be63dc6728150011742d2e full 8 Carol Urry is the founder of Warrior Mum Coaching, a specialist service designed to help women become alcohol free and thereby improve relationships, wellbeing and energy levels.

 

Carol joins Anthea to talk about her amazing work, and why changing our relationship with alcohol is the key to unlocking a happier, more productive and more aspirational life for ourselves and those we love.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

 

  • Social drinking can lead to a deeper reliance on it, and a subsequent sense that it can medicate away the bad days we're having. This impacts our health and our relationships in real time.
  • When you drink, without realising it, we aim for the buzz it provides. Our brains then become accustomed to the highs it provides, and we crave more.
  • Alcohol is one of the most addictive substances out there, and yet it's something that we're expected to moderate without any external help. Society encourages us to consume more, and normalises it everywhere.
  • Once we make the first step towards recovery, we've conquered the hardest part. The will to keep drinking eventually runs out, we just need to take that initial reactive step towards help.

BEST MOMENTS 

'Alcohol was a self-medication tool for me'

'I've been there, done it and got the t-shirt'

'Alcohol is a very addictive substance'

'People have to battle on a daily basis with these cravings and these triggers'

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

 

  • Society places conditions upon us by choosing the way we should look, but we should never assume that what's right for others is right for us.
  • When we engage in specialised sports training, we're not only training and losing weight, but learning a new skill and focussing upon what we're doing in every moment.
  • When weight loss is no longer our sole driver, and with the focus shifted away from simply burning calories, it frees up a huge amount of mental energy.

BEST MOMENTS 

'I help people to rediscover how good they're supposed to feel'

'I became fascinated by the impact that food an nutrients could have on us'

'This was a complete game changer for me'

Jess joins Anthea to discuss her mission, the ways in which she's taken action in order to get there, and how you can use the principles of "Dream big, start small and never give up" to help you hit your own goals.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

 

  • You can hit any goal you want if you start in an achievable way and work towards incremental gains. Starting small is the key to finishing big.
  • Jess lost her first five fights before she got a win, but eventually became a two-time world champion. Never give up, even if the initial hurdles shake your self-confidence.
  • The things that terrify us in life the most often lead to the biggest gains. Facing down your fears is the keep to true self-development.
  • Most people know ways in which they can improve their diet. Education plays a small part. But the main way to change our habits is to change our behaviour and hypnotherapy can help with this.

BEST MOMENTS 

'I have had quite an action-packed life myself'

'Becoming a champion isn't about always winning. It's about never giving up'

'Stepping into the club was almost as hard as stepping into the ring'

'If I can achieve that, what else can I achieve?'

In this episode, Anthea talks about the best ways in which we should be spending on self-development, and how to make sure we're getting the most for our money.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

 

  • Look at the cost of staying where you are right now in relation to your goals. It's difficult to quantify, but try to examine the state of your wellbeing and how an investment in yourself could actually prove to be something of a bargain.
  • Health issues could actually prove costly in the long run. Would a preventative financial investment now actually save you money in the long run?
  • When considering the best ways to leverage your time, think about the value of your hours, and what you could actually save vs the cost of acquiring external help in order to achieve it more quickly.

BEST MOMENTS 

'This is definitely something you should think about'

'As everything changes, you could actually be regressing'

'You could find that it pays off to invest in that coaching'

]]> Creating The Life Of Your Dreams - An Interview with Sue Parker Creating The Life Of Your Dreams - An Interview with Sue Parker Wed, 11 Jan 2023 00:04:00 GMT 31:33 16ccb1cf-e1c1-4936-a1a7-af8000c0ced5 false https://omny.fm/shows/action-women/creating-the-life-of-your-dreams-an-interview-with 64be63e466d3a00011651f0a 64be63dc6728150011742d2e full 4 Sue Parker is a Female Lifestyle Entrepreneur, author, Business Tech Tools expert, and creator of the Freedom Project Podcast, designed to help empower and allow you to create the life of your dreams.

 

Sue joins Anthea to talk about the ways in which she took control of her life and built a more flexible existence for herself and her family, why we should embrace time as our greatest resource, and why we need to consult our future selves in order to overcome more and impress ourselves.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

 

  • The corporate world allows us to build skills and make incredible connections, but the constraints sometimes far outweigh the benefits. Creating a life of your dreams requires you to step into your own form of working.
  • Time is the one thing we can't make more of. It's a finite resource and every moment we spend doing something we don't love, is time wasted. We can be in danger of losing sight of ourselves.
  • The first step in creating the perfect life is taking risks. Change is never easy, but if we focus on the long term vision then the solutions become far more clear.
  • We must show up as the person we would like to be, and ask ourselves what that person would do in any situation. 

BEST MOMENTS 

'I really wanted to have more flexibility'

'There are things we can outsource in order to do much more'

'You ask yourself "What happened to the me?"'

'It's about having the long term vision over the short term challenges'

]]> Self Sabotage Self Sabotage Wed, 11 Jan 2023 00:03:00 GMT 16:11 b79b7c92-a791-4423-8ffc-af8000c097aa false https://omny.fm/shows/action-women/self-sabotage 64be63e466d3a00011651f0b 64be63dc6728150011742d2e full 3 Anthea discusses self sabotage, one of the most frustrating challenges we face when working towards our health goals.

 

Anthea talks about how to identify this behaviour when it arises, and what we can do to overcome and surpass it in order to keep us moving towards our fitness and wellbeing goals.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

 

  • Self-sabotage is very common in the weight loss arena, especially for those with a perfectionist tendency. The smallest things can often lead us to jettison our entire programme.
  • If you've eaten too much then the feeling can be physically disastrous. It perpetuates a sense of self-loathing and frustration. These feelings lead into other feelings. Try peppermint or fennel tea to alleviate this.
  • Specific breathing exercises can help us to change our state. Box breathing in particular allows us to tap into the para-sympathetic nervous system, which is designed to calm us down.
  • To reach our goals, we have to put in place not one single action, but usually a series of actions. If we find ourselves lacking in one action, then turn your focus to another.

BEST MOMENTS 

'If you get a flat in one tyre, do you then go and slash the other three?'

'The idea is to get a break from your current environment'

'This is our calming rest and digest system'

'I don't like to think of things in black and white'

]]> Understanding The Spiritual Laws - An Interview with Wendy Firmin-Price Understanding The Spiritual Laws - An Interview with Wendy Firmin-Price Wed, 11 Jan 2023 00:02:00 GMT 34:14 51eea42e-e111-4ddf-a836-af8000c05f8d false https://omny.fm/shows/action-women/understanding-the-spiritual-laws-an-interview-with 64be63e466d3a00011651f0c 64be63dc6728150011742d2e full 2 Wendy Firmin-Price is a spiritual mentor, coach and personal and professional development practitioner, as well as the founder of HEART, a centre for equine assisted therapies and equine assisted coaching.

 

Wendy joins Anthea to talk about her incredible ethic, and how she is proving that equine assisted therapy can support and assist our personal growth, and the ways in which we can embrace the spiritual side of the world in order to gain control over our destinies.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

 

  • Listening to someone in pain can sometimes provide the greatest form of healing possible. Simply being there as another soul unburdens themselves can act as a true healing force.
  • When you begin to understand that there is a scientific law behind everything that happens, it makes the belief in spiritual laws, and their perpetual presence in all we do, much easier to understand.
  • The way we are treated by others is often due to the energy we project and the fact that their own sense of the spiritual is interacting with us. The signs are not always visible to the naked eye.
  • When we find our Great Organising Dynamic, tapping into that flow allows us to move far more quickly towards our aims, and also shows us where shortcuts can be taken. it's like a form of spiritual GPS.

BEST MOMENTS 

'The most important thing we can do for anyone is just listen'

'Excel rather than strive for perfection'

'Spiritual laws are always in action'

'Whatever feeling we're having, it all carried a vibrational frequency. Like energy attracts like energy'

]]> How To Get The Most From Self Development How To Get The Most From Self Development Wed, 11 Jan 2023 00:01:00 GMT 13:23 83b2728c-49d6-49e3-9eeb-af8000c01f3c false https://omny.fm/shows/action-women/how-to-get-the-most-from-self-development 64be63e466d3a00011651f0d 64be63dc6728150011742d2e full 1 In this, the first of a brand new series dedicated to helping women to unleash their power and take real action towards their goals, your host, Anthea McCourtie discusses the power of self-development programmes, and why we need to not just consume their teachings, but truly absorb and understand their meaning in order to maximise the gains.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

 

  • Self-development programmes can boost us, accelerate our growth, and help us to change the way we see life, and vie the world around us. But it’s not enough to simply consume, We must also understand and apply.
  • It’s worth taking time to consider the speed at which the teachings need to applied, according to the author. To fully digest and grow from the lessons learned, we should follow the recommended speed where possible.
  • Increased access to creative tools are allowing us to apply teachings to all parts of our lives. We should embrace this.
  • Always take time to summarise an ethos or teaching to yourself in real time. If we can explain a teaching to ourselves so that we fully understand it, then we will absorb far more effectively.

BEST MOMENTS 

‘Could you elaborate on how you applied these things to your life?’

‘it’s easy to fall into some common traps with these kinds of books’

‘When you have a lack of momentum, you can fall out of sequence’

‘You haven’t really understood something until you can explain it to someone else’
