The Connection Between Self-Love And Intuition: The Best Reason To Love Yourself.

Intuition is an extraordinary aspect of human cognition, a silent navigator guiding us through the complexities of life. It's an inherent ability that can lead us to make decisions that align with our true selves, but only if we trust it. 
The key to unlocking the full potential of our intuition lies in self-love. When we love ourselves, we trust ourselves, which empowers our intuition. This episode explores the profound connection between self-love and intuition, the types of intuitive thinking, and how these can positively impact our lives.

The Science Of Child Development: Do Consequences And Rewards Work? Why It's Time To Do Away With The Old Model

Parenting is a journey, it has joys, challenges, and countless growth opportunities. As caregivers, we hold a profound responsibility to nurture the development of our children, shaping their futures and influencing the adults they will become. In this pursuit, understanding the science of child development and embracing a connection-based approach to parenting becomes paramount. Drawing insights from esteemed experts such as Dr Vanessa Lapointe, Dr Shefali Tsabary, and Dr Dan Siegel, let's delve deeper into how cultivating a strong parent-child connection lays the foundation for healthy development and fosters a sense of self-worth and resilience in our children. I have used this in many of my coaching sessions, but more importantly, I have used it on my own kids, because I wasn’t doing a great parenting job.
 
In this podcast episode, I break it down and talk about what all of this means.

Don’t Shine Too Bright!: How Lack Of Self-Recognition And Fear Of Celebrating Your Achievements Can Impact Your Mental Health

In a society that values humility and modesty, many individuals find themselves grappling with the inclination to downplay their accomplishments. The pervasive fear of being perceived as boastful or overshadowing others has significant consequences, particularly on one's mental well-being. This reluctance to acknowledge one's achievements transcends various facets of life, including the realms of work, friendships, family, and academia. The act of dimming one's light to avoid outshining others can erode authenticity and contribute to emotional distress.
This podcast delves into the repercussions of such behaviour. It offers practical strategies to help individuals break free from this self-limiting pattern, urging them to embrace their true selves unapologetically, irrespective of potential consequences. From a workplace perspective, the phenomenon often manifests as "imposter syndrome," creating a barrier to career advancement and fostering feelings of inadequacy and stress among professionals striving to maintain harmonious relationships with colleagues.
