Send us a textI'm exploring my dislike for the word resilience and making the case for using "agility" instead. Most people who describe themselves as resilient mean they'll be strong, take anything thrown at them, and weather any storm—regardless of whether they're thriving or barely holding it together.• The problem with resilience is it's built around "toughening up," getting through suffering, and surviving rather than thriving• We're meant to grow, adapt, and expand—not brace ourselves with an armored exterior unable to soften or ask for help• Burnout often comes from being tired of putting on a front, keeping your guard up, and overextending yourself• Agility means feeling our feelings, softening when needed, taking breaks, and being honest in communication• Building capacity to navigate life's challenges means learning to move through emotions without collapsing or repressing them• Shame around weakness keeps us in loops—affecting our vulnerability, communication, and ability to receive help• When you lack emotional and cognitive agility, you get stuck in identity, old behaviors, and limiting stories• True strength isn't about enduring more but about building clarity, self-trust, and flexibility in thinking and feeling• The "strong one" identity may have gotten you far, but it often costs you in intimacy, freedom, passion, and energy for life• Sometimes the biggest risk is simply being yourself—softening, accepting support, and letting go of handling everything aloneDM me at thecompletioncoach on Instagram.

Is it possible that we've been misleading ourselves about life's single, straightforward purpose? Join me as I challenge this notion and open a conversation about embracing life's unpredictability and complexity. Reflecting on the film "Wicked," we weave through themes of legacy, love, and personal meaning, asking what truly defines our contributions to the human narrative.

As children, a lot of us liked to read our horoscopes in the newspaper, but for my guest today, that led to a career in astrology and writing. My guest today is Sade Jackson - astrologer, writer and creativity mentor for creative mavericks, visionaries and muses of soul. When Sade had a reading done by an astrologer at 19, she was told she would one day open her own spiritual business - which, as a sociology student, she couldn't believe would ever be true. After these prolific revelations, she began to study the arts of astrology, which opened up a rabbit hole of new worldly discoveries. Now, over 10 years later, Sade has since become a creative consultant for astrology based apps, has her own astrology column in the Evening Standard and has trained in the energy healing arts of Reiki. Our conversation takes a lot of twists and turns, and you're sure to come out of it pondering so much more than you thought!Sade and I are talking about:How Sade got into astrology and writingBooks that are about more than just self-development or astrologyMaiden, mother and crone energiesThe biggest assumptions people make about Sade and her workThe psychoid, religion and rabbit holesConforming as a society and the people who rebelFinding your creativity inside youConnecting with your chartYou can connect with Sade on her website at thesadejackson.com, on Instagram @thesadejackson or the Mystica Salon account @mystica_salon.If you've enjoyed this episode, please leave me a review and subscribe!

By embracing the bare minimum approach, you are able to create lasting changes, that rules and rigidity just can't achieve. Join me as I reflect on the impact of inflexible mindsets on development and how consistent practice, even at the most basic level, can cultivate belief, courage, and adaptability.  Ultimately GROWTH.  This episode focuses not just on the meditation challenge, but on committing to something with the intention of it being possible, rather than signing up already expecting failure. Challenge your all-or-nothing attitude and find more and more ways to make it possible, enabling change to be continuous rather than ALL IN then ALL OUT. Feel free to connect with me on Instagram or email, and don't forget to share your thoughts and feedback. If you've enjoyed this episode, please leave me a review and subscribe!

Everyone knows how important I think it is to know who you are, what you like and dislike without just copying someone else to "fit in". My guest today knows this too - she's Bec Morris, a Brand Consultant who holds 15 years of invaluable experience in the industry. Throughout her career, she has had the privilege of working with some of the largest and most prestigious brands in the world, gaining an unparalleled insight into what it takes to create a truly successful brand. We had a really interesting discussion all about the importance of getting uncomfortable, creating your own rituals (no, we don't mean sacrificing someone) and why Bec doesn't like the term "personal brand".Bec and I are talking about:What Bec has battled with to get to where she is nowChecking in with yourself about how you want your life to beThe problems with the term "personal brand"Why we don't avoid the hard stuff any moreThe fact that you are not your business and your business is not youRegulating your nervous systemBlending in or standing out?You can connect with Bec on Instagram @_becmorris or on her website at becmorris.co.uk.If you've enjoyed this episode, please leave me a review and subscribe!

Chatting ALL the things with Astrologer Francesca Oddie - myself and Fran met many years ago when I used to run a retreat company and she came along just as she was stepping into being an Astrologer.  From understanding signs, the many layers of astrology, numerology and not it seems - the cards - together with how she ended up looking through the lens of astrology to understand people in relation to each other and being on a TV show advising on this!Her passion to help people understand their needs, inner conflicts, passions and growth lessons shines through.  Reminding people of their gifts and bringing all of her joy into a reading to help you be more curious for life.  We also discuss being a modern astrologer and changing the perception of peoples attitude towards astrology.Although chatting astrology is one thing (and often confusing to many), Fran towards the end of the episode runs through some of the current transits on my chart and discusses me astrologically - we thought it might help you to hear how some of these things translate as a snippet to reflect on what we have been discussing.You can find Fran's website here:  https://www.francescaoddie.com/and on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/francescaoddieastrology/If you've enjoyed this episode, please leave me a review and subscribe!

I've been having a lot of conversations recently with different types of people who are in different circumstances about the topic of understanding who you are, what you like and don't like, what you stand for, who you want to be and how you want to live it. Then, taking all of this knowledge, and assessing how your life currently is and seeing what is in agreement or conflict with how you want to be living. In reality, most people never consider these things and if that's you, it's totally holding you back from living the life that you deserve!In today's solo episode, I'm diving into:Recognising who you are and what you like and don't likeFragility and being afraid of self-developmentGetting into your body and out of your mindBeing heart-led vs business-ledWhy you need to stop talking into the echo-chambers of agreementThe word "resilient" and why I think we should stop using itVulnerability and going deep with othersIf you've enjoyed this episode, please leave me a review and subscribe!

So many of us are terrified of public speaking, but have you ever considered what causes that? It's not usually just a direct fear of speaking! That's why today's episode with Kay Munday, speaking coach, is so valuable - it breaks down to so much more than just opening your mouth on a stage. She is an international speaker and coach on a mission to eradicate labels through the power of storytelling. Kay firmly believes effective story-telling is the most important tool in your toolbox and she draws on the learning within her own journey from dyslexia, an introvert who suffers with anxiety, and a professional who hated all forms of speaking, to a now internationally recognised presence and Google's go-to speaking coach.Kay and I are talking about:How Kay helps people become better speakersLearning how to communicate better with yourselfWhy self trust is so important in changing your lifeFear of speaking and why that's not usually your problemFailure vs learningsDoing the right thing for you and putting yourself firstProcessing where you're at before moving forwardsLearning to ask for helpBeing open about your storiesYou can connect with Kay over on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn, or on her website at kaymunday.com.If you've enjoyed this episode, please leave me a review and subscribe!

Sometimes the best businesses are those that start totally by accident, and my guest today has fallen into a number of her businesses through her own personal journey from recovering from an eating disorder and beginning to share content about that online. Joining me today is Steph Elswood, a health and fitness advocate, professional dancer, director of body confidence workshops 'Stay Sassy', Author of 'Plant to Plate' and Founder of 'Sasstainable', 'Dry Disco' and 'Carouse'. I found her originally as 'Healthy Chef Steph' and instantly connected with her approach to wellness and sobriety. In today's episode, we're going deep into Steph's journey from anxiety following drinking in the pub after her boyfriend's rugby matches, to becoming sober and eventually starting her own non-alcoholic drinks company after noticing a gap in the market.Steph and I will be chatting about:How Steph got started making content to help her recover from her eating disorderThe companies Steph has started and her newest one, a non-alcoholic drinks rangeChallenges and obstacles that come with running businessesWhy Steph stopped drinking when she was 22How giving up drinking actually gives you the things you were looking for in drinking originallyPeople pleasing and sharing your life onlineAuthenticity and vulnerabilityIf you'd like to stay in Steph's circle, you can follow her on Instagram @stephelswood and YouTube @StephElswood and follow her non-alcoholic drinks company on Instagram @drinkcarouse.If you've enjoyed this episode, please leave me a review and subscribe!

A solo episode today - and I'm back with my usual attitude, of course! A question I want you to ask yourself is "is the self-development work I'm doing actually leading me to develop, change and grow?". If the answer is no - we need to work out why, and that's where today's episode will come in handy. If you're taking in all the information, but being passive about implementing it, then you really need to sit down and think about what's truly going on. And if you're blaming the planets, astrology or signs as a reason to wait or why it's not your fault (coming from someone who works with astrology and loves this stuff) - this episode might be a bit of a wake-up call!Today I'm diving into:Why you can't be passive when it comes to self-developmentTaking self-responsibility for changes you need to makeGetting out of umbrella terminology and looking at factsThe reason you set such high standards for yourselfDetangling your self-worth from your business or employmentWhat your "personal brand" truly meansWorking out what you need to stop doing instead of what you need to start doingIf you've enjoyed this episode, please leave me a review and subscribe!

When we've been doing something so well in the past, moving into a new career or phase of life can be scary. It takes a lot of bravery to be able to take that leap, and today's guest is proof that when we live life aligned to our values, we can truly thrive. Joining me for this conversation is Fran Millar, who is currently CEO of men's fashion brand Belstaff and previously was one of the founding members and senior management of Team Sky, potentially one of the most successful professional cycling teams ever to exist.

I love exploring different topics within the realm of self-development on this podcast and today's episode is no different. We'll be diving into the wonderful world of breathwork, which if you haven't tried before, can over time allow you to reduce stress and improve sleep and focus, as well as release emotions and understand yourself as breath can be a mirror of lots of our behaviours, physiology and psychology.Joining me today is Rob Rea, a breathwork coach who worked in banking for 5 years before realising it wasn't his path. His journey with breathwork started over a decade ago in Bali where he discovered within stillness, a sanctuary for creativity, introspection and healing. Over the past decade he has dedicated himself to exploring various breathwork practices and methodologies and his path has taken him on a global adventure, where he has integrated breathwork, meditation & somatic experiencing techniques into his daily life.Today Rob and I will be chatting about:How Rob transitioned from banking to modelling to breathwork coachingWhy calmness is a practice and what brings Rob back to his calmHow awareness gives you the power to chooseThe things that hold people back from starting breathworkWhat breathwork can do for you and your bodyMicro-choices and increasing your percentage of changeHow Rob would like to see the breathwork world change in the futureYou can connect with Rob on his website at robrea.co.uk or on Instagram at @robrea__.If you've enjoyed this episode, please leave me a review and subscribe!

It's a very special day today... my 46th birthday! In celebration of that, we're going to have a little reflection episode and also cover navigating those voices in our head that challenge us. I can honestly say that right now I feel the best I've ever felt in my whole life, and so if you're reading this or listening to today's episode thinking that you're too late or should be further ahead by now - just breathe and take a moment. Things only really started to change for me once I stopped avoiding the inner work that I didn't want to do and challenged the way I was thinking and behaving.

Today's episode is one of my favourites I've ever recorded - diving deep into the topics of self-perception, putting yourself through suffering, and learning what fulfils you with my guest, Lewis Robling. Lewis is an ex-professional rugby player of 10 years, who since discovering ultra running in lockdown, has left the rugby world behind and become an ultra running coach and founded his own events company called "Why We Run".

Brand and website designer and vision strategist, Becky Symes has come to join me on the podcast today and we have such a good episode in store for you! I invited Becky on after connecting with her on Instagram and wanted to bring over some of the amazing conversations we've had there to allow for a deeper discussion on the podcast. We've chatted about lots of things surrounding purpose, being a female in business and the insecurities many women face about taking up space and struggling with their visibility wounds when it comes to personal branding. It's so vital that we unlink our self-worth from our businesses and maintain those boundaries in order to allow ourselves to continue on our personal development journey.Today Becky and I are chatting about:Undoing visibility woundsThe role gender plays in businessPersonal branding, authenticity and viralityBeing bolder with our beliefs and valuesChanging internal thoughts to change the exteriorSlowing downYou can connect with Becky via her website at beckysymes.com or on Instagram at @beckysymes.If you've enjoyed this episode, please leave me a review and subscribe!

I am an advocate for the bare minimum - and that doesn't mean doing the least amount possible, or just trying something once - if you tell me you've completed something, I'll ask you "how many times?"! To me, the bare minimum is the act of taking small, consistent action towards our goals. We can often find that situations feel hard or gritty and we think that means that things aren't "right", when really, we need someone to come and poke us in the face to point out that things are meant to be hard and sometimes life has challenges that are meant to expand us. Well, I'm here with an episode that is exactly the poke in the face that you didn't even know you needed!Today I'm talking about:What I really mean by the bare minimumEmbracing challenges and obstaclesThe importance of being in the best possible "state" and considering what you needFocusing on what you can controlIf you've enjoyed this episode, please leave me a review and subscribe!

I'm so happy that values are something nowadays that we are a lot more open about discussing and sharing with others. Even companies and brands have their own values now! But so often we apply our values to others, but not ourselves, and so today's episode is going to be focusing on values but from the shadow side. For example, is kindness one of your values? But from the shadow side, you aren't compassionate towards yourself and you're great at being a people pleaser to your own detriment. Working on aligning ourselves with our values truly can teach us so much about ourselves and help us to work on our self-development.Today we're talking about:Why I think it's so important to understand our valuesExamples of how to look at your values from the shadow sideHow to apply your values to yourself and not just othersRe-evaluating when your values clash with each otherIf you've enjoyed this episode, please leave me a review and subscribe!

Self perception is our inner limitation, outer conclusion jumping view of the world and ourselves.  What we see isn't always the full view and our ideas about ourselves and other people are being formed in a way that can create a whole host of behaviours.  Sometimes these behaviours work in our favour, sometimes they determine whether we'll even try! If you think back to a time where a friend was really struggling with a problem, and you were secretly thinking "why can't they just get on with solution X?", that was an example of how their self perception was influencing them to see the solution as more of a problem than you would have. They've probably thought the same about a problem you had at some point! Self-perception plays such a huge part in our lives and if we are to move forward with our self-development journey, we need to work on our self-awareness and start to understand our blockers and why we do the things that we do.Today I'm diving into:The different types of perceptionWhy we do self-developmentThe difference between the presenting problem and the real problemWhy it's important to develop your self-awarenessHow I think spirituality helps your self-discoveryIf you've enjoyed this episode, please leave me a review and subscribe!

All or nothing thinking - the perfect illusion to make you think that you're passionate, committed, all go go go. It's just a trick! All or nothing just means we will come back to nothing, once we aren't able to give our all any more. If I called you a "continuous starter" instead, you wouldn't be as happy about that descriptor, I'm sure. Fundamentally, you'll find yourself going around in circles and feeling as though you're never able to make progress anywhere, because you'll always have great reasoning as to why you had to stop that thing you wanted to do. Combined with being a people pleaser, you'll find you're always able to complete things for others, but not for yourself, leaving your imposter syndrome raging. Sounding all too familiar? Dive into today's episode!Today I'm chatting about:How all or nothing thinking is just tricking your mindWhy this thinking will affect the things you want to do for yourselfPeople pleasing vs your personal goalsYour internal quitter & how they feed your imposter syndromeWhy you "can't even finish a book"Journal prompts to help you complete something that's been on your list a whileBook a 1:1 session with me here or learn more about working with me in other ways here.If you've enjoyed this episode, please leave me a review and subscribe!

Yes, it's another discipline episode, but this time through a different lens! If you're still thinking to yourself that being disciplined means using force with yourself to get things done, you're really going to want to have a listen to today's episode. There are so many areas of our life that need us to be disciplined, and I think one of the most important is rest. Have you ever noticed that when you take a break, you get ill? So you start to think that you're healthier when you're busier, and slowing down is bad for you. Well, that's all tied into your nervous system and it's time to realise that you aren't actually thriving when you're in that state. So have a listen to today's episode, and start to think about whether you're truly giving your body the rest it needs.Today I'm talking about:Why hyper-independent people avoid restHow I used to rest, compared with nowThe different areas of your life that you need to be disciplined in that aren't workThe forgotten art of waiting and slowing downWhy self-diagnosis and inaccurate labels are stopping you livingComing to that thing you're avoidingYou can book a one-to-one session here, and find out more details about working with me in other ways here.If you've enjoyed this episode, please leave me a review and subscribe!

If you listened to last week's episode, you'll know that my word of the year in 2024 is discipline. In today's episode, I'm going a little deeper into discipline and how I'm using it this year to support positive change in my life. I'll be sharing examples of how I'm using discipline - and that's definitely not as a rod to beat myself with, nor as a way to do more or even as a way to try to overachieve! Tune into today's episode if discipline is your word of the year, or you just feel like you could do with a little extra discipline boost this year!I'm going to be talking about:How disciplined I felt I was in 2023The way I wanted to approach January 2024The things I've implemented to improve my discipline this yearWhat the data told me about why I struggled last yearThe link between productivity and restAll or nothing vs the bare minimumHabit stacking on the toilet!If you'd like a one-to-one session with me as a one-off, you can book these for January, February or March here.If you've enjoyed this episode, please leave me a review and subscribe!

Welcome to series 2 of And What Else! If you're a new listener, I'm so happy that you're joining us, and if you're a returning listener, thank you so much for coming back! In today's episode, we're hitting the ground running with a topic that's certainly a lot of peoples' word of the year for 2024 (and mine!) - discipline. In my mind, discipline isn't about being tough or stern with yourself, it's finding the flexible way forward rather than the excuse why not. It's simply a tool that will help you to cultivate a habit that aligns you with achieving your goals, not some horrible way to bully yourself. So, if you feel like you've been looking at discipline in the wrong way, tune in to today's episode to learn more about how to reframe this word and begin to actually start holding yourself accountable.In this episode, we're discussing:The definitions of consistency and disciplineWhat manifesting is and isn'tHow being a people pleaser is affecting your personal growthGiving yourself permission to be disciplined to look after yourself and how it affects you if you don'tMy thoughts on the quote "I'm not available for anything that disrupts my peace"Becoming aware of the energy you're aroundReframing the "I'm a manifesting generator" excuseIf you're interested in diving deeper into discipline, completion, seeing it through and nervous system regulation, join me in The Bridge 10 week course which starts in March!If you've enjoyed this episode, please leave me a review and subscribe!

It's the final episode of 2023! What a whirlwind this year has been - and how quickly it's gone! The podcast launched back in March, and we're rounding up 36 episodes in this first week of December, as I think we all just need a bit of space over this crazy season (my thoughts on that - another episode in itself!).
