Balance Before Burnout

In today's episode, I'm going back to my roots and talking about burnout. I've been having a lot of conversations about burnout at the moment and in this episode, I dive into why it's not surprising that we are feeling overwhelmed right now and how you can, first of all, find clarity around the catalyst of your overwhelm.

In today's episode, I'm diving into taking the next best step. What stops so many of us back from taking those intentional steps towards doing something different in our lives is the massive gap we see between, where we are now and the end goal. Often it can feel so huge that many of us don't give ourselves a chance to see if we can even get there which is what I'll be challenging today.  Contact Alicia:

In today's episode, I'm digging into the biggest reason my 1:1 clients come to me for coaching, self-doubt. For many of us, self-doubt is the reason that we aren't reaching our goals and as a result, we end up stuck exactly where we are. In this episode, I dive deep into why your self-doubt is showing up and how it's trying to protect not sabotage you.  Contact Alicia:

Oh, this is a good one. In today's episode, I'm diving into a story and lesson that I've learnt very recently. Over the last few months I've been asked questions like, when are you going to get a real job? and what's your proper job then? I'm not to spill all the details here but I can say the people asking these questions aren't talking about my coaching practice! Prepare for your beliefs about what 'real jobs' are to be bulldozed.  Contact Alicia:

In today's coaching episode, I guide you through some questions to help you untangle what's stopping you from making that change in your life that you're hoping for. I dive into limiting beliefs, what they really are and why they're important whilst spending a lot of time chatting about self-doubt and how it holds so many of us back from going from what we want. The aim of this coaching episode is to help you make some meaning and understanding around why you haven't taken any action on your goals yet inviting you to bring in some self-compassion.  Links in the episode:  Contact Alicia:

In today's episode, I'm chatting all about comfort zones. At the time of recording, I'd just completed a 7-day intensive training that was a big step out of my comfort zone. It was this very week five years ago that I first stepped out of my comfort zone and went on a Trek America trip. Alone with 9 other humans, I'd never met after having just turned 21. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had. Perhaps it was, in fact, five years ago that I learnt the most amazing experiences come from getting out of our comfy seats and seeing what else is out there. I believe getting out of your comfort zone is where the magic happens. I also believe it doesn't need to come with all the pressure so many of us put on ourselves which is what I dig into during this episode.
