Quote - “The day you stop blaming others, is the day you begin to discover who you truly are.” UnknownDuring this episode we recap on the three part series on How to quit doing those things that no longer serve us and those within our sphere of influence and may actually be causing harm. During this discussion we explore the final three areas that we may need to consider quitting or letting go, what that process may entail, the impacts of letting go or holding on to that may be holding us back from becoming the best version of ourselves. In most cases, it's never a straightforward process from trauma to moving forward, from evolution to space space travel and inner soul searching, to giving self permission to heal and how to forgive but truly not forget, this is a must listen to episode. You definitely will be on the edge of your seats for this one.Outro quote“We have become adept at exploring outer space but we have not developed similar skills in exploring our own personal inner space. In fact the longest journey is the journey inwards” Dag Hammersjold

NeitzcheRecap on 3 areas discussed during How to Quit Part 1.This discussion is inspired by the book "Emotionally Healthy Woman" by Geri Scazzero.Discussed concept of how and what areas we may look at quitting in order to assess what we need to do to become the best version of ourselves. The question at the centre of this discussion remains to ascertain if there are things that add value or are distracting us in our lives. If the latter is the case, then we may need to decide to quit these behaviours, limiting self beliefs or toxic interactions in order to move toward a productive, healthy state of being for ourselves and for those within our sphere of influence.

During this episode, we discuss coping with work place stress. For many of us, at one stage or another, we can identify with feelings of work place stress. These pressures can have many origins, can last for short or longer periods of time and have temporary or long lasting outcomes and side effects. This episode explores a range of common sources of work related stress. Some of the effects and toll that coping with work place stress can have on our bodies and minds and emotional well-being.

Giving up is always an option, but not always a failure - Cameron Conaway. In this episode we explore the idea of quitting as negative but went on to talk about some areas we thought were critical to be able to confidently quit in. This episode is inspired by the book The Emotionally healthy woman by Geri Scazerro. Areas identified as things would like to stop doing:Quit being afraid of what others thinkKey to be able to separate between caring what other people think on what's actually important and being afraid of facing the perceptions of ourselves through other people's lenses.Don't be driven by fear and where fear is identified as a factor, pause and ask if this is healthy and/or does this serve you.

Today’s topic is one very dear to us, Cultivating Confidence.This battle of perceived and real identities isn’t only something you and I may encounter but people we may think have it all together battle with this as well. I recently listened to a discussion with one of my fav artists, Florence Welch from Florence and the Machine, she shares her experience of overcoming challenges, “personal anxieties” and how she grapples with imposter syndrome in that she has personal thoughts that people may come along and tell you that this new life or this peaceful life that you’ve created is a lie and we know who you really are and everything that you’ve built for yourself could get taken away!” The British Social Attitudes Survey asked questions about Body Confidence. Some of the findings are worth noting that 37% of adult women and 26% of men are dissatisfied with their appearance; for women, this can remain an issue across all life stages. So what that means is nearly half of adults think that how you look affects what you can achieve in life and around one-in-three believe that “your value as a person depends on how you look”. In this Podcast we discuss this and share our thoughts on how we can cultivate confidence in our own little way. Hope you enjoy and look forward to hearing what you think.
