We are often not scared of failure but of success. Of shining brightly and achieving results beyond our wildest dreams. Why? Well often social conditioning and upbringing will have taught us not to be ‘braggy' and to even feel guilty for being clever or driven or happy. We are driven to seek acceptance and to be part of our ‘tribe' but success and standing out takes us out of this norm and it feels uncomfortable and may even lead to rejection from those we know and love. The solution? Well to clip your own wings to ‘fit in' and not be different. Without realising it we set ourselves an ‘upper limit' to what we should earn, or how successful we should be or who we should mix with or what we should do. You only need to look at many celebrities to see that once they become successful, they start to upper limit themselves (perhaps with drugs, poor relationships, self-loathing etc.). The solution to this is to accept your genius and gifts and stop blocking greatness and joy from your life.

It is so easy to stay in bitterness when we feel badly done to or there is something unjust that has happened. In this episode, we discuss moments where we have managed to harness the good that can come from these situations by turning our attention to better and moving away from bitter. This is about truly embracing the lesson and allowing it to challenge and change us for the better not for the bitter. Do you have a scenario or a life experience that you can think about right now that really twists you, makes you feel like you were robbed? Yes? Most of us can go there. However, could you ever envisage yourself feeling grateful for that happening (even just a little bit) in your life? If not, then maybe there is more work to be done to move towards being better in those moments.

Prompted by an article about the tennis phenomenon Emma Raducanu that spoke of the triumph of nations and how she represents a geocentric mindset we discuss nationalism, identity, culture and overcoming unseen bias. In this episode we discuss: · That there is currently a tendency towards more tribal behaviours and the safety of old behaviours due to the uncertainty of the world · That we need to check our unquestioned biases and responses to ‘owning' someone or their merits due to tribal affiliations · That in trying to define Emma or make her the poster girl for something else we forget that she represents a triumph of human endevour. · Why Sarah felt pride in Emma's achievements as she is a representation of true multiculturism but then disliked the stereotypes that were immediately attributed to her success (e.g., she has a Chinese work ethic,) · How Hema felt the need to let her HR director know she had a British Passport after Brexit and how that and the divisions we see today bother her deeply. · What we thought about the Jim Davidson and Ashley Banjo meeting (after Davidson complained about Diversity having a dance routine about Black Lives Matter) · How tribalism and cultural prejudice has changed in our own lifetimes and experiences and that in different ways we all have felt we didn't fit in at times · Why a song from Sting keeps resonating with Chris as ‘even the Russians love their children' and that we need to remember that tradition is a thing handed down by dead people · What Rosalyn found out about race and class in America when she planned to rewrite The Great Gatsby and saw first-hand how marginalized some ‘different' people can be when she visited people in India with leprosy · That we must keep exploring our views and not get scared or polarized · How our ‘tribal' connections are with people of similar mindsets who are open to change and thinking and who are not afraid to celebrate differences Meet the coaches - Rosalyn Palmer Website: www.rosalynpalmer.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/rosalynpalmer Sarah Yuk Lan Website: www.sarahyuklan.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahyuklan Twitter: https://twitter.com/sarahyuklan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahyuklan/ Hema Bakhshi LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hemabakhshi Website: www.reimaginehr.co.uk Twitter: https://twitter.com/Hema1982 Chris Cook Website: www.chriscookgb.com LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/chriscookgb/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/chriscookgb

This week we explore The Hero's Journey by Joseph Campbell. We give a brief overview of what it is, the main stages and discuss how it can help us if we apply it to our own lives. Are you on a quest to make a change? Is there a dragon or two to be slayed? Ros, Hema and Sarah, reflect on where they see themselves on The Hero's Journey and the insights gained from doing so. How can The Hero's Journey help you?

This week we dive into the art of boundary setting, when to say yes, how to say no and what happens when you respond in alignment. We explore creating space mentally, emotionally, physically, and even energetically and give away our secret in creating your very own “golden bubble”.

In this week's episode – we dive into the topic of Work in Progress and look at perfection over progress and vice-versa. What does progress and perfection mean to us? And how do we strive for perfection and progress?

So, what is it? Well, in psychological terms, it's a sort of excess positivity or emphasis on being optimistic and upbeat. The marketplace and the experimental lab that is social media is a very good example of this where there'll be lots of people who just literally put a gloss on a heartfelt post from someone in pain. It can be counterproductive as it can minimise how you/they are really feeling and not let you deal with it. In this episode we discover: · Why Chris met himself in this podcast as his intention (underpinned by his Northeast inbred care for others) is to help others and let them know that they've got that light at the end of the tunnel. But now he is learning to listen rather than try to fix it for them. · Why Hema is learning to undo being the poster girl for positivity in hard times as she learned from past experience it was stressful and took a toll on her mental and physical health, her emotions, finances and relationships. · Why toxic positivity stops us feeling our emotions and we can bury them so deep that they turn up in inappropriate ways such as panic attacks and anger. · How Sarah is facing the loss of any children due to a hysterectomy by grieving and not allowing a happy face to be slapped on the experience as it was when she came through cancer. · How people, who are uncomfortable with holding space with those in pain can avoid them and make it worse as with Mary Storrie whose daughter Rosie-May was murdered. After the even the most hurtful thing for her was when people crossed the road to avoid her as they didn't know what to say. · That it takes courage to allow people to show their emotions and not try to fix it. Like the song “How to Save A Life” (The Fray) it takes changing your default setting to just listening sometimes. Plus, WTF! (Who to Follow: what or who has been influencing us positively this week).

In this week's episode, we discuss the layers of personal identity: how you feel about yourself and how you show up in the world; the labels you wear and how others perceive you based on the identity you project. The unwritten agreements we put on each other based on expectations and perceptions of the roles we play. Realising that we have the power to choose who we are and the roles we take on.

This week we dig into the art and science of Meditation; is it really all about being still? How can the act of focussing train our brains, and can we use the power of our subconscious to answer our big questions? From passive to dynamic techniques, we've got something for everyone.

In this episode, we discuss how to overcome performance paralysis; the pros and cons of pushing people to perform and how to encourage and inspire without inducing overwhelm. We share tips and tools that we can all tap into when we're in the spotlight. Be it a job interview or sports tournament, we've got you covered.

In this week's episode of Life Alchemy, we'll be discussing the nuances of female leadership. Should we be focusing on female leadership or simply leadership? We explore, the ugly truth about climbing the corporate ladder and what being a woman in business really feels like.

This week's episode we take a deeper dive into Yin vs Yang style of coaching, discussing: What coaching looks like from a place of Yin or Yang energy? Is there even a place for Yang energy in coaching? Do we all need a bit of both Yin and Yang? Is that Yang style of coaching all just about ‘Who shouts the loudest?' or is there truly something in it for us to benefit from? What triggers you? And do you own those triggers?

Do you ever wonder what being a fly on the wall and listening to four coaches (who spend their lives helping others to live better lives) discussing things that irritate or inspire them would sound like? And beyond just the interest of listening in from a rich conversation that arises from individuals from diverse backgrounds, what gems you would leave with from their candid conversations? Do you wish you could learn from their successes and failures to help you navigate your life and find the gold that is hiding within? If your answer is yes then you definitely want to listen to Life Alchemy. It is the place for real conversations, not empty rhetoric, to enhance your business and life on every level. The four co-hosts are here to share knowledge and truths. To fly in the face of some conventional coaching and development trends that are all style over substance.
