The Talullah Talks Podcast

Wow, this episode has to be one of my favourite to date. Join me and the amazing Money Mindset Mentor, Denise Duffield-Thomas to talk about all the reasons why you are not reaching your wealth potential. We no longer have to be stuck where we are, we are in control of our income and our income opportunities are limitless. It is not money that is the issue, it is the way we think about it and how we use it. Listen to Denise speak wisdom after wisdom to help us break down the ideas and experiences that are preventing us from reaching our potential. We also go into manifestation and law of attraction and so much more. Topics we covered : Past experiences that effect your money mindset How to create role models for yourself to help you achieve Controlling your money influences How to stop using your self worth to price your products/ services How to overcome your money blocks Dealing with guilt around money Negative money mindset shifting  Manifestation and Law of attraction   This episode has definitely changed the way I think and feel about money.

As individuals, we all have blocks. Things that stop us from putting ourselves out there, achieving our potential, being exactly who we want to be, showing up exactly how and where we want to. These can be systemic blocks from our history and the culture around us, or, it can be from our own personal experiences. But, good news, we can rid ourselves of these blocks to help us reach this limitless potential.  Samantha is the CEO and Founder of the School of Visibility, a school aiming to help women become seen and heard in all aspects of life; career, family, relationships, etc. She explains to me what blocks are and ways to break them down so that we are no longer chained by them.  In this episode we discuss:  What is a visibility block Why we are holding ourselves back in a limitless world How systemic oppression continues to limit us Samantha's journey through sexual trauma, chronic depression and chronic fatigue The physical effect of trauma The 'good girl' archetype The result of conditioning  How to overcome personal and systemic blocks How to notice and clear emotions    This was a conversation that filled me with warmth and hope. Samantha's wisdom has resonated with me and it is no wonder that she is helping women all around the world to become visible. If you listen to this episode and want more information/ guidance in overcoming your own blocks, there are free resources on the School of Visibility's website.

Planning on taking a 3 month sabbatical from her job managing 28 newspapers for some time to herself and a chance to evaluate where she was heading, she returns from the Philippines with a new mission instead; to help give people living in the slums a choice in their future.  Her incredibly moving story gave me goose bumps as she describes the living conditions of these slums and her unwavering motivation to provide a better life for them. She also discusses how working alongside them showed her that money didn't necessarily mean answers, the power of our mindset in determining our own happiness and the importance of following our heart. It was a privilege to talk to her and I know these life lessons will have a huge impact on our lives no matter what our background.  Edited by Christian Pflanz

We live in a world of suffocating expectations that are exaggerated by the ticking age bomb. Stop, and diffuse this fear by realising you are not alone in this.

I'm back. While moving to France I took a little break from podcasts but I'm happy to say that I'm back and ready to continue throwing podcasts your way. This episode is  a little update and some useful life lessons I have learnt when confronted with scary new opportunities or when things don't quite go as you expect.  

My role model for this week and every week; Iasha Masood. After dealing with the spotlight, pressure, and Lord Sugar on the Apprentice 2019 she has proven immense strength and ambition. Listen to her talk about how she taught herself the confidence she has now, how she bounced back, her experience as a businesswoman, and her success. An example to be followed for anyone who faces a setback, feels underestimated, and wants to be heard. I apologise for the audio quality but I couldn't not release this. Edited and saved by Chris Pflanz.

Self-image, one of the most underestimated powers we possess. It affects our relationships, opportunities, experiences, our life. And yet, we are not taught how to control it or even that we have the ability to do so. This is something that I feel is crucial when trying to navigate your way through life and so I wanted to pass on some advice and information that I have come across and explain it in the most accessible way as possible.  Edited by Christian Pflanz

The role model for this episode is Dr Hannah Bolland, a cancer biologist and that isn't even the coolest thing about her. Her positivity, humour and intelligence is awe-inspiring. In a world where anyone can publish anything, spread any facts, distort any information, how do we know what to believe? Listen to Hannah help dispel ridiculous, yet very common cancer myths, provide advice on sifting through fake news, give her three life tips she lives by to stay healthy and the tools she uses for a happy life. This episode is basically a public service announcement. Edited by Christian Pflanz.

Keeping up the theme of divulging personal and somewhat embarrassing own experiences in the hope that you will learn from my mistakes, I decided to confront a topic that most of us can relate to... alcohol. I thought that I would put my drunken antics to use and provide 5 bits of advice to help prevent embarrassment, stay safe and ensure drinking stays enjoyable. Disclaimer, I am not encouraging alcohol consumption, I am simply providing words of wisdom that I wish I had heard when I was younger.

Join my discussion with the inspiring Denise Mclean as we talk about giving youth offenders hope, street crime, BLM, representation in the police force, dealing with rejection and breaking other people's narratives. As someone full of positivity, and relentless energy for the community and people around her, I had to share her wise words with you. 

Seeing as I told the story about my eating disorder from a first hand perspective, I thought it was essential to get Betsy on the podcast and talk about her experience of it as an outsider looking in. This is not an isolated disorder, it engulfs loved ones and so talking about their involvement is just as important.

Introducing my first role model; Jenny Mueller. An amazing woman, bringing together the community to create real change, focusing on using wasted food to solve food poverty. Listen to hear the invaluable lessons and advice she has learnt along the way. 

You've heard from my older sister, now its time for my twin. Listen to us divulge our own personal experiences and thoughts on dealing with the cruel world of comparison, Photoshop, boys, and more, whilst celebrating the power of a group of drunk girls in the club toilets. 

The time has come to call in back up a.k.a my big sister to talk all things female. The mean girl culture, slut shaming, sex, the importance of empowerment, and awareness. 

I've discussed getting what you want focusing on your own mindset and outlook, now, as promised, I talk about the next biggest obstacle. Other people. Listen to my top 3 tips, examples of failures and successes.

As much as I wish I was, I am not yet able to get everything that I want. However, I wanted to share with you some things I have learnt after reading books such as Psycho-Cybernatics by Maxwell Maltz that will help you achieve your goals, as well as, share some personal experiences in which I have seen these in action.

At this unprecedented time, most of our lives have been turned upside. Listen to me talk about how I created structure in chaos and the ways in which I take control of my mornings to give myself the best possible chance of having a successful, happy day. 

Surrounded by dating apps, perfect couples and the culture of instant gratification, there is no doubt that single life can be daunting. Having a somewhat colorful dating history and previous reliance on outside gratification, I wanted to share with you how I ended up turning a heartbreak into the happiest time of my life, as well as, some entertaining own experiences. 

In a world where confidence seems a scarcity, how can we not talk about it? Listen to my own personal conflicts with confidence and what has helped me overcome the corresponding hurdles. I want to give you tangible actions and a personal story to help you realize this is a subject that we all know too way. 

Listen to this short introduction to learn more about me, your host, the aim of the podcast and why you should invest your time into it.
