I share my thoughts about what kind of leadership is required if you want to firstly lead your life from a position of empowerment, where you create the life you want and you get the results you desire.This is where you must begin before you can ever hope to ‘change' your circumstances, the people around you so that you experience a happier, freer and more fulfilling life.Have a listen to it!If you'd like to find out how you can work with me to get results in an alternative way that's gentler, kinder and more intuitive than what you've always been led to believe, then book a complimentary private session with me at: https://sharonsinghsidhu.comIf you prefer joining a live demonstration of what coaching with me is like in a group setting, join my free Meetup group here: https://sharonsinghsidhu.com/meetup

This week I share some quick tips about how to make the best use of your time when you feel you don't have enough of it!This is real time, real life, as I too, felt overwhelmed by all the things that needed to be done.It's something we all go through sometimes, so why not use it as an opportunity to learn something from it?I hope you enjoy this short episode.

In this episode, I talk about how to turn your people-pleasing tendencies into a superpower!You often hear how people-pleasing is not a good thing.I think people-pleasing reflects a good quality of you.It's all about knowing when and how to use it so you don't end up doing it to a degree where it affects your well-being.Listen to hear more about how to tell when and how to use people-pleasing for good rather than allow it to run your life or drain your energy.

The ability to turn the feelings you want on, and the feelings you don't want off, is an amazing power to have. Imagine being able to do this so you don't do something you regret when you're angry, or let something that scares you prevent you from taking action you know you must and want to.What could your life look like if you had this ability?I share the technique I use in this week's podcast episode.Being able to do this has improved my relationships, enabled me to design and define what kind of work I do, be myself and who I want to be, experience financial freedom, and create a life I love.This is something every child and person needs to know, learn and apply to live a happy, fulfilled, and peaceful life!If you want to learn how to do this, join my all-women Meetup group where I do free, LIVE demo sessions to show you how: https://sharonsinghsidhu.com/meetup

This week's podcast episode is about something I notice a lot of people (including me) do.And that's making excuses and rationalizing something we know in our hearts we want, but because it involves some scary moves, we tell ourselves that's not the practical, realistic thing to do.So we continue telling ourselves it's better that we stick to what we know is the safer option, the more ‘responsible' option and try to push away what we feel in our heart.Living this way is out of alignment with your true self. This true inner self knows what she wants. Sometimes, this choice is the more difficult one. But it's the one that could lead to a richer, more fulfilling life.Instead of rationalizing it away, how about embracing it, then use that rational mind of yours to figure out how to make it work?This shift in perspective from what's impossible to how we can make it possible is the difference between settling for second best or going out and creating your perfect dream life!

It's ok to acknowledge, recognize and honour what your heart and intuition chooses.Maybe you're like me and have been pushing away your emotions, valuing your rational, logical mind more than your intuition and what your heart feels.Now, you can acknowledge, recognize and honour your emotions and your intuition and do it with the peace of mind that it's backed up by science and research, the stuff your rational, logical mind needs and loves!In this episode, I share more about how you can and must use your entire being - your heart, your head, your soul, all of it, in harmony to create the perfect life you've always been dreaming of.If you'd like to experience this transformation for yourself, then sign up to my all-women Meetup group where I run live demos to show you how this works.

We usually hear how comparison is not a good thing, especially in the age of social media where this is rampant. But I say comparison is a good thing and I talk about how to use comparison to help you achieve your dreams and goals in this week's podcast episode. It's such a simple concept that we learned as kids in school, but we've lost our ability to use comparison for its intended purpose when we grew up. Comparisons help us gain clarity, focus and open up more options to the problems and challenges we're going through.Listen now to go back to basics and use comparison to help you rather than paralyze you from taking the actions needed to make all your dreams come true!If you want to learn how to use comparison to help you achieve your goals, I'd like to invite you to join my Meetup group for women where we meet each week to go through this demo LIVE so you can experience it first hand for yourself.

The key to transforming your dreams to reality is your ability to hold the space for both seeing your current reality - where you're not yet at your goals yet - and be totally ok with that as you continue working towards achieving them.A lot of people can't do this, they give in to the frustration and disappointment of not achieving their goals at the time they want to, or totally giving up and telling themselves it's not possible.How do you cultivate this ability to do both - accept and detach from your current situation and at the same time, feel good and positive about taking one step at a time towards your dreams and goals, no matter what's happening in your life?This is the topic I share in this week's episode.If developing the ability to do this is something that you're curious about, I'd like to invite you to join my Meetup group for women where we meet each week to go through this demo LIVE so you can experience it first hand for yourself.

This week I share a very simple technique to create your perfect life.Simply answer 2 questions:Will doing this get me closer to my goals and the kind of life I want to create?Will doing it keep my vibe high, i.e. will I be happy doing this?I share how these 2 questions have guided my decisions and actions and helped me create my perfect life and what to do if you get a ‘no' to these questions. And if you want help keeping your vibe high, feeling happy and good as you work towards your goals, then join my Meetup group to experience this for yourself.

We all have the rational side of our minds and our more intuitive side.If you're like me and have a tendency to engage more with your rational side, perhaps it's time to explore balancing this out with your intuitive side.Especially if you still feel like there's something missing, despite being very successful in your career or life.In this episode, I share how challenges in my life actually led me to engage more with my intuitive mind because I was out of balance where my rational mind weighed in more on how I approached my career, money and time.While you can be very successful pushing and driving results from your rational mind, learning to also engage with your intuitive mind can lead to more peace, fulfillment and even more success.Listen to this episode to hear practical steps you can take to be more guided by your intuitive, subconscious mind and enjoy greater fulfillment and success.

Everyone experiences emotional trauma on some level. But no one taught us how to process it. Like suffering from indigestion, emotional trauma if left unprocessed, becomes a part of us that remains somewhere in our unconscious mind. This un-integrated, unprocessed emotions we experience from some past negative event can keep us stuck in disempowering behaviors and thought habit loops so we feel a low frequency, chronic dissatisfaction, disillusionment, disappointment, discouragement we feel.While we can rationalize it away all we want, it's this unconscious negative emotional trauma that hooks onto us, keeping us where we are rather than where we want to be. Listen to this episode for the 3 steps I share on how to process and digest your emotional trauma so you can create the life you want to have.

How do you tell the difference between being guided by your higher, wiser, intuitive self and your ego, animalistic self?Why does it matter anyway?In this episode, I share how learning to reconnect with your intuition can help you end the cycle of repeated disempowering habits and behaviours so you can achieve your goals and create a life filled with joy, fulfillment, peace and happiness.Engaging both your intuitive and rational mind helps you be in charge and feel in control of your life versus feeling like you're subject to external circumstances you can't control, leading to stress, anxiety and confusion.I also share details about free online sessions I'll be launching to help you reconnect with your intuition so you can rebalance that beautiful rational mind of yours with the powerful gift of your intuition!

In this week's episode, I share my process on how to spend your time and energy on activities that actually help you to achieve your career or business goals.This is a simple process anyone can do, anytime of the year, and not just at the end of the year.What makes it different from the usual evaluation of goal achievement is that it taps into your intuition at the subconscious level.This is something that can guide you towards making decisions and taking actions that are aligned with who you truly are, so you can take the right actions that really matter to you.It seems so simple but it's a powerful process to help you balance out being too much in your head, especially if you find you're doing a lot yet still seem to feel stuck and not where you want to be.Listen to the episode here: https://sharonsinghsidhu.com/106

The old model for your career where you have to choose between money or your passion is outdated.Instead, we need a new model for a career where you can make the money you want doing work you love and that energizes you.The reason why so many people don't believe this is possible is a combination of not applying the right strategies to do this and not knowing how to manage your beliefs and confidence to make this happen.What you need if you want to make the money you want doing work you love are 4 key ingredients:Talents & Gifts (what innate talents and gifts you have)Skills, Experience & Passions (what skills, experience and passions you possess)Market Demand (match what you offer by using your talents, gifts, skills, experience & passions with what people are willing to pay you for)Belief & Confidence Management (your ability to change your beliefs and increase your confidence to support what you want to achieve)I share the 4 key ingredients you need to make the money you want doing work you love in this week's podcast episode.Listen to the episode here: https://sharonsinghsidhu.com/105

When it comes to building a successful career where we do work we love, get paid really well for it, have autonomy over our time and where we work, i.e. the dream life many people have,  we often underestimate what it takes to create this.For every success story you hear, there are many more you don't hear who are still trying to build the life they've always dreamed of.Today's episode is for those of you who aren't quite where you want to be yet.Just remember this word: Underestimate.We often underestimate what it takes to create what we want.But we also underestimate what we can take and what we're able to go through to make our dreams come true.Keep trying, keep going, keep improving. You have what it takes to make it happen.

In this week's podcast episode, I share the 3 signs that tell you when it's time for a change in your job, what you can do about it and when you should activate your plan. I also share my perspective about job hopping and how to tell when this is a very important and good thing both from a hiring manager's perspective and as a job hopper myself earlier in my career.

This week's episode was inspired by the common fear many of us in corporate #jobs may have - how to have job security in our uncertain world.It's one of those things we accept when we step into a #corporate job.There isn't any guarantee you'll keep your #job forever, no matter how hard you work.I share the common misconception many people have about the reasons you get fired or let go from a job.And what you can do to make sure you become unfirable. 

This phrase ‘be different' kept coming back to me over the past 2 weeks.Perhaps it was F1 fever…I've been noticing the recurring theme about how different people at the top of their game are.How unafraid of being different they are.Being different is tough. It's scary. It can feel lonely. But it's what's needed to be exceptional.People who are exceptional at what they do aren't like everyone else. That's why they're exceptional. And being exceptional requires you to be different.I talk more about this idea about being different and how we can be exceptionally different in this week's podcast episode.

Here are 10 lessons I learned about achieving BIG things in your life.I recorded this after getting certified as a coach by the MAP Coaching Institute which was a pretty big thing I'd been working on for the past 7 months.It involved showing up every week for class, clocking tons of client sessions, taking a written exam and a face-to-face interview exam. It was so intimidating when I started, I didn't know how I could get it done, but I did.I share the 10 steps or things to know when you're trying to achieve big things that matter to you in your life, drawn not just from attaining this certification but also from all the big things I've done in my life.I hope it helps you deal with those uncomfortable feelings we all experience when we step into the unknown. 

You may have heard that in order to create your dream life, you must have a vision of it and fully believe in it.While I'm all about building beliefs that support the life you want, I'm also practical.Sometimes, we just don't believe we can create everything we want.What can you do when this happens? How can you create everything your heart desires even when you don't believe it's possible for you?Listen to this week's episode to learn the 2 practical things you can do so you can continue to create a life you love even if you don't believe your dream life is possible.

No matter how many actions you take and plans you make, you're not going to achieve the results you want until you work on your lack of self belief & trust in your unconscious mind.You can use all the positive affirmations in the world, all the discipline and determination that you want, but until you clear what's blocking you in your unconscious mind, you'll hit a limit and wonder why you can't get further.Listen to this week's episode to learn how to clear those unconscious blocks to create the results you want. Link in bio.

Learn the power of journaling and use it to help you deal with your feelings of stress, anxiety, worry or fear. Besides helping you process these difficult emotions, journaling can bring fresh insights and inspire you to take the daily actions necessary to get what you want.Listen to this week's episode where I break down the 8 steps to using journaling to deal with fear, doubt, worry, stress or anxiety and create a clear plan of action that you're excited to move forward with.

How do we try to change others?Effective strategy is to learn how to deal with our emotions because we just have to be ourselves.You've got to be aware enough to even catch yourself responding or reacting.Be very self aware of the thoughts that are going through your mind. Whatever physical sensation in your body, just always being in the state of awareness, especially when you get triggered.If you really want to learn how to handle your emotions, listen to today's episode. 

Do you know what your stories are and how they're running your life?We are meaning making machines and we make up stories along the way as we go through life.Since we tend to remember more of the bad stuff than the good stuff, most of those stories aren't stories that empower and uplift us, or that give us confidence and believe in ourselves.That's why it's important to catch them, and see them for what they are, and what the role they're playing in your life.Listen to this week's episode where I share how you can debunk the stories that no longer work for you or help you build a life you want.

When we think about living a life we love, we think it's about doing what we want to do, making our own decisions about how we spend our time, who we're spending our time with, and what we're doing.Yet, many people don't do this because something is holding them back. This thing that holds them back is worrying about what other people will think, say, criticize or ridicule them.It's hard to create a life you want when you go about your life holding back on what you want to do or say because you're worried about how others will react. This is you still needing other people's approval and it's got to stop.Listen to this week's episode where I share how you can do this. 

In this episode, I share a simple yet powerful practice you can use today to handle your emotions so that you don't feel stressed out and overwhelmed by strong emotions like fear, anxiety, anger, or panic when things don't go the way you want them to.This is my daily practice and I've been using it for almost a decade. It has transformed my life and I hope it will help transform yours so you can create a life where you're free to be yourself and live life the way you want to.RESOURCES:Get the Results You Want [Email Series]

Here's how to guarantee your success. Be unstoppable. Being unstoppable just means not stopping. Simple right? So why is it so hard to do? Because you have to learn to hold the space for gratitude and frustration at the same time. This means being grateful for all the things that aren't working out for you. Not just those that are. This isn't something we do naturally. It's something we train our minds for. But when you get strong with this, you truly are unstoppable and that's exactly what guarantees your success. I talk more about this in today's episode, so listen in to learn how I work out this brain muscle!URL: https://sharonsinghsidhu.com/91

We struggle with time. Something you want to happen takes too much time.Something you don't want isn't going away fast enough.Here's the thing about time to wrap your head around.If you want to have more time, you have to let it go.Yes, I know, it doesn't make sense right?Because we've been taught that if we want something, we go out and grab it, we take it, we control it, we hoard it, we keep and save it.We definitely don't just let it go, get away from us, leave us. We think doing that means we ‘lose' it.But that really is the secret to creating more time for all the things that are important to you.Enough with all the productivity tools. They're good, but they're tools that support how you manage time.They don't create more time for you. YOU create more time for you.Listen to today's episode where I share the paradoxical nature of time and how to make more of it. RESOURCESEpisode mentioned:  Hear how “Mama to CEO” Founder, Samantha Siffring, Took Her Business from $40 to A Million Dollars in 12 Months

This week, I share my thoughts about what true freedom is.We seek it, thinking if we had more money, more time, more energy, more success, more love, more this or that, it'll solve our problems and we'll live happily ever after.Sure, you need basic necessities to live. I've met people with so little materially, yet are full of faith and believe in themselves.I've also met people with so much, but live in so much fear that they're going to run out.This intrigues me. As I reflect on my life, what I've gone through and what I've learned and observed from others, I realized it isn't just about how much you have or don't have in your physical world.It's how you handle whatever cards you're dealt with as you go through life that makes the difference. And this begins in your mind, your ability to handle your thoughts and therefore your feelings and the corresponding actions you take.

I interviewed Nathania Stambouli on this week's podcast episode. Nathania Stambouli, founder and creator of Yogi Flight School and SoulTribe Adventures is a 500 E-RYT Yoga Teacher and Transformational Coach. She teaches people from around the world how to defy their perceived limitations and fly - on their hands and in their lives. She is a cat lady, lover of iced coffee and lives to lead people towards the most free and expressed version of who they are.We talked about how Nathania quit her comfortable corporate job that she hated and what it was like for her to step out and finally do the work that she loves and the safety nets she put in place so she could get past the psychological barriers that made it scary for her to do this earlier. Nathania's story is going to resonate with those of you who know you're meant for something more, but feel afraid of leaving your current comfort zone. I love it that Nathania helps you overcome your mindset barriers through such a physical activity like yoga. You literally see in real time how what you once thought impossible is possible once you get out of your own way and see things from a different perspective! Remember to let Nathania know what insight you gained from this episode and follow her on @nattasticyoga on Instagram. Nathania's websites: Yogi Flight School & Soul Tribe Adventures

In today's podcast, I talk about why positive thinking and affirmations don't work. As someone who used to be very rationally and logically driven, positive thinking and affirmations sounded like fluffy stuff that perhaps worked for others, but not for a practical, grounded, working mom with a family to support.But I found out it wasn't that positive thinking itself doesn't work. It's when we don't understand the mechanics of how our mind works and use it to help us rather than hinder us from creating the life we want that's the crux of the problem. Understanding how your mind works, specifically how your thoughts can either help you get what you want or create more of what you don't is key.Listen to this week's episode to learn how to use your mind and your thoughts to help you rather than stop you from getting what you want.

This episode was inspired by a question one of my clients had about how many coaching sessions she could expect to have before she's done with coaching. I explain what coaching is and how you can benefit from having a coach.You'll also hear how my approach is slightly different from traditional coaching because I think we live in a world where too much weight is given to our conscious thinking that's caused us to lose touch with our innate wisdom that knows what's best for us.We need to rebalance this by learning to trust our own innate wisdom which is our internal compass to take actions which are just right for us.Listen to this episode to find out how you can begin to create the life you want from a more holistic approach.

No one taught us how to handle our emotions.We go to school and learn lots of information, facts and how to use our rational mind to create plans and goals for what we want to achieve.Where did you learn how to handle your emotions?If you're lucky, maybe your parents did this, or you had a wise mentor or teacher who shared their advice about this.When you encounter difficulties in life that make you feel big, strong emotions like fear of failure, disappointment or rejection, how do you deal with it? In today's episode, I share how your ability to handle your emotions is key to your success. Unlike what we've been conditioned to believe, especially for us women in the corporate world, being in touch with your feelings and using them to guide your decisions and actions doesn't make you unreliable or unstable at work. Your ability to use your emotions to help you achieve your goals is the difference between being successful at creating the life you want and settling for less than what you envision for yourself. Listen to the episode where I share how leaning into my emotions has helped me achieve things I'd never imagined I could.RESOURCES:The Limbic Systemhttps://youtu.be/LNs9ruzoTmIThe Prefrontal Cortex https://youtu.be/i47_jiCsBMs

Many of you are familiar with your rational conscious mind. It's what we've been taught to use a lot growing up and in school. It's almost to a point where there's now an imbalance between your conscious mind and your superconscious mind. We're used to dismissing and disregarding our superconscious mind. This is the part of us that some people refer to as your innate wisdom, your intuition or your higher level of consciousness. The interesting thing is that as kids, we're very in tune with this part of ourselves. But over time, dealing with the disappointments and ‘harsh reality' of life has conditioned us to push this aside as being unrealistic or unreliable to create the life we want. Instead, we believe that it's our rational, logical mind that's more important in helping us achieve goals. Sure, this is the part of us that's needed to make plans and take actions. But that should be done in consultation with our superconscious mind, rather than to push away or ignore this part of us. So what is this superconscious mind anyway and how can you use it to create the life you want? Tune in to this week's episode where I answer these questions. 

My guest this week is Christine Looi, a divorcee with 3 kids. Christine was retrenched from a high paying job, and subsequently faced financial instability and eventually lost hope.With a proper mindset, accepting help, and acknowledging that change needs to be done to move on with life, she overcame her problems. Since then, Christine has been inspired to create a community to help support and empower women to grow not just physically but emotionally. She's also become a strong advocate in the parenting and charity community. I spoke to Christine this week to get behind her thoughts and mindset about how she managed to bounce back from what life threw at her to build NRSC, a growing platform empowering women, creating opportunities for women to become financially free and build connections and community.Listen to the episode to learn more about this energetic and passionately inspiring woman!RESOURCEShttps://www.nurensc.com/https://www.instagram.com/nurensc/CONNECT WITH CHRISTINE:https://www.instagram.com/chrispylooi/

This is the final step in the 4-step podcast mini series to tap into your feminine energy.This is the all important step to get different results.We often think it's what we're ‘doing' that needs to change to get the results we want.Either we do more, or we change what we're doing, thinking that's what's going to make the difference.While action is important, it's the kind of action that matters too.And the kind of action you take is determined by the quality of your thoughts that reflect your beliefs, your identity, and your values, all of which can be affected by our past experiences.More importantly, the emotions and meanings we've associated with those past experiences.Listen to this week's episode to find out more about how you can shift your thoughts so you can take the kind of different actions to get you what you want.If you missed the earlier steps, you can catch up here:Step 1 (https://sharonsinghsidhu.com/79)Step 2 (https://sharonsinghsidhu.com/80)Step 3 (https://sharonsinghsidhu.com/81)   

Today's episode is step 3 of the 4 steps to tap into your feminine energy.This step is all about ‘knowing'.I share the different levels of knowing. There's the ‘knowing' where we amass information and head knowledge.Then there's a ‘knowing' that's what we feel certain about. Like the wind, or gravity, which we can't see or touch, but we know it's there because we feel it.Listen to this episode to find out more about tapping into this deeper level of ‘knowing' to help you get the results you want.If you missed the previous 2 steps, you can listen to them here:Step1 (https://sharonsinghsidhu.com/79)Step 2 (https://sharonsinghsidhu.com/80)

Today's podcast is step 2 in the 4 step process of tapping into your feminine energy.Step 2 is all about being curious about the signs you receive in life and how it informs you about being your true self and living a happy life that brings you true joy and satisfaction.How do you tell the difference whether something is a sign or a calling for you to do something to live a happier, fuller life, or just mere coincidence?If you're like what I used to be, you may find yourself using your rational, conscious mind and go getting masculine energy more than your gentle, feeling, feminine energy.There's value in both, but in today's world, many of us are out of balance. We use too much of our masculine energy, dismissing our feminine energy as unreliable and unproven or even unproductive.Listen to today's episode for step 2 to tap into our feminine energy to rebalance yourself and live a life you want. If you missed step 1, go to https://sharonsinghsidhu.com/79 to catch up!

When it comes to achieving your goals and dreams, you need 2 types of actions.The one we're most familiar with is the go-getting, striving for results type of action, also called your masculine energy. And you don't need to be a man to have this type of energy.What's often neglected is the feminine energy. This is about ‘stopping' yourself from taking an action, pausing, paying attention or an allowing type of action. And men also have this.We need both in balance to create the life we want.However, for most of us, we haven't been exposed to the feminine energy as much as the masculine energy.So today, I want to share the first of 4 steps on how you can develop this feminine energy and balance it with your masculine energy.Remember to come back next week for the second step!P.S.
