If you’re feeling like life is kinda living you right now, rather than you living life- listen to this episode instantly.

If you are craving more joy, more of those “how is this my life” moments, more confidence that you are on the path that you’re destined for, listen to this episode.

If you’ve had a little birdie continually landing on your shoulder telling you that it’s time to make a change but you’re feeling scared and maybe a little clueless as to what that change should be, headphones, download, listen- nowzo.

These 5 simple questions have the power to change your life. They are the foundation of the work that I do with every client. They are the questions I continually revisit personally when I feel stuck, knowing that I’m being called to something that will allow me to flourish and enjoy the sweetness of life even more than I might be right now. They, when answered- will give you clarity and direction and ultimately, an abundance of self-empowerment.

If you’re ready to start fully living and what support from me in creating a life you love, I'd love to support you. Fill out this form and I'll be in touch to share more.

This week my dear client Louise Blackman joins me on the pod! Lou was my third ever client after launching my business and over the past 18 months she’s walked through true metamorphosis. Louise has transformed the way she see’s and values herself, she’s built the confidence and self-assurance to walk away from relationships that don’t serve her and her career has shifted and blossomed, where now, as a Self Worth Coach she’s passing on that wisdom to help others to do the exact same. So if you want a mini insight into how coaching can help you achieve the things you dream of, grab your headphones!

Together we chat about:

• How living in your comfort zone can quickly transform into huge discomfort
• How Louise knew it was time to invest in 1:1 coaching
