People always say they're "just surviving" parenthood. But think about it, how sad is that? Do you really want to "just survive" 10-20% of your life? Surviving is about getting the basics: food, water, love, connection etc., but thriving is about being present enough to enjoy it.

This podcast is more of a rant and a battle cry than a "how-to", because your how-to will be different to mine. I share how I'm preparing for the birth of our second child and what I'm doing differently after my first-time parent experience of postpartum rage and depression. There are 3 things I'm certain of:

• Self-sacrifice is not the answer
• Being on auto-pilot 24/7 is not the answer
• Abandoning yourself and your identity is not the key to being a great parent

Control... such an interesting concept isn't it? We like to believe we have some, and try to help ourselves feel in control, when in reality we have very little. But why do we try to control things? In today's episode I discuss a new theory I heard recently that's made me question everything about control. I talk about how:

• Self-distrust underpins our need to try control everything
• Our need for control is related to our ablility to manage our own emotions
• The relationship between control and emotional intelligence

"Boundaries" aren't just about saying no more often. They're about helping you create the space to live the life you want to live. The only people who won't like your boundaries, are the ones who have been benefitting from you not having any.

In today's episode we explore 3 areas of boundaries - 

• Energy exchanges: am I giving more than I'm getting?
• How can boundaries make my life easier?
• How can surrendering to my situation in life help me create better boundaries? (even though surrender and boundaries seem like polar opposites)

You're never going to see the success you imagine until you're aware of this one success-limiting concept: upper limits. Do you ever achieve something great, then something goes wrong in another area of your life? Or do you hit a certain level and feel like you can't push any further even though you really want to?

Today's episode dives right into this phenomenon and the concept behind it that makes a world of sense! If you can understand this concept (which you will in 10 minutes time!), you can take the ceiling off the level of success, happiness and contentment you're capable of experiencing in your life.
