So I think we’ve established that we don’t love the self doubt, right friends? And yet, it sticks around.

But why is doubting yourself actually bad? What impact is it having on us? Why should we WANT to stop?

It stops us from taking any risks. And less risk can equal less growth.

It stops us showing up as our brightest, most radiant selves. And the world deserves to see all of you, my friend.

It can prevent us from reaching our true potential. Doubting every thought and decision is a surefire way to keep you stuck where you are.

It can also just stop us getting everyday stuff done (paralysis), which is annoying. And detrimental to our progress.

It can handicap us. By trying to protect ourselves from the perceived threat, we end up self sabotaging.

It can urge us to overachieve, to do more - which we feel will help us to ‘prove our worth’ by avoiding any type of failure and constantly chasing success.

It can make us procrastinate and completely avoid trying new things, just in case we get them wrong or mess them up (which is all part of new things, btw)

There is a whole bunch of content around self doubt in my brilliant online course, Self Growth 101. I walk you through tools and techniques that will have you finding your way back to the version of you that you really like, quicker than you can blink.

Because my friend …. Why not you?

But more importantly, why not now?

Biggest love!

Sometimes it looks like a very full social calendar and seventeen unread course emails.

It looks like hard avoiding anything that requires you to ‘show up’ - whether that’s in your work life, with your family, or in your friendships.

Finding other things to do.

Finding other people and things to fill the space.

Finding noise to drown out the things you’re hearing about yourself and your ability.

Because let’s face it, it feels absolutely horrendous to doubt yourself and your abilities. To spiral. To get lost in the sea of ‘am I, could I, should I?’ thoughts.

But avoidance isn’t progress.

It isn’t change.

The self doubt will continue to show up.

SO WHAT DO WE DO?

Working on building your self worth is the foundation. Which sounds simple, right? And it is …. if you know what to do. And now that you’re here with me, my friend, let me share step 1 with you.

Recognise your inner critic: This is where a HUGE amount of your self doubt comes from. That annoying fvcking voice that’s constantly in your ear telling you how s**t you are, how everyone else gets it except you, how the whole world is doing more than you, how many mistakes you have made, how many fails.

It’s all lies, by the way. I don’t even have to know you to guarantee that.

We can get into the ins and outs of your inner critic in some later posts (I also cover this topic heavily in Self Growth 101, my online course), but learning to spot that voice when it pipes up is step 1. No action, no judgment, no change. Just NOTICE.

That’s your foundation.

That’s your first step.

That’s where building strong self worth can begin.

And now you’re here, we can do it together.

Imagine a scenario where everything you touched turned to gold.

Everything you do is a success.

You win at everything.

Nothing ever goes wrong.

Now reach into the depths of your imagination, to those most audacious, big dream thoughts that I know are buried in there somewhere.

What would you do?

If you couldn't fail, if you KNEW that you were going to win, that it was going to work out, what would you do?

But here's a more important question:

What is that voice in your head saying RIGHT NOW that's trying to talk you out of your most audacious, big dream answer?

If it helps, mine is telling me that my dancing is a very strong argument for failure LAUGH EMOJI

Drop yours below (and feel free to include your audacious big dream if you dare). 👇

Absolutely love the formula at the end, it’s an elaboration/extension of what I taught recently in one of my live trainings.

Definitely worth a read. 💖

Being chronically ill is sh*t. Ask anyone who lives with it.

It invades EVERY moment of every day, and most of us have to change all the areas of our life to accommodate our aches, pains and needs.

It trashes your confidence. You’re no longer able to do things the way you used to - if you can do them at all. The things you CAN still do have to be adjusted and maneuvered and shoe-horned into your ‘good days’.

Most things you do have to be adjusted so that you can continue to show up in the world in as ‘normal’ a way as possible, without having to describe your health problems or explain yourself.

And don’t even get me started on the emotional side of things.

Feeling resentful all the time - why did this happen to me?

Feeling exhausted from all the changes and adjustments you are constantly making.

Wishing people who loved you understood better what it feels like to be you.

Feeling isolated, different, less and alone.

So yeah, all in all, it’s not much fun.

To any of my social media friends who have chronically ill friends or relatives … please ask them what it’s like to live in their bodies - and listen. Don’t make assumptions. Ask them what would be helpful. And try to avoid suggesting things like yoga and warm baths :)

To any of my spoonies out there surviving every day with a chronic illness you didn’t ask for … I see you, I hear you, I love you. Now get a blanky and a snack and take some time out!

What is it about being post 30 and loving a coffee shop or a garden centre?!

Now admittedly, I’m quite a bit post 30, but the question is still the same.

Why do garden centres and cafes become SO much more attractive after 30?

If anyone has the answer, please share. I’m keen to know.

Do I garden?

Girl I don’t even cut my own grass.

Will it stop me going to cafes and garden centres?

NEVER.

Let me know in the comments - garden centre girlie or cafe queen? Which one are you?

Ponies were my whole life.

From the moment I was old enough to get on a horse, I knew deep in my soul that’s how I wanted to spend my life, and earn my money.

I spent every moment of my life dreaming about horses (asleep or awake lol!). When we moved house, I would sit on the wall outside waiting for people to ride past so I could ask them for a job (working in return for riding, which we used to do back in the day) - it actually worked!!

I spent every hour doing something horse-related, until I was 18. I got my dream job, and lasted 8 weeks before I got kicked and broke my knee. Very painful. Very VERY sad. I had to go home to recuperate and in the months that followed, the whole trajectory of my life changed.

I often wonder what my life would look like now if I’d stayed in the industry. I miss the gentleness of horses, and I miss the absolute ROCKS that I had for thighs when I was riding 5 or 6 competition horses a day.

What was your dream job/life? Are you living it now? If not, what went wrong?

Tell me everything. Let’s be TMI together.

I received an email from somewhere I subscribe to today, and inside was a link to a blog about self worth.

I had a read, and recognised lots of myself in it - particularly the part about how confidence and self worth relate to each other.

If you're interested in growing YOUR self worth, take a read. It's pretty good!

Self-worth affects almost everything.

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean for you to feel called out.

Because I’m guessing you probably heard yourself in one of those statements.

These are some of the most common limiting beliefs, and some of the ones I hear the most from my clients. Which always makes me heartbreakingly sad, because my clients are AMAZING women. Truly amazing - capable, reliable, strong, soft, generous, loving, kind and funny. The best.

But, if you don’t believe it, it’s really hard to FEEL it.

I’m a big fan of the ‘fake it til you make it’ attitude, but what I REALLY love is lasting impact. Change that’s for life.

That’s what I help you create when you work with me.

You in?

DM me and let’s chat. No pressure, no sales. Just a good chinwag

It's so easy to tell yourself stories about who you are, based on things that are happening.

For the last few weeks, I have been convincing myself DAILY that I am sh*t. That I'm lazy, disorganised, not motivated, and definitely not the kind of woman who wins in business.

Want to know why?

Because of a SPREADSHEET.

A fvcking SPREADSHEET, of all things.

Using the wrong tool for me got me paralysed. Zero action. Avoidance on a professional scale!!! You know what I'm talking about, right?

And a really simple process got me back on track again. Phew! The gratitude right now is overflowing, because for a minute there, I thought me and creation of the new course, Self Growth 101, were toast.

If you find yourself stuck in task paralysis ...
If you are great at telling yourself how sh*t you are ...
If you need to know how to get UN-STUCK ...
..there's nothing wrong with you friend. I can guarantee it. You just don't have the right tools.

If you'd like full on, 100% cheerleading support while you gain the tools you need to get yourself un-stuck, I'm your girl.

Comment SUPPORT and I'll send you the link to book a totally free, zero sales call with me so we can figure out what's keeping YOU stuck.

Biggest love
