Building Confidence

Creating safety within ourselves is one of the most powerful things we can do.

When panic, anxiety, stress or catastrophising hit us our brain goes into fight, flight or freeze to protect us.

If we can show our brain that it is physically safe then, we can turn our logical brain back on to keep moving through the challenge we are facing.

When I first heard the phrase "Depression can sometimes be repressed anger", it was like the stars aligned. I couldn't unsee the things I was angry about, but often I was told that "that's just how it is" or that there are bigger problems or that it wasn't actually a problem so I would then try not to be angry and would then find myself on the slippery slope down to feeling like there was no hope.

In this episode I share how this h...

When you walk into a workplace that has its values written on the wall and one of them is "flexibility" you would imagine that you would be able to ask for some adjustments in your work hours and be respected and treated equally while taking those adjustments, but that is not always the case. In my experience, about half the companies that preach flexibility actually give it and the other half use it as a tactic to get people in an...
