For decades (eons?) women and femmes have been derided for being "too emotional" to be leaders when some male leaders sit in plain sight spitting the dummy (and causing wars) when someone doesn't agree with them - or their illegal activities.
But is "too emotional" even specific to one gender? And more importantly, what does it actually have to do with emotional intelligence as a leader? (Hint:...
Expressing yourself and your needs, whether in personal contexts or professional ones, can take a lot of courage. It can also bring up a lot of nervous system activation if it's something you're unpracticed in or unsure about.
Following on from our previous 2 episodes, this episode explores more about how you can learn to be in relationship with your nervous system moments and find yourself more resourced, w...
It's not about ‘trying’ to make mistakes, it’s about acknowledging we will inadvertently make mistakes - and LEARNING how to navigate them. Because we can’t stop emotions or upsets from happening - it’s HUMAN. But we can practice how to navigate and be in relationship with these experiences.
In this episode (straight from day 2 of last ep's livestream), we explore the process of making mistakes, and what you ...
Ever had that complete energy-draining, bottoming out feeling when you’re trying to - or caught in - a hard conversation that feels like it might derail you completely?
This episode comes directly to you from a livestream series I held in 2021 (!!) that is just as relevant today as it was then - and it's entirely probable you haven't heard this conversation from me before.
I think we have a semantics problem and a misunderstanding around what the words 'mental health' actually means.
So, in this week's episode, I dive into it. If you have ever been unsure on using the words 'mental health' at work, this will be a good listen for you!
And if you have ever felt judged or misunderstood for talking about mental health at work, this might feel validating for you.
Ever had those moments where you receive unexpected news and your whole body reacts? Maybe your face flushes, getting really hot, or your breathing hitches, and your mental focus blurs out everything but that news?
I had that (in a smaller circumstance) recently, so I'm sharing what happened, how I navigated it - including the outcome!!

Pain points are really useful in clarifying your goals or what you want to move towards. And... sometimes they're holding you back, putting you through unnecessary pain when you already know, but just aren't moving on them.
