Even Flamingos lose their pink

On this weeks show were looking at what the research says confidence is and let me tell you its not what I thought! I listened to a podcast from Mel Robins recently who made me think differently about what its is and how it comes about and I wanted to share this with you. You can listen to the podcast I'm referring to here https://open.spotify.com/episode/21xePLmMVneXbBTZWyXrfD?si=JKbc581aRCqDPVezCH-O5gwe also talk about the bees, camping and Bruce gatecrashes for a little minuet tooThere's also a little challenge in there for you to do so are you going to take me up on it....

On this weeks episode we have a bee update, get interrupted and distracted by Bruce and Magnus and explore imposter syndrome in relation to parenting and in general.Its a struggle so many of us go through but not all of us talk about the feeling of being a fraud and feeling like 'we're going to get found out' I've been getting it a lot recently about this podcast and I've had it on more than one occasion since becoming a step mum and a mum. I did wonder if it can happen in a non-work environment at it turns out it can.We look at what i is, how it shows up, types of imposter syndrome and some suggestions on how to start combating it and putting it to one side

On this weeks episode I am joined by the marvellous Suzanne Coulton.Suzanne is a mum, a wife, a campervan owner and as well as those things she is also the Chief Operating Officer of The INKEY List so she is always balancing things.We had such an amazing conversation about balancing everything, our choices, how they can make you pink or not. Listen to us discuss an unpopular opinion and discussed a time where Suzanne wasn't at her pinkest. And share some of the joys of how kids keep us honest and trueI really enjoyed recoding this this episode, I hope you enjoy listening to it too

We've had a bit of a break since the last recording so hello again.We are talking about coaching today, what it is, coaching vs mentoring, what it isnt and why it can help.I give a few examples of how its helped me and how you might be able to benefit from it too

This weeks episode took 3 separate attempts to record due to poorly baby!We're looking at social media this week and 4 areas that can make you feel less pink and things you can do to take control of that again1) confirmation bias2) comparisons and unrealistic baselines3) FOMO4) social isolation and lonelinessI love social media I think it has so much wonderful uses but also there is a downside to our online presence. unhealthy comparisons, people not disclosing things and not being real and honest. it can lead you down a path you didn't intend to go and can be hard reversing back from. Its helpful to remember that if the grass looks a lot greener than yours chances are its a filter doing it!

On this weeks episode were looking at work life balance or generally just balance. I dont like the phrase balance because it implies that there are only 2 things at play and they have to be split equally. This is NOT the case for most people and its possibly why we dont feel balanced and why its so hard for us to juggle.Plate spinning is more apt or juggling. Not balancing.We've also tried to film this one so lets see how this goes!
