  • 9. Ep 09: Can we avoid stress? How to be less stressed at work with breathwork coach Robin Gowen

    57:44
    Is it possible to avoid stress? Is it an inevitable part of life? How can we learn to cope with it better? And how do you know when you're burned out or just stressed?These are the big questions we're asking on this week's episode. I'm so excited to be joined by breathwork and life coach Robin Gowen as we discuss everything stress and burnout in today's workplace. She shares her personal journey with stress and how her dream job turned into a living nightmare as her people pleasing turned into an inability to set boundaries and led to complete burnout. We talk about the difference between stress and burnout, and also the difference between stress and pressure- how pressure is often mistaken as stress but is actually the meaning we're putting on a situation rather than the situation itself.Robin outlines the effects stress has on our nervous system and how we can use breathwork and other mindfulness practises to recenter ourselves and bring ourselves back to the parasympathetic nervous system.More about Robin:After 9years working in a corporate job, and a lifetime of anxiety. Robin was burned out and exhausted adding to that was severe anxiety. In 2020 started her journey to heal in that she found more holistic tools to calm the nervous system, shift mindset and have better happier days with better work/life balance. She is a certified Soul purpose coach, certified breathwork facilitator and Reiki Master who offers 1:1 coaching, wellness workshops and breathwork sessions.You can schedule a discovery call at: www.brighterdayswithrobin.comInstagram and TikTok handle @brighterdayswithrobinFor the girls ready to enter their glow era… I’ve just launched GLOW sessions!GLOW sessions are 1 off, 1:1 coaching sessions on a topic of your choosing, and I’m currently offering them for 50% off as an introductory offer!

  • 6. Ep 06: Redefining self-love with women's NLP coach Sophie French

    58:14
    Ever found self-love to be a bit.... fluffy? Me too. Let's de-fluff self-love and get tangible about what it actually means to practise self-love, both in the physical body and our mind, and how a self-love journey can also be the path to self-trust, and lead to us being more connected to our purpose, our choices and values.This week I'm joined by the ray of sunshine that is Sophie French, a women's coach and creative mentor who supports women to find their soul gifts and share them with the world. She loves working with quietly defiant creatives, artists and biz owners to create a life of freedom and abundance.In this episode we discuss everything RADICAL self-love. Sophie get vulnerable and shares her personal journey in this department, how her relationship to herself was so severely damaged by her adolescent experiences that she began mentally self-destructing, and how she managed to reclaim and define her damaged self-esteem and confidence to a place where she feels completely in tune, connected to, trusting and LOVING of her body and mind.We also get controversial about body neutrality and our personal thoughts on whether the idea of body neutrality is a helpful idea, or whether it can lead to avoidance and numbness when it comes to our connection to our bodies.Sophie also some of her favourite self-love practises that help keep her in tune and EMBODIED in her physical being, and how her journey began through tackling her self-destruction in the mind and ended in an embodied and powerful naked photoshoot in Bali!This episode is for anyone who is ready to reclaim their identity, and nurture their relationship to themselves.I hope you enjoy.If you'd like to connect with Sophie and find out about her offerings, the links are here:https://www.sophiefrench.co/https://www.instagram.com/sophiefrench.co/If you're interested in 1:1 coaching, let’s connect!
