Do you ever feel like your life is too full to make meaningful changes, even though you know something needs to shift? This week, I’m helping you recognise and shift the thought errors that keep you stuck in that cycle. These patterns of thinking, like “I don’t have time”, “it’s not the right moment”, or “this will take too much”, feel true, but they’re often just your brain’s way of avoiding discomfort. In this episode, I walk you through how to identify these thought errors for what they are, challenge them, and replace them with questions that open up new possibilities. You’ll learn how to work with your brain instead of against it, so you can stop waiting for the perfect moment and start making progress today. Whether your goals feel too big, too far away, or just too hard to start, this conversation will help you take the next doable step toward real change.

249. Decision Making for Your Future Self
Do you find yourself hesitating when faced with a decision, even one that could move you closer to what you truly want? In this episode, I’m talking about decision making for your future self, and how the choices you make today shape the person you become tomorrow. Every decision is an opportunity to grow, to learn, and to step into a version of yourself that is more confident, aligned, and capable. We explore how to shift your focus away from outcomes and external validation, and instead tune into the long-term impact of your choices on your personal growth. You’ll learn why connecting with your future self can provide clarity, why discomfort often signals that you’re on the right path, and how self-trust transforms uncertainty into decisive action. This episode also covers how to use your decisions to strengthen boundaries, prioritise what matters, and act in alignment with your values, even when it feels uncomfortable.

248. Setting Personal Standards That Serve You
Do you ever pause to consider what your personal standards are and how they shape your life? Your standards, whether about how you dress, how you spend your time, or who you spend it with, guide your choices and actions. They set the tone for how you treat yourself and how others treat you, and they can be consciously chosen or subtly learned over time. In this episode, I explore how to notice, assess, and work with your personal standards. I share examples from my own life, from clothing choices to money routines, to show how even small standards reflect your self-worth and influence your daily life. You will learn how to identify when your standards are supporting you or holding you back, why the way you treat yourself is paramount, and how small adjustments can ripple out into other areas of your life.

247. Goal Setting and The Long Game of Change
Do you ever feel frustrated when your most important goals seem to take forever to achieve? The goals that require you to expand your identity and sense of self aren’t quick wins or overnight successes. They are the slow burns that transform who you are while you work toward them, demanding patience, commitment, and consistent effort over time. I’m talking about the long game of change and why your most important goals need space to reshape you. You’ll discover how to build delay tolerance, use uncomfortable emotions as fuel, and prune away distractions and old identities that hold you back. You’ll also have practical ways to stay committed when progress feels slow and learn how to keep moving forward even when the immediate reward isn’t visible.

246. Discernment and Trusting Your Inner Knowing
Do you trust the things your body tells you, even when you can’t explain them or get someone else to validate them? Many of us who’ve been socialised as female have been trained to doubt what we sense, to question our instincts, and to defer to others’ opinions, even when our internal knowing is guiding us correctly. This conditioning shapes the way we make decisions, respond to relationships, and navigate our work and creative projects. In this episode, I’m exploring discernment—the ability to perceive what’s obscure and trust your knowing, even when it can’t be fully explained or justified. You’ll learn how to tell the difference between clean discernment and fear-based decision-making, recognise when you’re relying too heavily on external validation, and strengthen your ability to trust yourself. This episode is about tuning into your internal sense, making decisions that feel coherent, and building the muscle to honour your knowing without apology.
