The Maisie Hill Experience

What happens when you decide that now is the perfect time to go after something you really want? It's easy to put off your goals, wait for the right circumstances, or let other people's priorities influence your decisions. But sometimes, a shift in how you think about what's possible can change the way you approach your goals and what happens next.
     
In this episode, I'm joined by Powerful member Katie to talk about her experience of our 30 Day Goal Challenge and how it helped her pursue a sailing qualification she'd wanted for years. We explore the thoughts that helped her take action, how she worked through avoidance and self-doubt, and what she discovered about making intentional decisions and prioritising what matters to her.
     
Listen in to hear how Katie's experience has influenced other areas of her life, including her approach to leadership, her career, and moving house. You'll discover how being intentional about your goals can help you approach challenges differently, recognise new possibilities, and take the lead in creating the experiences you want.

How do you know when it's time to leave a relationship, and when it's your own thoughts that need some attention? Relationships require work, but there's a difference between working through challenges and repeatedly convincing yourself to stay in a situation that isn't making you happy. And sometimes, the tools you use to manage your thoughts and feelings can actually keep you stuck.
     
In this episode, I'm exploring how to recognise when you're using coaching tools against yourself, why it's important to pay attention to uncomfortable emotions, and what happens when you avoid addressing the things that aren't working in your relationships. I'm also looking at how to get clear on what you really want, make decisions for your own reasons, and approach the prospect of ending a relationship.

What if being nice isn't always the kindest thing you can do? Many of us have been taught to be pleasant, agreeable, and considerate of others, but constantly trying to be liked and avoiding uncomfortable conversations can come at a cost. In this episode, I'm exploring why being nice can actually be harmful and what makes kindness a more valuable alternative.
     
I look at the difference between being nice and being kind, and why the two aren't always the same thing. Listen in to discover how to recognise when you're prioritising being liked over being genuinely helpful, and what it takes to start choosing kindness instead.

Are you genuinely tired, or is your brain trying to convince you to avoid something? Knowing when to push forward and when to slow down isn't always straightforward, especially when you're used to being productive and getting things done. In this episode, I'm exploring why recognising your need for rest is so important and what can happen when you ignore it.
      
With the change of seasons leaving so many people feeling tired and less motivated than usual, I'm sharing how I distinguish between my body asking for rest and my brain wanting to avoid something uncomfortable. I also look at why doing less can feel so challenging, particularly when you've been conditioned to measure your worth by how much you do for others, and how self-criticism can get in the way of actually resting.
    
Listen in to discover how to recognise when you need to slow down and make decisions that support your physical and mental wellbeing. You'll learn how to assess your energy, reconsider your commitments, and give yourself the rest you need without turning it into another reason to criticise yourself.

What if the things you're ready to let go of are also the things that can help you grow? Autumn is a powerful reminder that growth isn't always about adding more or moving forward. Sometimes, it's about recognising what has served its purpose, making space for something new, and appreciating the beauty of what comes next.
      
In this episode, I'm reflecting on a childhood memory of planting conkers and watching them grow into trees to explore how our beliefs, experiences, and early influences shape who we become. I look at how some of those beliefs continue to support us while others hold us back, and why the natural cycles of growth, decay, and renewal offer such a useful perspective on our own lives.
     
Listen in to discover how to reflect on the beliefs and narratives you've carried with you, recognise what you're ready to release, and intentionally nurture new ways of thinking. You'll learn how to honour your own pace of growth and use the lessons of your past to influence what happens next.
