Feeling stable and secure is a huge contributing factor to how we feel. So whether that's secure in our relationships, or our work , or our finances, if one of these is missing we can feel unstable, without fiorm foundations. And a house built on uneven, unstable foundations, doesn't last. What feels most stable in your life? What are you sure about and what feels wobbly? If there are things that you feel need some attention don't ignore it. Get the foundations right and then you can start building.

Our body is always giving us feedback. I was chatting to a lovely lady today about how she has hit a brick wall, was feeling really emotional and gave herself some time off to rest and recuperate. She has come back today, full of energy and raring to go again. How often do you give your body and your nervous system time to get back to normal - or homeostasis? What does it even look like, or feel like if you are out of sorts and what can you do to get back into flow, back to being able to access all of your functions? Here are my thoughts.

Welcome to the first in the 'Lounge Chats' series. Where I talk to inspirational women, who are just like you and me, from around the world. In this episode, I'm talking to the fabulous Laura Bailey. Laura is a social media coach and business mentor. She decided to become self-employed after being made redundant from her role in the corporate sector. Her business grew to such an extent she was unable to manage the workload on her own. Cue her lifelong best friend Lorraine, who is a Business Finance Expert, to help her out. Together they are on a mission to help as many female business owners as they can. They understand that being a business owner can feel lonely and at times overwhelming. Their aim is to support as many business owners as they can to scale their businesses and achieve their goals. We chat about how we can't always wait for confidence before we step out into the unknown, how important it is to have a community of like-minded people around you and how she now gets to create a work/life balance so that her health issues stay manageable. You won't want to miss this one! You can find Laura here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/seriousaboutbusiness

We've all been there - feeling like we don't belong because we're not smart enough, experienced enough (fill in the blank) and that sooner or later someone is going to call us out for being a fraud! If Imposter Syndrome is stopping you from making the changes and progress you would like I have some tips for you.

Understanding our seasons and cycles is extremely empowering. It puts us in the driving seat rather than us feeling that we are always at the mercy of our fluctuating moods and energy levels. It may help you to plan your month so that you can better align your activities with how you are likely to be feeling. This increases the chances of making the most out of every stage of our month. It means that we don’t have to try and be Wonder Woman and ignore the fluctuations in our energy levels. So embrace the way we were made and use it to your advantage. And if you want to share this with the men in your life to improve their understanding then go for it!

What is the prize? Your prize relates to goal setting;  whatever it is that you have your eye on, the prize, what you have set your sights on.  Now for some of us that's easier said than done isn't it? Some of us may have a really great idea of what the goal is what it is that we're aiming for and  we know where we're going. But for others of us we may not even know where to start! That's fine – it’s normal and hopefully some of the things you hear today will help you to define your goals and set your eyes on the prize.

It's time to dig deep and to  think really hard about what your strengths are. About what it is that you have to offer to the world. In this brief episode I share how. 

Success.  How do we measure it? I spoke a little while ago about exam results and how your grades don't define you. This got me thinking about how else we measure success .Success is offered measured by tangible outcomes; GCSEs, A Levels, degrees, professional qualifications and so on. We use those as a benchmark to measure success but actually successes so much more than that.

Possibility only becomes a reality, when we show up, and we do all that we can and when believe that that is actually true. The mind is such a powerful thing.  Remember,  that everything starts with a thought.

It can feel really discouraging when we feel like the odds are stacked against us. Do not let the thought of how big the odds are that stacked against you or how many odds are stacked against you, put you off what it is you really want to do.  You can, with the right mindset, achieve anything that you want to.  Don't let your Goliath in your life defeat you. And just remember that David was victorious. And with the right mindset, you will be too.
