This week's episode was a raw, real and organic one. I have had to take time to focus on my physical health, and in the process of this, have had a few thoughts I wanted to share. We talk about perfectionism, progress, and small steps to take when your cup feels pretty empty. Perfection does not exist, but progress does. And finding little moments of self-love are so important, even more so when it feels you don't have the time. Instagram: higher_pod Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, let's embark on a journey through the labyrinth of fear and resistance that often accompanies the pursuit of self-development. Fear and resistance are natural responses to the unknown, but they can also be barriers that impede our growth and progress. Drawing from scientific research and personal experiences, I explore the psychology behind fear and resistance, uncovering their roots in our innate desire for safety and familiarity. I also touch on the neuroscience of personal growth, discovering how stepping outside our comfort zones can stimulate neural pathways associated with learning and adaptation.I am hopeful this episode will help equip you with practical strategies for overcoming fear and resistance, empowering you to navigate these obstacles with courage and resilience. From mindfulness and self-compassion to breaking tasks into manageable steps and seeking support from others, I offer a toolbox of techniques to help you overcome fear and take bold strides towards your goals. As you listen, you'll gain valuable insights and inspiration to confront your fears, challenge limiting beliefs, and embrace the transformative journey of self-discovery and personal growth. So, grab your courage by the hand, tune in, and let's navigate fear and resistance together on the path to becoming the best versions of ourselves. Hosted on Acast.

TW: eating disorders/mental illness/binge eating/purging/restrictive eatingThis week's episode is open and raw about how OCD can affect how we look at food. Statistically, if you have OCD, you are more likely to suffer from an eating disorder - and vice versa. Having knowledge of this can be helpful to understand the driver behind disordered eating in order to overcome it, and make food more of an enjoyment than an obsession.You are not alone.https://www.beateatingdisorders.org.uk/24/7 SMS: Text SHOUT to 85258Treatment and support for eating disordersMindhttps://www.mind.org.uk › eating-problems › treatment...

Lucky girl energy or lucky girl syndrome is the mindset of always expecting good things to happen to you. It is the belief that embodying this energy will only magnetise luck towards you.

From NHS nurse to four-time author, she talks her journey to success. She talks through the journey to become a published, successful author, including tips for anyone who is dreaming of doing the same. She has completely transformed her own life, achieving four books with more on the way, whilst working full time as a nurse.

I feel called out by this title. This week, I discuss how much of our stress is caused by a perceived need to be in control. And how unnecessary it is to carry all of that worry! When we release the need for control, then what would happen? Could amazing things, that we might never have dreamed of, find their way to us? Join me to learn to release our inner control freak.

Resilience is hailed as one of the pillars of personal development, but what does it actually mean? Resilience is the ability to remain calm in the face of adversity, in whatever sense. This can be hard for people who are perfectionists, empaths or simply tired! Overwhelm is so common in our society and is almost normalised to be a part of the "hustle". We've all heard: "can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen" - as if staying and getting burnt is a badge of honour...All of this to say, building resilience to difficult situations is a fantastic skill we build as we grow, but it's important to recognise where these feelings come from. As an empath, someone who feels deeply, it can add that extra challenge to situations too. This week, I discuss resilience as an act of self-love and what you can do to help build it.Please rate & review!Instagram: @aselflovestorypod Hosted on Acast.

This week's episode/pep talk talks about the moments of loneliness after working on yourself. Personal development is one of the best things you can do, but no one seems to really talk about the things you (voluntarily) lose along the way. No longer will you be able to participate in low vibe friendships, or to do things that sacrifice your own peace for others. When we invest in ourselves, we see all the times we SHRANK ourselves to fit in a room with smaller minded people. Two things can be true: you can be deeply thankful for good memories with people, and also be ready to remove them from your life. No one looks back at the end of their life, wishing they'd been more average and tried less. No one! Let that drive you, and lean into the loneliness - trusting that it is actually self-prescribed solicitude and peace. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Valentine's is a few days away at the time of publishing, which can fill many with a sense of dread. But... why? Why should we have to be in a romantic relationship to celebrate love?Love is so much more than dating. However, a recent study shows that on average we spend up to SIXTY years with our partner, right up until death. Literally until death do us part. So, why am I talking about this? Well... given that, be so thankful that you have clarity to know you have a right to be choosy about who you spend literal *decades* with. Enjoy this Valentine's alone, show yourself love, your family love and your friends love. Make the most of this time: you don't know how long it will last! I also discuss how to be more intentional on Valentine's if you do have a partner.You will never, ever regret investing time in yourself and stepping out of your comfort zone. Never. Hosted on Acast.

What if I told you there was a simple trick that could literally transform the way you organise and live your life? How to live with your period instead of in spite of it. Our 24 hour days and 9-5 week is not built around our cycles as women or people who menstruate. The world literally isn't structured in a way that supports our natural cycles. However, knowledge is power - knowing your own seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter in the month allows you to delegate important tasks for times when you have more energy. This is a brief run-through of living with your cycle, the power that you have from embracing life as a cyclical being and enjoying life more freely!Learn more here:Unlocking the Power of Cyclical Living - Vix AndertonVix Andertonhttps://vixanderton.com › blog › cyclical-living-the-key-...A Guide to Cyclical LivingAncient + Bravehttps://ancientandbrave.earth › blogs › news › a-guide...Cyclical living.

Internalised misogyny is something so insidious yet prominent in our every day. Women can often have perceived views of other women shaped by an old-fashioned but deeply sexist standard.

This week is fully inspired by one of my favourite authors, Mel Robbins. An episode of her podcast discussed why having a circle that spends their time talking about other people is so detrimental to not only personal growth but our mental health. We have all been guilty of it, but ultimately gossiping comes from a place of deep insecurity, low self-esteem and a desire to belong somewhere. However, we need to take responsibility for how we discuss other people. And guess what? The research shows it only hurts our own mental health. Is that what you want to be? Where you want to focus your energy? I definitely don't.

If you are anywhere north (or south) of the equator, right now we are deep in winter. It's dark most of the day, it's freezing, it's grey and we are hard wired to want to hibernate during this time. This week's episode discusses tips to try and make this time a little easier for yourself, and a reminder that listening to our bodies is more than okay. We do not need to explain ourselves for being literally biologically inclined to want to rest in January! Give yourself lots of love and protect your peace unapologetically. Hosted on Acast.

The fresh, brand new year is a mere three days away! As they say, failing to prepare is preparing to fail. Preparing, planning and clarifying what you TRULY want to achieve sets up success much more easily for you. You deserve to invest time into yourself and your future.

1/10 women and people who have periods have endometriosis. However, far less than this are actually given a diagnosis - in fact, there appears to be a barrier to timely diagnosis for many people with endo. This week, I discuss my own experience of surgery for endometriosis, how I got to that point and options that are available for those of us with endometriosis. I also share some tips that have really helped alleviate the symptoms I've had! My hot water bottle is my BEST friend. It's important to know that you're not alone in this journey and it's okay to find it difficult. Rest, give yourself lots of love and listen to your body.

Often, the lines between self care, self love and self indulgence can be blurred. It's hard to know where one ends and the other begins. Ultimately, self indulgence is a distraction technique from true self care. It is passive and can be destructive, rather than productive. It's importance to recognise what self indulgence for you looks like in order to be mindful going forward. As humans, of course we indulge from time to time - life is too short not to! Where an issue arises is if self indulgence IS your self care. My form of self love used to be entirely indulgent in nature, however, knowledge is power. This one life is far too precious to waste by numbing ourselves out.Instagram: @aselflovestorypod Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week's episode is fully inspired by the book I'm currently reading: A Calm Christmas & A Happy New Year by Beth Kempton. It talks about embracing the month of December in a way that is aligned with what truly matters to you.

Let's be real, rejection hurts. It cuts deep at the time. However, looking at it as an opportunity to step out of your comfort zone and reflect on what needs to change is an incredible way to shape your future. Rejection is often seen as divine protection, because it leads to a better outcome down the line. It's hard to see when it's still raw, but you will be so thankful that you didn't get what you wanted at that time.

Self love encompasses self respect, self discipline and truly celebrating the person you are. Oftentimes, we can stand in our own way. If you wouldn't speak to a friend or loved one that way, why is it so normalised to speak to yourself that way? Being aware of it can help us change it.
