Episode 1 - Stop hiding behind your excuses

I’m not sure anyone reads these notes, but if you do, can I just tell you that my aim for this series is that you hear what you need to, not what you want! There are enough people out there doing that, so you have been warned!

Kicking off this first episode of TOUGH LOVE ENERGY ™ PODCAST, it’s impossible to ignore the global pandemic, but here we look at the impact that this shared and collective anxiety is having on us all and just how it is leaving us feeling a little more isolated and a lot more disconnected. I’m hoping this podcast series will make you feel heard and give you somewhere safe to come where we will discuss topics that we are all struggling with.

I start this episode by setting my intention for the series, always important to do! Without wanting to assume anything, I give you a little bit of background information on who I am and what I do, for context. Then we dive straight into the difference between Change and Transformation and just what it means for each of us. 

In acknowledging that world events have the power to change everything I’m using this time to talk about all of the many things we can control. We can control how we react, how we feel and who we show up as

Then, as I move into my Tough Love Energy Mode ™, I’ll show you how we are all hiding behind being busy and using the distractions of everyday life to avoid dealing with what’s right in front of us, and inside us. But no more!

I ask you, is it not better that you discover exactly what you’re afraid of so that you can transform it?

I also ask are you prepared to stop making excuses, saying you’ve no time, blaming others and not accepting responsibility for what’s happening in your life, right now?

It’s your choice. It’s always your choice. 

Finally, we look at just what happens when we disconnect from ourselves, and how easily it happens without us even knowing it. I couldn’t talk about this subject and not mention my upcoming online workshop, RECONNECT – Detox from your People Pleasing Ways which is happening on April 12th. Join me from the safety and comfort of your own home.
