Oh, this was a cracking conversation, and I have a feeling a few of you are going to recognise yourselves in it. I certainly did! I finally managed to sit down with Lisa Adams from The Regulated Leader for one of our Skool Events Daily interviews. We've been trying to arrange this chat for ages, so it was lovely to finally get together. Now, here's something that really caught my attention. Have you ever known EXACTLY what you need to do to move your business forward, known it would help you, perhaps even paid good money to learn how to do it… and then proceeded to do absolutely everything EXCEPT that? Oh, I know that one rather well! 😂 Lisa explained how some of the things we put down to procrastination, overthinking or a lack of discipline can actually be connected to how our nervous system responds when something feels uncomfortable or threatening. And this is where it gets interesting. You might desperately want to grow your business, become more visible, start making videos or put yourself out there. But if being seen has felt unsafe to you in the past, your body may be putting up a rather determined fight against your plans. So instead of doing that video, you suddenly find yourself scrolling through Facebook, rearranging your desk or deciding that NOW would be an excellent time to learn something else! Sound familiar? 😁 What I particularly liked about Lisa's approach is that she's not suggesting we all need another enormous programme of work to add to our already overflowing plates. Quite the opposite. Her free 90-minute workshops are designed to help people recognise a pattern that's holding them back and walk away with one small, practical tool they can actually use. Not another notebook full of wonderful ideas that ends up gathering dust on the shelf. And believe me, I've got a few of those! Lisa also shared a lovely example of a client in his 50s who had always considered himself shy. His goal was to make just ONE YouTube video during their eight weeks together.

I've got a few thoughts on this, but I'm keeping my mouth shut for now! 😂 Vote first. We'll talk about it shortly.

I've been having a lovely chat with Jude Hill, the woman behind Thrive Together Women's Circle, and we managed to cover everything from Akashic Records and past lives to business accountability, menopause and the general joys of being a woman! 😂 And that's rather the point of Jude's community. Women have an awful lot going on, don't we? We're building businesses, raising families, navigating relationships, dealing with ageing parents and occasionally trying to remember who the hell we were before everyone needed something from us! Jude has created a space where women can come together, support each other and actually talk about these things. We chatted about her regular networking and accountability sessions, the guest experts she brings into her community, and her upcoming Akashic Records healing and balancing session, which naturally got my attention because I find that whole subject fascinating. One thing I particularly liked was Jude's Daily Pockets of Sunshine. A little something positive to read with your morning cuppa instead of opening social media and immediately wondering what's gone wrong with the world today! But what really came through in our conversation was how important genuine connection is to Jude. It's not simply about attending another Zoom call. It's about finding women who understand what you're going through, who'll encourage you, share their experiences and occasionally give you that little nudge you need. And sometimes that's worth its weight in gold. So, grab yourself a cuppa and have a listen to our conversation. You might just discover a lovely new circle of women to connect with.

There’s a question for you. 😂 Go and have another look at the last post you wrote about your event, but this time try looking at it as someone who knows absolutely nothing about you or what you do. Would it make you stop and have a read, or would your thumb just carry on scrolling? Sometimes we get so close to what we’re creating that we forget everybody else doesn’t automatically know why they should be interested. So tell them! Give them a reason to want to be there, let them know what they’ll get from it and, most importantly, let a bit of 𝘆𝗼𝘂 come through in the post. Now go and look at yours. 𝗪𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗴𝗼? 👀
