Monday Motivation! Just because something’s hard, it doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

Murder, she wrote. "Your password is incorrect". Bollocks, she thought.

What do you have against bass? You bassist

Let's talk.

There's a psychological quirk that quietly sabotages so many of our relationships and interactions. And once you see it, you really can't unsee it.

Happy Friday! #FeelGoodFriday

Feeling like the real you is invisible is one of the loneliest feelings there is. You're not a fraud. You might just not have felt safe enough yet to be fully seen. New episode out now.

You can’t bully yourself into confidence. Old beliefs soften best with patience, practice, and a bit of kindness.

There are plenty of miserable wealthy people. Wellbeing isn't about money. It's about richness in other areas. The ones we can actually influence. New episode out now.

A lot of people tell me they don't like themselves. But when I ask them to tell me why, the evidence they come up with is rarely as damning as they think.

Monday Motivation! No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn’t trying.

Goodnight everyone and good luck! 🫠

Confidence isn’t always natural. Sometimes it has to be nurtured, slowly, with better evidence than the past gave you.

You can listen to every podcast and watch every video. It does nothing without action. I say that as someone who makes a podcast. New episode out now.

Some people look incredibly confident from the outside. Driven, outspoken, successful. But busyness can be one of the cleverest hiding places there is.

Not every rude comment deserves an emotional response. Sometimes it’s just “your dentist is a Libra.”

Someone else thriving isn't proof you can't. It's proof you can. And some of those feelings of inferiority? They might not even be yours. They might belong to the past. New episode out now.

Whether it's confidence, weight loss, or anger management. Three things keep coming up again and again in therapy. And honestly? They apply to pretty much everything.

The dictionary definition of confidence sounds nice. But in the therapy room, it rarely tells the whole story. I think we could rethink what we're actually going for.

Monday Motivation! If you never make time for wellness you might be forced to make time for illness. Do something for yourself today. Even if it’s nothing.

Other people’s opinions can be information. But they don’t have to become your identity.

What if being "unlikable" was never the problem? Sometimes the belief creates the evidence. Change the behaviour slightly and you start getting different evidence back. The story might not even be true.

Confidence isn’t one thing. It helps to know what you actually want to feel more confident about.

Sometimes you see someone doing something you’d love to do, and part of you just knows they’ll manage it.

Sometimes the thing holding us back isn’t ability. It’s the story we’ve lived inside for too long.

Energy often arrives after we begin, not before. Sometimes the smallest action changes the whole mood.

Bugger this. I'm putting on a jumper.

When you understand your own patterns, your own triggers, your own habits of thought, you’ve got a better chance of choosing what you do next. And sometimes that’s where attitude begins.

Monday Motivation! Change is good. If it wasn't for change there wouldn't be butterflies.

A better relationship with yourself rarely arrives all at once. It’s built in small moments of patience and honesty.

Comfort zones are useful. But they’re not meant to become prisons.

Staying informed matters. But at some point, it stops being useful information and starts becoming the filter you see the world through. And that has an effect. A few minutes of news might be enough to know what you need to know. After that, maybe it’s just keeping you stuck.

Not every thought you have about yourself is true. Some of it may just be old programming in a familiar voice.

The good stuff is often quiet. Which is why we have to practise noticing it.

If life has taught you to expect disappointment, criticism, rejection, or things going wrong, then of course part of you might brace for that. That’s not weakness. That’s self-protection. But what protected you once might be holding you back now.

Acceptance isn’t laziness. It’s often the first honest step towards real change.

Monday Motivation! When a child falls down 50 times when learning to walk it never thinks to itself “Maybe I should give up”

Your passion might not need to become your job. It might just need somewhere to go.

A bad attitude isn’t always a personality flaw. Sometimes it’s just a thought you’ve had so many times it’s started to feel like a fact. And once a thought becomes a belief, it gathers emotion around it. Then it affects what you do. Then what you do reinforces the belief.

You don’t need January, a Monday, or the first of the month to begin treating yourself a bit more kindly.

Happy Friday! #FeelGoodFriday

What would change in your life if you no longer believed that vulnerability was weakness? Better relationships. Better sleep. Less rage. Less loneliness. More peace. People don’t open up because they’re shamed into it. They open up when it finally feels safe enough.

Me (being caught in bed with an optical illusion): it’s not what it looks like.

Sometimes enthusiasm isn’t something new to discover. Sometimes it’s something old to remember."

Self-esteem isn’t built only by listing your strengths. Sometimes it begins when you stop making your worth conditional.
