Teddi Mellencamp | Top tips for Getting Motivated
Teddi Mellencamp is an accountability coach who came to the realisation that the thing standing between her and the goals she wanted to achieve was her. After that lightbulb moment Teddi pieced together what else she needed to do in order to achieve her goals and exit the vicious cycle of where someone, or something, was always to blame. In this episode we discuss:Why comparison kills all joy and how to avoid it.Why it’s so easy to get caught in a vicious cycle where you’re actively working against yourself without realising.The trap of ‘misery loves company’.Why it’s so unhelpful to look for external validation and why it’s vital to develop that skill within yourself.Why the physical transformation is nothing compared to the mental and emotional one when you start taking accountability.Why self-sabotaging behaviour is trying to stop you from feeling something you should be feeling.The value is opening up the lines of communication with your inner circle so you feel seen and heard.Why it’s a myth that motivated people wake up motivated every day.The best investment you can make is in yourself.Snapping yourself out of feeling like a victim.To find out more about Teddi's accountability programme, click here: ALL IN by Teddi.To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Hey!

Beauty Special | Natters that Matter with Rosie Green
This episode is brought to you in collaboration with Philips. I started trying all the ways that someone can remove their hair from a very early age and, trust me when you’ve got over 30 years of hair removal under your belt you realise how so many of them are messy, uncomfortable, ineffective and inconvenient - it’s a veritable comedy of hair removal errors! This is why I’ve asked author and columnist - and my mate - Rosie Green to join me in a no-holds-barred chat about the embarrassing stories we both have from our hair removal attempts. We also opened the floor to you, my most excellent listeners, and we share some of the mishaps you’ve had in pursuit of hair-free body parts. Spoiler alert - we were nearly in tears laughing over some of them.To find out more about the Philips Lumea visit: Philips Lumea IPL 9000 Series.To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Hey!
