Most people don't realise that they have a LOT more energy, motivation and power than they think they have. We all have a (often dormant) power within us that, when tapped into, can give us all the energy we need to consistently go after our goals, and in a way that's enjoyable and minimises the chances of burnout. So if you want to learn how to tap into this latent power, then strap in, grab a cuppa and let's dig into it in this episode.   SHOW NOTES: Would you like to take the Full Life Audit?

The relationships we forge play a major part in our overall levels of happiness and success. And – unfortunately – there is sometimes a darker side to relationships that we need to watch out for. Some people have less than scrupulous intentions and may be using tactics to manipulate or even con you. So in order to protect yourself against this, it's important that you know how to spot these tactics. And in this episode that's what we'll be doing! We'll be taking a look at 4 Tactics that manipulative people use to take advantage of you.  These are also lesser known tactics and sometimes quite difficult to spot so by learning what they are, you can become more sensitive to them and avoid being manipulated and taken advantage of.   SHOW NOTES The Shrink next Door Podcast on Apple Books mentioned: The Confidence Game by Marie Konnikova Would you like to take the Full Life Audit?

Feeling like life is a bit of a slog at the moment? Or maybe you feel like something is just 'missing' from your life and you're not as happy as you'd like to be? Usually, there's a simple solution to this: you need to check-in with your values. When we're not living life in alignment with our values then something tends to feel just a little bit 'off'. We struggle for motivation, it feels like we're not doing what we're meant to do, and our levels of happiness suffer as a result. So in this week's episode, we're going to solve that!  We're going to look at how to boost your happiness by Aligning with your Life Values.
