Winter lockdown emergency episode! This episode was recorded Live on Zoom with an audience! I chatted to the brilliant life design coach Selina Barker as a sort of emergency winter lockdown episode on self-care, burnout and overwhelm.It's the end of the year, and a lot of us are feeling low on energy, sad, depleted and overwhelmed. In this episode we discuss the importance of acknowledging our anxiety, how to plan when we can't plan, the myth of "the perfect balance", how to switch off when we can't go on a proper holiday,​ how to nurture yourself, the act of tender discipline, and designing a life you love, even in the hardest of times. You can pre-order Selina's book BURNT OUT now: https://amzn.to/2IL4MC8And a huge thanks to Natasha Russell who helped run this live event with me, if you are looking for help with virtual events, visit her website here: https://natasharussell.co.uk/Hope you enjoy, and if you did, please consider leaving a review somewhere :) Hosted on Acast.

Today’s guest is Rhonda Byrne, most famously known for her book and film: The Secret, viewed and read by millions across the world. The Secret was a global bestseller, published in over 50 languages, with 35 million copies sold. We’re here today to discuss her new book The Greatest Secret - a truly fascinating book about our minds and ridding ourselves of negative thoughts. The book reflects Rhonda’s own journey - and is filled with accessible practices for us to end our suffering, revealing the greatest discovery a human being can ever make, and shows you the way out of negativity, problems, and what you don’t want, to living a life of happiness and your true nature. I found the book really interesting, and I loved getting the chance to ask Rhonda all about it. Link to The Greatest Secret here: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/153/9780008447373Link to SABOTAGE here: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/153/9781529340013 Hosted on Acast.

Welcome back! My guest today is Seth Godin. Seth first came on the podcast in 2017 so it's nice to have a refresher episode! He is the author of 20 books, and his blog, which you’ll find at Seths.blog is one of the most widely read blog on the Internet and he blogs every single day. In his own words: “for more than thirty years, I’ve been trying to turn on lights, inspire people and teach them how to level up.” And that is the best way to describe Seth Godin, he helps people find dignity and motivation in their creative work, and he has been a huge influence on me over the years. We talk about his incredible new book The Practice, which I think is his best book yet. As always, if you enjoy this podcast please do consider leaving a review somewhere. And I'll see you again next week! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
