The Leanne Shelton Podcast

I have a question for you - what are you grateful for today? Can you easily rattle off at least three things? Or are you having a rough day and struggling to pinpoint even one? Today, I'm chatting with Ally Monaghan from Anella Beauty about achieving greatness through gratitude. Ally has immersed herself into a daily gratitude practice that has gotten her through difficult times in recent years - and helped her see all those silver linings. Get ready for an empowering and fun episode as part of Mindset month for the Marketing & Me podcast! Let's jump in.

Do you completely freak out when it comes to confrontation? And do you prefer to ignore issues with non-performing team members or pain-in-the-bum clients, or ask someone else to deal with them, rather than tackle them head on? If yes, today's interview will be music to your ears. I'm chatting with Leisa Molloy about ways to handle those difficult conversations - and she has some real gold nuggets of advice to dish out. This episode kicks off the monthly theme of 'Mindset' for the Marketing & Me podcast. So stay tuned for more interviews and solo episodes on this topic in January. But for now, grab your pen and paper and get ready to be enlightened!

Yay! It's 2022 - happy new year everyone!! I hope you and your loved ones remain happy and healthy in this crazy world of ours. I'm currently taking a much-earned break from the podcast - so, like last week, I'm bringing you another flashback to a popular episode. It's an interview I had with the fabulous Cindy Shames on "Building a business with a positive mindset". It's a beautiful episode to kick off the year. Whether you've already listened to it or if you're new to the show, I know you're going to love it. I'll bring you a brand new episode again next Monday. And I'm introducing monthly themes this year...for something a bit different. So if you need support in a particular topic, you can binge-listen to a whole bunch of relevant and useful content.

During the summer break, I thought I'd bring you a popular past episode for you to enjoy! The topic is "The incredible benefits of detoxifying your mind and body" with Lynda Dyer, which I believe is particularly timely right now...When you're probably feeling a bit bloated from all the silly season meals... Stay tuned for a brand new episode again on 10th January. In the meantime, feel free to binge-listen to past 'Marketing & Me' episodes over the break.

In last week's episode, I mentioned my personal goal of stepping out of my comfort zone to try new things every single year. Because, ultimately, I don't ever want to experience two identical years. Or feel like I'm simply floating through life as a passenger. I'm determined to remain in the driving seat and live a long and fulfilling life on this planet. I've read too many books, watched too many TV shows and movies, and heard too many stories about people living with regrets. People saying 'If only things were different'. People who have lost their sense of direction and feel bored. People who try to live through their children, because they never felt brave enough to grab their own opportunities as they arose. As we come to the end of another year, I want to ask you this - are you happy with how you handled 2021? Could you have done more to achieve your goals and become your best possible self? Today, I wanted to share my addiction with you. My addiction to challenging myself. And it's something I will continue into 2022 and beyond. Let's get started!

As famously said by motivational speaker Jim Rohn, we are the average of the five people we spend the most time with. So who are those 5 people for you? Are you hanging out with those who constantly frustrate you - and bring you down? Or are you hanging around inspirational and supportive people, who uplift you every day, and are keen to see you succeed? In today's episode of Marketing & Me, I'm sharing some stories from my life and highlighting my personal strategies to ensure I'm surrounding myself with the RIGHT people. The episode will be spoken from the heart - sometimes showing my vulnerability. But I want you all to understand how hanging out with the wrong people has impacted me - and why I'm determined to never go back there. Let's jump in.
