The Confidence Chronicles

Y'all it's almost Mother's Day, and I wanted to share with you a really special conversation that I had with my mum at the end of last year. This was just after my father had flown back to Peurto Rico after being in Australia with us for Christmas. I had not seen him in 20 years and I flew him out for the first time ever. My mum had not seen him in 25 years. It was a big fucking deal and there were a lot of emotions.So I wanted to talk to my mum about how she felt about reuniting with him after so many years, and how her thoughts about him may have changed. I hope you enjoy!Go back and listen to my previous episode: Reuniting with my dad after 20 years to get the full picture.Visit my website for all the ways you can work with me online right now UPCOMING VIRTUAL EVENT:Power Couples Masterclass with Erika & Hamish - May 16th, 2020Join my online coaching program for women - the Sistahood👑 Want to request a podcast?

I received a great question via my website for our Q&A today ladies! The question was this: How to not let your own insecurities about your body interfere with your sex life with your partner when they have a better physique than you do. How do you not let your feelings of low self-esteem or low self-worth cock-block you from having the intimate relationship that you want to have?I did a podcast on this topic a little while ago "Why You Need To Love Your Body TODAY" so first of all, go and listen to that episode after this one.When we don't feel comfortable in our own bodies, we lack confidence in our own body, you better believe we show up in the world like that. We wear the baggy clothes, we hide ourselves away and we don't own the body that we currently have. We don't talk to our partners about it either. We just assume that they don't want to have sex with us, they don't want to be intimate with us, but where is that coming from? That's your own dialogue my love. Accepting what is, that's hard as fuck I know. I've been there. It's a journey and it takes time, but I hope this Q&A helps you think about your body and your sex life differently.Visit my website for all the ways you can work with me online right now UPCOMING VIRTUAL EVENT:Power Couples Masterclass with Erika & Hamish - May 16th, 2020Join my online coaching program for women - the Sistahood👑 Want to request a podcast?

My friends, I am extremely excited to present my guest for today, Marlee Liss. This has been one of my most favourite episodes I've done as an interview so far. I cried many times and I feel the message that Marlee has to share is such an important one. Marlee has an absolutely extraordinary story. She was sexually assaulted when she was 21 years old and the court proceedings that followed actually concluded in restorative justice. Basically this is where the focus is on repair rather than punishment and it is not something you hear about very often. In fact, Marlee's case was the first in North America to resolve in restorative justice. I found this conversation to be truly inspiring and resonated with me on so many levels.Marlee now helps women claim sacred sensuality so they can live in self-love and inner wholeness. As a women’s embodied love coach, author and retreat facilitator, she has worked internationally to inspire transformative healing. Marlee’s work is deeply shaped by her background in social work, trauma-informed yoga, somatic sex education, and body image facilitation.

During this weird ass time I've been getting a lot of questions from y'all about how to stop yourself from feeling all the anxious thoughts due to all the uncertainty. The answer is fairly simple, don't go future. All you need to do right now is to stay here and acknowledge that in this moment, you have everything you need. Look at how many of your thoughts are in a future that hasn't come yet. Use this time to exercise presence. What are you thinking? Who are you listening to? What are you paying attention to? Who are you following on social media?Take a break my love and go do something, watch something or listen to something that makes you laugh. Don't go future. There is no future. There is only now.Books that I mentioned:Echkart Tolle - The Power Of NowThe Practice Of The Power Of Now for the more "cliff notes" versionVisit my website for all the ways you can work with me online right now UPCOMING VIRTUAL EVENT:Power Couples Masterclass with Erika & Hamish - May 16th, 2020Join my online coaching program for women - the Sistahood👑 Want to request a podcast?

My love, you don't need to hold everything together all the time. You're telling yourself that you need to hold it together for your partner, your kids, your work, your health but there's nothing healthy about "holding it together". You need to let some of the pressure out or you're going to explode like a fucking shaken up champagne bottle. If you don't relieve the pressure on a regular basis, shit's going to get real. But there's a big caveat to this ladies - this permission to break down is only for the ladies that have been working on themselves, that have healed a lot of their shit, that are managing their mind and have the proper tools in their toolkit. If you've got the tools, when you break down you'll be able to work through them, feel those feelings and move through them. If you haven't been working on your shit, then "breaking down" is just another excuse to not do anything.Visit my website for all the ways you can work with me online right now UPCOMING VIRTUAL EVENT:Power Couples Masterclass with Erika & Hamish - May 16th, 2020Join my online coaching program for women - the Sistahood👑 Want to request a podcast?

After so many episodes of the Confidence Chronicles podcast, I've realised that I've barely spoken about death and the grieving process. As you may know, my husband Jeo died in 2007 and I had never had anyone close to me die before. I had no idea how to handle it, process it and work through it at the time so I suppressed the emotions. It wasn't until I discovered the work of Byron Katie that I began to process and understand what grief meant for me personallyThe more I work on myself, the more I go into the rabbit hole and managing my mind, the more I am able to reconcile with what is and what can happen.So many of you have lost people or will lose people. What we know for sure is that just as we were born, we will die. How is it that we still struggle with this, even though we know for sure it's going to happen. It's such an interesting topic to talk about and I wanted to give you a bit of insight into how I have made peace with death.Visit my website for all the ways you can work with me online right now UPCOMING VIRTUAL EVENT:Power Couples Masterclass with Erika & Hamish - May 16th, 2020Join my online coaching program for women - the Sistahood👑 Want to request a podcast?

Look, I know you're sick of hearing about COVID19 and I know you're probably getting a million emails from businesses talking about it too. I don't want to add to it and I know we all just want to get on with our lives, but the fact of the matter is right now things are different. Life is different and how are you handling it? Like really, deep down, how are you handling your current situation, whatever that looks like for you.There are a few things that I'm witnessing that I wanted to bring to your attention today that you can be sure are not serving you during this time, or really ever to be honest. But it's worth looking at right now while you have the time and the space to go inwards.Generalising peopleTaking on the mediaProjecting yo' shitMartyrdom (this word y'all - it's too big)Numbing outI hope you enjoy this episode my love.
