Are You on Purpose or on AutoPilot?
Do you feel like you are on autopilot at times? Wondering if you are living your life on purpose?👑 How can you create a sense of fulfilment and happiness in your life, particularly if you feel stuck in a place that doesn't align with your desires?👑 How can you create space in your life to tap into your intuition and listen to your inner voice?👑 How can you intentionally check-in with yourself to determine if you are on the right track and pursuing what you truly want?These are some of the deep questions I covered in this listener requested episode (thanks Monique!) This episode is for YOU if you have ever questioned your purpose or checked in with your intentions. I firmly believe that if something elicits a strong emotional response and makes you feel passionate, it's a sign that you're on the right track. But let's face it, life can be tough. It's full of challenges and difficulties that can make us feel stuck and unfulfilled. That's why it's essential to examine whether we're truly pursuing what we want or if we're simply on autopilot.I dive deep into the importance of intuition and how it often gets lost in the noise of our busy lives. I encourage you to pay attention to your own life, ask yourself important questions, and be open to making changes in your job or living situation based on your reflections.So, if you're ready to gain clarity on whether you're truly living with purpose or simply going through the motions, join me on this episode Queen. Together, we'll uncover the power of intention and embark on a journey towards living a truly fulfilling life. Here are some of the key takeaways you'll get from this episode:1. Learn how to tap into your passions and emotions to find your true purpose.2.Balancing Present and Future Goals: While it's essential to embrace and enjoy the present moment, it's equally important to have a big vision for your future. By reverse engineering your big goals, you can set a plan of action and make intentional choices to bring them to fruition.3. Discover the importance of setting a clear vision for your future and taking daily action towards achieving it.4. Explore the power of intuition and how to quiet the noise around you to hear your inner guidance.

In this episode, I'm sharing it with you.Real confidence comes from facing that fear of change head-on.👉🏽 It comes from breaking away from the safe👉🏽 It comes from changing the familiar,👉🏽 It comes from daring to redefine ourselves.And you my love, have the power to make change in your life.You have the power to grow and live a life you truly desire.🔥 If you're ready to embrace change🔥 If you're ready to swap comfort for courage🔥 If you're ready to build your confidenceI am here to support you sis.

Doing Divorce Differently with Danni Zetzer
🤯Research says people stay in unhappy marriages for TWELVE YEARS, and the average age for people to get divorced … 40 or 45. That is a LONG time to be unhappy. But how do you know if divorce is the next step or if you’re not in that space how can work with your partner now to ensure you AVOID it all together? When you do get DIVORCED it’s a big, scary word that for most of us brings up the idea of a messy, nasty and expensive process full of bitterness and resentment. But what if I told you it doesn’t have to be this way? What if there was ANOTHER WAY to complete a relationship? One with grace, peace and dignity? My incredible guest, Danni Zetzer is here to help you do just that, her work as a family divorce lawyer helps women (and men) do divorce differently - or avoid divorce altogether - by giving people a pathway to agency, facilitating amicable separation and helping to keep families out of court.Danielle shares how her own experiences of divorce, both as a child of divorced parents AND as a divorced single mother of three have shaped her work as a lawyer, and how by taking a different approach to divorce she’s seen her clients save HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of dollars and lessen the impact on themselves, their kids and everyone around them.

Reframing Impostor Syndrome
Ever struggled with Impostor Syndrome?Well this is the episode for you my friend. In this episode I am sharing my thoughts on impostor syndrome and the importance of reframing our perspective on it. My intention for this reframe? To actually inquire if you truly are an "impostor". You see, the term implies being fake or not the real deal, which doesn't align with the process of personal growth and development. In todays episode I want to support you to normalise feeling scared, doubtful, and uncertain while pursuing your goals. And that Instead of labelling ourselves as impostors, I want to encourage you to acknowledge your current position as a work-in-progress, focusing on the phrase "not yet" to signify ongoing growth. I discuss the significance of self-talk, celebrating accomplishments, and surrounding yourself with a supportive community to counteract feelings of inadequacy. It is so important to challenge negative thoughts and beliefs, manage your mind, and cultivating self-compassion if you want to get a handle on overcoming impostor syndrome.In this episode I cover:How you can reframe impostor syndrome by questioning the term "impostor" itself and consider whether it truly applies to your journey of personal growth and progress.How this one phrase can support you to eradicate your impostor syndrome.The importance of challenging negative self-talk.Why it's so necessary to celebrate your achievements, and surround yourself with supportive individuals who believe in your potential.And so much more...This episode will inspire you to reevaluate your perception of impostor syndrome, empower you to embrace your journey of becoming, and provide practical strategies for overcoming self-doubt and cultivating self-compassion.🔥 MY BIRTHDAY EXTRAVAGANZA IS ENDING! IF you haven't already noticed we have taken 40% OFF every program and product we offer in my business.This is the ULTIMATE MID-YEAR Level Up so do not miss this!Click here to check out all the good 👑 Hosted on Acast.
