The Stage Strong Podcast

In part 2 of this month's theme, I'm exploring the pressure to be confident, positive, easy-going or constantly successful, and why we sometimes adapt ourselves to gain acceptance or avoid judgement.We're looking at the difference between healthy adaptation and losing touch with our authentic selves, how to recognise the roles we unconsciously play, and practical ways to reconnect with who we really are.You spend enough time playing other people. You deserve to feel comfortable being yourself, too! Enjoy! 

When so much of your life is dedicated to performing, it can be difficult to separate what you do from who you are.In the first episode of the month I'm exploring how our careers become intertwined with our identity and self-worth, why professional success and rejection can feel so personal, and what happens when we're no longer performing.So we're looking at how to build a stronger sense of self beyond the stage, without losing the passion and ambition that drives us. Performing can be a huge part of who you are, but it doesn't have to define your entire worth.Enjoy! 

Stress looks different for everyone, so how do you recognise when you're reaching your limit? In this final episode, I'm helping you to create your personal stress reset - identifying your early warning signs, understanding your triggers and finding simple, realistic ways to manage stress before it becomes overwhelming.Enjoy!
