Instead of productivity, try fluid devotion 🙌

According to Google, self-actualisation is the psychological drive to fulfil one's fullest potential, achieve personal growth, and realise one's unique capabilities. It's a wonderful journey to be on, but also...hard!That's why I'm sharing my little method, Essence University, for gently (and hopefully enjoyably) moving towards the end goal of **emotional genius**!!

This week I share 5 ways to take yourself and your dreams seriously. This is such an important topic, and one that will help your confidence, imposter syndrome, and most importantly, your progress towards your goalsHere's the video I was talking about (if you're not in the US, you'll need a VPN to watch this unfortunately): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeXTKoDEtqYEnjoy!!

In this episode, we explore the double-edged sword of reframing — the conscious act of shifting perspective to find meaning or relief. While reframing can be a powerful tool in life and business (especially in sales), it can also become a subtle form of avoidance. I’ll share reflections on AI, identity, emotional honesty, and the tension between optimism and truth. I’m ending each episode with a journal prompt, so that by musing on these topics together, there might be a small but cool transformation that comes out of it 🥰Oh, and here's the podcast episode I talk about. I laughed out loud multiple times: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3gKW5eISfhdcJYj3XfgCMK

I'm back after far too long with an episode of my lifelong pursuit of lightness and freedom. I tell the (hopefully slightly interesting) story of how I came to delight in the rejection of material possessions, and how that started to feed into a more balanced, creative, and fulfilling life. I hope you enjoy the episode!

I'm sharing my perhaps counter-intuitive approach to finding motivation when you have none. Pulling stories from my gymnastics career, my first "real" job, and a recent difficult experience, I'm hoping that this method might help you in a tricky time 💝Here's the Simon Sinek talk I mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4ZoJKF_VuA

Yes, fluid devotion is a woo-woo turn of phrase, but let's give it a whirl anyway! Today I share my perspective on how to make your time and energy work for you. (Sorry about the slight breathiness on the audio. I've done a lot of editing to try to reduce it and will make sure it doesn't happen again next time!)

Are you deferring to the authority of someone else, and do you even know you're doing it? I was, and I didn't. Here's my spiel on the challenges of becoming the authority figure and influencer in your own life.

I think I love this episode! I talk about being honest with yourself (a lot), Timothée Chalamet, how performing authenticity limits us, and probably overshare about my own life a bit too much ;) Join me! 🩵

I truly hope it's not too obnoxious to have an episode giving advice on how to not take advice, but here we are! This one is all about advice, skills, and intuition 🔮

Welcome to my very first episode of The Corner! I'll be sharing my thoughts on how to build a sense of self-love through acceptance and the pursuit of integrity. I hope you enjoy my musings ☺️(There is a tiny bit of swearing on this podcast so I had to mark it as explicit in the Spotify podcast system, but I hope there's nothing deeply offensive to you on this show!)
