People Pleasing & Prioritising [Spring #3]

This is the book you absolutely need to read if you feel stuck or are wanting to live a more fun, purposeful and creative life!! The Artist's Way is a 12 week guided practice taking you through various themes and tasks, with daily journaling and weekly solo dates. I'm currently on week 8 and it's been such a gamechanger so far - definitely recommend!! If you've been wanting to buy the book or are just curious, I hope this is a useful episode for diving into the takeaways and practices:) MENTIONED: my recent yt video: finding a new direction and sense of self 🌱 The Artist's Way (here) thank you so much for being here, I love you lots!

Two steps forward, one step back and all that. Join me for a chatty episode discussing how I've been feeling lately, mainly the frustrations around job hunting! Might be a relatable one if you are also in the same boat or just generally are feeling like not much progress is being made towards your goals despite your best efforts. I promise growth is happening even if it feels invisible!! Let me know your thoughts on the ep & I hope you have a wonderful week xox

Because life is short and just one big experiment. Hiya!! Welcome back to a brand new episode of the pod - thank you very much for tuning in. Spring is the ideal time to start taking action on those projects or lifestyles that we’ve been thinking about, planning and dreaming up. But how can we make it easier for ourselves to actually take action on them? In this episode I’m chatting you through 5 different things to implement to help us take action on the things that are important to us. Hope you enjoy the episode and take something away. Share with your friends if you did. Lucy xx MENTIONED: Maisie Hill Experience

Are you giving yourself enough opportunities to succeed? This week we’re chatting all things people pleasing and prioritising - all of those lovely ways we get in our own way and self-sabotage from doing the things that are really important to us. What is it that you’re working on at the moment that you’re not giving enough time to? What are you deprioritising at the first opportunity? How can you give yourself more chances to succeed? Hope you enjoy the ep and I’ll be back for another next Monday! xx P.S. sorry this upload is late - I'm on holiday with very very slow wifi strength which means it's been uploading all day!!

But what does that actually mean? How do we trust the process? Do I follow a plan? Do I wait for things to happen to me? Let's chat fearlessness and trusting the bigger picture. Spring is the time to put into place all those things we've dreamed about, to take action on our goals. What do you most want to do, see, or be in the next few months? And how can trusting the process help?

"Does the garden deserve to grow? No, it's designed to grow." Let's kick off the spring season with a chat about how the idea of needing to deserve growth is crazy! It's not selfish to work on things that feel meaningful to you, in fact usually the opposite is true because you never know who you're going to inspire through the ripple effect of your actions. Spring is the perfect time of year to make changes in your life and start to take action!! What changes do you want to see in this next season? Enjoy the episode and welcome to the spring season!

Rounding up the winter season with some goal setting for the next 90 days!! Really enjoyed setting a direction and intentions for the spring & feel like it's the perfect way to wrap up thinking about the winter themes of reflection, intention and listening to your gut. Hope it inspires you to set some goals of your own for the next three months, let's hit the ground running in spring!!

How do you know where you’re going if you don’t know where you are now? A lot has happened in my life since this time last year!! This week I’m chatting through all the ups and the downs I’ve experienced, from moving out of my uni home, to coming out to friends and family and 4 and a 1/2 months of travelling!! Hope you enjoy this very honest chat - hopefully you feel like a friend on FaceTime:) Lots of love xxx MENTIONED: My YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOWNNa-IQV577_J6GPJhAyg MUSIC: Nostalgia by Tomh. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://fanlink.to/tomh⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported (CC BY 3.0) Free Download / Stream: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3Q74WlO⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Music promoted by Audio Library ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3sj5CMS⁠⁠

How often do you think "I should be better at this," or "I shouldn't feel this way?" This week we're addressing those pesky "shoulds" that get in the way of us knowing what we really want and how we genuinely feel. Listening to our gut feelings is praised, but it's actually kinda hard when we've internalised all these societal expectations and pressures! With 3 strategies to undo these faulty thinking patterns known as cognitive distortions we might be better equipped to tune in to our gut feelings and go after what we want. Hope you enjoy!!

So excited to bring you this week's episode!! It's our first guest episode of the winter season - Lucy Talks with Zara Beth! Zara is such an inspiration - and a woman of many talents! From her 400k+ subscribers on YouTube, to her online art business and soon-to-be-published book, Zara's various outlets for her advocacy work and creativity are all amazing. But it's her resilience, creativity and kindness that I find even more amazing and hope you soak up in this episode. Zara has several neurological disabilities including Tourette's Syndrome, FND and autism which impact her life in different ways. I hope that this episode sheds some light on the reality of living with disabilities and in particular, can help to rewrite the stereotype of autistic people. Being able to recognise and ask for your individual needs to be met is so important - we chat about accepting your capabilities, the freedom that can come from diagnoses and how to put systems in place to support yourself. Thank you so so much for coming on the podcast Zara!! Head over to @lucytalks_ on instagram if you wanna get in touch - or email me [email protected] to chat or for enquiries!
