Merry Christmas to all of my listeners, I am so grateful for you all! -

Gratitude is such an important practice to focus on for mental health and happiness, which is why I love that it's Thanksgiving this week! A time to slow down and appreciate the good things we have in life with those we love most. However, I recorded this episode because I feel like sometimes we feel bad for wanting more in life - like we "should" just be grateful for what we already have. So we shut down our BIG dreams and let the fears and doubts get in the way from us taking action on them. Because also, what if we fail and never get to our goals? It's tempting to push them away and settle for what we have.
So this episode is the pep talk you need to allow yourself to dream as BIG as your heart desires from a place of abundance and gratitude by introducing you to one of my favourite gratitude practices that goes beyond your stereotypical advice.

I'm so excited to announce that my latest book, "Okay, Now What?", is officially on sale!! So in this episode I share the recording of my Instagram Live book launch, and dive deep into the journey of writing this book and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.
Get your copy here!
After having written 3 books for teens, this book is for ADULTS.
Because I'm sure you've discovered like I have, life doesn't get any easier as we get older.
In fact, major life changes happen every 12 to 18 months on average.
And some of these changes are very unwanted.
Deaths, diagnoses, divorces - there's endless ways we can be blindsided.
Or sometimes it's just the daily things that keep going off track.
And a critical skill to handle it all is resilience.By 'resilience' I don’t mean just smother your struggle with smiles and try to snap back to happiness.
Resilience is more than just 'bouncing back', it’s about building - building a set of skills that help you face the world with courage, adapt to change, and become mentally stronger.
After my sister was killed in an accident, I made it my mission to learn how to do this - how to become more resilient in a way that is both practical and impactful.
And now I've written this book to help you do the same.Grab your copy here!
It's also available as an audiobook - narrated by yours truly! So if you prefer listening to audiobooks narrated by the author themselves, make sure you check it out on Audible or your favorite audiobook outlet!
Listen to the book on Audible.

Thank you to everyone who's supported me along my journey & helped me get to where I am today, I am so thankful for you!

You've likely heard that confidence comes from thinking positive thoughts about yourself - which can help give us confidence sometimes, although other times it can backfire because those thoughts might not feel believable or we get us so focused on ourselves that we get in our own way and stops us from taking action on our goals. So in this episode I teach you the most powerful shift in mindset I've made to help me build my confidence that isn't thinking more of myself - but actually less. I know that sounds counterintuitive, so tune into the episode to find out why this is true & how to put it into practice in your life. 🙌

In this episode I want to share with you a story I heard about two runners that really had a big impact on me. It's one of those stories that makes you think deeply about what it means to truly be a winner. Is it getting first place against your competitor or being the one who gets promoted? Or is it something more? The answer to this is a personal choice, but when I heard this story about this runner I knew that to me the choice he made is the one I always want to - integrity first. Always.

Do you sometimes feel like you're living at the effect of the next email in your inbox or notification from your phone?

Do you have a spare $82,000 lying around to pay for the medical bills of sand fly bites on a tropical island? Yeah, me neither. Yet that's the exact cost a traveler had to pay during their trip overseas. While the chances of the unthinkable happening while you're holidaying overseas are slim, it can happen. Unfortunately my family learned the hard way, after my sister was killed in a motorbike accident in Thailand. It shattered us, but there was one thing that helped us out most during those heartbreaking days of bringing Nicole back home - travel insurance.
Tune in to find out why travel insurance is the best financial investment you make towards your next vacation and all the different ways it can help your trip run more smoothly when you face big or small hiccups as you travel overseas. If you can't afford insurance, you can't afford to travel - at all.

Are you promising yourself "yes! I WILL go to the gym tomorrow!" - only to not end up working out at all? It's easy to tell yourself it's because you're not "motivated enough" to do it. But I call BS on that! Instead tune in to hear what I think the real problem is and then learn the solution to consistently working out, even when you're super unmotivated to do so.

Welcome to the first podcast episode of "Okay. Now What?" relaunched for adults! Together we're going to cover a whole range of topics that will help you get 'unstuck' and make the progress you've been dying to make in all areas of life - whether it's in your relationship, self confidence, career, health and body image - this show will have your back!
Throughout the episodes, you'll gain unique perspectives, inspiration and strategies that you can immediately put into practice and better navigate life's suprise detours and 'oh sh*t' moments. I will teach you mindset tools that will finally end your cycle of self sabotage and overcome your insecurities so you don't go to the grave saying "I was going to but I was scared.."
My goal as your host is to take you out of passive mode and stop letting life happen to you. Instead, together we are going to help YOU happen to life and take back control over how any situation impacts you. This means less anxiety, worrying and second guessing yourself, and more deciding, believing and taking action on what matters most to you. Let's do this!
This first episode comes from a question on Instagram that I received:
"I’ve been struggling with feeling like people don’t like my big sparkly personality at work. Now I don’t do it when we have a big external person meeting. But within my team I want to let myself be me. But I don’t think that’s being received very well? But authenticity is important to me so I don’t want to dull my shine. But I feel like I should for the sake of my career?"
The dilemma of wanting to be yourself at work while wanting to make friends and align with the company's culture is one that many people can relate to. In fact, should we even strive to be our authentic selves at work to begin with? Tune in to learn what I believe is a healthy balance to strike and how to better connect with colleagues without feeling like you're faking or pretending to be someone you're not.
In this episode you will find out about:
The importance of authenticity in personal and professional settings. Navigating workplace dynamics and interactions. The concept of personality multiplicity and having different aspects of self. Strategies for expressing authenticity while being adaptable. Practical steps for self-reflection and understanding one's personality. Building rapport and trust with colleagues through consistent interactions. Shifting focus from authenticity to appropriateness in different contexts. Encouragement to embrace change and adapt personality expression while staying true to core values.Want to me to come and speak at your workplace? Visit https://www.theresiliencespeaker.com
