In a slightly different direction from my season 2 format (although still in the same subject area), I wanted to pop on and create an episode for you all seeing as we are now on lockdown. It's an episode that we will all look back on after our lives have changed in so many different ways. It's an unprecedented time, we haven't experienced anything …

As ever I start with a little catch-up... In my second episode in this series on mental health, I delve into the social media world to find out what steps we can take to stop spiraling into depression and the anxiety comparison trap.

In this episode I delve a little deeper! Send me your thoughts! Send me a voicemail on the Anchor app or message me on Facebook here or Instagram @mrsbridgeth…

Self-esteem is one of my FAVOURITE topics. Pretty much everyone I coach comes to me with a specific goal and behind that lack of perceived ability to reach for it is low self-esteem. In this episode I share: Some interesting research into self-esteem. How a lack of self-esteem manifests in everyday life. What higher self-esteem could mean for you -…

One of my burning topics right now. I get so many clients coming to me with shame. A shame that they don't feel like they are 'winning at life' and guilt because in spite of having read books, gone on courses, they still haven't got to where they want to be. In this episode: What trying to lie to ourselves does. What happens when we move away from …

One topic I am really passionate about is living a life of no regrets. I am not talking about making mistakes as we all make mistakes and learn and grow from them. I am talking about REALLY wanting to do something and not doing it, not taking action and regretting it. We set so many expectations for ourselves by using age as a milestone for achieve…

Are you a people-pleaser? I used to really battle with this and still do a little but I am 90% better than I was.

I outline the different people-pleasing signs and some of you mi…

Motivation is so fleeting, as is inspiration. I know so many people who read self-help books or go to big seminars and say "I feel so inspired and motivated", and yet they don't take any action. Then they get into a spiral of needing that new high from a book or course and so it repeats. I believe that we get motivated after we take action on somet…
