Can AI compress the years long research time of a PhD into seconds? Research scientist Max Jaderberg explores how “AI analogs” simulate real-world lab work with staggering speed and scale, unlocking new insights on protein folding and drug discovery. Drawing on his experience working on Isomorphic Labs' and Google DeepMind's AlphaFold 3 — an AI model for predicting the structure of molecules — Jaderberg explains how this new technology frees up researchers' time and resources to better understand the real, messy world and tackle the next frontiers of science, medicine and more.

1 What Helps Me, What Hurts Me – And Why We Keep Doing the Stuff That Fcks Us Over* (aka Why We Sabotage Ourselves and How Hypnotherapy in Leeds Can Help) 11:48
In this episode, we’re diving into the strange (but very human) habit of self-sabotage — why we do things that hurt us, even when we say we want peace, confidence, rest, or connection. I’ll talk you through some real-life patterns and stories that might sound a little too familiar… and explore how our behaviour can be completely understandable, but still unhelpful. We’ll look at how past fears and beliefs shape our present actions, and I’ll share a powerful coaching exercise called Spot the Loop that can help you uncover the cycle you’re stuck in — and gently start changing it. Plus, I’ll share some simple journaling prompts to help you gain insight and shift your patterns with more compassion and less judgment. This one’s all about awareness, kindness to yourself, and remembering: you’re not broken — you’re just human. And you can change the story. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: Why we sabotage ourselves (and how hypnotherapy in Leeds can help) How our attempts to protect ourselves often create the opposite effect The common loops we get stuck in — and how to spot yours A journaling prompt that brings surprising clarity How to interrupt old patterns without shaming yourself The truth about why change is hard — and why it’s still possible Journaling Prompt from this Episode: What helps me?

I think I have found a new love… hypnotherapy! I was lucky enough to be offered the SFTA training course free through my work as a university student counsellor. I am blown away with the progress my hypnotherapy clients have made (bar one, but she has a family crisis she is dealing with). They all began the sessions rating themselves a 4 or 5 out of 10 on a happiness scale, and now they’re all rating themselves a solid 8, except for the one I mentioned. I think that’s impressive, and I’m so pleased! We were taught Parts Therapy, and on Wednesday, I used the technique for the first time on a student struggling to leave a coercive relationship. The idea behind Parts Therapy is that you work with different parts of a person’s mind, getting them to communicate with each other to resolve inner conflicts. There was no doubt that she was in a trance, and you could see how strong the part in the right hand was. In those short 20 minutes, we made more progress than we had potentially made in all the previous sessions, because it spoke directly to her unconscious mind. I can really see how hypnotherapy helps people change patterns of behaviour they’ve struggled with for years because, let’s face it, most of our thoughts and behaviours are influenced by the subconscious. 3 Simple Steps to Reprogram Your Mind for Positive Change 1. Focus on What You Want, Not What You Don’t Want The mind works best with positive images and clear intentions. Instead of thinking, “I don’t want to feel anxious,” shift your focus to what you do want: “I want to feel calm and confident.” The subconscious mind responds better to positive framing. Try this: Write down one thing you want to change and reframe it positively. For example, instead of “I don’t want to feel stressed at work,” write, “I want to feel relaxed and focused at work.” 2. Use Visualization to Create Your Future The mind doesn’t always distinguish between real experiences and vividly imagined ones. Spend a few minutes every day visualizing yourself living the life you want. Imagine it in detail—how you feel, what you see, and what you hear. This can help train your mind to create the reality you desire. 3. Anchor Positive Feelings in the Body One powerful hypnotherapy technique is to anchor a positive feeling in your body. Think of a time when you felt confident, calm, or happy. Focus on that feeling and imagine it filling your entire body. As you do, gently press your thumb and forefinger together. Repeat this regularly, and you’ll train your mind and body to return to that feeling when you need it.

We all know that feeling when we’re tired, sluggish, and lacking energy. Everybody has low days, but I’ve realised something important: we have far more control over our energy levels and mood than we often tell ourselves. This year, I’ve had just one low day, and that’s not to brag (trust me, I’ve had my fair share of low days in the past). I bring it up because it’s a reflection of how mood follows action and how my actions are significantly shifting my mood and energy levels. Too often, we see low mood as something solely happening in the brain, something we can’t change. But our actions can—and do—have a massive impact on how we feel. Mood follows action. I’ve been reminding my therapy clients of this a lot recently, particularly those who find themselves spending hours in bed scrolling through TikTok (most are Uni students). I wonder… If I asked you to get up and run up and down the stairs for five minutes, would it shift how you feel, even just a bit? I bet you it would. Why not try it now?! For the past few months, I’ve been experimenting with weaving in short 10-minute bursts of yoga, meditation, or movement into my day, and it’s definitely made a difference to my energy levels. As a therapist, I have to sit on my ass for long periods of time, so making the effort to move every hour and a half or two hours is making a huge difference. There’s a caveat to this, of course. If you’re deeply depressed or anxious, it probably feels insulting for me to suggest that just doing 10 minutes of movement here and there throughout the day could make any difference. I hear you, and you’re absolutely right. If anyone had said this to me when I was anxious, I would have wanted to smack them in the face! But here’s what I will say: for most of us—who are not severely anxious or depressed, but have our own struggles and stresses—doing this can help lift your energy. And when your energy is better, you feel more resourceful, and that means you can cope better. For someone who is deeply depressed, I understand this will feel like the absolute last thing you want to do. Every cell in your body will probably resist. But I have to repeat— mood follows action. It’s what therapists call “basic behavioural activation.” The common belief is that you have to feel motivated before you can do the thing. Honestly, that’s complete BS. By doing the thing, you create motivation. You build forward momentum, and that momentum and movement is what shifts your mood. Mood follows action is a simple truth we often forget, but it’s so effective. Journal Prompts What activities make you feel energised and uplifted? How can you incorporate more of them into your day? What small action can you take today to boost your energy or mood, even if you’re feeling low? Write about a time when you felt really energised and full of life. What were you doing, and how can you recreate that experience? WORK WITH ME I am an experienced and fully qualified counsellor, psychotherapist and coach based in the UK.

This week, I’ve been reflecting on what it really means to live a life that is a true expression of who we are. It’s funny, but sometimes we’re so caught up chasing goals or dreams that were never really ours to begin with. Maybe, like me, you’ve had moments where you realise that the version of success you’ve been striving for doesn’t quite fit your values, strengths, or what’s truly important to you. I’ve been asking myself: is building an online business really the best path for someone like me who loves being around people and values real human connection? Have I been trying to shape my life around an idea of success that’s been influenced by societal norms and expectations – not what I truly need? When I first got into the world of self-help and personal development in the early 2000s, it was full of books by people who said you had to want millions to be successful. There was so much emphasis on making money, reaching lofty goals, and becoming rich and successful beyond belief. But let’s be honest – that isn’t what everyone truly wants. Success is personal. My idea of success is living in a semi-rural stone property, with long distance views and waking up to fresh eggs everyday from my chickens. It's about having the time and space to enjoy my life and be able to go for walks, journal and do yoga. I am not hustling my ass off, I work 20 hours a week, running self-development workshops and therapy/coaching sessions. It’s easy to get caught up in expectations that leave us feeling unfulfilled when we don’t meet them. Tony Robbins once said something about how our level of happiness is tied to our expectations. If those expectations are too high, we can end up feeling constantly discontent. Here I am in 2025, and I haven’t built a six- or seven-figure business or had a best selling book, or created a huge on-line platform. But when I get really honest with myself – did I really want that? Or did I think I had to want it because of what I’d been told and had been telling myself? Sometimes, the gold we seek is already in our own backyard. Perhaps the things we’re searching for have been right in front of us all along. I’m a university counsellor, and I love my job. I’m also training to be a solution-focused hypnotherapist, and that feels like such a good fit for me. What if I stopped trying to chase after something shiny and new and just focused on what I already do well – and made that my focus? I think this is a lesson that could apply to you too. It’s so easy to get swept away by societal pressures or other people’s definitions of success. But what if you took a moment to step back and ask yourself: What does success really look like for me? What am I doing already that is enough? So, here’s something I’d like you to reflect on this week. Think about the ways in which you might be chasing after something that isn’t truly aligned with who you are or what you really want. Here are three journal prompts to get you thinking: What does success look like for me, based on my own values and strengths? In what ways have I been influenced by societal expectations or old stories about what I “should” want? What am I already doing that brings me fulfillment, and how can I focus more on that? Coaching Tool: Shifting Expectations Take some time this week to examine your expectations. If you feel discontent or like you’re falling short, ask yourself – are my expectations realistic and aligned with who I truly am and what I need? Write down any expectations you feel are weighing on you and then cross out the ones that don’t serve you. Instead, replace them with more grounded, authentic expectations that reflect your real desires and values.

What’s the Payoff for Staying Stuck? The Real Reason You’re Resisting Change (and What to Do About It) In this episode I talk about the payoff for being stuck. On the surface it sounds silly to think that there could be any reason we would want to stay stuck....but when you dig a bit deeper, there will be a reason you are resisting change. There was a time when I found myself struggling to take the steps needed to make my dreams happen. I kept circling back to the same stuck place—never really pushing forward, even though I knew what I wanted deep down. On an unconscious level, I realized it wasn’t a fear of failure holding me back. It was the fear of success. Success felt heavy, like it would demand too much of me. What if it came with responsibilities I couldn’t manage? What if I felt trapped, overwhelmed, or even suffocated by it? Sound familiar? It’s easier to stay where we are, isn’t it? Even when it makes us miserable. There’s a comfort in not moving, in remaining within the familiar, because change, even the good kind, is hard. We’re creatures of habit, and staying within our comfort zones keeps us feeling safe, protected. But what if that safety is exactly what’s keeping us from growing? At some level, staying stuck serves us. There’s always a payoff for not taking action, whether we realize it or not. Here are some possible reasons you might be holding back: Avoiding the unknown : “Better the devil you know than the devil you don’t.” The familiarity of where you are, even if it’s not where you want to be, feels safer than stepping into uncharted territory. Fear of change : Change is uncomfortable. It’s challenging. It demands something from us—energy, effort, vulnerability. Even when we know it’s good for us, we resist it. Fear of success : Success might come with its own set of challenges—responsibility, expectations, or the fear of losing freedom. What if it’s too much to handle? What if it changes everything and leaves us feeling overwhelmed? Comfort in habits : We’ve evolved to seek safety and protection. Our routines, however limiting they might be, provide us with comfort. Change disrupts that security. Hi there, I’m Kay, a Therapist and Coach , author and podcaster.

Hey everyone! So, I’m actually sitting in my car right now, waiting for my son to finish football training. It’s half-term, so I thought I’d take this time to chat with you and share something I’m really excited about. I’m launching Make It Happen Monthly ! This is a chance for us to get clear on what we want to create, do, and experience in the coming month. It’s the end of February, and I know how it is—those New Year’s intentions? Yeah, they can easily slip away. But don’t worry, that’s exactly what Make It Happen Monthly is here for. It’s a free workshop happening on the last Sunday of every month, and the goal is simple: help you gain clarity on what you need to focus on and turn those ideas into reality for the rest of the year. In the workshop, we’ll cover some really powerful questions. I’ll walk you a taster of what to expect. What’s been good? This question is about reflecting on the positive. We’re often so focused on what’s next, we forget to acknowledge what’s gone well so far. So, we’ll take a moment to look back and see where we’ve made progress—because that momentum matters. Scaling questions —This is where I’ll ask you to rate how close you are to making your plans and dreams happen on a scale from 0 to 10. The idea here is to reflect on where you are right now, and then think about what it would take to move just one step closer to where you want to be. Small steps, big impact. The Miracle Question — I get you to imagine what you would be doing differently if you moved 1 up the scale, for instance, I am a 7, so I talk about what I need to be doing to move from a 7 to an 8. This helps you get really clear on what you’re aiming for, so you can start working toward it. Make it Happen - Why now, you ask? Well, we’re at that point in the year where those New Year’s intentions can feel distant or maybe even forgotten. Make It Happen Monthly is all about checking in with yourself, making sure you’re still aligned with what you really want, and giving yourself the space to make it happen. So, join me! Make It Happen Monthly is completely free, and it’s happening on the last Sunday of every month 7pm on Zoom. You’ll get the chance to connect with other women, reflect on your progress, and set some clear intentions for the month ahead. To save your space head to my website, kayholdsworth.com…
How to Make Yourself Proud in 2025 In this episode, I reflect on what it truly means to make yourself proud in 2025. We all set goals and make plans, but how many of us actually follow through? This episode explores the importance of commitment, the power of taking action, and how you can honour your goals and make yourself proud by the end of the year. I was going to share practical tips, journaling prompts, and my favourite quote on commitment but forgot. I have shared it below. Key Points Covered: Reflecting on the Year Ahead: What does making yourself proud in 2025 look like? I talk about the importance of setting clear intentions and following through on what you say you’re going to do. Imagine the sense of pride and fulfilment you’ll feel at the end of the year, knowing you’ve honoured your commitments. The Power of Commitment: I share one of my favourite quotes by William Hutchison Murray on the magic of commitment: “Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness... Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it!” Tips for Staying Committed and Making Progress: I provide practical tips to help you follow through on your goals, including: Getting clear on your “why.” Breaking big goals into smaller steps. Embracing discomfort and pushing through resistance. Celebrating small wins to build momentum. Visualising your success. Journaling Prompts to Get You Started: I offer a journaling exercise designed to help you reflect on your goals and take action: What would make you proud in 12 months’ time?

Welcome to this week's episode! Today, we're diving deep into something I know all too well—feeling stuck. If you’ve ever found yourself spinning in circles, with dreams and ideas that never seem to go anywhere, then this episode is for you. I’ve been there too, for more years than I care to admit, but trust me when I say, you can break free. Let’s talk about how. Segment 1: My Story of Stucksville (3-5 mins) I start by sharing my own experience of being stuck—how I felt like I was living in "Stucksville" for at least 15 years. I had all these dreams and plans but couldn't figure out how to make them happen. It felt like I was just going around in circles, and the frustration was real. I want to let you know that if you’re feeling the same, you're not alone. Segment 2: Recognize the Root Cause of Feeling Stuck (5 mins) We often feel stuck because something deeper is going on—fear, overwhelm, or maybe just too much on our plate. Take a moment to ask yourself, “What’s really holding me back?” It could be fear of failure, a lack of clarity, or even that dreaded feeling of being completely overwhelmed by your to-do list. Journal Prompt: “What is one specific area in my life where I feel stuck? What thoughts or emotions are contributing to this feeling?” Segment 3: Shift from Overthinking to Action (5 mins) Overthinking is the enemy of action! Trust me, I’ve been caught in this trap too many times. The key is to stop analysing every possible outcome and start with just one small step. Action Step: Choose one small thing you can do today. It doesn’t have to be huge—maybe just a 5-minute task—but it will create momentum. Journal Prompt: “What is one small step I can take today to make progress in an area where I feel stuck?” Segment 4: Challenge Your Limiting Beliefs (5 mins) Let’s talk about those sneaky limiting beliefs. You know, the ones that whisper, “I’m not good enough,” or “I’ll never be able to do this.” They’re powerful, but they’re also lies. Challenge them! Journal Prompt: “What are the beliefs I hold about myself that are keeping me stuck? How can I reframe these beliefs into something empowering?” Segment 5: Embrace Imperfect Action Perfectionism is a dream killer. The truth is, things will never be perfect, and that’s okay. Journal Prompt: “What is one thing I’ve been putting off because it doesn’t feel perfect? How can I take a step towards it, even if it’s not perfect?” Segment 6: Reconnect with Your “Why” Why did you start this journey in the first place? Whether it’s a personal or professional goal, reconnecting with your deeper “why” can reignite that fire within you. Journal Prompt: “Why is achieving this goal important to me? How will my life change once I break free from being stuck?” Segment 7: Set Boundaries and Eliminate Distractions (3 mins) Sometimes, we feel stuck because we’re too busy doing things that don’t actually matter to us. Journal Prompt: “What distractions are keeping me from making progress? What boundaries can I set to protect my time and energy?” Segment 8: Celebrate Small Wins (2 mins) It’s so easy to overlook the small wins when we’re focused on the bigger picture. But every step forward, no matter how small, is worth celebrating. Journal Prompt: “What small win can I celebrate today? How does acknowledging this win make me feel more empowered to keep going?” Segment 9: Visualization Journal Prompt: “What does my future self look like after I’ve broken free from feeling stuck? Getting unstuck doesn’t happen overnight, but taking these small, intentional steps will create momentum. If I can do it after 15 years in Stucksville, so can you. Remember, it's all about progress, not perfection. Keep going—you’ve got this!

I’m training to be a Solution-Focused Hypnotherapist. I already work part-time as a student counsellor at Leeds Trinity University, and I was offered this course through work, so I couldn’t say no! One of the things we do in every session is start by asking the client: “What’s been good?” —even if they’ve had a terrible week. At first, I was resistant to asking this, especially when someone is struggling and feels like their whole life is falling apart. But I began using it in my counselling sessions at the university, and it worked wonders. Some of my students even started writing lists of what had been good, ready to share in our sessions. So, I decided to try it for myself. For the past two weeks, I’ve been asking myself, “What’s been good?” and it’s honestly made a huge difference. I’m noticing the good things more, recognising what’s going well, and feeling more in control. After I do the exercise, other good things pop into my head throughout the day. It’s like I’m retraining my brain to look for the positives. In this episode, I’ll explain how this technique works and why it’s so effective. It’s a quick and easy practice that anyone can do. It only takes a few minutes, so why not give it a go for a week or two and see how it benefits you? I’d love to hear how you get on!

Are you stuck in a cycle of overthinking, unable to make decisions, and feeling frustrated because you're not moving forward? You’re not alone. In this video, I’m going to share 7 powerful ways to break free from indecision and start making confident choices. I know exactly how this feels because, as a therapist and coach, I’ve faced the same challenge in my own life. For me, it’s all about choosing a single path and fully committing to it. I used to (and still; do) get caught up in my head, stuck between two options, wondering: “Should I do this or that?” I’ve experienced how this kind of indecision takes up so much mental energy and leaves you feeling stuck. In this video, I’ll share my personal story of how overthinking impacted my business decisions—whether I should focus on becoming a counsellor or a coach, sell a course or a membership—and how this mental tug-of-war kept me frustrated, stuck and stagnant for way too long. If we're not careful, indecision can tie us in knots. But there’s a way out! We’ll dive into how you can reframe your decision-making process, shift your attention, and challenge the limiting beliefs that keep you stuck. Here are the 7 strategies I’ll cover: Shift from “Right vs. Wrong” to Experimentation – Learn how to see decisions as opportunities for growth rather than fear of failure. Focus on What You Can Control – Let go of what’s out of your control and focus on the actions you can take right now. Identify the Fears Holding You Back – Discover how underlying fears might be keeping you stuck and how to move past them. Take Action, Any Action – Get out of your head and into action with small, manageable steps that build momentum. Use Mindfulness to Stay Grounded – Learn how to stop future-focused fears from taking over by staying present in the moment. Limit Your Decision Time – Reduce the mental space indecision takes up by creating time limits around your choices. Let Go of Perfectionism – Embrace imperfect decisions and trust that you’ll still end up where you need to be. Watch the video to learn how you can stop overthinking, start taking action, and make decisions that will move you forward in life and business!

Ever feel like life’s just become a little too predictable? Like you're stuck in a rut, and everything feels a bit meh? We all know that feeling when life starts to feel like a never-ending loop, much like the movie Groundhog Day—same old, same old. But what if there was a way to break free from your daily routine and add excitement to your life? Stuck in a rut? I share 12 simple ways to shake up your life! In this video, we’re going to dive deep into how you can shake things up and start living with more fun, adventure, and spontaneity. If you’ve been feeling bored, disconnected, or stuck, this video is for you! You’ll get 12 creative ways to step outside your comfort zone and start experiencing life in a new way. Why Shake Things Up? Been stuck in a rut is no fun! You may have noticed that as we get older, time seems to fly by faster. Why? Because we experience fewer "firsts"—new experiences, moments of excitement, and adventures. Think back to your teens and twenties: life was filled with novelty. Remember the thrill of doing something for the very first time, like shopping solo for the first time or traveling to a new city? Fast forward to now, and it might feel like your life is stuck in a routine, and every day feels just like the last. When we stop experiencing "firsts," life can start to feel smaller. That’s why shaking things up is so important. When we get too comfortable and settle into predictable routines, we stop feeling the same sense of aliveness. It’s time to add some adventure back into your life—even if it’s just by doing something small and different! Stuck in a rut? 12 simple Ways to Shake Things Up: Take a Different Route – Change your daily commute or walking route. A small change can bring fresh energy into your routine. Try a New Hobby – Always wanted to learn an instrument, try painting, or get into gardening? Now’s your chance! Travel Somewhere New – It doesn’t have to be far. Explore a nearby town or a new park in your area. Join a Class – Try something you’ve never done before, whether it’s cooking, dancing, pottery, or anything else that excites you! Meet New People – Join a club or attend social events where you can connect with others who share your interests. Change Your Environment – Rearrange your furniture, redecorate a room, or create a new space in your home. Learn Something New – Take an online course or pick up a new skill that excites you. Do Something Spontaneous – Sometimes, all you need is a spontaneous adventure. Hop in the car with no destination in mind. Volunteer – Helping others gives you a new perspective and a sense of fulfilment. Challenge Yourself – Set a new goal that scares you a little and work toward it. You’ll be surprised at how rewarding it can be! Attend Events – Go to a concert, a local festival, or a community event to break out of the ordinary. Disconnect to Reconnect – Take a break from technology and spend the day outside, recharging your energy with nature or loved ones.

In this episode I share how I got unstuck. I am smiling as I record this, and not just because the sun has finally decided to show its face! I am genuinely excited because, at last, I no longer feel stuck, frustrated, and blighted by indecision. For years I struggled to transform my ideas and dreams into reality. I would spend copious amounts of time planning and scribbling down my plans in journals but it was always such a struggle to implement and execute them. I would spend way too much time in my head, second-guessing myself and allowing self-doubt to sabotage my efforts. STUCKSVILLE Let’s face it, we will all experience some form of stuckness at certain times in our lives. Your reason for why you may feel stuck will be different to mine, but the feeling is very much the same. It doesn’t feel good, does it? Here are just some of the feelings that you might be experiencing if you are currently stuck. Overwhelmed Paralyzed Frustrated Helpless Confused Discouraged Restless Trapped Resentful Indecisive Hopeless Boy, just writing all those down feels heavy! I thought I would share in this episode what has worked for me over the past couple of years, and helped me finally unstick myself. Having some coaching when we are feeling stuck can be a real game changer. Just having another person to shine a light onto our issue, and see if from another perspective can be so powerful. During the summer I am offering a complimentary coaching session, no strings attached. This is a 45 minute coaching session with me that will help you gain clarity and guide you towards getting unstuck. Follow this link to book a session with me.

OMG, we are nearly halfway through the year. How the blumers did that happen! Blink and it will be Christmas. In today’s episode, I’m sharing my new journaling practice with you. If you've never tried journaling, it can feel daunting, and you might wonder where to start. Don’t worry; I’ve got you covered. I’ve been journaling since I was about 12, although I used to call it keeping a diary back in the day. I really should dig out some of my old diaries and share a little of what I wrote. I dare say it will be seriously cringe-worthy. But that’s the beauty of keeping a journal—it’s for your eyes only. You can write whatever you like. When I write, I don’t give a damn about spelling, grammar, or punctuation, and sometimes it’s hard to read it back because my handwriting is so scruffy. I go through ebbs and flows with journaling. For years, I religiously wrote Morning Pages (check out Julia Cameron's book *The Artist’s Way* to find out more). Recently, my journaling practice had started to dry up a bit, and that’s a bit rubbish when you’ve started delivering journaling workshops! It was a struggle to fit journaling in, what with yoga, a dog to walk, and a nine-year-old to get to school. Then I had a brainwave. What if I put my journal under my bed and let it be the first thing I do as soon as I open my eyes? This is the time when Zen (my son) and Luck (my dog) are still asleep, so it seems a perfect time, and it doesn’t involve me getting out of bed and waking anyone up. So far, (yes, it is only day 4) it’s working a treat, and I seem to have got my journaling mojo back. Whoop whoop! I’ve also introduced a new structure to my journaling sessions that surprisingly seems to have created more insight and personal reflection. Here’s the format I’m using: - What energized or excited you yesterday? - What depleted or drained you yesterday? - What did you learn yesterday? I was a bit doubtful that this would work for me because, let’s face it, some days nothing much exciting happens. But actually, what I found was it helped me connect with those small moments in the day that were pleasurable and enjoyable. These questions got me thinking about the moments in the day where my mood lifted. The writing has ended up taking me off in directions that I would not normally write about, like past memories. The truth is, though, you do not need to follow any format to journal. It is totally up to you what you write about. You can free-write on anything and everything—your thoughts, feelings, ideas, plans, to-do lists, a gratitude list, dreams, goals, or reflections on your day. I would love it if you could take the time to give the podcast a review. You can email me at Kay@kayholdsworth.com Home | Kay Holdsworth : Create Yourself…

I had the pleasure to talk to Carolyn Boddington who is a marketing consultant and strategist who champions female-led entrepreneurs and businesses. In this episode Carolyn talks about the potential power and freedom women can gain from creating an on-line business. With the help of tech we can serve clients all over the world, work anywhere and create a flexible business that fits around our families. I loved hearing about how Carolyn decided to learn to ride a horse at age 42, even though it was totally out of her comfort zone. Yes, there was fear, especially in the early days when she rode her horse but she continued to do it anyway. Cantering and Galloping alone through the countryside sounds so liberating and freeing. It just shows that we can all learn a new skill at any age, the only thing that stops us is the limits we place on ourselves. This is a common issue that we women often face, and we dig into this during our conversation. We reflect on how women often struggle with self-doubt and hold themselves back, even though the truth is they are more than capable. Carolyn offers some wonderful words of wisdom, encouraging women to listen to their intuition, as 99% of the time it will be right. She talks about how if we have an idea, that has come to us, like a business idea, it has come to us for a reason. We need to learn to trust ourselves more. The message of this podcast is that when women trust in themselves and go for it they can achieve so much more than they thought possible. I hope you enjoy listening to this podcast and if you need to get in touch with Carolyn you can find her at the links below. I have personally worked with Carolyn, The story marketing session I did at the beginning of the year was so useful. It helped me to gain deeper clarity on my business message and who I serve. I can certainly recommend it.

Hello everyone and welcome back to Create Yourself – A Life You Love! In today’s episode, I am thrilled to share with you my top three favorite podcasts. These are the shows that fill my days with inspiration, motivation, and wisdom. Whether I'm in the car, washing up, or walking Lucky, these podcasts are my constant companions. I can't wait to dive in and tell you why they mean so much to me. From the Heart with Rachel Bretham Released every Friday, Rachel Bretham, formerly known as Yoga Girl, is a beacon of inspiration in my life. I've been listening to her for about five years now, and she never fails to uplift my spirits. Rachel's podcast feels like a heart-to-heart with a best friend. Her genuine, real, and wise persona, coupled with her tumultuous life experiences, make her a truly remarkable figure. If you're into wellbeing, spirituality, parenting, self-care, nature, and yoga, this podcast is a treasure trove. Rachel's ability to connect on such a deep level makes me wish I could meet her in person one day. Mel Robbins Podcast Mel Robbins brings a double dose of motivation every Monday and Thursday. As an American writer and personal-development coach, Mel's dynamic energy and practical advice have made her a household name. Her podcast episodes are meticulously researched, offering a blend of motivational insights and actionable tools. Despite her immense popularity, Mel remains down-to-earth and relatable. If you need a burst of motivation and a reminder of your own potential, Mel Robbins is your go-to gal. Go Mel! There is Another Way with Selina Barker This is a relatively new podcast, but I am confident it’s one to watch. I met Selina Barker back in 2008 when I was starting out as a life coach, and she has always stood out to me. Selina, a life and career coach, challenges the hustle culture and societal norms of success. She believes, like I do, that rest is productive. In her podcast, Selina interviews inspiring individuals who defy the status quo and create meaningful work on their own terms. "There is Another Way" is a powerful reminder that success doesn't have to look the same for everyone. A Special Mention – My Own Podcast: Create Yourself – A Life You Love While we’re talking about amazing podcasts, I can't resist giving my own podcast a little plug! Have you listened to it yet? Create Yourself – A Life You Love is available on Spotify and Apple, and it's all about self-discovery, transformation, and creating a life that reflects who you truly are. My top three episodes are: It’s Okay to Not Feel Great A Woman on a Mission to Spread Kindness in the Workplace A Creative Activity – A Letter from Your Future Self Each episode is packed with practical activities and interviews with inspirational women who are paving their own paths. If you're seeking a blend of personal growth and heartfelt stories, I would love for you to join me on this journey.

I'm so excited about this podcast. Today I have the pleasure of having Becs Crosby join me. She is a real inspiration, having left her corporate job and city life to follow her dreams. Like many of us she had the idea of setting up her own business for over a decade but had pushed it aside… that was until December 2019 when her world fell apart. Three months before the pandemic sent us all into lockdown Becs sadly lost her younger sister to cancer aged just 39. With her sister’s advice of ‘don’t sweat the small stuff’ ringing in her ears, Becs dared to follow her heart and make her dream a reality. She is a woman on a mission to spread kindness and create inclusive workplaces, where leaders are trusted and employees feel motivated to be productive and make their voices heard. She runs team workshops and offers 1:1 coaching and consultancy for people managers and senior leaders who want to overcome their imposter syndrome to achieve results while gaining the respect and trust of their team. She talks about the many benefits of practicing kindness, at home and at work where acting kindly has been shown to be associated with increased effort, productivity and persistence, higher engagement, reduced burnout, and higher levels of initiative taking, creativity, and helping behaviours.

I share 5 key questions you need to ask yourself, to check that your dream is worth your time & energy. These are taken from Mary Morrissey who runs a program called Dream Builder. Instead we often ask, am I worthy of the dream. This is the wrong question! If you have a dream then I believe you are capable of making it happen but will it fully selling with what’s important & matters to you? Will it excite & light you up?
