Welcome to episode 68. We’ve put in a lot of work exploring our relationship with ourselves this series, so it seems fitting to end on this episode. Let’s reflect on how far we’ve come and the amazing work we have done.

Today I am talking about how we can nurture ourselves by celebrating the big life stuff, but more importantly the small wins in life. How often do you celebrate yourself for those achievements? Our conditioning means it’s probably not nearly enough. Learning to give ourselves a pat on the back will lead to a better relationship with ourselves and as result a happier life, but it’s not always easy. Listen in to find out more.

In this episode:

• Reflecting on series three and our new perspective on the relationship we have with ourselves.
• Why our brains want us to fail – it’s up to us to switch the narrative.
• How resentment can be the by-product of neglecting our need for self-celebration.
• Meaningful ways of celebrate ourselves, without breaking the bank.

Welcome to episode 65. In this episode we dive into the often controversial topic of money. Does your mindset around money clash with or compliment those who are closest to you? Balanced finances are key to making sure the needs of you (and your family, if you have one) are met, so let’s take a closer look at how we can distribute the household contributions fairly and budget for joy, so everyone has the opportunity to live a happier and more fulfilled life.

In this episode:

·     Your financial and non-financial input - money is just one contribution to a home filled with love. 

·      Investing in happiness - is it selfish to spend money on ourselves or is it an essential part of self-care?

·     Untangling our beliefs about money – do they serve you well or do they cause you stress and anxiety?

Mentioned in this episode, money mindset coach Holly Dannhauser.
