The Aligned Ambition Podcast

Do you find yourself saying "I've got to do this and then I've got to do that..." throughout the day?

Whether that's with your business or just life in general. We can spend so long thinking about what we've got to do and this can be both overwhelming and disempowering.

So on today's episode, I am giving you the easiest win EVER. This simple reframe takes seconds to adopt but can make a massive impact on your day. 

Enjoy!

Highlights:

{1:33} - Do you spend your day trying to get through your to do's so you can do what you want to do?

{3:20} - How to take back your power

{3:51} - Is life happening to you?

Are you playing small to keep others big? Do you feel that you're not allowed to shine too bright in case it affects others?

This can be so crippling as it means that we don't step into who we truly are and can mean that we never reach the success that we want.

So in today's show, I'm breaking this down, explaining where it may have come from and talking about how you hold the power to change it all!

Highlights:

{1:14} - Why it's all really an illusion

{4:43} - What's making you turn down your brightness

{6:19} - Giving others permission to do the same

Let's be honest...does social media make you anxious?

Maybe it's the feeling that you have to post every day or the algorithm police will be after you.

Or is it that you post and all you hear is crickets rather than the bing of another heart-shaped acknowledgment of acceptance.

There are so many things about social media that can make us anxious and in today's episode, I'm going to be breaking them down and giving you tips on how to deal with them.

Because let's face it. Social media is meant to be social, not anxiety-inducing, right?

Highlights:

{1:42} Are you equating social media likes to your personal likability? 

{2:44} Why are you posting that post? Who is the post for?

{3:43} Social media comparisonitis? It's a real (not reel) thing!

{6:44} Why attaching our self-worth to the performance of a post is not the healthiest way to go!

{7:59} Why the algorithm police are not coming for you...

We're all guilty of it, right?

We just need one more course. Just one more...even if we have 5 that we still haven't started! Course hoarding is a real thing, people!

Because although it's not the best thing for business, it is an important point!

It's finally here!!! Spring has arrived and I have to admit that I'm doing laps of the garden.

I love spring so much. I love the buds starting to open. The birds rushing around outside my office getting their nests ready.

And I love the promise of the warm summer nights to come. 

It's a great time to have a spring clean (thus the name!) and not just at home but also in your business. Pruning your business and clearing out what you no longer need gives space for stronger shoots to grow.

So have a listen to today's show where I'm sharing my top tips to giving your biz a spring clean. Enjoy!

Highlights:

{1:52} What does cleaning your biz actually entail?

{2:17} How it could actually save you money

{3:45} We only have limited amounts of energy, so let's use it wisely

{4:05} Why it's a good idea to spring clean our beliefs

{6:35} The top 5 areas to focus on first

Imagine you're at a party (do you remember what they used to be like???) and somebody asks you the dreaded question...

"So, what do you do then?"

Are you ready to give them your perfected elevator pitch or do you choke on your martini and find the quickest way to exit?

Getting confident at telling others about your business is a skill in itself! And given our limited interaction with the outside world at the moment, you might be wondering how on earth you'll get the practice in.

So listen in to today's show where I'll be taking you through some helpful tips to get you shouting about your business from the rooftops!

Highlights:

{0:27} My first attempt and how it fell flat on its face

{2:01} How Imposter Syndrome raises its head 

{5:12} Getting comfortable with telling people what you do

{6:53} The three key parts to include

Money, money, money. How's your relationship with the stuff?

Good, bad, ambivalent? We all carry stories about money and what it means to have it, want it, not have it, what rich people are like, poor people, if you get more what it will mean for you, what if you lose it? The list goes on.

Understanding and clearing these stories is what will help to increase your bank balance more than any strategy I can share with you.

Because you can have the best strategies in the world but if you show up in your business carrying a suitcase of disempowering money stories, none of the strategies will work.

Highlights:

{1:55} How this is the secret saboteur

{3:38} Do you have to be a bad person to be rich?

{6:52} If you spend everything that comes into your bank, this parts for you

{8:57} Your money language and why it's important

{10:47} How could your life be different if you cleared this all up?

Yes, you read that right. No, I've not gone mad. Hear me out.

If we know that we are always trying to keep ourselves safe because, well that's how humans have made it this far, it makes sense that staying stuck when we know we want something is more to do with trying to keep ourselves safe than being lazy or "not good enough".

So if you've ever wondered "Why can't I just do the goddamn thing?!?!?", then come and have a listen to this episode!

Highlights:

{1:12} Why is it so hard to do the things we know we want to?

{2:04} The gain you get from staying stuck

{4:06} Where are you saying you want something but not taking action?

{5:39} Where are you not achieving what you want to achieve?

{6:03} New group announcement!

But your offer's live and all you hear is the noise of... well, crickets.

It's time for a rethink. So in today's episode, I'm talking about how to attract clients to you without needing to beg or hold onto their ankles until they hand over their credit card!

So what's stopping you from going after your dream? Time, money, ideas? I bet underneath that there are a few fears lurking too, right?

In today's episode I'm going to be talking to you about how to identify what our true fears are that keep us stuck and how to keep our bodies and minds in the best state to be able to keep on top of our fears and go after our dreams with a wild abandonment.

And there's also an offer on my Overcome The Fear Of Starting Your Fear mini course which instead of £147 is down to £37 in celebration of this episode.

I absolutely loved interviewing Beaudy and I hope you love listening just as much!

{14:55} If you think you don’t have the time, this bit’s for you!

In this episode I'm sharing with you just one of my many crazy-can't-explain-scientifically manifestations which I've encountered in my life.

Seriously, I've seen it happen way too many times to have to believe in it even though the scientist in me is still looking for formulas to back it up!

I also share my top 7 tips to manifesting anything you want (including busting the biggest myth when it comes to manifesting!)

So if you're curious about manifesting, never heard of it before or think it's a load of codswallop, then come and have a listen and let me know your (kind) thoughts over HERE!

Highlights:

{1:29} What is manifesting?

In today's episode I'm talking all about your upper limit and what that actually is. 

This is what Gay Hendricks talks about in his amazing book The Big Leap, which I can highly recommend and in it he explains that we all have a level that we are comfortable to and then when we exceed that limit, we start to self sabotage until we're back in our comfort zone. Just genius!

So if you find yourself getting so far along with your goals and then suddenly finding yourself back at square one, this one is for you...

{1:39} Are you stuck at an income level?

{2:32} How your relationship with your parents and their income level can effect yours

{4:32} The craziest decision I have ever made and how it smashed my upper limit

Realising that you are fully in control of your life and your future can be both hard to swallow and incredibly empowering. If our reality doesn't look like we want it to, it can be very hard to acknowledge that we are where we are due to all the decisions we have made in our lives.

And I'm not saying this to be unkind. I'm saying it because when we truly believe this and own this belief, we take back control of our lives. Of course horrible things happen. Terrible things happen each and every day.

But we have the choice to relive these events over and over in our heads or to choose to do something about them. We are not victims to our minds. We are in control of them.

This means that if you aren't currently living the life that you want, you have the power to change that. You hold the keys to unlocking the future that you truly want. And I think that is the most exciting and empowering thing in the world.

The Highlights:

{1:42} Your current reality is what it is because of every decision you have ever made

It's great to have big goals and dreams and really want to go after the life and business you desire.

But if deep down you don't truly believe you that you can achieve it, then you have no chance of actually reaching your full potential.

Building your Belief muscle and cutting out all the BS that keeps you stuck is the key to making sure that you are in alignment and that's when the good stuff happens.

So join me as I take you through why you really need to know this if you want to succeed and how to work through the BS to get to the wanted destination.

Highlights:

{1:55} If you're a coach or a therapist, this will be limiting your clients results too
