Podcast. Elite sport for kids; Pros and Cons. My Synchronised Swimming experience. Special Guest Sally Johnstone.
Sally is one of those lovely humble people. So when by chance I happened to discover that in her past life she was an elite Synchonised Swimmer I was intrigued and had to ask her along to do a podcast. I am so glad that I did. Because her story opened up to an intriguing can of worms with regard to the pros and cons of children being involved in elite sport. I appreciate this opportunity to enter into this unique world. It is one that we don't get to hear about very much. As a mother now, Sally shares even more indepth reflections.
I hope you enjoy! I certainly did. Thanks so much Sally.
Just as the title of episode 44 suggests, there is something better than having lots of money, owning a Mercedes Benz, and even living in a mansion. You can’t drink it, eat it or see it, but it is definitely priceless. Click to listen and discover what it is.

Podcast: Have you felt the hurt of Critical Humour?
Critical Humour is a sly fox. Have you ever had anyone say something that is truly hurtful, yet they say 'I'm only joking!', or 'can't you take a joke.'
How do you navigate this? What is going wrong? Do you have the right to feel hurt even though they are supposedly only joking?
Let's talk about this tricky topic. Let's iron it out, expose it, once and for all!
In our latest podcast episode, we engaged in a reflective conversation about our personal experiences with sexual education, drawing comparisons between our own experiences with sexual education and the current landscape of sexual education. This exploration allowed us to highlight the evolving nature of sexual education and underscore its crucial importance in fostering a healthy and informed approach to relationships and well-being.

Hey Babe 👋🏻 I know I promised that I would keep this podcast short, but this is good one!
In 2024, the focus is on letting go of things that no longer benefit us, rather than adding to the never-ending list of tasks we already have. Personally, as I entered the new year, I felt a surge of vitality, optimism, and enthusiasm. This was because I had reduced my self-imposed expectations, allowing myself to thrive.
Mastering stress and self-care is essential - take control of yourself in 2024!
Im totally here for it!
Thank you for listening 🎧 Cheers to an amazing year
Love you so big,

In this episode I talk with Lisa Sun the Founder and CEO of the apparel brand Gravitas and the author of the recently published, runaway best seller titled - “Gravitas: The 8 Strengths That Redefine Confidence.”
But first a few thoughts.
****************
In the spring of 2022, I was in New York for the annual Vision Monday Leadership Summit. This event was being called “Discover & Recalibrate! Trends, Ideas and Tactics for Confronting Radical Change.” This 13th Annual gatherings brought into sharp focus the megatrends shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic.
A lot of change has occurred in the world from the spring of 2020 up to this event. The COVID pandemic had shifted our worlds. The uncertainty and ambiguity brought about by the evolving circumstance of a global pandemic was a cause for pause. A time to re-evaluate and find strategies to address new challenges that faced us all.
My talk focused on navigating the fluid world of exponential change, facing down the unknown and looking for ways to remain buoyant in the sea of change all around us.
I suggested that cultural mindsets had been shifting over the past few years and that they had been hastened in the context of the global pandemic. When brands, their goods, services and experiences, are at odds with evolving culture, they can lose their value even if their legacy stays strong.
As cultural transformation happens, brands need to learn how to navigate cultural complexity and create a different future that is aligned with the pace of change.
In a post-pandemic, experience-seeking economy, health, safety and welfare are a baseline in the guest expectation set. But addressing evolving customer needs was now well beyond making sure customers were safe while shopping, visiting a hotel or simply being out in the community.
How do we keep up with the pace of change? As the pace of change speeds along how can we finding meaning in the in-between of the last and the next big thing?
I focused on how can changing your mindset about change allow us to see the ‘now’ as an emergent space of creative possibility?
Changing your mindset – reframing the context – seeing the interdependency of things – looking for opportunity in upheaval… these all seemed to be front-row-center how we needed to adjust to a new world order.
As I was in the speaker’s green room waiting for my time slot to come up, in bounds a woman with an air of openness, humility and eagerness to connect. There was an energy of confidence that emanated from her.
She seemed to stand her ground, command her conversations and did so while not imposing on you but welcoming you into a shared space of empathic connection. I thought to my self, that I had to make sure that is saw that presentation.
When Lisa Sun hit the stage, she was direct and vulnerable. She was hilarious with her impressions of her Taiwanese mother who she says was a Tiger Mom before it became a thing with publishing of Amy Chua’s book that popularized the term.
She shared her personal journey, living with her immigrant parents in Rancho Cucamonga who ran the only Chinese restaurant withing 40 miles of her home. Her first job out of college was working in a scrap metal yard, then worked for 11 years at McKinsey and Company where she spent on average 250 days a year on the road. She decided to take an 11 month sojourn to travel the world ending her trip with passing through Taiwan where her parents had retired.
Her mother tried convinced her to spend half of her life’s saving to create her own business rather than going back to the corporate consulting world. A fateful yearly performance review led to an epiphany and that in turn led her to her company Gravitas being born.
Today Lisa Sun is the founder and CEO of GRAVITAS, a company on a mission to catalyze confidence. GRAVITAS offers innovative size-inclusive apparel, styling solutions, and content designed to make over women from the inside out.
Her first collection was featured inO, The Oprah Magazine, People,and theToday show in the same month.
Lisa Sun and GRAVITAS have been featured on CNN and inForbes, Fast Company,New York magazine, Elle, Marie Claire,InStyle, and more.
Often called the “dress whisperer,” Lisa is also a highly sought-after public speaker who likes to impart her hard-won knowledge on having gravitas and how to best harness it in other people.
10 + years after starting Gravitas the company, “Gravitas: the book, subtitled “The 8 Strengths That Redefine Confidence” has been published.
In her book Lisa Sun shares her journey of self-discovery and combines it with proprietary research, real-world examples, and anecdotes from other successful women who have championed their own definition of self-worth.
When I think back to the Vision Monday Leadership Summit and it being called “Discover & Recalibrate! Trends, Ideas and Tactics for Confronting Radical Change” I was talking about the radical environmental contextual change all around us and how that would influence change in the way we re-thought the design of our companies, brand experience places and re-writing long-held narratives that were no longer suited to a world of rapid change.
I think Lisa’s talk was signaling the need for personal radical change. Seeking for a view of oneself that required a mindset shift to believing in a sense of self-empowerment - welcoming change as a vehicle for personal growth.
Gravitas, both the apparel company and the book, seek to “catalyze confidence.”

Our Teenage girls: Perfectionism, Confidence and Losing your Twirl. Special Guest - Mia Patterson.
Mia has been working in the world of education all her life. She is gifted, passionate and insightful with regard to the inner working of teenagers. Tonight we explored the headspace of many teens who fundamentally lack confidence and fear self expression.
I just love how Mia plays the goofball with her teenage students, when in truth she is lovingly guiding them toward backing themselves and exploring their voice and point of difference. Perfectionism and confidence is about needing to feel in control at a point when most teenagers feel completely out of control.
Join Mia and I as we delve into the teenage psyche and try to find ways to build them up from the inside out.
Thankyou Mia, I so enjoy our time together. You are truly a gem of wisdom and devotion.

Welcome Back Babe 👋🏻 Life throws everything at us, some good and some not so good.
My husband always said the the light at the end of the tunnel opens up to a beautiful scene - but I said, It was the light from the oncoming train.
After some soul searching, deep diving and lots of therapy sessions I learned that i'm still a work on progress & i'm doing an amazing job. Everyone's dream looks very different and out progress never is the same - so stop comparing yourself to others.
2023 was about more confidence, embracing my sassy and sexier self because I deserve it. The journey has been tough and others needs to see that with hard work - you too can achieve your goals. Be that lighthouse of hope ❤️
Love you so big
