Welcome back to Fireside. Today’s episode is a blog post omnibus, where I share the blog posts that I’ve published the previous month.

Fireside: Episode 21 - Identifying Unhelpful Patterns In Your Work
Hello and welcome back to Fireside. Today I’m beginning to share what it’s like within my Finish With Confidence programme, and in these episodes I’ll take a deeper dive into some of the things asked by the latest cohort, and, of course, my responses. Today we’re covering those unhelpful patterns and cycles you begin to notice within yourself that hold you up, or hold you back.
Fireside: Episode 20 - How To Find Your Secret Sauce (Or Not)
Hello and welcome back to Fireside. Today I’m going to be talking about something that has stirred a lot of thinking in me: secret sauce. What I mean by this is the ‘thing’ that makes us successful online, and particularly on that app we can’t help but love-hate: Instagram.
Fireside: Episode 19 - The Big Overwhelming New Thing
Hello and welcome back to Fireside. Today is a topic prompts very much a ‘been there, know that’ feeling for me, because if there’s one thing I’ve always done, it start big, new, overwhelming things. Whilst that is part of the fun of it, there are a few ways in which you can approach your redirection to make it easier, and more attainable. That’s what I’m talking about in today’s episode.

Hello and welcome back to Fireside. This is an episode about creativity and also about shame. In it we explore the root of shame around the ways in which we feel creative, and how to perhaps look at it differently.
Fireside: Episode 17 - Getting Curious About How You Feel (About Goals)
Hello, and welcome to Season 2 of Fireside. I’m back a little earlier than expected due to a very interesting January-themed question that I received, and it’s all to do with goal setting - or the lack thereof!
2023 Year Review: The “Rock Bottom” Year
Every year since I started my business, I’ve written a review of the year, and ever since having a podcast, I’ve recorded it too, so you can listen along if you prefer to. This year is no different.

Fireside: Episode 13 - Making Time For Sacred Work

Fireside: Episode 12 - Keeping Going When You Don't Have Faith
Welcome back to Fireside. In today’s episode I’m talking about trust, faith and keeping going, often when you feel like you don’t believe in what you’re doing. I mention my own ongoing experience with keeping the faith, and what you can do when you’re just not feeling it.
Fireside: Episode 11 - How To Get Over Resistance
Welcome back to Fireside. In today’s episode, I’m talking about resistance to doing the work: acknowledging the resistance, working out what it’s protecting us from, and what a robust approach to working with it might look like.

Welcome back to Fireside. Today is a blog omnibus episode, in which I share the blogs I published in October, bringing them freshly to you, or giving you a new perspective on them. In this episode I cover my realisations about self management, the reactions within me that not winning a writing prize provoked, and the marketing basics that I managed to forget for a while.
Fireside: Episode 9 - Pivoting - Creating Space Not Solutions
Welcome back to Fireside. Today is another episode about pivoting, and this time we’re covering the messy middle of a pivot. In this episode, I’ll be using experience gained from my own pivots, as well as insights from coaching I’ve received, to advocate for pivoting from a place of security, safety, and abundance, not from a place of panic and desperation. Pivoting can be fun - I promise!
Fireside: Episode 8 - How To Share Yourself & Your Thoughts
Welcome back to Fireside. Today I’m talking about…talking! Specifically in the online sense, as inspired by a question I received recently about tackling the ‘imposter syndrome of talking about life, mental health, growth, passions and joys’. In this episode I cover profundity, storytelling, and communicating your truth.
Fireside: Episode 7 - Never-Ending To Do Lists
Welcome back to Fireside. Today I’m talking about the never-ending-ness of to-do lists. This includes how I manage my time now, and how to structure what you need to do in a way that means it doesn’t get forgotten (and actually gets done!)

Welcome back to Fireside. Today’s episode is for those who find themselves inspired by, and doing, so many things, they can’t (and don’t want to) pin it down.
