Have you ever felt like you’ve gotten where you are because of some crazy fluke? Like you’re totally winging it and waiting for the day others find you out? You’re not alone. This, dear reader, is impostor syndrome and apparently around 70% of us have experienced it. So either a lot of us are impostors, … Continue reading How to cope with impostor syndrome
Something I’ve come to realise recently is how important taking time and space for yourself is when it comes to navigating with self-doubt. Ever since recovering from anorexia and building my self-worth, I’ll admit that I haven’t *really* struggled with self-doubt. Especially when it came to blogging and my job. This could be because I’ve … Continue reading Finding space and navigating self-doubt
We’ve all been there right? Something happens that triggers a negative thought, your inner critic takes that thought and runs with it, until you’re spiralling and paralysed by fear. This happened to me pretty recently but I was able to claw my way out relatively quickly. So I thought today I would share the process … Continue reading How to get out of a negative thought spiral
I listened to Sara Tasker and Jen Carrington talking about building a business alongside a day job in their podcast ‘Letters from a Hopeful Creative’ today and could relate to a lot of what they discussed. Managing time when you’re trying to blog/start a business alongside another job is bloody difficult. In the podcast they … Continue reading Managing time when you have a side-hustle
When I first discovered the world of body positivity, I felt inspired. I found people who were happy in their bodies and started a journey of learning. I was passionate about loving my body as it was, started to call myself ‘body positive’ and added ‘body positivity’ to my bios on Twitter and Instagram. I … Continue reading Why I removed ‘body positivity’ from my social profiles
I mentioned this here recently, but there is such a back to school vibe this September. I don’t know if it’s always like this and I’ve never noticed before, or if it’s because I launched something new myself, but wow - there is some energy in this month. I think that energy is change… it’s calling … Continue reading Compassionate goal setting
A bit of a different post from me today as today is the day I launch my self-worth coaching services *happy dance*. While I’ve been physically working towards this goal for about a year, emotionally and mentally I’ve been working towards it for much longer. When I started blogging in 2008, I had no real … Continue reading Self-worth coaching launch
Having low self-worth basically means you don’t think a huge amount of yourself. Maybe you don’t like what you see in the mirror or the way you always apologise when you don’t need to. You might have a raging self-critic, telling you you aren’t good enough and that you can’t do that awesome thing you’d … Continue reading Self-worth in your business
I initially planned to call this blog ‘X steps to self-acceptance’, but then I realised just how big a topic that is, and I don’t feel like a blog post could ever do it justice. We’re all unique and the relationships we have with ourselves are complicated. There are so many reasons why some of … Continue reading Self-acceptance game changers
I’ve had one of those days. You know when you’re on the edge of tears all day and kinda wish you’d spent the day in bed? There’s a squirmy discomfort and, for me at least, a real sense of sadness. I’ve cried twice already and the day isn’t over yet. I was musing on this … Continue reading Using negative emotions
