We talk about her transition into motherhood, loss and recovery from grief—and how her processing and digesting of her own trauma has led her to a deeper place to lead her client’s through their own empowerment journey. We also talk about the power of getting to know your body, including experiencing that wild part of you.

The confusion we have over our sense of ‘busyness’ is that we feel that the busier we become the more in control we’ll be. And if we’re more in control, then surely we can direct those feelings and emotions to where we want them to go.

Unfortunately the almost opposite is true. Busy for most people is a ‘numbing’ strategy, one that stops you from not just feeling all those uncomfortable things (stress, overwhelm, exhaustion), but also stops you from experiencing the joy (excitement, delight, pleasure).

In today’s episode we dive a little deeper into why feelings are so important and how allowing yourself to soften into both sides of the emotional spectrum will transform not just your relationship with busy (for good!), also your entire life—making that vision for more ease, joy, efficiency, fun and fullness easy to fulfil.

I love hearing the different “choose your own adventure” pathways that people take and the mix of life that comes together to bring them to this moment right now.

When we want to grow, learn, love, and achieve it can be easy to get caught in the trap of believing we have to do it all – to achieve it all.

Yet “busy” becomes a behaviour that actually keeps us more stuck, than it does contribute to our successes. What if you could free yourself of all the doing? What if you could achieve all that you wanted, without the pressure and tension and stress?

Over time I’ve redefined my relationship with busy. And it started with one critical ingredient, which I’m sharing more about in this episode.

From Genevieve Parker Hill having moved countries every 6-12months, to Ruth Poundwhite running her own business straight out of uni (on her own), to Willemijn Maas making a career move from working in psychiatry to the online business world—their experiences of the need for connection and community couldn’t be more different!

And yet, we all came together with a core longing and intention. We wanted a place to feel seen and heard. We all needed deep conversations.

We’ve been in our mastermind group for almost two years and are constantly sharing voicenotes with each other about how grateful we are for having a space like this. 😉

Here’s some of what we talk about:
- how to refine your process for creating community over time
- why it’s okay to outgrow people and move on
- online versus offline connections
- the reason we all believe our mastermind has been so successful
- handling feelings of loneliness

What a way to wrap up the grand finale of Season 4 of the podcast!

- how to refine your process for creating community over time
- why it’s okay to outgrow people and move on
- online versus offline connections
- the reason we all believe our mastermind has been so successful
- handling feelings of loneliness

What a way to wrap up the grand finale of Season 4 of the podcast!

There is another way.

One that allows you to optimise your energy, make better decisions, and increase your capacity for joy.

Today’s guest has had a profound impact on how I show up for myself and my business. Integrating her cyclical tracking and #doless systems took me from a state of scattered and unsure, to decisive, confident and consistently energised in my business (and life).

Kate Northrup has built a 7-figure business multimedia educational platform, written bestselling books, and even created a “Do Less” ecosystem, from her Do Less Planner, to her programs and Origin Membership group.

However it wasn’t all easy, nor did it come with a very “do less” way at first.

She shares in this episode how she went from “playing business” and wanting to “look” successful, to being grounded in her body and expanding her capacity for ease, joy, and success.

Here’s what we talk about:

* how Kate approached business when she first started out (age 18)
* the turning point she had, and what she had to come face to face with
* what overgrown ferns can teach us about energy and success
* questions to ask yourself when feeling overwhelmed
* how to do priority things on days when you really don’t want to
* better ways to handle uncomfortable moments in our lives
* the power of preventative scheduling
* and so much more!

I love Kate’s super practical, honest ways of optimising how she wants to feel in her life. She’s on a mission to support ambitious women to light up the world without burning themselves out. And I’m so excited to introduce her to you today.

Kate’s offering her most valuable free experience, Right Thing, Right Time—where you can learn her exact system for cyclical energy tracking, so you too can change the way you relate to work and time forever. I’ve signed up already, and you can too at www.thedaisypatch.co.uk/kate.

The three women you will hear from today have had varied experiences of change this year. From adjustments in running their own business, to managing experiments in a lab through lockdown restrictions, being furloughed from work, and reconsidering if now really is the best time to resign.

Dima Mekdad, Daniela Nofal and Halima Salim joined Joy Club when it was birthed earlier this year with nothing more than a short voicenote from me saying “want to come together and focus on joy with all this change going on right now?”.

And I love how eagerly they committed to coming together in community, without even really knowing what it would look or feel like.

They continually showing up for themselves, to being curious about change no matter how uncomfortable it feels, and to honouring a practice of joy in their lives.

I asked them to come and share some of their “joy journey” and what their experience has been through Joy Club.

We talk about:

* the difference between joy and happiness
* how joy changes and evolves over time
* what listening to your body can give you
* self care versus productivity
* their favourite ways to connect back into joy, no matter what kind of day they’re having

This episode will inspire you to choose joy, even when you’d really rather have a tantrum instead. 😉

I share the importance of welcoming in all your emotions, why joy is not just a “nice to have”, and why when you’re starting out choosing joy could feel a little clunky.

This is an ideal time of year to take a moment to reflect on how you want things to be. There’s lots of change going on, globally and in our own homes right now, and it’s also literally a seasonal change. Times of transition require us to be more intentional.

Instead of falling into overwhelm and stress, it’s time to choose joy. Let’s hit that reset button together.

Yet Lauren Armes, founder of Welltodo, is quick to share that getting to a place of doing her heart’s work didn’t come quickly.

Lauren spent the early part of her career undecided what to study, if she’d even like it, and eventually finding herself in a role in a manufacturing firm. It was the exposure to the variety of business areas that kept her creative, entrepreneurial mind busy and growing for years. But when her comfort started to set in, she knew she needed a change.

While Lauren is now seen as an expert in the wellness industry—helping experts and coaches to “make a mark, make an impact, and make money”—in this podcast episode you get to hear more of her personal journey. The decisions she made along the way, and the beliefs and attitude it took to continue to thrive in her business and life.

We talk about:
* not knowing what you want to be, but being willing to try
* getting uncomfortable and finding beauty in the “not knowing”
* the analytical brain vs heart balance when it comes to decision-making
* Lauren’s mindset of trusting that things will work out
* how she finally got to her “clarity moment” and found her heart’s work
* finding joy in your challenges

Chances are that even if you do ponder this at times, you tend to block yourself from “going too far”. We have this tendency to focus on all the symptoms that make our life feel challenging – the stress management, the time management. Which can cloud us when it comes to making decisions about what we really want.

This conversation starter is about a critical theme that has the power to transform your relationship with yourself, your loved ones, and support you to ditch your stress (and busyness) entirely.

In this episode I invite you to get curious and explore:

* what it is you most desire, and how often you really consider this
* blocks to feeling good and how to start to remove them
* considering you feeling good as a powerful way to charge your energy and clarity in your life

How well do you know yourself? And if you’re depleted from certain activities or experiences in your life, could it be that you’re not getting to the depth of what lights you up most?

* why we’re so used to feeling fear and how to welcome in more joy
* why Tamu chose to educate herself and listen to her body, instead of the prescribed talking therapy approach

Paediatric Occupational Therapist, mama to two and all round joyful being, Amparo Soto, shares some of the ways she chooses to keep showing up for herself in today’s episode.

She’s chosen to see the world in a positive light and its served her well. We met after she followed her gut and “we’ll figure it out” mindset to Japan to teach English for a year, which ultimately supported her to discover a career that is perfect for her (even though she didn’t really know what it was or that it existed). This mindset has continue to support her through her since her son’s in utero diagnosis of congenital heart defects and subsequent multiple surgeries. She says it’s her family, her deep love, and her new love of running 😉 that elevates her even on her toughest days, to feel happy.

Here’s some of what we talk about:

*having a “give it a go” mindset based on how things feel
*creating a strong support system, family and love
*daily appreciation of what you have
*trusting in the lessons you learn along the way
*finding your own outlets to be alone and recharge
*finding a profession that feels like play

As you’ll hear in this episode it was all for the best too! Her joyful energy is magnetic and she now thrives in her day job in the banking industry, where she’s been for 10 years, whilst also building her wellness consultancy.

She says when she got the taste of slowing down, she loved it instantly, and while it’s still a dance at times with running all the aspects of her life, she now knows how to spot when “it’s happening” and give herself grace. We talk about everything from the performance race through to creating your own bubble of happiness and “taking pleasure in doing in nothing”.

We cover:

*Slowing down and still being highly ambitious
*Getting curious about what next
*Looking at your life as an observer
*Being willing to “dip your toe” into a new way of being
*Having strength and conviction that life is happening for you
*And the French philosophy of taking time to do things, and choosing quality not quantity

Denise Duffield Thomas (@denisedt) wasn’t always “rich”. When she spent almost a decade living in London, she didn’t even own a winter coat. She has plenty of stories of starting businesses as a kid, from making bracelets to selling manure and leading the Cool Kids Club (inspired by The Babysitters Club). And while not all of these ventures “worked out” they planted the seeds for dreams she’s continued to bring to life since.

Denise is now the money mentor for the new wave of online entrepreneurs who want to make money and change the world. She helps women charge premium prices, release the fear of money and create First Class lives. Her books and Money Bootcamp have helped thousands of women globally to reclaim their dreams and live abundantly.

And she takes a very “chilled” approach to doing so as you’ll take away from this episode. Full of anecdotes that’ll shift you out of self-doubt mode, Denise shares insights for bringing your dreams to life and the incremental changes you can make right now to actually feel good in your life.

We talk about:

* what Denise used to carry around with her to fuel her dreams when she was stuck in jobs she didn’t like

* what you can tell yourself to get out of your stuck mindset and feel free

* what birthday cakes have to do with your dreams, and why you should be talking about them out loud

* easing your stress the easy way (it has something to do with bumbags aka fanny packs)

* the little things you can start doing now to make big progress

Plus – Denise shares her next big dream right at the end, and it’s one of my favourites!

This episode is about wholeheartedly claiming your dreams and giving yourself permission to go after them. Denise and I can’t wait to hear all about your secret dreams. Be sure to tag @denisedt and me @thedaisypatchcoaching and let us know over on Instagram.

Having shuffled around shelter homes, moved to the other side of the world at age 18, divorced a few years later, and moved again to a foreign country with no qualifications, it could be easy to question how Susie Moore has kept her inherent positivity and joyful attitude to life.

Susie is a former sales director and adviser for start-ups in Silicon Valley, now a life coach and advice columnist for some of the world’s biggest media outlets. Her work has been featured in many prominent and well respected places from Oprah through to the Today Show and Time Inc.

Yet it was her down to earth and poignant commentary in a webinar that reeled me in and why I rushed to buy her latest book, Stop Checking Your Likes, and wanted her on the show.

She’s been obsessed with mastering the “confidence game” as she puts it, since she was a kid and its her mission to help more and more people live an approval free life.

I crammed in a lot of questions in this conversation because I really wanted you to hear her “can’t argue with that” insights for, as Susie puts I, straight up loving your life.

We talk about:
· Susie’s childhood desire to bring the joy and how she realised it’s the only way
· the laziness of cynicism, and how happiness is a such a success attractor
· why we need more willingness to be uncomfortable
· an instant short-circuit for self-doubt and worry about what others think of you (it’s my favourite part of Susie’s book!)
· why trying to be anything but ourselves is exhausting (and how to stop holding back)
· the relationship between pleasure and worthiness

Trying to “handle it all” is exhausting and futile. We tell ourselves if we can just read that extra book this week or check in with that friend or read more of the news or focus on that deadline at work, then everything will feel better.

What we’re really saying to ourselves is that we want our control back.

And the issue with focusing on all the things we have to “handle” first, is that we only ever end up with a temporary fix. Because, there’s always more news, more phone calls, more books, more deadlines.

The tool I’ve relied on for decades to bring me back to a place of certainty, no matter how uncertain my life has felt is, planning.

And not just any planning.

My approach is unconventional.

In today’s episode I’m sharing 3 of the main pillars I use to take myself through a mid-year review and planning process. It’s what I use to fuel my dreams, and create more joy and ease in my life consistently.

The woman I’m about to introduce you to is special for many many reasons. I’ve witnessed her transformation and dedicated commitment to her dreams for twenty years now, and yet there’s something even more magical happening right now.

The more she has “jumped in” the more of her light you see.

Noriko Clarke left Japan at the young age of 15 years old, to study abroad in Australia and well, never returned. A mama to two gorgeous girls, fashion and graphic designer, and expat mother’s coach—she really is seemingly “doing it all” now. She’s more passionate than ever before about her dream to support women, who like her may have never really considered how to integrate the challenges and joys of raising a bilingual and bicultural family, whilst navigating the internal dialogues of am I doing this right?

For a while there, she felt like she had lost herself. Noriko shares in this conversation from a vulnerable place – we go deep, quickly. We’ve known each other for so long, it’s hard not to. And what I love so much is that this was a whole new experience for her, something she’s never done before and yet she jumped straight in. A theme we talk lots about throughout the episode—about how having that strong dream has fuelled her no matter what, how her beliefs of figuring it out and never stopping learning have kept her sane and energised despite periods of immense challenge (learning a new language, motherhood and losing her father), and why one of the most transformative lessons came when she decided she needed more time for herself.

And then you’re stuck, for days, weeks even, feeling frustrated with yourself.

Or, there’s a big decision to make in your life and you can’t seem to do anything about it. Instead you stay stuck in overthinking mode, believing it will eventually lead the way.

This is a conversation we had recently in my Joy Club. Overthinking. How it gets us stuck, frustrated and forgetting about the importance of our dreams and feeling good.

This episode will help you stop the gnawing feeling in your belly, all that procrastination, and even give you back your control.

I share how overthinking can show up more during times of change and uncertainty, and how to handle these periods of transition in a more sustainable (and joyful) way. Specifically I give 4 tips on getting out of that state quickly and creating easy momentum.

Throughout all of these turning points she says her curiosity has led the way and kept her connected to her sense of purpose. She’s determined to empower people connect to their own meaning and to know and look after themselves better.

Sophie has lead BALANCE into the top percentile of UK circulations within a few years. She regularly advises brands on go-to-market strategy and delivers wellness workshops for the likes of L’Oreal, Mediacom and Accenture. She has coached and mentored at every level, from students no longer in employment, education or training, through to Fortune 500 CEOs. And, she’s also a Psychotherapist!

Sophie is open and honest about how she approaches wellness in her life, and despite founding an incredible wellness business she’s upfront about what her “real life” looks like and what she does to keep looking after her self (it might not be what you think).

We talk about how all those dots connected for her, why sometimes the toughest moments are there to show us our purpose, and how to tell the difference between anxiety and fear. And plenty more. This episode is full of heart and full of tips to keep discovering more of who you are.

Halima Salim is an inspiring example of choosing curiosity and gratitude above all else. Somalian by birth, moving to the UK as a refugee at age nine, with no prior schooling – Halima went on to be the first in her family to graduate from university. She’s taught English for over ten years, and built an incredibly successful and engaged following (of over 25,000 followers) in two years.

We talk a lot about how important it is to “take full responsibility” for your life, what that really means, and how to develop a stronger relationship with yourself.

Halima has recently launched a new business venture, supporting other online businesses to build and create engaged communities, harnessing the power of social media. Her eagerness to keep pushing her own boundaries, to implement fast change for herself and prioritise her mindset is magnetic.

Having left a successful corporate career in IT, Marta returned to a hobby that had been along her side for almost 20 years. Taking what she says “filled her heart” and creating a photography business.

In this episode she shares a powerful story about how even though she was following her heart, she hadn’t fully allowed herself to be seen. And how it took a lot of bravery to see herself as beautiful.

Now she creates stunning boudoir photos to support women to see themselves in a way they’ve never seen before – and to realise too, that they’re already beautiful.

We talk about that craving for wanting more in your life, finding the things that excite you, and not letting comparison get in the way.

Have you paid attention to how it makes you feel when you do so? Research shows the positive impact gratitude has on our mental, emotional and physical wellbeing.

What if I told you there was an amplification to this practice? Something that could help shake off that indecision and get you feeling really really good about yourself?

Sheila Botelho describes herself as someone who has always “gone against the grain”. She married, but chose to wait longer to have children, she chose self-employment at time where it just wasn’t the thing to do, and she chose to homeschool her kids.

Sheila is a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, online entrepreneur, and business mentor who teaches people how to thrive in their health and lifestyles.

For more than 20 years she’s run an international wellness business with her husband, and is on a mission to support women to prioritise self-care, access their strength and live with purpose.

If you’re cringing at “self-care”, don’t worry I’ve got you covered! Sheila and I break down what it really means and why how she refers to it is much more about creating transformations in your life. We also talk about accessing an energy of confidence, staying connected to your inner feelings, and trusting your dreams.

Martina is one of the most thoughtful, loving and considerate people I know. And she’s been a big example to me of what is possible when you make a decision to choose how you want to feel in your life. She’s moved constantly, often many many miles away from family, made choices to step away from her career and welcome in being a stay at home mum, and now homeschools her three children.

Whilst she’s had a version of her blog for many years (recently republished as hellohappee.com), her illustrations officially started on Instagram two years ago (now with over 130k followers).

Starting to post her “doodles” was a way to create a positive space where people could go, something she wished people had been talking about when she was growing up and living with anxiety.

I love so much about this conversation! Laura shares a common belief of mine, that we can talk about the hard stuff and still be positive. We talk about how creativity has supported her wellbeing, the power of imagination, taking care of our emotions and mental health, and the lesson that’s in our breaking points.

We talk about how creativity has supported her wellbeing, the power of imagination, taking care of our emotions and mental health, and the lesson that’s in our breaking points.

I can’t wait for you to listen!

I’m so happy to be introducing you to the wonderful Millie Ralph today – to celebrate the launch of Season 3!

And what a start. This conversation was rich, honest and loving. And there’s even a special bonus treat for you at the end.

Millie transitioned from a career of over a decade in acting to supporting women’s wellbeing through sound healing, meditation and yoga therapy. She says for years before she made the change she felt something unsettling, that kept her labelling herself in one area. It wasn’t until she realised “I can do lots of things” that she gave herself permission to let go and build something new.

Millie shares openly about how some of those pressures started to build for her, until she reached a tipping point. Including facing some health challenges along the way.

We talk about the importance of feeling, the daily practice of letting go, rest being “truly radical”, and so much more. Listen out for Millie’s top tip for destressing and creating more calm (it’s one of my favourites).

She now works with women who are wanting to connect back to their natural cycles and womb wisdom, through her sound healing practices and classes. And as a special bonus treat – we recorded a 10min guided sound bath for you at the end of the episode. Get ready for some instant calm. 😉

She shares how for a long time she had so much resistance and “should” over how to make herself happy – which just left her in limbo. Now she’s learning how to tap more into that place of joy in her heart, whether or not the doubts are there. There is sooo much in this episode.
