Today is a Q&A episode where I’m answering questions submitted by you on Instagram all about projects and productivity. I’m covering rediscovering drive after burn out, procrastination, time blocking, structure, and overcoming fear to do the thing you want to do.

Today I’m chatting with Cait from her new home where all the writing was going to happen. We talk about whether the writing is, in fact, happening, and how Cait balances a lightness in her projects with the need for financial security. Mostly, though, we talk about love.

Today I thought I’d share with you a bit of a review of the Mapping launch - what happened, how it went and my insights and feeling about it in general. I feel like launching is one of those things that can consume us if we let it. We can drown ourselves in all the launching advice there is out there and we can build these huge walls of expectation that we can’t ever scale.

Today is, shall we say, a low energy episode with Sasha. We were both feeling a little meh about things, and decided to talk our way to why that was. We touch on surrender, the seasons, go into morning and night time routines - and do you need them - big picture vs day to day, and also all the word play around being and having confidence. Life is tiring, so come be tired with us.

Energy is a fickle thing that is hard to pin down or systematise - we know whether we haven’t or we don’t, but beyond that it is mysterious. Unlike time, which has books after books after podcasts after articles written about it, energy seems to get lumped in with sleep and nutrition and other topics rather than stand alone.

Today I’m catching up with Cait who is now in the same time zone after her transatlantic move. We talked about becoming yourself again after a huge change, having curiosity instead of panics about your work, the connection between thriving and a flow state and whether it’s possible to have one without the other.

Over the last three years, in increasing intensity, I have been thinking, writing and living about fulfilment. How does happiness happen? What stops us living true lives, enjoying our lives? And all that thinking and writing and living has converged into Mapping, my new programme which has opened today.

Today I’m back with Sasha for our first update of 2022. Since we last spoke, Sasha has changed jobs, and also had some realisations about how her ability to turn her hand to anything was a way to keep herself small and in survival. We also talk about not overcommitting ourselves, self definition and job titles limiting the scope of our work, as well as new year feelings, bringing the lessons with us, and words of the year.

Welcome back to Grow With Soul, and this first episode of 2022. Thank you so much for coming back and listening in and supporting the show. Today I wanted to talk about something that is as fitting in January as it is any other month: change.

Q4 is always a bit of a strange one because there is this push/pull between “making the most of the end of the year” and also hitting November and thinking “well that’s the year done”. Even as the product businesses shout at me that the year is very much not done, I do feel that no matter your business, by the time you get to November there’s a sense of “getting through December” and thinking forwards to plans for the next year.

I wanted to talk about this topic today because it’s a common barrier to doing what you want with your life: other people. It doesn’t matter how certain you are about what you want and where you want to go, other people always have the potential to derail or deflate your plans; and when you’re not certain, not confident, then they can stop you from even considering it.

Today I am back with Cait, and as we promised in our last conversation, today we’re wrestling with the question of how to rebuild confidence. As with all great conversations, this took us to many different places, and uncovered things we didn’t even really know were there.

Today I am back answering your questions following the mindset Q&A episode a few weeks ago. Today’s questions are more practical, about sticking with your path, redirecting your career, choosing which ideas to follow, figuring out what you want and simplifying rather than being stuck in the busy trap.

This week I’m sharing my next conversation with Sasha. It’s a little earlier than planned, because I have been moving house this week. This week was definitely not the time to be recording a new solo show, so I’m bringing this conversation forward.

Hello, today you are meeting my final guest co-host Syreeta. In this conversation we moved from relating in person and online and what the ramifications of the last year are on how we do that, and how we’ve both dealt with a winter in our work and the awareness that you are the same human at work that is dealing with a lot in life.

Today is the first Q&A episode of the new iteration of the podcast, and I have to say that everyone who submitted questions via Instagram knocked it out of the park.

Today I am back with another co-host this week, and sharing the first chat with Cait. We had a big old catch up about what we're even doing with work at the moment, and something that seemed to be a big topic for us was experiencing a huge disappointment in work, and how that affects...well, everything.

Hello, welcome back to Grow With Soul, thank you for coming back, it is very much appreciated. It is just me again today and today’s episode I think follows along nicely from last week’s episode with Sasha, probably because this was all stewing and condensing in my mind since that conversation.

Hello! Today is the first episode of our new guest co-host episodes and I am beyond excited for you to listen to this conversation with my friend Sasha.

Welcome back to a slightly revamped and refocused Grow With Soul. In the last episode I hinted at the changes that were to come, and you will have already seen the new artwork and heard the new jingle so you’ll know that something is afoot.
