Have you watched Baby Reindeer on Netflix? Right now, people have been deep-diving to reveal the identities of the show's characters, as it is based on true events. Taking the show at face value - obsessive stalker story - is completely missing the point, in my opinion. Richard Gadd stated that the show depicts 'an emotional truth'. This emotional truth that we find so relatable, is that we all have a Martha Scott in our lives; a red flag that appears time and time again. How do you choose to respond? Are you a Donny Dunn? How can you break the cycle of self sabotage? ⁠⁠Support the show⁠⁠⁠ *** Ready to break the burnout cycle & take back control of your growth and success?

When I started my first business, I was told it was a pipe dream. When I created my first podcast to talk about my mental health, I was told it was "committing career suicide" because no one will want to employ someone if they consider them to be "mentally unfit". I was advised that I would be much better off to keep my mouth shut, keep my head down and stay in a secure, corporate job for the next 40 years, and save any pipe dreams for my retirement plans.

Picture this - You're in a meeting when you get completely blindsided by some outlandish request on something you have no idea about, followed by an information overload to 'fill you in' and 'get you up to speed' to make a decision there and then... (Even writing this raised my blood pressure a little) - What is your response? - Do you get defensive? - Do you agree to everything to avoid conflict and worry about it later? - Do you regulate your emotional state to make a clear and conscious decision that earns you greater respect? Getting overwhelmed by these workplace scenarios is a natural response - it's not your fault. But you can prepare to deal with it proactively if you have the right tools in your arsenal.

Setting goals and reaching milestones is all about evolving, improving, growing - but they do not always create the sense of emotional fulfilment in the way that we think they will. High achievers have a tendency to think "What's next?" and chase the next shiny object or goal that should take them to the next level... But what if we made goals about loving what we already have rather chasing the things that seem beyond our reach? This January, I'm asking you to take a moment to reflect on what you truly want to achieve this year, and explore some ideas to become fully aware of what you really want.
