  • What's the worst that can happen

    16/01/2019 Duración: 18min

    In our previous podcast, we discussed how self-confidence is often strongly influenced by our perceptions about what others might think about us. This is an endlessly fascinating topic for me and Rachel because we often swing between feeling totally ourselves, ready to the face the world, through to crippling anxiety about what others will think, and back again.In doing so, we are gradually learning strategies for staying more in the former space, and reducing time in the latter. But it is by no means a perfect science. We find ourselves testing the waters, dipping our toes into different ways of being to see what happens.

  • Do I need a wig

    16/01/2019 Duración: 22min

    This is our very first ever ‘podcast’, which we found to be both scary and exciting! I was interested to reflect on  one aspect of the conversation, where I touch on how we might measure ‘femininity’. It is a testament to the power of social conditioning that my immediate thoughts on this were to see external things like make-up and jewellery as feminine markers and I was pleased to check myself on this front. I don’t think this at all! Isn’t it incredible how sub-conscious thoughts can influence our conscious mind. The most powerful lesson for me as a result of this audio experiment is to understand that it is ok, and indeed vital, to stick with my true values about the importance of character over appearance. It is this conviction which has helped me to develop a sense of strength since losing my hair, and to come back to that place of strength in wobbly moments.
