Over the past nine episodes, we’ve explored powerful themes like self-awareness, imposter syndrome, setting boundaries, and learning to love ourselves through change.


In this final episode, we’re diving into a topic that impacts so many of us - procrastination and burnout.


You’ll learn:

  • Why procrastination isn’t laziness - but avoidance driven by fear, perfectionism, or overwhelm.
  • How burnout builds over time and what signs to watch for before it takes hold.
  • Simple yet powerful strategies to overcome procrastination using techniques like the Pomodoro method and progress-over-perfection thinking.
  • How to prevent and recover from burnout by setting boundaries, prioritising self-care, and letting go of the myth that rest is selfish.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply needing a reset, this episode is here to help you break free and return to the best version of yourself.


✨ Key Takeaways:

  • Procrastination and burnout are often two sides of the same coin.
  • Perfectionism creates paralysis. Choose progress instead.
  • Boundaries aren’t selfish - they’re a form of self-respect.
  • Rest is a requirement, not a luxury.


This is your reminder that taking care of yourself is an act of strength - and essential for your long-term wellbeing.

]]> transformation, self-help, full circle, personal development, coaching, authenticity No Goal Setting, Structure & Routines That Support Your Best Self 9 9 Goal Setting, Structure & Routines That Support Your Best Self full 45b3e03a-5084-4d2c-83d1-f3c77317426d https://share.transistor.fm/s/d27a3a69 We all know goal setting is important, but are you setting goals that are truly aligned with the life you want to create?


In this episode of The Full Circle Podcast, Gillian breaks down the difference between setting goals for the sake of achievement and setting goals that are rooted in purpose, identity, and long-term alignment.


You’ll learn how to move beyond vague intentions and create short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals, supported by simple, sustainable routines. You'll also explore the power of identity-based goals and how visualising your future self can help you stay motivated, even when it’s tough.


If you're ready to go beyond vision boards and actually build the structure that supports your transformation - this episode is your next step.


What You’ll Learn in This Episode:


🌀Why your goals must align with your values and purpose

🌀How to set short, medium, and long-term goals without overwhelm

🌀The truth about motivation vs. discipline — and how to build consistency

🌀Why routines create freedom (not restriction)

🌀How to stay accountable using personalised structures

🌀What identity-based goals are — and why they’re transformative

🌀The role of rest and recovery in long-term success


Powerful Takeaway:


 ✨“Focus on becoming the person who naturally achieves your goals, rather than obsessing over the outcomes.”


Reflection Questions:


 💭 What is the deeper purpose behind your current goals?
 💭 What daily routines support the version of yourself you want to become?
 💭 How can you honour rest as a vital part of your growth?

Have you ever felt like you didn’t deserve your success? Like you’ve been faking it and any moment someone will find out? You're not alone. And more importantly - you are not a fraud.

Gillian explores the roots of imposter syndrome, the culture of perfectionism that fuels it, and how we can begin to rewrite the inner dialogue that tells us we’re not good enough.

This episode is your reminder that your worth is not defined by your achievements - and that taking yourself seriously is a radical and essential act of self-trust.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

🌀 What imposter syndrome is and why it shows up (even for high achievers)

🌀 The link between perfectionism and self-doubt

🌀 How to shift from conditional self-worth to unconditional self-acceptance

🌀 Practical tools to challenge your inner critic, including the “Brag File” technique

🌀 Why connection and vulnerability are key to dismantling imposter syndrome

🌀 How to reframe self-talk and build a more compassionate inner voice

🌀 A powerful mantra to help you step into your worth


Reflection Questions to Consider:

 💭 What would your future self say to you today?
 💭 Where in your life are you downplaying your potential?
 💭 How would you show up differently if you truly believed you belonged?

Powerful Reminder from This Episode:
✨ “Acknowledging your achievements isn’t arrogance — it’s self-recognition.”

🌀Why the journey is about progress — not perfection.


Reflection Questions to Consider:

Quotes
 

'When everything crashed, the recession in full force, my marriage broken, to the point of no return, my business went into liquidation and everything I had known was taken away from me. I have described this as being lost out at sea. And in those moments, I had a choice of sinking or swimming. For me, there was no choice really.' - 00:56

‘I've come back home to my true self. I've learned to befriend myself and I am now.  One I can rely on anytime. I've let go of my critical companion and the narrative that said I was not worthy, not good enough, not deserving of true happiness and deep contentment. Not deserving of love for myself. I've moved beyond my past conditioning and the things that have held me back.’ – 09:33

Quotes
 

“Your movement is a reflection of what's going on inside you. How you have shown up for that day, your behaviour, your emotional state, your belief system.” - 18:18

 

“I have always had a bit of self-doubt around myself. About where I am and what I can do. And I kind of thought, well, what if I can do an Ironman? That's going to make me feel a certain way. I'll feel good enough after it. I’ll feel like I've really accomplished something.” -27:02

 

“I try and see the actual Ironman itself as a celebration of the year of the training.” - 28:53

 

“If you're doing things that appear like self-compassion, you know, ‘I’m not going to train today. I'm going to be kind to myself’, and you do it every day - in the end, you're not actually being that compassionate to yourself.” - 39:18

“If you're doing things that appear like self-compassion, you know, ‘I’m not going to train today. I'm going to be kind to myself’, and you do it every day - in the end, you're not actually being that compassionate to yourself.” - 39:18

Quotes
 

‘Growth essentially is about exposing ourselves to a small piece of stress and then resting and adapting. But if we're constantly exposing ourselves to stress with no rest, then something breaks.’ - 22:22 

 

‘I'm a big believer of balance across the board. And if we're spending too much energy and too much time in one area, we're definitely going to lack in others.’ - 24:51

 

‘You're stressed out? Well just try and wake up a little earlier and sit on the mat and meditate for 10 minutes. That's going to be great. But if you've got a major issue within your life or major piece that is out of alignment, meditating is not going to fix that.” - 30:09

What defines him? 

What gets in his way of being his true self? 

And how can he bridge the gap between the two?

 

Today, Ben joins me to discuss the profound journey he has taken; 

 

from shedding the mask he wore for years to passionately guiding others on their self-discovery journeys and removing a few systemic barriers along the way. 

 

Ready to live life on your own terms? 

 

Tune in and explore the empowering insights that will inspire your unique journey.

 

 

Quotes

“The work that I do now is kind of an extension of the work I've done on myself in self-discovery and reflecting back on my life and how I've got to where I am now in my 40th year, going what's made me who I am, what gets in the way of me being my true self and kind of bridging the gap between that.” – 02:15

 

“In 2020 we had the murder of George Floyd…and for me personally, it made me take a real look at myself and actually go, I know so little about this conversation…” – 03:58

 

“I'd gone through my entire childhood and teenage years with even the word ‘gay’ being used as a slur. So I had to hide that side of me, when I didn't even understand it myself or articulate what it meant.” – 07:39

 

“It's exhausting though, because you are putting yourself in situations of vulnerability. Regardless of whether it's work or life, you need to feel safe enough to do that. S I always say, if it doesn't feel like a safe environment, then think about whether it is the right space to share openly about things.” – 29:04

]]> transformation, self-help, full circle, personal development, coaching, authenticity No Finding Connection After Feeling Lost with Jennillee Cabellon 7 7 Finding Connection After Feeling Lost with Jennillee Cabellon full a44d371a-5daa-4d23-a3e3-4dd3dfc6818a https://share.transistor.fm/s/d68ca778 In this inspiring episode of The Full Circle Podcast, I sit down with the incredible Jennillee, a woman whose life journey has taken her from the Philippines to the United Kingdom, and from feeling like an outsider to becoming a beacon of hope for those struggling with similar challenges.

 

Throughout her life, Jennillee grappled with the struggle to fit in and find her place in the world. Her journey was marked by moments of self-discovery and the painful realisation that sometimes, trying too hard to fit in can lead to losing touch with one's true self. It's a story that many of us can relate to – the longing to belong and the price we sometimes pay to chase that sense of acceptance.

 

Today, Jennillee has harnessed her own experiences to help others navigate the turbulent waters of self-discovery. Drawing from her own journey of self-acceptance and resilience, she has become an advocate for those who feel like outsiders, offering them a safe space to embrace their uniqueness and share their stories.

 

Join me for this deeply moving episode as Jennillee shares her personal journey of self-discovery, the challenges she faced, and the wisdom she gained along the way. 

 

Quotes

]]> In this inspiring episode of The Full Circle Podcast, I sit down with the incredible Jennillee, a woman whose life journey has taken her from the Philippines to the United Kingdom, and from feeling like an outsider to becoming a beacon of hope for those struggling with similar challenges.

 

Throughout her life, Jennillee grappled with the struggle to fit in and find her place in the world. Her journey was marked by moments of self-discovery and the painful realisation that sometimes, trying too hard to fit in can lead to losing touch with one's true self. It's a story that many of us can relate to – the longing to belong and the price we sometimes pay to chase that sense of acceptance.

 

Today, Jennillee has harnessed her own experiences to help others navigate the turbulent waters of self-discovery. Drawing from her own journey of self-acceptance and resilience, she has become an advocate for those who feel like outsiders, offering them a safe space to embrace their uniqueness and share their stories.

 

Join me for this deeply moving episode as Jennillee shares her personal journey of self-discovery, the challenges she faced, and the wisdom she gained along the way.

]]> transformation, self-help, full circle, personal development, coaching, authenticity No The Importance of Being Heard with Dr Trudi Taylor 7 7 The Importance of Being Heard with Dr Trudi Taylor full 7c8fde1f-cb2c-49f6-88e7-44c62e06f65d https://share.transistor.fm/s/e37e81fd Dr Trudi Taylor, Executive Coach and founder of IslandB joins me on this episode of The Full Circle Podcast to discuss the vital importance of being heard. 

 

Throughout Trudi’s childhood and into early adulthood, she was faced with the reality that while people may have been listening to her, they weren’t understanding what she was trying to communicate – they weren’t HEARING her. This resulted in Trudi suppressing trauma, acting out of frustration, and being treated as “difficult” when all she needed was to be heard. 

 

Now, after delving deep into the root cause of her trauma and working to uncover the obstacles that have held her back, Trudi uses her experience to support leaders in becoming more effective through improved emotional intelligence and connection with those they lead teams to become high performing through trust, healthy conflict, and attention to results, and she helps organisations equip their people to create and sustain ambitious goals. 

 

Trudi joins me in the studio to discuss the importance of being heard and hearing the people around us, how not being heard and understood manifests later in life, and how she overcame the mental and physical effects of being misunderstood since childhood.

]]> transformation, self-help, full circle, personal development, coaching, authenticity No Healing Trauma & Living Your Truth with Megan Cooper 7 7 Healing Trauma & Living Your Truth with Megan Cooper full 62fe4477-7053-40e6-9174-7acab0386e34 https://share.transistor.fm/s/b735f3e1 In this episode of the Full Circle Podcast, I am joined by Megan Cooper, a Holistic Health Coach, EFT practitioner and space-holder based in Brighton, UK. In 2015, Megan made the brave decision to leave her corporate career in London and moved to Australia to teach yoga. While there, away from her family and friends, Megan was diagnosed with a hormone imbalance which prompted her to begin healing her body naturally, the success of which led her to study Holistic Health and Nutrition to help others do the same.

 

Megan continues to deepen the way she works with clients, using EFT and Matrix Reimprinting to transform subconscious beliefs, trauma, and the way we see and experience the world: healing the past to interrupt the present and change possibility for the future.

 

Megan joins me in studio to discuss the importance of identifying the root cause of trauma and illness, the impact of trusting your internal compass, and how you can live a fulfilling life that is true to who you are.   

 

 

Quotes

“I felt this deadening inside myself, and it wasn’t really about the job because lots of people worked in that industry and were perfectly happy. But it was just about me and it not being my authentic place in the world.”  - 09:12

 

“I decided to treat myself holistically and naturally… I did a bit of inventory of the past decade of my life…I basically spent the last 10 years of my life drinking, smoking, taking drugs, partying, not getting much sleep, working in a job that I didn’t like… I wonder what would happen if I just did all of the opposite things…” - 22:57

 

“I went to go and have rescans, and about 18 months later they said ‘You have completely reversed your condition’ which is pretty unbelievable.” - 26:19

 

“I understood the success I had of doing what I was doing, but I didn’t understand HOW I’d done it. So that inspired me to go and study holistic health and nutrition.” - 26:56

 

“I only go wrong when I ignore my own internal compass” - 31:00

 

“That’s where the real liberation lies…as soon as we can bring things back to the root cause rather than chipping away at the edges.” - 37:25

]]> In this episode of the Full Circle Podcast, I am joined by Megan Cooper, a Holistic Health Coach, EFT practitioner and space-holder based in Brighton, UK. In 2015, Megan made the brave decision to leave her corporate career in London and moved to Australia to teach yoga. While there, away from her family and friends, Megan was diagnosed with a hormone imbalance which prompted her to begin healing her body naturally, the success of which led her to study Holistic Health and Nutrition to help others do the same.

 

Megan continues to deepen the way she works with clients, using EFT and Matrix Reimprinting to transform subconscious beliefs, trauma, and the way we see and experience the world: healing the past to interrupt the present and change possibility for the future.

 

Megan joins me in studio to discuss the importance of identifying the root cause of trauma and illness, the impact of trusting your internal compass, and how you can live a fulfilling life that is true to who you are.   

 

 

Quotes

“I felt this deadening inside myself, and it wasn’t really about the job because lots of people worked in that industry and were perfectly happy. But it was just about me and it not being my authentic place in the world.”  - 09:12

 

“I decided to treat myself holistically and naturally… I did a bit of inventory of the past decade of my life…I basically spent the last 10 years of my life drinking, smoking, taking drugs, partying, not getting much sleep, working in a job that I didn’t like… I wonder what would happen if I just did all of the opposite things…” - 22:57

 

“I went to go and have rescans, and about 18 months later they said ‘You have completely reversed your condition’ which is pretty unbelievable.” - 26:19

 

“I understood the success I had of doing what I was doing, but I didn’t understand HOW I’d done it. So that inspired me to go and study holistic health and nutrition.” - 26:56

 

“I only go wrong when I ignore my own internal compass” - 31:00

 

“That’s where the real liberation lies…as soon as we can bring things back to the root cause rather than chipping away at the edges.” - 37:25

With a career spanning 25+ years and 6 countries, Julia is an ICF-certified Executive and Leadership Coach who works with leaders to own their voice and amplify their impact. She helps her clients develop the behaviours, relationships, and cognitive skills needed to identify their unique leadership style, overcome limiting beliefs, own their voice, build resilience and adaptability, and ultimately maximise their impact. 

 

Julia joins me to discuss the importance of communication, why understanding your values and emotions is essential to knowing yourself, and how you can make the choice to discover who you truly are.  

 

Quotes

“It’s just incredible how you can grow up to be so emotionally intelligent when you started with tools, and you communicated from day one” - 09:00 

 

“Leadership IS communication. It’s communication with your team and it’s communication with yourself.” - 09:28

 

“If everything is anger, you’re going to react the same way every time. If it’s disillusionment or skepticism, which are both in the anger family, those are very different. So, you’re going to act differently.” - 16:40

 

“The most effective leaders are the ones who are in the self-authoring mind.” - 27:43

But what she thought was going to be the end of her life as she knew it, became the beginning of a transformative journey that uncovered her purpose.

 

Now, as a fully accredited ICF ACTP Personal Transformation Coach, Angela joins me to discuss how she overcame the challenges she faced and how she uses her lessons to empower her clients to embrace menopause and unlock a world of liberation and a vibrant new chapter. 

 

Quotes

“My extent of knowing what menopause was, was that your period stopped, you’ll probably get some hot flushes, and you were probably going to be in your 50s” - 08:37

 

“All my doubts that I had throughout my 20’s and 30’s, perimenopause was just exacerbating.” - 10:55

 

“At one point I honestly thought, ‘Am I getting dementia?’ … because my brain fog - my memory function - just disappeared.” - 11:11

 

“When you’re trying to hold down a big corporate job, you can’t show that weakness.” - 12:52

 

“Our bodies are trying to help us. Lots of people think our bodies are trying to punish us… but it’s trying to help us recognise that something isn’t right and we need to do something about it.” - 18:03

 

“A lot of women that are doing the research for themselves might know more than their GP does.” - 19:36

]]> Mon, 14 Aug 2023 04:00:00 +0100 Gillian McMichael Gillian McMichael 2370 In this episode of the Full Circle Podcast, I am joined by Angela Wilkins-Green who, at the age of 42, felt her world begin to crumble when she confronted the unexpected onset of perimenopause. But what she thought was going to be the end of her life as she knew it, became the beginning of a transformative journey that uncovered her purpose.

 

Now, as a fully accredited ICF ACTP Personal Transformation Coach, Angela joins me to discuss how she overcame the challenges she faced and how she uses her lessons to empower her clients to embrace menopause and unlock a world of liberation and a vibrant new chapter. 

 

Quotes

“My extent of knowing what menopause was, was that your period stopped, you’ll probably get some hot flushes, and you were probably going to be in your 50s” - 08:37

 

“All my doubts that I had throughout my 20’s and 30’s, perimenopause was just exacerbating.” - 10:55

 

“At one point I honestly thought, ‘Am I getting dementia?’ … because my brain fog - my memory function - just disappeared.” - 11:11

 

“When you’re trying to hold down a big corporate job, you can’t show that weakness.” - 12:52

 

“Our bodies are trying to help us. Lots of people think our bodies are trying to punish us… but it’s trying to help us recognise that something isn’t right and we need to do something about it.” - 18:03

 

“A lot of women that are doing the research for themselves might know more than their GP does.” - 19:36

Anne-Louise specialises in improving the lives of women by guiding them to connect with their true and higher selves. She has a profound connection with The Universe and she uses this to help her clients release emotions from their past and consciously create the life they have always wanted.  

 

Anne-Louise joins me to discuss the transformational journey she took to discover and live her purpose, how she uses her gift to teach others to do the same, and how you can start trusting your intuition and opening the doorway to your own purpose. 

 

Quotes

“I felt like I had been split in two. I felt raw, vulnerable… someone was seeing me – I was seeing me – for the very first time.” – 05:46

 

“Our intuition doesn’t always give us things that are easy to do. It will often guide us to do things that are totally out of our comfort zone. But it’s always right.” – 07:52

 

“We’re living a human existence. That has fear and emotions and vulnerability.” – 17:52

 

“All the time you’re waiting for that external validation, you’re giving your power away.” – 20:08

 

“One of the biggest shifts was putting myself first… When I started doing things for me, my relationships completely changed.” – 23:00

 

“Draw a line and say – yes that’s happened to me, but this is me moving forward. What relationship do I want with myself and who is the truest version of me?” – 26:10

Quotes

“I feel lots of people don’t feel safe when stepping outside – but I do. There were arguments at home between my parents and I found that really difficult. Taking my dog Ben for a walk enabled me to essentially meditate in that space. No matter what was going on at home…I was just in the fields with my dog.” - 05:40

 

“It’s a place where you are not judged. There’s just the breeze, the trees, the squirrels, and the raccoons. You can speak out loud, you can walk, you can whistle, you can sing, you can scream, you can cry. That space is held for you.” – 08:36

“I take executives away from their everyday offices, and I believe that we get to them, to their truth, insights, the shift, the ease, the calmness, the clarity, quicker, when we are outside.” – 30:15

“Nature is restorative, I believe, and we are genetically attuned to being there, and there is theory after theory of reasons why.” – 38:30

During our conversation, Bev shares her transformational journey and the crucial steps you need to take to create a solid financial strategy.

Join us as we explore how to kick shame to the curb and develop a healthy, positive relationship with our finances.

]]> personal branding, brand, futurist, trend forecasting No A Guide to Authentic Leadership with CMO & Mentor Dionne Aiken 6 6 A Guide to Authentic Leadership with CMO & Mentor Dionne Aiken full 7e329a67-e9e4-4129-a4db-97ddce4f4970 https://share.transistor.fm/s/a155fe52 There has been a lot of progress when it comes to gender equality, but the truth is women still face obstacles when it comes to reaching executive positions. Join me as I chat with Dionne Aiken, the Chief Marketing Officer of a major global organisation, to talk about her journey as a successful female leader. Although in 2023 only nine women are leading FTSE 100 companies, Dionne has managed to break through the glass ceiling and reach the top of her industry.

In this episode, Dionne shares interesting insights on leadership, juggling family and professional life, and what it takes to successfully navigate a leading global organisation. Dionne also discusses the importance of female empowerment, how a family-first leadership style promotes inclusivity, and how you can improve your leadership skills. So, if you’d like to learn from an award-winning and inspiring female leader, don't miss this episode!

 

Quotes

 

“I guess in terms of my journey I wanted to empower other women… I just wanted to ensure that I’d walked the walk before I could help others.” – 02:38

“Life balance, I think, right now, is about work-life integration.” – 12:13

‘’I work really hard to ensure that my team feels safe being parents and that they are able to say, ‘my child is sick’ and know that they’ll be met with, ‘that’s okay’. I think it’s very important to be inclusive and create an environment where people feel safe.’’ -15:25

‘’If we look at the FTSE 500, there are 47 female CEOs - 2 of whom are black – and so as a percentage that’s 9.4% women, and 0.04 black female CEOs. And if we move to the FTSE 100 there are 9 female CEOs and 0 black women. That’s a problem. But it’s so easy for us to say ‘gender parity’ and ‘let’s uplift each other’ and say men need to join us on the journey, but oftentimes there’s a conversation to be had about women supporting women.” – 20:56

]]> Mon, 20 Mar 2023 04:00:00 +0000 Gillian McMichael Gillian McMichael 2644 There has been a lot of progress when it comes to gender equality, but the truth is women still face obstacles when it comes to reaching executive positions. Join me as I chat with Dionne Aiken, the Chief Marketing Officer of a major global organisation, to talk about her journey as a successful female leader. Although in 2023 only nine women are leading FTSE 100 companies, Dionne has managed to break through the glass ceiling and reach the top of her industry.

In this episode, Dionne shares interesting insights on leadership, juggling family and professional life, and what it takes to successfully navigate a leading global organisation. Dionne also discusses the importance of female empowerment, how a family-first leadership style promotes inclusivity, and how you can improve your leadership skills. So, if you’d like to learn from an award-winning and inspiring female leader, don't miss this episode!

 

Quotes

 

“I guess in terms of my journey I wanted to empower other women… I just wanted to ensure that I’d walked the walk before I could help others.” – 02:38

“Life balance, I think, right now, is about work-life integration.” – 12:13

‘’I work really hard to ensure that my team feels safe being parents and that they are able to say, ‘my child is sick’ and know that they’ll be met with, ‘that’s okay’. I think it’s very important to be inclusive and create an environment where people feel safe.’’ -15:25

‘’If we look at the FTSE 500, there are 47 female CEOs - 2 of whom are black – and so as a percentage that’s 9.4% women, and 0.04 black female CEOs. And if we move to the FTSE 100 there are 9 female CEOs and 0 black women. That’s a problem. But it’s so easy for us to say ‘gender parity’ and ‘let’s uplift each other’ and say men need to join us on the journey, but oftentimes there’s a conversation to be had about women supporting women.” – 20:56

]]> career, purpose, job-seeker, jobs, recruitment, careers coach No Representation, Diversity & Racial Justice With Dr Mena Fombo 6 6 Representation, Diversity & Racial Justice With Dr Mena Fombo full 5c6be110-486c-47bd-a250-f5fe8aacc152 https://share.transistor.fm/s/230dabc3 In this episode, I have the honor of speaking with the amazing Dr Mena Fombo (hon), a visionary based in Bristol who wears many hats as a founder, film director, facilitator, and global speaker. Mena is a highly respected advocate for equality and diversity, and the creator of Black Girl Convention, a movement dedicated to providing a sense of community for African and Caribbean women by promoting, shaping, and embracing the black girl experience.

 

In our enlightening conversation, Mena shares her journey from playing semi-professional American football to becoming a champion for racial justice and social change. She emphasizes the significance of black-led spaces, self-acceptance, and the impact of her widely-acclaimed TEDx Talk, "No. You Cannot Touch My Hair." We also delve into the importance of teamwork, strong relationships, and building a supportive network.

 

Quotes

 

“Just by doing the TEDTalk, hair was an easy way to talk about racism, microaggressions, and unconscious bias, and all the different strands of racism we see today that are quite commonplace.” – 11:15

 

“It’s been part of my lived experience from childhood to always be the person flying the flag against racism.” – 12:22

 

“Even within that wider Team GB network at that time, sexism and racism were still prevalent…and I’m still having to bite my tongue because my coach is sexist and I want to be picked for the team.” – 13:08

 

“I think probably being black and being female meant nothing was handed to me on a plate. I had to go out and make things happen.“ – 21:20

 

“Sometimes you can find motivation by showing up for others if that’s all you’ve got in the tank. And that comes from playing sport – you can’t let the team down.” – 24:53

 

“The most meaningful transformation was coming into wearing my natural hair. My hair was such a big thing for me; it dictated so much of my life."– 42:20

Despite being a successful business owner, award-winning motivational speaker and ICF qualified coach, Lucy has been plagued with feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. We discuss her first encounter with impostor syndrome, the support she sought, the pivotal moment of change, and the three key principles she believes can silence your inner critic. Lucy also shares her insights on the Havening method and how she overcame feelings of shame. I was deeply inspired by her unwavering commitment to self-improvement, and I’m sure you will find her practical tips helpful for overcoming your own feelings of insecurity.

 

Quotes

 

“As I stood up…I could feel my knees start to shake, I could feel the sweat running down my back, I felt out of body, and halfway through…I froze. I couldn’t speak, and my hands began to shake uncontrollably with the microphone in it.” – 07:08

 

“In those moments of any form of intimacy, in any situation, I couldn’t function. It was a sense of absolute detachment.” – 08:03

 

“During the reiki experience, all I could feel was weeds being pulled from my throat.”- 10:40

 

“The great thing about shame is that once it’s brought out into the light, it doesn’t survive.” – 21:02

 

“Self-esteem is an act.” – 24:25

 

“Something that brings me joy, something that brings me pleasure and something that brings me back to myself are amazing for dialing down imposter syndrome.” – 26:07

]]> Mon, 20 Feb 2023 05:00:00 +0000 Gillian McMichael Gillian McMichael 108 Welcome back to Season 6 of the Full Circle podcast. This season, we are in studio, having meaningful in-person conversations.

You can expect real, honest and purposeful conversations with women who have overcome challenges and experienced transformational moments, taking them to a new place of awareness, understanding and truth.

Part of what I do in my work as a Master Coach and Transformational Wellness expert is discuss identity, and how important it is for individuals to explore who they are. One of the most common questions I get is "How can I feel like me again?" and it’s a tough question to answer. That because when you've lost sight of who you really are, it can often feel impossible to find your way back. In this episode, I propose another question – which, when answered honestly - will serve as the foundation for finding your way back to your authentic self. Tune in and let me guide you to finding the TRUE answer. Once you have the answer, then you can move onto step 2.

In this episode I’ll help you connect with your passions by encouraging you to look outwards. This is an important part of finding your purpose as it helps you understand what brings you joy, satisfaction and fulfillment. As we move through step 4, I ask you: “what would you do if you could do anything?” This is a very powerful question and if you were to ask yourself this question it will give you a very clear indication or idea of what brings you the most joy in your life, what gives your life meaning. To answer this question, iI encourage you to consider these questions:

  1. What makes you feel good?
  2. What makes you laugh?
  3. What excites you?
  4. What would you regret not trying?
  5. What would you like to do if you could do anything?

Now that there is space in your backpack, it’s time to fill it up with the things that bring a smile to your face. Once you a reminded of what brings you joy, you can move onto step 5.

This episode is all about radical self-care, healing, and the four cornerstones of wellness: the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. That's because honouring your body, mind, and soul is the secret to taking care of the whole of you. If you can master the four cornerstones of wellness you can move from a place of ‘doing’ to a place of ‘being’. In this episode, we explore the four cornerstones of wellness, the importance of implementing a wellness strategy and the universal law of giving and receiving. I also share how I developed my own routine in line with each of the four cornerstones of wellness and invite you to reflect on what you need to do or change to have greater balance, a joyful energetic body, a compassionate, loving heart, and a lightness of being.

This season is different from the previous four, as I am flying solo for the first time! You won’t be hearing conversations with guests this season; instead, you’ll be taken on a guided journey back home to your true, authentic self.

This 7-part series is inspired by my favourite lessons from my book, “Coming Home: A Guide To Being Your True Self.” In each episode, you will be given practical tips that will help you live a life that is true to yourself. As you listen to each episode, I encourage you to have real, honest and purposeful conversations with yourself. This journey requires commitment and determination, so I invite you to connect with me on Instagram (@the.master.coach) or on LinkedIn and share feedback on your personal journey - I would be delighted to hear from you. My hope for this season is that you walk away knowing that anything is possible when you connect with the whole of you: mind, body and spirit.

You won’t be hearing conversations with guests this season; instead, you’ll be taken on a guided journey back home to your true, authentic self. This 7-part series is inspired by my favourite lessons from my book, “Coming Home: A Guide To Being Your True Self.” In each episode, you will be given practical tips that will help you live a life that is true to yourself. As you listen to each episode, I encourage you to have real, honest and purposeful conversations with yourself. This journey requires commitment and determination, so I invite you to connect with me on Instagram (@the.master.coach) or on LinkedIn and share feedback on your personal journey - I would be delighted to hear from you. My hope for this season is that you walk away knowing that anything is possible when you connect with the whole of you: mind, body and spirit. Hello and welcome back to season five of the Full Circle podcast! This season is different from the previous four, as I am flying solo for the first time! You won’t be hearing conversations with guests this season; instead, you’ll be taken on a guided jou transformation, self-help, full circle, personal development, coaching, authenticity No Step 2: Learning To Speak Your Truth & Live It Daily 5 5 Step 2: Learning To Speak Your Truth & Live It Daily full 7bc7404c-5c1d-46bb-967e-30d5263e31c6 https://share.transistor.fm/s/9bad542f When we experience inner conflict, it’s important to understand what the root cause of that conflict is. In my professional experience, the biggest roadblocks to being our true selves are people-pleasing and the need to fit in – but it’s important to understand exactly what is preventing YOU from being your most authentic self, as the answer is unique to each person. In this episode, we touch on the three conditions of being your true self: understanding your truth, speaking your truth and living your truth. There are four questions that I urge you to answer out loud to understand and speak your truth: 

 

1.     Being true to myself will mean ________

2.     If I am true to myself, I could ________

3.     If I were true to myself, I would let go of ________

4.     How would being true to myself change my life?

 

In order to LIVE your truth you need to come back to these questions, read the answers out loud every day, and make sure your actions are aligned to them. Once you have completed this step, you can move onto step 3.

Have you ever thought about it before? For most of my adult life, I hadn't. As I grew older a few questions would pop up again and again: Who am I? What do I want? What is my purpose? In this episode, we explore those questions, and how you can answer them for yourself. This episode focuses on how we can connect with our purpose, and why it’s important to do so. I share how I discovered my purpose and I'll guide you through a short meditation to help you connect with your higher self to determine your very own purpose statement.

Be prepared to answer these questions:

1. Who am I?
2. What do I want?
3. What is my purpose?

Once you have declared what your purpose is and begin to walk your path, you'll find the worry, frustration, and inner conflict that you've been experiencing will drift away.

Each week, we've taken a journey inward, going as far into our consciousness as possible, and looking at all the obstacles that stand between us and our true selves. In this episode, we reflect upon our journey over the past six episodes, review the lessons and insights and look at what’s next for you and your future. The purpose of reflecting is not to gain a sense of arrogance about how far you’ve come, but to simply acknowledge that we're always evolving—and there's no better reminder than thinking about where you were at the beginning of this series. If you’d like to continue your personal journey to reconnect, rediscover and reaffirm who you are, I invite you to explore one of my personal development retreats happening in Majorca, Spain in May and June 2023. There are more details at www.fullcircle.com.

Until then, stay well and invite joy and curiosity into your life.

“I was surrounded by incense sticks, tarot cards, meditation, mantras, mudras, reiki healing…and in a way, I tried to block it. I was just a teenager, and I was embarrassed that my mom was doing things differently than other people.” [03:12]

 

“I was seeking. I was incomplete. There was something internal, pulling me toward a calling. I was looking for something to make me feel alive and complete…” [05:31]

 

“There is a divine timing when you are where you are supposed to be, at the place you are supposed to be.” [08:10]

“You’re able to see the chakras, but not with your two eyes – only with the third eye.” [34:28]

 

“We are not here to save the world; we are here to save ourselves.” [41:30]

And sometimes it’s downright messy – they’re older, married with kids, or simply unable to accept their truth. Whatever the case may be - coming out can be difficult, confusing and painful.

My next guest is Melisa Raney - a mother and advocate for coming out. At 36, Melisa slowly began to question her sexuality.

Today, she is making, what she calls, her ‘mess’ her message: sharing her experience to guide others through the difficult process of coming out later in life.

It is no easy feat, but as Melisa teaches us: when you live your life authentically, you begin to live your life unapologetically.

This week’s guest is Joe Powell-Main, Wales’ first professional ballet dancer with a disability. An injury early on in his dance career changed the way he would perform ballet forever. But being in a wheelchair didn’t change his love for dance and he has used his disability to enable and inspire others in the ballet and dance world.  

What I learned in this episode is that no matter where life takes you, there is joy in embracing a life that is unexpected. And that when curveballs hit, it’s normal to feel anger, fear, or sadness - but with the right mindset, facing your new circumstances can bring you one step closer to discovering your purpose.

 

 

Quotes

 

“It’s dancing but just in another way… because I hadn’t really seen dancers using wheelchairs.” [16:58]

 

“Even though I had a disability, I had differing abilities to a standing dancer and they are just as valid and should be celebrated just as much.” [27:11]

 

“The biggest setback can also be the greatest strength.” [33:40]

This week’s guest is Joe Powell-Main, Wales’ first professional ballet dancer with a disability. An injury early on in his dance career changed the way he would perform ballet forever. But being in a wheelchair didn’t change his love for dance and he has used his disability to enable and inspire others in the ballet and dance world. What I learned in this episode is that no matter where life takes you, there is joy in embracing a life that is unexpected. And that when curveballs hit, it’s normal to feel anger, fear, or sadness - but with the right mindset, facing your new circumstances can bring you one step closer to discovering your purpose.

Lipska full 949cb468-7435-44a5-974d-412727b4cced https://share.transistor.fm/s/e1fafd70 The saying ‘I’m losing my mind’ couldn’t be truer for my next guest. This week I am speaking with Barbara K. Lipska, a Neuroscientist who was diagnosed in 2015 with metastatic melanoma in her brain’s frontal lobe. As the cancer progressed and was treated, she experienced behavioural and cognitive symptoms connected to a range of mental disorders, including dementia and her professional specialty, schizophrenia. Gradually, after a course of immunotherapy, Barbara returned to normal functioning and amazingly recalled her experience – even writing a memoir entitled ‘The Neuroscientist who Lost her Mind: My Tale of Madness And Recovery’.

 

A tale like no other— I am honoured to speak with Barbara about returning home to her true self after her brush with insanity.

For today’s guest, her unexpected struggle with multiple postpartum mood disorders forced her to reexamine everything she thought she knew about becoming a mother. Emily Phelps, a Prenatal, Birth & Postpartum Doula, joins me to discuss her personal struggle following the birth of her son, the loss of identity that new mothers experience, and why we need to normalize the wide range of responses we have after childbirth. 

 

Quotes

 

“I had postpartum depression, anxiety, postpartum onset OCD, and birth trauma so I would joke that I had the trail mix of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders because I had all of them.”  [04:25]

 

“I had a healthy baby, and I was fine…but in the months following his birth, I didn’t feel really connected to him.” [07:45]

 

“I felt emotionally evaporated. There was nothing left.” [10:38]

 

“If I had a good day, I felt like I imagined the whole thing. On my good days, I would gaslight my reality with the bad days.” [13:30]

 

“The village that surrounds us is a huge piece of what allows us to find our way back home.” [18:04]

 

“We are not good about honouring that an immense experience has happened that has a hugely acceptable range of emotional responses. It does not have to be all happy.”  [18:12]

 

“People feel like they are defective. [They think] “What am I doing wrong? I’m not a good parent, I’m not a good mom, or dad, or partner. I’m not able to do it right. It’s me.” And it is not true. [20:36]

“I had postpartum depression, anxiety, postpartum onset OCD, and birth trauma so I would joke that I had the trail mix of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders because I had all of them.”  [04:25]

 

“I had a healthy baby, and I was fine…but in the months following his birth, I didn’t feel really connected to him.” [07:45]

 

“I felt emotionally evaporated. There was nothing left.” [10:38]

 

“If I had a good day, I felt like I imagined the whole thing. On my good days, I would gaslight my reality with the bad days.” [13:30]

 

“The village that surrounds us is a huge piece of what allows us to find our way back home.” [18:04]

 

“We are not good about honouring that an immense experience has happened that has a hugely acceptable range of emotional responses. It does not have to be all happy.”  [18:12]

 

“People feel like they are defective. [They think] “What am I doing wrong? I’m not a good parent, I’m not a good mom, or dad, or partner. I’m not able to do it right. It’s me.” And it is not true. [20:36]

And, just like a birth, it is smoother when we are prepared for it. Not that we can control the dying process, but there is a lot we can do to make the final stages of life more meaningful and peaceful. To discuss the end-of-life process, I am speaking with Janie Rakow, the co-founder of Farewell Doula. As an End of Life Doula, she journeys with the dying person and their loved ones through the end-of-life process. She fills the gaps in hospice care and helps create legacies, memories, conduct rituals, plan vigils and create guided visualizations. In this episode, we discuss how to bring more meaning and less suffering to the end of life, and ways of bringing dignity and care to death.

“Being different, you know as adults we tell kids its okay to be different because truly it should be okay, but in certain phases of your life it’s really not okay – that’s the reality. That’s the reality we aspire to that it’s okay to be different, but it’s not.” [8:38- 8:57]

“It’s like the bullying and the OCD joined forces, very strongly in my life and really tore my life completely apart.” [16:53-16:55]

Highlights

“I had the choice of staying with the law firm in D.C. by myself, or accompanying my husband overseas to his first assignment – and so I chose the latter.” [5:31-5:42]

“I started to kind of get into a rhythm and knew generally what to expect on a day-to-day basis and really then, that’s when it started to sink in, that’s when I started to feel as though I had left something behind and that I had potentially sacrificed my career and my professional identity to follow my husband overseas.” [7:22-7:40]

“A lot of us who move around as often as I have begin to view our careers as almost like patchworks of seemingly unrelated experiences” [10:58-11:12]

“One of the women looked at me, and just stopped me in my track and said ‘well, Laura, if you could do anything what would it be?’ and the questions blew my mind.” [15:27-15:38]

“The greatest gift I think I’ve received from this part of the journey is exactly what I wanted it to be – helping other people recognize their inherent value, see that all the things that they have been doing mean something and have been moving them forward.” [22:17-22:34]

Highlights

“I had the choice of staying with the law firm in D.C. by myself, or accompanying my husband overseas to his first assignment – and so I chose the latter.” [5:31-5:42]

“I started to kind of get into a rhythm and knew generally what to expect on a day-to-day basis and really then, that’s when it started to sink in, that’s when I started to feel as though I had left something behind and that I had potentially sacrificed my career and my professional identity to follow my husband overseas.” [7:22-7:40]

“A lot of us who move around as often as I have begin to view our careers as almost like patchworks of seemingly unrelated experiences” [10:58-11:12]

“One of the women looked at me, and just stopped me in my track and said ‘well, Laura, if you could do anything what would it be?’ and the questions blew my mind.” [15:27-15:38]

“The greatest gift I think I’ve received from this part of the journey is exactly what I wanted it to be – helping other people recognize their inherent value, see that all the things that they have been doing mean something and have been moving them forward.” [22:17-22:34]

Perfectionism is often viewed as a positive trait – but for those who identify as ‘perfectionists’ - it is far from a positive experience; high levels of stress, fear of failure and unrealistic expectations are just some of the signs of perfectionism, and if left unchecked, these traits can consume the life of the perfectionist.

My guest today is Natalie Orr, a Life Coach and professional dancer based in Madrid. Natalie has spoken openly about life as a self-confessed perfectionist, how she’s overcome some of her behaviours, and how she’s living a far more calm and balanced life as a result. In our conversation, she shares what this journey looked like for her and the advice she has for listeners who would like to put perfectionist tendencies behind them, too.

  • Impacts of ballet and dance on perfection are discussed. [10:50]

‘The line that you cross into perfectionism - it’s when you start to not be able to tolerate mistakes.” [4:17-4:23]

“You’re like: let me just be as perfect as possible to protect myself, to feel safe from other people’s judgements.” [9:13 - 9:24]

“Can I give myself permission to enjoy the process more? And then the question becomes: 'when I’m aligning with the process and not the goals, what does that look like?'” [20:06-20:19]

“Accepting that you’re not perfect but you’re enough…well, I have everything that I need.” [22:36-22:42]
