The Gift is in The Struggle with Fiona Redding
Happiness is the be found in the overcoming of obstacles and challenges in our lives, not in the absence of them.
It is though the obstacles and the challenges that we grow. It is though our struggles that we become more than who we are today, we learn things about ourselves, we let things go.
When we confront our challenges, when we face them. We feel the strength and gift of embracing the struggle.
In this episode of the podcast, I'm sharing the two significant gifts in embracing our struggles, emotional discomfort and triggers.

Going to Eleven with Fiona Redding
There’s a scene in the rockumentary ‘This is Spinal Tap’ where they have an amp. And because they are such a hardcore rock band, they have an amp that goes to 11.
But to get to eleven, you still need to start at one.
If we don’t start, if we don’t just pick up the guitar, metaphorically speaking, and have a go, then the amp is never, ever going to get to 11.
In this episode of the podcast, I'm sharing about how we self sabotage, how we stop ourselves from ever getting to 11 - either by never starting in the first place or putting the brakes on before we can get there.
Once we start anything, we begin to collect data. And we can review this data which provides a glimpse into ourselves - our patterns and our behaviour. And it is this awareness which gives us an opportunity to do things differently.
Let's allow ourselves to get to 11, whatever that means, and wherever that will take us.

Caring About Who You Are
What other people think about you, is none of your business.
But what you think about you. That is your business.
How you feel about yourself should not be determined by whether other people like you or not.
If you like yourself then it doesn’t matter what other people think about you - positively, negatively, good, bad, indifferent.
If you like yourself then you are friends with yourself. And if you are friends with yourself then you like and accept yourself, just as you are.
In this episode of the podcast (it's super short, and super sweet) you'll have an opportunity to reflect on the relationship you have with yourself, and how much you may be impacted by what you think the outside world thinks and feels about you.

The Problem and The Solution with Fiona Redding
The problem and the solution are two sides of the same coin.
When we can understand our problem, we can understand the solution.
Our problem with other people is nothing to do with them. It is 100% our problem.
We may know this.
But are we really living it? Are we embodying what we know? Am we honestly implementing it in our lives?
Truly, knowledge and awareness are nothing without understanding and action.
In this episode of the podcast, I am exploring this idea from another perspective, and I really encourage you to listen in. If you are the problem, and if you can completely accept that, then equally, you are also the solution.

Believing in Your Ideas with Fiona Redding
Ideas are great, but they need to be believed in 100% and they need to be executed thoughtfully, purposefully. It’s not just about chasing fame or money or anything like that. To me it’s to create something that lasts and that makes a difference. To believe in creating something of substance. And to be determined to make it happen, no matter the environment or challenges.
I’ve been reflecting a lot this week about putting out stuff of substance, really focusing on my contribution to the world. To be purposeful, and to strive for genuine connection.
In this episode I'm sharing examples of two different things I read recently - about Kate Bush making £250,000 a week from royalties of her song, Running Up That Hill. A song that she wrote, performed and produced. A song that was first released in 1985. And of the shifting landscape in the VC funding world, with less capital available to fund start-up ideas.
Do you believe in your idea(s) enough to make a go of them, regardless of the circumstances and the environment?

Gratitude Affirmations with Fiona Redding
Gratitude is so powerful because it shapes the way we see and experience the world: what we focus on expands. So the more we appreciate, the more we have to appreciate.
We tend to say thank you for things we have already received.
Affirmations are powerful in that they help guide our thinking and help us to get clear on and focus on what we want.
Combined, they are even more powerful. I like to think of them as gratitude affirmations.
In this episode of the podcast, you can practice saying thank you in advance, with gratitude for that which you are intending, knowing it’s already a done deal.

Speaking Words Wisely with Fiona Redding
How aware are you of the words that you speak?
What comes out of our mouth, often tells us a lot about what is going on inside.
What comes out of our mouth will also let us know a lot about what we can expect to happen.
What comes out of our mouth has the power to shape the future.
We need to learn how to use our words wisely.
Learning to tune in to the words we say, as we are speaking them, will help us to become more aware of what we think and believe, and when we are really tuned in, we will come to understand when what we say no longer serves us - and we can learn to think and then speak things differently.
In this episode, I'm sharing a few examples of how words become an instruction, and how we we can say it differently to create a better outcome.

The Dip with Fiona Redding
When we are working towards something - when we have a clear vision, direction, mission, purpose. We need to trust that what we are going through is exactly what we need to go through to get us to where we want to be. That we need to clear the clutter that is blocking our progress, to open up new channels of thinking, expand our knowledge and awareness.
It’s in the challenge or the struggle - otherwise known as The Dip or The Valley of Despair - that we learn stuff, we gain greater insight into ourselves, we get to know ourselves better and understand more.
The darkness is the contrast for the light and it gives us greater appreciation.
It’s very rarely easy. It often comes with pain.
But if we can hold the course, and not give up, not retreat but keep facing forward whatever the cost, then we will always come through the other side.
In this episode of the podcast, you'll gain a deeper insight into the process of change, and you'll know that you are not on your own.

The Higher and Lower Self with Fiona Redding
There are two versions in which we show up.
At our best, we are patient, loving, kind, courageous, forgiving, curious, and empathetic to the needs of others.
We have an attitude of learning and growth.
In our highest and best version of being, we value the self, know our worth, and contribute to life and others.
This is referred to as the higher self.
Showing up as your highest self means operating and living life in communication with a higher level of consciousness, without the restraints of limiting beliefs.
And then there is the other side of the coin.
In this state, we are emotionally reactive, stagnated, closed off to any new information, argumentative and operating in victim mode.
This is a contracted and closed off energy space. This is referred to as the lower self.
We also have free will.
In this episode of the podcast. you'll have an opportunity to reflect on which self you are choosing to spend most of your time operating from.

How Kind Are You To Yourself? with Fiona Redding
The way we speak to ourselves about ourselves says a lot about the relationship we have with ourselves.
When you speak to yourself - are you kind or are you mean?
Do you lift yourself up, encourage yourself, motivate yourself, challenge yourself (in a positive way), show yourself grace, forgiveness and compassion?
Or do you beat yourself up, berate yourself, talk down to yourself, take yourself down at every single opportunity you get?
Imagine if we were talking about a friend or a person outside of you.
Which one would you want to be friends with?
The question for today is this - how kind are you to yourself... and how can you be kinder and nicer friend to your very own self?

The Cave You Fear to Enter with Fiona Redding
Sometimes we need to go where we don't want to go, to get to where we want to be.
One of Joseph E Campbell's most famous quotes is this; "The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek".
In this episode of the podcast, I'm sharing a recent struggle that I went through, speaking to you as I was right in the thick of it.
Change can be really challenging and deeply uncomfortable, as we are forced to deal with emotions that which we have avoided dealing with for most of our lives.
But eventually, if we want to move, if we want to change, if we want to grow - we have to face it.
Our darkness is nothing to be feared.
Denying, suppressing and avoiding dealing with our painful emotions does not make them go away.
Being honest with ourselves and facing up to what we fear is the only way through.
We want to learn to embrace the struggle - even as we are up to our neck in it - and to recognise that it is through properly owning our problems that we always find our solution.

The Power of The Pause with Fiona Redding
Busy. How often do you use this word to describe your day?
Overwhelmed. Frazzled. Drowning. Chasing your tail. No time to breathe.
Trying to do all the things and be everything to everyone, and not necessarily feeling like you are accomplishing things.
The crazy thing about this state, is that we think the only way through it is to just keep going and hope that things will get better and improve. But the problem with this strategy is that we get ourselves completely stuck in the weeds. And when we are down in the weeds, all we can see is weeds.
When we get like this, it's very important that we use it as an opportunity to reflect what is going on.
Why are we thinking, feeling, behaving in this way? What is driving it? What do we need to do differently to change the outcome we are (continually) experiencing?
As the creators of our own life experience, it's our responsibility to become aware so that we can change it.

Overcoming Overwhelm with Fiona Redding
When you are feeling overwhelmed it can cause big problems…for you, your family, and your work…it seeps into every corner of your life.
In this episode of the podcast, I'm sharing the most common trigger points for overwhelm and the key strategies to put in place to help you:
* Greatly reduce the chance of getting overwhelmed in the first place
* Become more aware of your red flags so you can spot them and deal with them, simply and easily
* Get back on track when the wheels fall off - immediately and for the longer term.
These are the same strategies I’ve taught hundreds of clients over the last eight years, to help them successfully overcome overwhelm.
When you eliminate overwhelm from your life, you have…
* Clarity on your priorities, and the ability to easily adapt to the natural ebbs and flows of life
* Feelings of inner peace and calm
* More confidence in your skills and abilities
* Higher self-esteem
* Less conflict in your relationships

Keeping The Energy Alive wth Fiona Redding
My teacher Dr Issam shared with us this concept about maintaining your energy and enthusiasm for something in your life.
And to do this, you don’t allow whatever you are doing to stay at maximum potential. You do less than your motivation allows you, so your motivation never wears out, and you can sustain the energy towards whatever you are working towards. No pressure. No burn out.
An enduring hunger. And constant satisfaction.
For me this translated to - leave space. It’s like flattening the wave of energy so it lasts. Let it breathe. You don’t have to push everything to its limit. You can do less than what you can.
We don’t have to fill every spare space, we don’t have to colour in every single thing, we don’t have to run till we can’t run no more. Space is good.
Like pretty much everything he teaches us, it really made me think. Specifically with regards to my running. But this applies to anything.

Gratitude is Always The Solution with Fiona Redding
Gratitude helps us become aware in the present moment, and to help us see and appreciate people, things and experiences in our life from another, more positive perspective.
When we are focused on the negative or the lack within a situation, this is what we are focusing on. We don't get to see the good. This then causes us to feel bad, and to continue to experience more of the same.
When we can look for the good, the blessing, the lesson within the situation, and ask the question - what is going on here right now, that I can be grateful for? How can I think differently, how can I see differently, how can I feel differently about this?
When we choose to focus on the positive, it immediately helps you to have a different experience.

Being Open to Receiving with Fiona Redding
Life is a wonderful dance of giving and receiving.
But often, we block ourselves from receiving through a lack of belief, feelings of unworthiness, stories around rejection. At a level, we are much more comfortable to receive nothing, than we are to let things in.
We might not like the experience of the lack, or the not having, but we don’t know how to not experience it. It is just so much of who we are, deeply ingrained as to our identity and how we interact with life.
But both giving and receiving are equally important. The flow. The waves come in, the waves go out. They don’t just go one way.
So when we block ourselves from receiving, we are blocking the flow.
We want to give freely, abundantly, generously.
And also, we want to allow ourselves to receive.
In this episode of the podcast, I’m sharing a little story about letting go of a story that stand in the way of allowing, and the process I went through for it to happen.

Keeping it Simple with Fiona Redding
Most of the time we completely overcomplicate things because we either don’t have a clear vision or mission, or we have lost our connection with it.
This lack of focus creates a state of overwhelm, doubt and uncertainty as we stumble around in the weeds trying to figure out our next move, trying to make sense of all of the options and choices we feel like we have, trying to make sense of the chaos.
This idea of keeping things simple, by remembering our why, remembering our purpose, remembering why we started in the first place. It opens things up. It creates the space for clarity, confidence and certainty, trusting that whatever move we make is the right one, because all of our decisions and actions are connected to a bigger aim. It keeps it simple.
Keeping things simple does not mean that things are not challenging or hard. Keeping things simple means that we don’t get stuck in the obstacles and challenges, if we even create them in the first place.

Listening to Understand
What if the whole point of our existence was learning how to communicate properly?
Not for others to learn how to get on with us, or to understand us, or to communicate with us in a way that we liked.
But for us to learn how to get on with others, to understand them.
For us to learn how to adapt to the environment we are in, and to speak and listen not for our own gain, or to prove a point, or to be right, but for the other person’s benefit.
Imagine how different our relationships would be. Imagine how differently conflict would be handled.
Imagine how much nicer we would be to each other, how much more patient, how much more open, understanding and forgiving.

The Need to Control or Be Right
When we try to control things around us, like other people or our environment, this is a safety mechanism. Our primal instinct is that when we feel under threat or feel let down, we immediately try and want to control the situation.
We do this when:
• We feel unsafe
• Fearful that things are not going our way
• The need to be right and get the last word in or prove someone wrong
• We have assumed without complete understanding or discussion
In this episode of the podcast, I’m sharing some examples of how this behaviour shows up, and the impact it has on other people.
You’ll have an opportunity to reflect on where you might be trying to control other people and situations, and what you can do instead.

Deciding to Decide with Fiona Redding
The decision to decide to change can be hard.
But what happens if you avoid the hard, and you don’t decide?
What happens if you just keep going as you are, and nothing changes?
We really need to ask ourselves – Is that acceptable? For things to remain as they are?
Indecision is a decision in itself. Avoiding the uncomfortable feelings, conversations, reckonings. This is a decision.
Deciding not to decide is a decision.
But something magical happens when we decide to decide.
When we decide to say yes. To step up. To try something new. To do something different. To come at life from a new angle with a different approach.
What could happen for you, in your life, in your business, in your health, in your relationships? If you simply decided to decide?

The Cutting Room Floor with Fiona Redding
Napoleon Hill said that every misfortune has within it the seed of an equal or greater opportunity.
Opportunities don’t always look like we might expect them to, and sometimes when we don’t get what we think we want, we are really getting what we need. This can sometimes feel very painful.
But really, who gets to say that something is good, and who gets to say that something is bad? We are never in the position of being able to judge something, because we actually never have the full and complete picture.
In this episode of the podcast, I’m sharing a story about more than one opportunity ending up on the cutting room floor, which at the time was brutal. But what that experience opened up for me instead. And spoiler alert – it’s the reason why I was able to finally get out of my own way and launch this podcast.

Your Personal and Professional Brand with Fiona Redding
A brand is like an identity - an intangible marketing or business concept that characterises a company, product, or individual. A brand is not a logo, slogan or colour palette. These are the tools that help promote the brand.
YOU are your brand, and a strong brand is very clear on it's mission and values.
There is not much of a gap between a personal and professional brand, but it's helpful to think about you as a brand from both perspectives, especially as it is almost impossible to distinguish between your personal and professional brand in your digital footprint.
In this episode of the podcast, we explore the concept of "you as a brand" aligned with your personal and professional goals, as well as your core values.
* Knowing who you are and the value you bring to the table
* Finding your voice and platform
* Establishing your expertise
* Creating your brand image and how you show up

Making Friends with Anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson
Everyone experiences anxiety. It is a hard-wired response in our brains to the threat of danger. The challenge is that our brain cannot distinguish between a real, life endangering threat (eg a bear is going to eat me or quick, there is a fire!) and an imagined, or non-life threatening threat (the traffic is slow and I am going to be late or I have back to back meetings today). The chemical response in our brains is the same, and it is this response which triggers the anxious state.
Sometimes we can recognise it, sometimes we have no idea that the name for what we are feeling and experiencing is anxiety. Becoming aware of it, is the first step.
An educational leader, Dr Jodi Richardson supports teachers, parents and other professionals to navigate the challenges of anxiety and to develop the skills and confidence to help their students and children.

Creating Space with Fiona Redding
When we are looking at making change, creating goals, achieving goals, moving from where we are. Whenever we want to create something new, there needs to be space for it. We need to clear the decks and create the room for the new to come in.
When there is stagnated or blocked energy, or clutter, or all the space is filled with things that don’t support the new vision and the change, then there is a block. To create space, we need to let go and remove the clutter.
What is blocking the new from coming in for you?
Mentally, emotionally, physically?
In this episode of the podcast, I’m sharing some examples and a process to help you create the space – to create the vision, take the action and let go of what does not support your goal.

Just Do It with Fiona Redding
How much time do you spend thinking about it, talking about it, worrying about it, procrastinating on doing it, beating up on yourself that you haven’t done it yet, doubting whether you should do it, questioning the best way to do it?
Rather than just simply, doing it.
Outcomes are achieved and things get done when we get out of our heads and into the field of play. With no excuses. Not thinking about doing it. Just doing it. And then it’s done, and you’ve reclaimed all the mental space that not doing it was consuming.
You will feel amazing. You’ve proven to yourself what you can achieve, which builds trust with yourself, increases your confidence and helps you realise even better results.
Imagine what you could achieve if you got clear on what you wanted, you set yourself a goal, made a plan and then got it done.
What is possible for you, if you just got out of your own way, and did it?

Confidence in Singing with Aideen Ni Riada
Have you ever thought about how happy you feel when you sing, and how liberating it is when you just allow yourself to sing out loud?

She blends her intuition and her knowledge of psychology, spirituality and voice training to uncover the hidden treasure of the human voice.

Jealousy as a Motivational Force with Fiona Redding
Today’s episode is about jealousy, and how when we are honest with ourselves about feeling jealous, we can harness this emotion as a motivational force.
Our emotions are always speaking to us, trying to tell us something.
Unfortunately, we often deny them. Squash them down. Or, we let them take over.
We get negatively consumed by them without the positive benefit of understanding what they are showing us about who we are, who we would like to be, what we would live to do, what we would like to have.
When we become aware of our emotional state, we can try and understand what our emotions are saying. When we can name them and feel them without getting stuck in them and being controlled by them – we will discover things about ourselves that we did not know before.
If you have ever felt jealous about someone or something (I know I have!) then have a listen to this episode and discover what your jealousy might be trying to tell you.

Am I Self-Sabotaging with Fiona Redding
Self-sabotage is a behaviour.
Behaviour becomes self-sabotaging when it creates problems in daily life and interferes with long standing goals.
We are not always aware of when we are self-sabotaging because there is not always a clear link between behaviour and consequences.
However, this behaviour can be overcome with awareness.
In this episode of the podcast, you'll learn:
* what self-sabotaging behaviour is
* the three things you can do to help you gain awareness
* some practical things you can do to help break the pattern of self-sabotaging behaviour

A Big Sober Life with Maria Augustus-Dunn
Our relationship with alcohol. Thinking about drinking. How we feel about it. How it makes us feel.
Whenever I share anything related to this topic, it always resonates. If it’s not affecting us directly, we all know someone very close to us for whom it is. This is probably the number one topic that I get the most questions about and feedback on: people sharing their experiences with alcohol and drinking, questioning if it is a problem, wondering how do you stop, if that’s even what you want to do.
It’s important that we talk about it, that we share and that we can learn from each other’s experiences.
It’s always good to get new perspectives and to see ourselves in other people’s experiences.
Today’s guest is Maria Augustus-Dunn. Originally from a large Aussie Greek family, Maria was raised in Melbourne, before retiring at 50 in 2011 to live life on the road with her husband Brad as grey nomads, travelling the highways and byways of Australia. A daily drinker from the…

Right This Second with Fiona Redding
The wonderful thing about journalling, is that it is free-range. There are no rules. The process of journalling is such an incredible way to help us explore new ways of understanding ourselves and of looking at things.
Journalling, combined with practices like meditation, goal setting, affirmations and afformations is very powerful.
In this episode of the podcast, I’m sharing with you the wonderful results of a recent journalling session, where I decided to write down ten things that I knew to be true, right this second.
And then I just went to town on what I believed to be true for what was possible, right this second. For what I believed for to be possible to happen right this second, knowing that the process of my believing was what is going to make it happen. And my energy shifted in a very big way.
So… what is possible for you right this second?

Naming It and Claiming It with Fiona Redding
When you set a goal, do you name it and claim it? Or do you set a goal and then sort of hope that maybe it might happen, but you are not really holding your breath?
Or – even better – do you stop yourself from even setting a goal in the first place, because it just brings up too much stuff?
In this episode of the podcast, you are going to have an opportunity to name your goal, and to claim your goal.
To allow yourself to go there, to allow yourself to dream, to allow yourself to fully own the deepest desires of your heart. To stake your claim on it as already being yours.
And then I’ll share with you an affirmation and a couple of simple techniques to help you shift your belief system, and to step into the realm of possibility: to believe it is possible, wherever you are right now in relation to that goal.

The Great Aussie Hike with Anna Brown
In this bonus episode, you’ll meet Anna Brown, founder and program director of the Great Aussie Hike – a fantastic initiative that I am absolutely delighted to be an ambassador for.
The Great Aussie Hike was developed in 2020 by a small group wanting to do something to help the mental wellbeing of our community after long periods of lockdown and isolation. It focuses on human connection, goal setting, physical activity in nature and mindset development that mates support each other to work through. The aim is on establishing new skills and lifestyle habits that reset and strengthen mental wellbeing after long periods of lockdown.
It began as a one off, but due to the success of the inaugural cycle and with the need only increasing, it has returned with a new program and an exciting challenge set for April 2022. The structure remains a volunteer-led, not for profit organisation with 100% of funds invested into the safety and support of participants.

Beyond Hello Sunday Morning with Chris Raine
From a simple idea in 2010 to take 12 months off drinking and see what happened, Chris Raine’s blog (called Hello Sunday Morning) documenting that journey turned into a movement aimed at changing Australia’s relationship with alcohol.
From just a handful of followers, by 2013 over 10,000 people (including me!) had joined up with Hello Sunday Morning to reassess our relationship with alcohol.
By 2014 Chris and his team evolved the Hello Sunday Morning organisation into a $4 million, Government-funded health service that now supports one of the largest communities in the world with evidence-based care for alcohol behaviour change.
After ten years at Hello Sunday Morning, in 2020, Chris stepped down as CEO and took a six-month sabbatical, to explore and understand more deeply who he was and what made him tick.
In 2021, Chris began working on Australians for Mental Health – an advocacy campaign focused on ensuring Australian Governments invest 1% of GDP to implement the recommend…

Good Enough Goals with Fiona Redding
The point of setting goals is that it’s never about the destination, it’s who we become along the way.
In this episode of the podcast, I’m exploring the idea of being okay with “good enough” in setting a goal and not having to push and always be aiming higher. To just set a goal and that be enough.
To learn how to appreciate and acknowledge what is being achieved / has been achieved, to deeply see that as the result of a previous goal having been attained. To stop and pause and be grateful for that; without having to keep moving the goal posts to feel like I am succeeding.
I recently set a goal that was for my health. My daily vision for my life is to be the fittest, healthiest and happiest I have ever been. I didn’t set this goal to smash every record ever set. I simply set it to help me be fit and healthy.
It’s been a fascinating process observing myself in the process of it, and I wanted to share that with you.

The 80:20 Rule with Fiona Redding
The premise of The Pareto Principle, or the 80:20 Rule, is that for many outcomes, approximately 80% of the consequences will come from 20% of the causes. This is also know as the 'vital few'.
On the other side of this - 20% of the consequences are the result of 80% of the causes.
First observed by an Italian civil engineer, economist and sociologist Vilifredo Pareto in the early 20th Century, that 80% of the land in Italy was owned by 20% of the population. He further discovered that a similar distribution existed in other countries as well.
Since then, studies have shown that the distribution of The 80:20 Rule applies in many other areas: in natural phenomena, business, health and productivity.
It's a useful lens to assess and measure the results you are getting against the tasks and the effort you are putting in, in many areas of your life and business.

Being Intentional with Fiona Redding
What you do at the start of the day matters.
Being intentional at the start of the day. It really matters.
This is about focusing on the things that are within our direct control.
Three questions you can ask yourself:
* How do I want to show up today?
* What would I like for the experience of my life today?
* What would make today a really great day?
And then reflect:
* Are my morning habits helping me or hindering me?
By taking some time and focusing at the very beginning of the day, being intentional, and doing the things that help create a sense of calm, wellbeing and balance within yourself, you can set yourself up on the right trajectory. Putting yourself in the strongest position to deal with the challenges of the day.

Stay In Your Lane with Fiona Redding
One of the most significant pieces of advice I picked up when I first started my business was this – stay in your lane.
Staying in your lane basically means to focus on what you are doing; that the lane you are in, is the lane you are in. The lane somebody else is in, is the lane they are in. Our job is to know our own lane and not to drift into each others’ lanes.
We can run alongside each other, inspire each other, challenge each other, lift and support each other. But my race is my race, and your race is your race. We each bring our own set of what makes each of us, us, to our own race. We cannot BE each other.
Similarly, looking at what someone else is doing and being jealous or envious of them, mad at them, comparing yourself in a positive or negative light. It actually has no bearing at all on your race and the lane you are in. When you are looking around you, beside you, behind you all the time. All it does is stop you moving forward.

According to Nathaniel Brandon, author of the Book How to raise your self-esteem, it is the sum of self-confidence and self respect.
In this episode of the podcast you'll discover:
* what self-esteem is (high, low, average and how we can fluctuate)
* self-confidence and self-respect

Angela Raspass believes that next chapters are borne of skinned knees.
In this episode of the podcast, we talk about the change cycle that we all move through:
* discontent
* desire
* decision
* design
* deliver
This cycle is relevant for any change. The fact that we get stuck in the Deliberation Zone, wrestling with doubt, uncertainty, comparison and fear before we break through and get into the Doing Zone has led to Angela having a strong focus in the role self worth plays in our growth.
Angela Raspass is a Sydney-based business mentor, author, and self-worth educator with a particular passion for supporting women to step into their next chapter and do the work in the world they’re here for.

The Emotional Emergency Fix with Fiona Redding
Despite what we know, let’s face it, moments happen in which we become emotionally reactive – slaves to our thoughts and feelings. Some ways you may experience this:
* You are about to lose it, you are losing it, you’ve lost it
* Yelling or screaming back at another in an argument
* A stream of verbal insults
* Thoughts, intention and action to physically lash out
* Uncontrollable crying
In this episode of the podcast, you’ll learn about the Subjective Units of Disturbance Scale (SUDS). This is a framework used to measure the subjective intensity of distress or disturbance experienced by an individual. SUDS is a self-measuring assessment developed by Joseph Wolpe using a scale of zero to 10 to rate the level of emotional disturbance.
The benefits of becoming familiar with this scale (you don’t need to know it verbatim) is that it provides an instant self-assessment reference to where you are at, in the present moment. Because the thing with emotions is that if yo…

For The Love of Boundaries with Fiona Redding
Boundaries are a sign of self-respect, so love yourself enough to set and honour them.
They come in many forms, and most conversations refer to emotional boundaries of how we allow others to treat or speak to us. Yet, we tend to overlook the boundaries we set, or do not set, for ourselves.
Boundaries are the emotional limits set, which are activated when breached. A breach is usually a behaviour or a comment which violates a personal value.
The breaches could be concerning requests for your time and how another treats and speaks to you or invades your personal space. Even though you may not know what a boundary is, you know it has been crossed when you have an instant and uncomfortable emotional reaction.
Most people have set their boundaries unconsciously, and in a world of healthy relationships, these are generally sufficient. However, when it comes to unhealthy environments, relationships or poor communication, the lack of awareness and strength of the boundaries is where the ch…

Every journey has an element of excitement and nervous energy at the beginning, a celebration at the end, and at times a very (very) messy middle.

Why a Red Pen? with Fiona Redding
Why am I using a red pen? Wouldn’t a green pen be nicer?
Writing a book – indeed any creative pursuit or the making of something that didn’t exist before – is about doing, creating, building, action.
But to come to its full glory, it also needs nurturing and gentleness and love.
If we have made something, created something, if we have planted a seed, then we need to love it and care for it and look after it.
We don’t want to destroy it, especially when it is little.
It needs time to grow. It needs space to evolve. It needs lifting up.
All things need balance to become.
In this episode of the podcast, I’m sharing a very powerful question you can ask yourself when you are in the process of creation. To question (not doubt, or second guess) the energy behind your action, and to think about the balance you are bringing to your work.
And to have a new reference point for yourself – should I be using a red pen here, or would a green pen be better?

Your self worth is the opinion you have about yourself and the value you place on yourself.
Self worth is about valuing your inherent worth as a human being, simply by virtue of you being you, and of being alive. As opposed to measuring or comparing yourself to external measures or other people – by what you do, what you have, or what you may or may not have achieved.
It is about accepting that you being your unique self, is all you need to be worthy.
You are enough right now, just as you are. Your work is to rid yourself of the negative internal dialogue and the layers of conditioning that would have you believe otherwise.

The objective of this exercise is to create a free-flowing, declutter of the mind. The mere act of answering the questions and writing down your thoughts, will start to clean, clear and organise your mind.
The rule – write freely. no filtering, no self-editing, just write. No matter how ridiculous the words, simply get it out of your head and onto paper.

Worry versus Concern with Fiona Redding
A worried person SEES a problem.
A concerned person SOLVES a problem.
Worrying about things never fixes them, never changes them, never helps us in any way. Worrying about something – allowing the repetitive thinking to take over – simply makes us feel anxious and quite often, powerless, and will keep us stuck in the same old cycle until we make a change.
Being concerned on the other hand, means that we are taking responsibility for whatever we can within the situation, and taking some positive action to try and address it to either make sure the thing we are concerned about never eventuates, or that we can take steps to manage it, or reduce its impact.
In this episode of the podcast, you’ll have an opportunity to reflect on how your worry can be shifted to concern.

Holding The Vision and Trusting The Process with Fiona Redding
Ask. Believe. Receive.
When we set our sights on something, set a vision or create a goal, we need to believe that it is possible, and then we need to take action in the belief that it is already ours. Regardless of how impossible it might seem. Regardless of how far it seems to be from where we are standing right now.
If we believe that we can be, do or have anything we desire, then we are going to cultivate the right thinking and take the action that corresponds to that belief system. We are going to become the person for whom it became true.
In this episode of the podcast, I’m sharing with you a little story about asking for what you want, believing it is possible, holding the vision and trusting the process.

Overcoming Imposter Syndrome with Fiona Redding
The term Imposter Syndrome was first coined in the 1970’s by a University psychology professor called Pauline Rose Clance who noticed something was going on with the women in her class.
For the most part, the women she was observing had what she considered everything going for them – they had come from well educated and successful families, grew up in nice neighbourhoods, were healthy, financially secure and had access to every opportunity, and had a proven track record of success and academic achievement.
The Imposter Syndrome refers to high achieving individuals who are marked by an inability to internalise their accomplishments and a persistent fear of being exposed as a fraud, and it is very, very common – and not just with women.
In this episode you’ll discover:
* what it is
* how it presents itself
* the five different types of imposter
* how to address and overcome it

The Thing is Never The Thing with Fiona Redding
The thing we think is the thing, is never the thing.
Think about in your life, when you have a problem, a challenge or are struggling with something. You will often look at the thing as being the problem.
But when we think about the thing, as not being the thing, what it helps us do is to see that thing for what it really is.
The manifestation or representation of something that is sitting behind that – in the way we think, our belief system, the way our program works, the way we are emotionally dealing with something, our action, our behaviour – which then appear to be the thing that we think is the problem.
The problem with this is that it deflects us from seeing where the real issue and root cause of where the problem lies.
Which in turn often results as seeking a short term band aid solution.
What this also does is focuses our energy and attention on what we don’t want.
In this episode, you will have an opportunity to really understand this concept, and to think about…

Rewriting Your Story with Dora Altintas
When we change our story, we change our life.
The story we tell is determined by how we think about ourselves and our experiences – our identity.
Our identity is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
How we tell the story is determined by the position and perspective we tell it from.
Generally, when we are telling a story, we are telling it from one of three perspectives – from victim, growth or secure.
Which perspective are you telling your story from?
And are you ready to take a new perspective, and learn how to rewrite the stories you tell?
In this episode of the podcast, you’ll meet Dora Altintas. Dora is a business strategist who specialises in packaging expertise and stories into published books, products, courses and signature talks.

The Happiness Hunter's Creed with Fiona Redding
Large organisations have vision and mission statements as a reminder to the public and staff as to their operating principles and values. Sports teams, schools and religious groups have a code of conduct as their reference point.
What these creeds and mission statements do is a reminder of how they operate in their best version. They are aligned with their identity and how they show up.
Therefore it makes perfect sense for us to have our own.The Happiness Hunter’s Creed is a reminder of how we show up as our best and highest version – individually and as a collective.
The power of this is being able to refer to it when feeling stuck, or “less than”, and asking yourself as you work through each point – “am I being this”?
“When I step into the vision of me as the best version of myself, the creed is how I think and operate.
There are days where we can forget to check in and we operate and show up at less than ideal energy or attitude. By reading, connecting and remin…

Tracking Your Way to Success with Fiona Redding
Daily tracking is the best way to keep focused on what you want to achieve.
It removes the over thinking and eliminates excuses. You have either done it, or you haven’t.
It is a known and proven fact that what gets measured, gets improved. Tracking will measure the level of consistency, and by this focus alone will encourage a commitment to the process.
Consistency in your action forms new habits and routines, which helps to build momentum, creating and embedding sustainable change. This action builds on itself in a positive upwards cycle.
Consistency is about repetition. It is about doing the same things repeatedly over time to reach a desired outcome - whether you feel like doing them or not.
Beyond the attainment of your goals, the benefits of daily action include;
• Building self-discipline and self-control
• Increasing self-esteem and self-confidence
• Honouring your word - walking in integrity
• Fast tracking your success • Attracting and manifesting opportuniti…

Creating a Vision Board with Fiona Redding
A vision board is the visual representation of your desires and aspirations for your life.
They are a useful tool to inspire and to motivate you to take consistent daily action in pursuit of your goals and dreams. And – it is fun!
Our minds see in images, not words.
Our focus and energy is what creates the outcome – this works for both what we want, and what we don’t want.
Transformation in any area of our life starts with a decision, continues with a thought, and is followed by action.
A vision board is the visual representation of taking action and bringing together the decision and the thought, and supporting it with a visual reminder.
A vision board is a talisman of sorts, created with magical properties and strengths to remind you of your vision and quest.
In this episode you will learn how to create a vision board, and why it is important not to hide your dreams!

Asking Better Questions with Fiona Redding
Imagine if your mind was the internet, your questions were a google search, and you were the one typing the question into the search bar.
How do you formulate that question? You take some time to think about what you want to know, you take some time to word it in the way that you think will deliver the most beneficial answer.
We know google is going to go searching all over the internet for the answer to that specific question asked – that is it’s job after all – so we make sure we word the question in the right way to make sure we get the best possible answer possible.
We are not going to ask a question that we don’t want the answer to. The wrong question is still going to come back with the right answer to that question. It’s just going to be the answer we don’t want.
But if you ask the right questions, then you are going to get the right answer.

The Middle Way with Fiona Redding
In Buddhist tradition, the middle way, or the middle path, is the way of moderations between the two extremes of indulgence and self denial. And it is said that this is the way to peace and liberation. The middle way gives vison and knowledge and leads to calm, to insight, to enlightenment and to nirvana.
So, what does this mean for us in our day to day lives? And, most importantly, what does it mean for you?
Are there areas of your life where there are extremes in your thinking, your attitude, your emotions, your behaviour? Do you go so hard core into one thing or one area, that you neglect other areas or responsibilities? Do you let your emotions take over without thinking?
What is the cost to seeing things as "this or that", rather than "and & and"?
For example, what would the middle way look like for you in your life if you could:
* know your priorities & non-negotiables AND be selfless
* be disciplined AND flexible
* can eat what you like AND choose not to
* be ration…

Progress not Perfection with Fiona Redding
When we are waiting for perfection, or expecting perfection – for us to be perfect, for things to be perfect, for conditions to be perfect – we are going to be waiting for a very long time, because “perfect” in that sense, it doesn’t really exist.
The best place to start, is here. The best time to start, is now. The best time to pick yourself up and dust yourself off, and to take the lesson – is now. And if you’ve had an idea planted in your heart, then you are the person to be doing it.
Whether you feel like you are ready or perfect, or not.
Because an idea, without execution, it is nothing. It is just an idea.
And how will you become the person who can do it, if you don’t start doing it? How will you know it was the right or wrong thing to do if you don’t get out of your head and into the field of play?
Accepting that within the very messy progress, lies the true perfection.

I Am Resourceful with Fiona Redding
Being resourceful is having the ability to find quick and clever ways to overcome difficulties.
We live in a loving, benevolent, kind, generous, supportive and caring universe that wants to give us what we are asking for. Our job is to take the first step and to decide – to get very clear on what we want, and then to trust in the universe to provide the how.
When we believe that we are resourceful, and that we can have what we ask for – and we allow ourselves to ask for it, believe we can have it and allow ourselves to receive – then we are going to be shown the quickest and cleverest way to make it happen.
When we believe that we live in a universe of unlimited resources, then the universe is going to knock itself out proving to us that we are right.

Ghosting Yourself with Fiona Redding
We say we have been “ghosted” when someone stands us up, or just disappears never to be seen or heard from again. You had every reason to believe that they would show up, honour their commitment, see through their end of the bargain but then… nothing.
And we are left scratching our heads, wondering what just happened there.
But if you honestly stop and pause to reflect, ghosting doesn’t have to be something you do to someone else or that they do to you. What if ghosting was something you actually did to yourself as well?
Where in your life do you say you are going to do something that involves a commitment just to you – it may likely even be in pen in your diary – and then you just don’t show up. No communication, no apology, no acknowledgement. Just completely not present.
No-one likes being ghosted. So why do we do it to ourselves?

The Sober Truth with Jenny De Lacy and Lara O'Donnell
After reading all the quit-lit (yes, that is a genre apparently) books and listening to all the podcasts on giving up drinking (including this one), both Jenny De Lacy and Lara O’Donnell felt like they had been sold a lie when they didn’t experience what is known as “the pink cloud” and feel AH-MAZING when they stopped drinking.
They had all these questions of all these people who were banging on about how great it was to quit. Because their experience didn’t reflect all the great stories they were hearing, they really did feel like something didn’t add up.
What was it that they were missing?
How can you just stop drinking after years and years and be happy about that? Like, how can you go from two bottles a day to just not drinking? What was the experience between stopping and feeling better? What happens next? Do you just automatically feel better? Why don’t I feel better?

Am I Just Being Lazy with Fiona Redding
In today’s episode of the podcast, you’ll discover the difference between laziness, procrastination, idleness and rest & recovery.
If you are super honest with yourself, how often have you justified your lack of action as “rest & recovery” when in fact, it was probably closer to laziness or procrastination? And again, super honestly, how well has that strategy worked out for you in the past, and how well is it working out for you today?
Both laziness and procrastination come from the same core driver – a lack of motivation. But neither make you feel very good, and laziness completely takes you away from your goals, while procrastination makes the process of achieving them so much more difficult than it needs to be.
There is no cure to laziness, except to stop being lazy. Being able to honestly (and with oceans of love) to simply ask yourself the question – “am I just being lazy” when you find yourself in the middle of mindless activity and yet another pointless distr…

Slowing Down To Speed Up with Fiona Redding
All action yields results.
Making sure we are taking the right action to yield the right results is very important. Sometimes when we are operating outside of our comfort zone, in a place we have never been before, the only way we can learn if the action is the right action is by trying new things.
Sometimes we learn that we are totally on the right track, and to do more of that.
And sometimes the feedback from that action is going to cause us to question the action.
At this point, it is very important to not just continue on with that action, but to take a big pause, a big deep breath, create the space for a big reset. For an absolute check in on all of everything.
I like to think of this as slowing down to speed up.
This process is both brutal and enlightening.
Yes, you will slow down. But only to speed up in a way that is in complete alignment, knowing that the action you take is the best action for you - not for money, not for appreciation, not for applause - but the best mo…

What Is My Plan with Issam Kadamani
In this episode of the podcast, Issam Kadamani from the International College of Meditation & Healing is joining us again to ask the question – what is your plan?
Success in life requires a plan.
A plan helps you to understand where you are at, to get clear on where you would like to be, and it outlines the steps that you need to take to get there.
Having a plan means that you can live your life from your conscious mind – actively deciding how you want things to be, rather that acting on autopilot from your subconscious mind – and ending up who knows where.
Anything in life works if you want it to work.
Having a plan means that you are in charge of your life.
This episode will help you get clear on your plan, understand why it is important, what you need to think about and what you need to do.

What Is The Opposite Of This? with Fiona Redding
For change to take place, a change needs to take place.
So if we want things in your life to change, but we don't change, then nothing will change. It's not a complicated formula.
We often think that change is too hard - that to get from where we are now to where we would like to be requires too much effort, and it feels too overwhelming, and it is going to take time that we don't have right now.
We tend to look at change from a macro level. And that can feel big and too much of a stretch from right where we are.
But what about if we started to think about change at it's smallest, most micro level - at the exact point of decision, in the moment the decision gets made.
And what about if change required nothing more than you doing the opposite of what you have always done?
Imagine if you could create the change you wanted to see and experience in your life, by catching yourself and asking yourself one very simple question. What is the opposite of this?
