Does Coaching even matter when the world is burning?

The short answer is ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY YES! And in this episode, we explore why when the world feels increasingly dark, heavy, overwhelming and sad, our collective coaching work really really matters - not in spite of the heaviness, but because of it. You’ll hear why our work is part of building the new world that’s trying to come through. Plus I have five non-typical approaches for supporting yourself. And if you’d like to feel replenished and supported as you do this work, come join us...

5 Business Lessons from 100 Workouts

Two years ago I couldn't put my coat on without help (frozen shoulder). Yesterday I completed my 100th strength training workout this year. I KNOW! The last six months of getting stronger have had this huge ripple effect on how I am approaching the rebuild of my coaching practice. These five business lessons have come straight from the weight room: committing (when you don't quite trust the process), where the biggest gains have actually come from, what happens when you keep showing up, leani...

This week, I’m diving into the Core Four - the four simple, powerful foundations every coach needs to build a thriving practice. I’ll share how I’m applying them in my own business (from rewriting the Ripen sales page for the eleventy-seventh time, to jumping back on Instagram with my ā€œhow I got hereā€ story), and why clarity on your core client, offer, nurture strategy, and sharing platforms makes everything easier. šŸ”— Links: Procrastinating?

Women who do too much with Tamu Thomas

Tamu Thomas is a transformational somatic leadership coach, the eldest daughter of West African immigrants, a mother, a speaker, and now a published author! Tamu’s first book, Women Who Work Too Much, helps overachieving, overfunctioning women set boundaries, find joy, and flourish. This conversation was a balm, and I suspect fellow Gen X women in particular, will feel seen and understood. We are the generation that grew up being told we could have it all. Now, we find ourselves in ...

Your Future Self

Have you ever daydreamed about a different potential future for yourself? Perhaps your imagination offers you an entirely different job, country, or relationship? It might be that your life looks the same on the inside but feels entirely different to you. This might be a creative way to spend time on a drive or in a queue, and it could also point you towards an entirely new direction. In this episode of Courage and Spice, we are exploring this sometimes magical connection with Your Future Se...

Your Superpower for building Self-belief

Happy (lunar) New Year! It’s the first new moon of the year, which also marks the beginning of the Chinese and Tibetan year of the wood snake (nb: I just had a little look at this, and the wood snake symbolises the embodied wisdom of the Divine Feminine who knows her worth, lives close to the Earth and is at ease in moving within her body, which is always changing, shedding old skins for new growth. The wood snake is all about moving forward intuitively, quietly, intelligently and intentiona...

Dressing from the inside out with Lizzie Parsons

How do you feel about what you wear? Shopping for clothes in our fast-fashion world, deciding what you like (colours, fabrics, makers), trying things on, and deciding what suits can all feel a bit like a minefield. It can be incredibly activating for our self-doubt. Lizzie Parsons runs The Distinctive Style Atelier and she is all about finding joy, confidence, and authenticity in your personal style - she has a really fun, human Instagram account that I recommend.

Five things to focus on for Coaching Success

I’ve spent a lot of this year thinking about the Coaching industry. It is undoubtedly going through a somewhat sticky phase of maturing - for some of us, this is a long-time-coming-reckoning. The increasing focus on ethics and having a scope of practice, being trauma-informed, calling out the training organisations that replicate unhealthy practices is all for the good - particularly when it comes to outcomes for our beloved clients. And if you are a coach, this shift in the industry can feel...

Quiet Mind, Safe Body with Olivia Mendoza

IMHO, the best kind of humans can access deep joy and light because they have sat in their darkness and shadows. Olivia is exactly that! We talk about the path from anger, pain, shame and addiction to living from a quiet mind and safe body. Olivia shares how breathwork blew her heart open and invited her to follow what she calls ā€˜the yellow brick road home to myself’. Breathwork is such a mysterious and deceptively simple practice. Olivia describes how peaceful, soft, and undefen...

The five things that pretty much guarantee goal success

In my former life, I was in the business of corporate goals - we called these projects - and I was responsible for some of the biggest, hairiest, riskiest projects in the UK (that life is almost unfathomable to me now). #nowonderIdrank We often had a team of physics grads who managed an enormous Gannt chart - the project plan. We talked about The Plan endlessly. It was forever being updated, changed, added to, and reported on. We worshipped that thing. I suspect that in the face of so many m...

Cherise Nunez

I completely get this concept; I have a disease that essentially shuts down my digestive system. Since this, obviously, causes weight loss to the extreme that seems to invalidate my being "ill". I can be laying in a hospital bed with ivs in, feeling so very sick and frightened, but I "look so good" so it can't be bad. But it absolutely is bad.
