Create Yourself - A Life You Love

I'm so excited about this podcast. 

Today I have the pleasure of having Becs Crosby join me. She is a real inspiration, having left her corporate job and city life to follow her dreams. 

Like many of us she had the idea of setting up her own business for over a decade but had pushed it aside… that was until December 2019 when her world fell apart.

Three months before the pandemic sent us all into lockdown Becs sadly lost her younger sister to cancer aged just 39. 

With her sister’s advice of ‘don’t sweat the small stuff’ ringing in her ears, Becs dared to follow her heart and make her dream a reality. 

She is a woman on a mission to spread kindness and create inclusive workplaces, where leaders are trusted and employees feel motivated to be productive and make their voices heard.

She runs team workshops and offers 1:1 coaching and consultancy for people managers and senior leaders who want to overcome their imposter syndrome to achieve results while gaining the respect and trust of their team. 

She talks about the many benefits of practicing kindness, at home and at work where acting kindly has been shown to be associated with increased effort, productivity and persistence, higher engagement, reduced burnout, and higher levels of initiative taking, creativity, and helping behaviours.

I share 5 key questions you need to ask yourself, to check that your dream is worth your time & energy. These are taken from Mary Morrissey who runs a program called Dream Builder. Instead we often ask, am I worthy of the dream. This is the wrong question! If you have a dream then I believe you are capable of making it happen but will it fully selling with what’s important & matters to you? Will it excite & light you up? These are important questions we need to give some thought. www.kayholdsworth.com

I believe our dreams are important because they are an expression of who we are & who we have the potential to become. They are our soul calling. Our dreams are meant to be big, hairy & scary, otherwise they wouldn’t be dreamed! A dream should make us have to stretch & grow. They should equally scare & excite us. In this episode I share some powerful journal prompts & questions to help you to create a clear vision of what you want.

It’s amazing that this episode even went out today, on Friday as promised. In this episode I talk about last nights Writing for Self-discovery workshop I hosted over on Meet-up/Create Yourself. We started the session with a simple word association exercise which is a great way to generate lots of thoughts & ideas. I then talked about ways you could use some of those words as a jump-start for more free-flow writing. I then asked the participants to go running around their house & choose three random items that represented some aspect of who they are. If you would like to find out more about my workshops head over to Kay holdsworth.com or join my meet up page which Create Yourself. If you enjoyed the episode then do rate & review it. 🦋💗

A brilliant intuitive exercise to do if you are feeling stuck, uncertain or just seek some reassurance. Tapping into your wiser, older self is a great way to connect with your own knowing & wisdom. Your future self understands you inside out. They know your natural strengths & limitations. Who better to offer you advice, encouragement & guidance? Basically they are you without the fear, limiting beliefs & self-doubt. Check out my website kayholdsworth.com or take part in my Free Writing For Self-discovery Workshop held on Meet up/Create Yourself last Thursday of the month.
