Let's cut through the noise: Your network isn't just collecting dust in your LinkedIn contacts – it's either rocket fuel for your success or the anchor dragging you down to mediocrity. And if you're reading this while mentally cataloging people who make your stomach clench when their name pops up on your phone, we need to talk.

As we’ve all probably heard by now, you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. But here's the plot twist – you get to choose those five people. Yet somehow, we've normalised keeping energy vampires on speed dial while our dreams collect cobwebs in the corner.

Think of your network as your personal board of directors. Would you let someone who consistently shows up late, unprepared, and radiating negativity sit on the board of a Fortune 500 company? Of course not. So why are you giving them a premium seat at the table of your life?

In this episode I’m sharing the 12 types of people that are sabotaging your success, and why it’s important that you sack them from your network immediately.

You’ll feel lighter, more confident and able to achieve your goals much faster.

I have had a week from hell. There was no big drama, no catastrophe. Just an explosion of emotions:  a snappy tone at my husband, getting shitty with the kids and a general sense that I could burn it all down  and move to a hut in the mountains.

The kicker here is that it wasn't anyone else's fault. It was mine. Somehow, amidst the chaos, I dropped the very habits that keep me centred—my stress reduction rituals quietly exited stage left while I was too busy surviving.

This personal wake-up call inspired me to share these stress hacks in hopes of helping you reclaim some semblance of peace during those particularly hectic weeks. Join me as I dive into the daily habits that don't just keep me moving, but keep me from completely losing my shit—most days, anyway:

1. Meditation as a Non-Negotiable

2. Embrace Slow Mornings with Intention

3. Movement Throughout the Day

4. Set Firm Boundaries

5. Prioritise Rest and Sleep

These hacks may seem simple, but their impact can be huge. I invite you to discover your own stress-busting rituals and make them non-negotiables.  

Until next time, I want you to be kind to yourself, breathe deeply and go reset that nervous system like the glorious rebel queen that you are!

Have you ever found yourself overwhelmed, exhausted and frantically trying to juggle the demands of work and life, only to feel like you're on the brink of burnout? You're not alone.

The struggle to maintain balance while achieving our goals is more prevalent than ever. But don't despair, because I'm here to share insights from an incredible conversation I had with Melo Calarco - a fellow author (his book Beating Burnout, Finding Balance is a must-read) and expert dedicated to helping people thrive without burning out.

Melo is a remarkable individual whose mission is to help people perform at their best without sacrificing their mental health and wellbeing. Melo has extensive experience working in psychiatric clinics and has since transferred that knowledge into the corporate world, aiding entrepreneurs, CEOs and athletes in maintaining their drive without losing themselves along the way.

We chat about understanding the burnout crisis and how to recognise it in ourselves before it’s too late. Melo also outlines three essential pillars for maintaining balance and beating burnout:

1. Developing Self-Awareness: A foundational step in combating burnout is understanding your behaviours, emotions and physical responses.

2. Mastering Self-Regulation: The ability to manage your responses to stress and maintain control over your actions. It’s about learning to pause and choose your responses deliberately rather than reacting impulsively.

3. Consistency in Self-Care: A commitment to daily practices that promote long-term health and wellness. Here, Melo advises that self-care routines should be personalised and adaptable to fit individual needs and lifestyles.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, an executive or anyone seeking more balance, remember that taking the time for intentional self-care is not just beneficial—it’s essential. I encourage you to implement at least one of Melo’s strategies today, and start the journey to a healthier, more balanced self.
