EP 25 | Goal Setting Hacks For Rebels Who Don't Like Goals

Here’s the truth: I’ve never loved goals. Too rigid. Too boxy. Too much pressure to “get it right.” And yet… without a destination, a map, or even the hint of a treasure, I end up going nowhere. So how do you set goals when your rebel brain pushes back every time? In this short episode, I share: * The importance of direction * Why minimum and maximum goals create freedom (and motivation) instead of resistance * A simple way to break down resistance and move forward when you are unsure of the best step This is for you if you’ve ever set a goal, abandoned it, or felt like a failure for changing direction. Listen in. Show up. Do something small. Seriously with the right strategy, your rebel brain can work for you, not against you to keep moving toward your own version of treasure.

When Something Feels Like Sand In Your Knickers

Lisa’s in one corner of the world. Carla’s in the other. We chit-chat starting with the relatable chaos of shouting “Fin!” to kids at the beach in Australia and why it's probably not a great idea. Then we get to the good stuff (so hang in there)… What happens when life or your actions rub you the wrong way. It’s not pretty. The body tracks a tanty. Thoughts become doom spirals.You snap. You cringe. You regret.And instead of being that person you want to be, you’re caught in the cycle again.We’ve been there. More than once.And the worst part? It feels like it just happens to you. Like you don’t have a choice.But what if that friction is actually data - your body and emotions showing you something useful? That’s what we explore: lived experience, research-backed approaches, and simple ways to notice the friction, learn from it, and respond differently. Enjoy! And because talking only goes so far, we floated the idea of the Beta Sand-in-Your-Knickers Journal Journey, a 6-day experiment where you get to journal, shake out the grit, and test what actually works in real life coming from Master’s research and our client work!

EP23 | Create More Happiness Everyday

Do You Outsource Your Energy and Happiness? I get it. I used to believe other people’s actions controlled how I felt.Praise and I was up. Criticism and I was down.“They did this, so I feel like this.” That pattern runs deep. Families teach it. Schools reinforce it. Society echoes it. And marketing? It engineers it until it feels normal. But here’s the truth: your happiness isn’t in someone else’s hands.Not your boss, your partner, your kids, or your friends. Your only circle of control is you - your actions, your perspective, your perception of the world. In this episode, we’ll explore: * How to spot when you’re outsourcing your happiness * Why the lens you view things through may be filtering events to make you unhappy * A strategy to direct your energy so it doest drain you * How to amplify and move towards more of what you desire by reclaiming your focus * Real-life examples showing how two people can live the same event but walk away with completely different stories This isn’t about ignoring frustration or pretending everything’s fine.It’s about adjusting your focus. When you own your perspective and stop outsourcing your joy, you become luminous. Enlivened. Grounded and free.
