  • #122 - How To Say 'NO' Like Socrates
    Apr 7 2024

    How To Say 'NO' Like Socrates

    In today's fast-paced world, where societal pressures and expectations often dictate our actions, maintaining integrity and asserting ourselves with confidence can be challenging.

    However, by drawing inspiration from the teachings of ancient philosophers like Socrates, we can learn valuable lessons on the art of saying "NO" authentically and reclaiming our power in challenging situations.


    The Wisdom of Socrates.

    Socrates, the renowned ancient Greek philosopher, is celebrated for his unwavering commitment to truth and integrity, even in the face of adversity.

    His refusal to compromise his beliefs, as evidenced by his decision to drink hemlock rather than recant his teachings, serves as a timeless example of moral courage and ethical fortitude.


    Asserting Yourself with Confidence.

    Assertiveness is a key component of self-esteem and personal empowerment. By learning how to assert ourselves with confidence and clarity, we can effectively communicate our boundaries and preferences to others, thereby safeguarding our integrity and well-being.

    Socrates' unyielding stance against societal pressures reminds us of the importance of standing firm in our convictions and refusing to acquiesce to unreasonable demands.

    Practical Strategies for Saying "NO".

    Saying "NO" authentically requires practice and self-awareness. Here are some practical strategies inspired by Socrates' teachings:

    1. Know Your Values: Before saying "NO" to others, it's essential to clarify your values and priorities. Reflect on what matters most to you and use these principles as a guide when making decisions.

    2. Set Boundaries: Establish clear boundaries in your personal and professional life to protect your time, energy, and well-being. Communicate these boundaries assertively and respectfully without apologising or making excuses.

    3. Practice Self-Compassion: Saying "NO" may evoke feelings of guilt or anxiety, especially if you're accustomed to prioritising others' needs over your own. Practice self-compassion and remind yourself that it's okay to prioritise your own well-being.

    4. Use "I" Statements: When expressing your boundaries or declining requests, use "I" statements to assert your perspective without assigning blame or judgment.

      For example, "I appreciate your invitation, but I've already committed to other priorities."

    Personal Reflection.

    As a Counsellor, Hypnotherapist, and Life Coach, I've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of refusing to compromise one's integrity.

    In my journey, I've encountered moments when I've been asked to betray my values or sacrifice my authenticity for the sake of conformity.

    However, by drawing inspiration from Socrates' example and embracing the principles of assertiveness and self-respect, I've learned to navigate these challenges with grace and integrity.


    Embrace Your Power to Say "NO"

    In conclusion, embracing the wisdom of Socrates can empower you to assert yourself with integrity and authenticity in all areas of your life.

    By practising assertiveness and honouring your values, you can reclaim your power to say "NO" authentically and live with purpose and integrity.

    Remember, your voice matters, and you have the power to shape your own destiny.

    So, channel your inner Socrates, stand firm in your convictions, and embrace the freedom that comes from living with integrity.

  • #121 - How The Richest Man in Babylon Changed My Life
    Mar 31 2024
    The Richest Man in Babylon Changed My Life. Saying The Richest Man In Babylon changed my life may seem like a bold claim, but it is absolutely true. In this video, I share how George S. Clason's book The Richest Man in Babylon transformed my financial situation and my life. It taught me things I did not know, changed how I approached finances, and, more importantly, inspired me to take action based on the advice in the book. This empowered me to take control of my finances, and things have improved ever since. Without giving away any tactics from the book, I delve into how its timeless principles helped me shift from struggling financially by sharing some stories from my own past. At the time of writing, this version of the book has an incredible 44,323 reviews on Amazon, and the paperback version is only £6.99! I encourage you to get this book if you feel your finances control you instead of you controlling them. The lessons in this book also helped me change a 20+ year career too! I went from being a financially struggling Police officer to a Counsellor, Hypnotherapist and Life Coach with my own successful therapy business and becoming a best-selling author, a YouTuber and a podcaster. Quite a change, don't you think? And it could change your life too because if I can, you can. Discover how this classic book can change your perspective on wealth and set you on the path to financial freedom. I hope you enjoy this episode.

  • #120 - How Counselling Helped Theseus Defeat The Minotaur
    Mar 25 2024
    How Counselling Helped Theseus Defeat The Minotaur In the ancient city of Athens, there lived a young hero named Theseus, destined for greatness but unsure of his path. As he prepared to embark on a perilous journey to defeat the monstrous Minotaur lurking within the labyrinth of Crete, Theseus sought guidance from a wise mentor, the renowned Athenian statesman and philosopher, Solon. Solon, known for his wisdom and insight, welcomed Theseus into his home and listened intently as the young hero shared his doubts and fears about the daunting task ahead. With compassion and clarity, Solon offered Theseus sage advice and timeless wisdom to help him navigate the challenges that lay ahead. Inspired by Solon's words of encouragement, Theseus embarked on his journey with newfound confidence and determination. For him, something had changed internally. He now believed in himself! Armed not only with his sword and shield but also with the wisdom of his mentor, he navigated the twists and turns of the labyrinth with purpose and resolve. As he confronted the Minotaur in the heart of the maze, Theseus drew upon the lessons imparted to him by Solon, facing the fearsome creature with courage and cunning. In the end, it was not just brute strength that ensured Theseus's victory but also the wisdom and guidance he received from his mentor. Returning triumphant to Athens, Theseus honoured Solon as not only a mentor but also a friend and counsellor who had played a pivotal role in his journey to heroism. And so, the legend of Theseus and the Minotaur became not just a tale of bravery and adventure but also a testament to the transformative power of receiving wise counsel and mentorship. As we reflect on the story of Theseus and Solon, we are reminded of the importance of seeking guidance and wisdom from those who have walked the path before us. Through counselling, life coaching, and mentorship, we can navigate the labyrinth of life with confidence and clarity, drawing upon the lessons of the past to forge a brighter future. Join me as we delve into the timeless wisdom of Greek mythology and uncover the secrets to living a life of purpose, courage, and fulfilment.

  • #119 - The 10 Monkeys - A New Therapy Book For Children
    Mar 10 2024
    The 10 Monkeys - A New Therapy Book For Children. As an online Counsellor, Hypnotherapist and Life Coach in the UK, helping those with emotional or psychological problems is my day-to-day role. My latest project, which is very close to my heart, is specifically aimed at helping children with their emotions too, in the form of therapeutic books that contain life lessons and coping strategies. The series of books follows this theme - There is a character that either has an existing issue or a new issue, and it is impacting them emotionally or psychologically. By sharing this issue with another, they discover help and support is never too far away, and also possible answers as well. Within the books are 'therapy-style questions' for the parent/adult caregiver and child to pause and explore the emotions the character may be feeling in that moment. It also encourages the reader to consider possible solutions or answers that would assist the character. Join me in this video as I introduce my latest therapy book for children, 'The 10 Monkeys'. This heartwarming story follows Charlie, a young monkey who is afraid of heights. He discloses this to his mother who provides a suggestion - To enlist the help of the ten best climbers in the troop to share their skills with him and help him overcome his fear. These ten monkeys become mentors for young Charlie on his journey of exploration. Through engaging storytelling and interactive therapy-style questions, children are encouraged to explore their own emotions and find solutions to their challenges. I'll also share insights into the therapeutic techniques used in the book and how it can benefit young readers aged 6-10. The 10 Monkeys is also educational as it contains ten fascinating facts about monkeys at the end of the book. 'The 10 Monkeys' is now available on Amazon, providing a valuable resource for children and families navigating fears and anxieties.
