Permission To Podcast

If you're someone who's struggling to live the life you desire because of worries about what others think of you, then this podcast episode is here to help.

It's a truth we can all relate to that at some point, we've all spent time pondering, caring, or feeling anxious about what others think of us. While this is a completely normal and human behaviour, it can also stop us from building our dream life.

In today’s episode Sam is chatting to her friend and personal stylist Courtney Mills about her mission to help every client she works with, to have a wardrobe full of joyful, comfortable and functional pieces. They also chat about our self-worth and how that affects the clothes we wear.

In today’s episode I'm going to share three common misconceptions about self love and how these can get in the way of you treating yourself the way you deserve to be treated.

This is a bonus episode where I share three surprising shifts that occur when you anchor into self love and self trust (aka lessons from a 50k and 0k launch)

In this week’s episode Sam chats to Eliza Ludwig, Wealth & Growth Consultant about her journey to Permission Granted and how she learned to have the courage to set boundaries and learn to have her needs met.

They also talk about how Eliza marries life flow with cash flow, what that means and how it looks and feels.

In this week’s episode I’m talking about one of the biggest challenges I support women through in Permission Granted and asking the question “are you sabotaging your success?” 

Have you ever noticed yourself? 

• Running stories (lies) that all of your accomplishments might have been due to luck or chance

• Feeling fearful of getting exposed as a fraud

• Having a sense that you are not good enough / not enough

• Holding yourself back from opportunities 

• Worrying about making mistakes

This is a super personal episode about how sisterhood healed me. 

The reason I believe so deeply in sisterhood is because what I (and the psychotherapy community generally) believe is that change, and transformation happen through relationships with others and our relationship with ourselves. 

This is the episode to listen to whenever you are feeling wobbly or need to remember how powerful you are.

From talking to my community, I know some of you are feeling excited and yet some of you feel like you've lost your confidence or are feeling a bit wobbly at the beginning of 2023. 

This episode is part storytelling, part pep talk, with some tools and questions to help you remember how powerful you are.

In this week’s episode Sam chats to Jessie about what led her to Permission Granted and her biggest mindset shifts since working with Sam.  They also chat about Jessie’s journey with vulnerability and what the concept means to her.

About Jessie

Mum of three, FIFO wife, registered nurse and content nerd - I love helping other women in small business create marketing content that makes sales without feeling like they’re selling their soul.

The holidays can feel like a constant struggle to keep everyone happy 😢

Pulled in every direction by parents, partners, children and more

It’s time to say goodbye to stress and hello to a relaxing break 🙋‍♀️

But how? 🤔

Do you tell yourself that there’s no point starting a new habit because you’ll never be consistent?

Do you have a history of stopping and starting when it comes to working on your goals and dreams - such as building a business? Do you then shame yourself and think what’s the point, I never stick with things.

If so, this episode is for you!

Lately I've been reading a lot of books that confirm how I already see the world - which can be kind of comforting - I may do another episode on these books, but today I want to talk about two books that really shook up my world view. That changed the way I viewed the world and how I acted in the world.

In this episode we will touch on grief and loss and my three years as a Social Worker in Oncology. If this is not a subject that you would like to listen to then please check out my previous episodes and I can’t wait to see you next week for more.

I recently listened to my beautiful marketing coach Ellie Swift’s podcast on recession proofing your business and she inspired me to speak to this from a mindset and life point of view.

I’m noticing that so many of my coaching clients are feeling nervous about a potential recession. Here in Australia, we've got interest rates rising and cost of living going up. Globally, we have headlines about a looming recession. There is so much uncertainty in life right now and this is coming off the back of navigating a global pandemic.

In today's episode I’m sharing three skills that you can use to keep living your best life and stay hopeful even with a potential recession. I’ll also tell you why I believe so much in the power of hope and give you some questions you can ask yourself about how you want to live your life during uncertain times.

I’ve been having so many conversations about friendships with my 1:1 and group coaching clients recently. The desire for more authentic friendships is a common theme at the moment.

Today I’m chatting with my dear friend Alysha Oorjitham, Occupational Therapist, podcaster and Worthy to Expand / Permission Granted participant about her journey to signing up to two of my programs, her passion for sexual health and how we can use sex as self care

In this episode we will briefly touch on Alysha’s experiences of sexual assault. If this is not a subject that you would like to listen to then please check out my previous episodes and I can’t wait to see you next week for more.

A question that has been coming up a lot lately is what does self worth have to do with expansion. In this episode I’ll answer this question as well as:

• Exploring how a women with self worth shows up in the world

• Understand how self worth and expansion are interconnected

• Dive deeper into the relationship between self worth and expansion

What I know to be true is that when I am stretching myself, growing, taking courageous action / expanding, this is when my self-worth needs to be strongest but it's also when I feel my most vulnerable. This is why the concept of self worth is so key when it comes to expansion.

In this week’s episode I’m chatting with Holly Denton, qualified Social Worker and Worthy To Expand participant. We talk about what led Holly to sign up for Worthy To Expand (including the 1:1 VIP upgrade) and the mindset shifts that allowed her to treat herself as being worthy of expansion, growth and all the dreams she had. We also chat about her journey with breath work.

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode of Permission To

• How to let go of perfectionism - focus on progress not perfection

• How you can use breath work as a tool

• The mindset shifts that are possible in Worthy To Expand

When you pay attention and upgrade the way you talk to yourself you can create a new set point in your worthiness.

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode of Permission To

+ How to pay attention to the way you describe yourself and your life to others….

+ How to listen to the way you talk to yourself when life gets tough or you are in the messy middle of expansion

+ How to listen to how you can or can’t accept a compliment

I recently shared that Frankie is 9 months old. That’s 9 months of expansion for me:

+ Expanding into giving myself more grace and more space

+ Navigating business expansion alongside becoming a mum of two

+ Expanding into a relationship with my business where I fully trust the timing and the vision

In today’s episode I invite you to give yourself permission to explore what your current season of expansion means.

We all have stories about why we can’t have what we desire. Often the energy of those stories becomes bigger than the actual desire, or sitting with the uncertainty of if what we desire is possible becomes too much, so we put our lid on those desires. We push them away and distract ourselves with other things.

Where are you putting a lid on your true desires? Permission to listen to this …
