Whether a new business opens up physically near you or in the online world - no matter what industry you are in, there will always be others doing what you do and offering what you offer.

Barbara Mutedzi is a guest with an astonishing background - a Conscious Leadership Coach & a Social and Medical Anthropologist trained in Neuroscience based coaching. This is such an intelligent discussion about Barbara's life and her business startup story as she shares her thoughts and experiences. We talk about money - how she funded her startup, how she figures out her pricing and what she wished she'd done differently regarding the money side of her business. Barbara has a unique perspective on FEAR and mindset which is solidly based in her studies and life experiences. She is practical an d at the same time encouraging and optimistic. When I ask the question "what do you say to someone dreaming of their own business?" She says "Put your Purpose in the Drivers seat and put fear in the boot and take the first step!"

Fear holds many people back from truly making their impact in the world, from being more true to who they want to be, who they are meant to be. Maybe this is you? I usually consider myself to be brave, to be courageous and yet at times I find myself - apprehensive - that's my word for fear! We've learned to name it other things. In this episode I talk about a technique that I have found incredibly helpful. It's making friends with fear and understanding what my fear is protecting me from.

Leah Weinberg helps couples plan their wedding - she is a wedding planner. For 10 years Leah was a lawyer and she has left that behind her to build her own business.  This is quite a story. She talks about money and pricing and the tough times when it feels so personal and what you can do to move on ... She says that rejection feels especially personal when you start out in a business that's provides a service.  Rejection is part of being in business.  She assures us that "your skin will toughen and it will hurt less …” and that's what I have found as well. She believes there is somebody for everybody AND there really is enough business to go around. And this is how she counteracts the “non-wins” and how she uses this belief to help not take things so personally … Leah is fun to chat with, this is a friendly interview and I believe you will enjoy listening in.

This is an in-between episodes. In between the Interviews! Today I talk about affirmations, what they mean to me, how I use them and why I believe they are more than just "believe it and you will see it" I first became aware of affirmations when I was in high school and they have remained part of my life since then. Repeating positive affirmations and expecting things to change doesn't work. This is because it targets the conscious level of your mind - not the unconscious. Affirmations need to be supported by action – they don’t work on their own Recently I gave my Thrive coaching group an activity to highlight their unique gifts. They all said it is a terrific reminder of just how much they have achieved!   In this epidote I share this same activity for you to use for yourself and this is your CTA from this episode. Please do let me know how it goes I share some of my personal favourites I'd love to hear how you use affirmations. Let me know on ingrid@healthynumbers.com.au or leave me a comment wherever you

It’s been quite a journey for Andrea Uvanni and we are fortunate that she shares some of her experience with us here in this episode. If you are in an environment where you are the only one like you and everyone questions your skills and abilities – take heart from Andrea’s story It has taken the past 10 years for her to find her way, to become someone whom her peers no longer question, and in fact accept her knowledge, and even seek her opinion. 10 long years. This is partly because she has gained a tremendous amount of knowledge over the past 10 years – and it is also due to the number of hurdles overcome, the discriminations fought through and biases proven wrong. Sound familiar? Andrea speaks passionately about building her own consulting business. She is smart, persistent and extremely passionate about the work she does with her clients In this interview she talks about her approach to goal setting and planning She speaks about dealing with rejection and how not to take it personally If you have your not
