Burning bright – not burning out!

Posted on by

The future you will live is the one you are creating in this very moment

Do you need to take time out from the ‘busy-ness’ of your world? To take a breath while you explore what it is you really want to be doing, what it is you really want to have and how it is you really want to be?

If you want to press the ‘pause button’ for a while, then what coach, NLP practitioner and the founder of Odonnata Donna Smith has to say on this week’s Girls Around Town is sure to be of interest…

Donna will be joining Rosalyn and June in the studio on Sunday to explain how her Burn Bright workshops help clients who take part spot the signs of overwhelm and potential burn out before it happens.

And how those clients are equipped with the tools and techniques to head that off and help them get a clearer idea of where they are now and where they want to be in terms of their personal burn bright journey.

Tune in or listen online between 10am and 12 noon to find out what ‘Odonnata’ means, why Donna chose it as the name of her business and where her own journey will be taking her next.

And make sure you’re ready to take note of some of her top tips to help you burn bright – and not out!

Challenging perceptions of beauty

Posted on by

After more than ten years working in marketing, global brand management and trends prediction for a multinational health and beauty company, Sindy Kaur realised that, despite her love of the industry, she wasn’t always comfortable with the messages coming out through various media around what beauty is…

“I found it too narrow, too ‘perfect’ and not always something people could relate to,” says Sindy, the founder of Challenging Perceptions of Beauty and next week’s guest on Girls Around Town.

“So when I left the corporate world, I decided to diversify and deepen my understanding around how those perceptions of beauty and ‘success’ affect women on the other side of the industry.”

In 2005 she spent a year training as a life coach and since then has worked with people from different cultures and all walks of life, gaining valuable insights into the effects that trying to conform to other peoples’ expectations can have on self esteem and happiness.

Join Rosalyn and June on Sunday when Sindy will be describing some of the ways in which she has set out to challenge those perceptions and help to influence change.

“It’s not about attacking the beauty industry or the media and we’re not trying to dictate to people how they should or shouldn’t think or behave,” she adds. “Our aim is to open up conversations, to get people thinking and taking responsibility for the messages around beauty and success that we’re creating and passing onto the next generation.”

If you’re an outwardly successful woman who feels like a fraud on the inside or you want to get back on back on course after life has given you a knock or a wake-up call (think turning 50, divorce, redundancy or illness perhaps) you’ll want to hear about Sindy’s coaching programme Behind The Mask too.

Tune in or listen online between 10am and 12 noon to find out how she takes her clients through the steps to shedding the ‘mask’ – the ‘face’ they put on for the outside world when they’re not sure who they are.

And how in doing so they’re able to re-align with what’s really important to them, to reveal their true power and enjoy what they’ve achieved…

Reflect, refuel, refocus

Posted on by

Once we reach midlife we begin to crave a slower pace – more quality time to spend with family, friends and loved ones, freedom to enjoy creative pursuits and space to do the things we really want to do.

But for many of us, it feels so out of reach! After years of putting our own needs last in order to meet the demands of those around us, where do we even start? It can feel impossible to envisage living any other way.

If this sounds like you, next weekend’s guest on Girls Around Town has the solution…

Sarah McNicol helps hard-working, caring men and women in their 40s and 50s to create an exciting, fulfilling next chapter of their life. Her coaching programmes offer clients the time and space to totally rediscover their life and reclaim their future, inviting them to re-tip the scales and find greater balance between work, life and career.

Sarah will be sharing some of her own story when she joins Rosalyn and June in the studio on Sunday. Tune in or listen online between 10am and 12 noon to find out how she made shifts in her life to find a way of working and living that better suited her.

And how her new mid-year coaching programme is designed to help others to Reflect Refuel Refocus…
