The Rewriters

In this episode, we’ll explore why the common advice to "silence" or "erase" your inner critic is destined to fail. Instead, we’ll dive into the transformative power of listening to, learning from, befriending – and ultimately transcending – that critical inner voice. Whether you're struggling with confidence, imposter syndrome or negative self-talk, this episode provides guidance and techniques to turn your harshest critic into your greatest ally. You'll learn: The psychology of the inner critic: What it actually is and why it’s trying to protect you. Identifying limiting beliefs: How to spot the hidden assumptions holding you back. Actionable tools & techniques: Methods for managing the inner critic in-the-moment and longer-term. A deep-dive case study: A real-life look at someone’s personal experience with their inner critic. Self-coaching framework: Questions to help you befriend and move beyond your critic, starting today. Stop fighting your mind and start leading it.   Resources referenced: ‘Decoding the inner critic’s origins and purpose’ by Dr. Nelda Andersone: https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/human-inner-dynamics/202312/decoding-the-inner-critics-origins-and-purpose Dr Kristin Neff’s exercise for changing your critical self-talk: https://self-compassion.org/exercises/exercise-5-changing-your-critical-self-talk/ The Rewriters Podcast - 'Grow confidence and overcome imposter syndrome’: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/re-release-how-to-grow-confidence-and-overcome/id1538589146?i=1000720570445 Ready to slowly transform how you live and work?

Hello Rewriters - Happy International Women's Day and welcome to this month’s episode. Today I'm speaking with Nicki Coe - Marketing Strategist, Business Coach and Co-Founder of the marketing agency Luna & Lion. Nicki worked in corporate media for many years but always knew she wanted to work for herself someday. Although she was constantly coming up with business ideas and plans, nothing stuck – she was always stumped by not having all of the answers and all of the detail laid out before she began. It was only when she overcame the old story that success requires you to know where you want to go that she was able to embrace and trust the pull of the next step, rather than planning for the big end destination. Ultimately, it was through this letting go of control and the need to know for sure that led to her creating two successful and fulfilling businesses. During our conversation Nicki shares her thoughts on: Overcome the need to know for sure in your career Starting a business with your best friend Using your emotions and feelings in goal & business planning Resources discussed: Risk Forward: the Rewards of Not Knowing | Victoria Labalme | TEDxSantaBarbara: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TC6NIY56S0A The Source | Dr. Tara Swart: https://www.taraswart.com/the-source/  Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing (Tuckman's Model): https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newLDR_86.htm   Connect with Nicki Coe Connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicki_coe/?hl=en Explore more: https://nickicoe.com/ Find out more about Luna+Lion Connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lunaandlionagency/?hl=en Explore more: https://lunaandlion.com/ Connect with Monique Get ‘The Weekly Rewrite’ for tips and stories about creating a work+life that works: www.rewriterewrite.com/get-the-weekly-rewrite.

Pippa is passionate about giving small business owners the knowledge and confidence they need to get their business visible and help them to grow through PR. What sets Pippa apart is the way she widens access to PR and demystifies an otherwise expensive, intimidating and inaccessible industry. Pippa rewrote her own career story leaving PR agency life and work as a magazine editor to create a business that makes PR accessible and doable for businesses who may have felt it was out of reach for them. She loves PR and she loves helping people succeed and now she does both in a way that also works for her and the way she wants to live.

Welcome to 'The Rewriters' podcast. In this episode I speak with Sarah Potter AKA La Dolce Vita Coach. Sarah is a Hypnotherapist and Emotional Intelligence Coach, she offers Reiki, Marketing for healers, coaches and therapists and she's also a Vegan Cake Maker! Sarah describes herself as a 'multi-potential' woman. We talk about what this means during our conversation, but essentially Sarah has lots of loves and different threads to her career. She is unapologetic about it and she loves to help other women unfurl their own multi-potential careers too. Coaching and hypnosis helped Sarah get unstuck from an outwardly successful life in international marketing that left her feeling hollow inside. Using many of the tools we discuss in this episode, she was able to build a life that embraced her love for travel, service and creativity – all supported by a portfolio (or multi-potential) career. During our conversation we also discuss the role intuition and values played in her career changes and try to dispel some of the myths about changing your mind mid-career.

My guest is Izzy McLean, a Transformational Coach and founder of The Whole Of The Moon, who works with women to help them make the changes they want to see in their lives. One of her key programmes She Bangs the Drum is dedicated specifically to women wanting a more positive relationship with alcohol. Driven by her desire to understand and get a handle on her relationship with alcohol, Izzy spent many years studying the science and practice of behaviour change before training as a coach and resigning from her leadership role in education to start her own coaching practice. Now, she's on a mission to share what she has learnt and help other women make the changes they want to see in their lives too. During this conversation Izzy and I share the reasons why we each decided to reassess our relationship with alcohol and where we’re at in our own journeys. This episode was created for anyone who has a niggle that their relationship with alcohol might not be working for them either. For more from Izzy...
