S2 EP 23 - Who's life are you living?

Today’s show is a brilliant one. We’ve all had some sort of battle with our weight and there are sooooo many ways to apparently lose and manage our health goals but what’s the secret to fat loss?It’s the unsexy, highly revered in the medical industry, 5000 year old formula… wait for it… eat less than you move. Literally, eat less than you exert.In this episode, I talk with straight-talking health coach Sharan from Nutrition and You who helps women ditch the dieters mindset and focus on embracing their mind body and soul.This is all achieved in as little as 90 days with 1:1 coaching. Sharan dispels the dieter’s mindset and she provides some awesome tips to navigate the last few months of the year so that you can start achieving your weight goals - especially if you’re feeling like it’s your last chance. There are always small steps you can take, so why not?If you love the Self Care 101 podcast, please can you head over to Apple podcasts, subscribe and leave me a review.

S2 EP 22 - Interview Sharan Nutrition and You: The secret to weight loss

Unleashing your potential is about doing more with your life than just working, paying the bills, a holiday here and there and then dying. There’s so much more that we can be doing that not only makes us feel great about our lives but also contributes to the lives of others. We tend to think in terms of our bubble only, thinking that we don’t have time or that we’re not good enough to contribute to society but if we don’t contribute, we will end up hating our lives and die of boredom. So let’s not do that.I want to be clear here that I’m not talking about quitting your 9-5. This is about doing more than just working. I know work takes up most of our time and lives but there is time and space available for more fulfilling pursuits. Puja&apos;s WebsiteInstagramSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Selfcare101 )

S2 EP 21 - Unleash your potential for a more fulfilling life

At some point, we&apos;ve all felt when life is just too much so in this episode, I&apos;m sharing a vulnerable and very honest account of going through a low point.This wasn&apos;t a scripted or planned show and I&apos;m not even sure what the message is but if it&apos;s relatable, if it resonates, please let me know.The biggest message is probably not to quit. Just keep going because you have greatness to share in this world and the world will miss it if you don&apos;t.So don&apos;t succumb to when life is just too much. Take stock, reflect, be compassionate, take a break but just don&apos;t quit.Book a FREE 1 hour Coaching experience with meFollow me on Instagram

S2 EP 20 - When life is just too much

We all wear clothes and shoes, many of us also get our hair done and wear makeup but did you know that you can use the energy of fashion to align with your manifestations?When you are manifesting (which is a constant activity, it’s not a wish) you need to align your actions towards that goal. So, you might decide that you’re going to use affirmations everyday to affirm what you want. Or you might tell everybody who will listen about your goals. However, there are many other ways to align and how you dress is a really important one. Colours play a big factor here and colour therapy can attest to this. You know how it feels when you wear something that just pops! Everyone notices, you feel amazing and your vibe is high. And that’s what manifestation is all about, high vibes.So in this show, Fashion stylist to the stars, Donna McCulloch is going to share how she fuses energy into her work with every one of her clients. She’ll also do a mini virtual makeover for me so you can experience her gifts in action. We’ll be addressing how judgement can be harmful and how to channel kindness when you see a woman looking fire, when it’s so ingrained in us, not to do it.Book a FREE 1 hour Coaching experience with meFollow me on Instagram

S2 EP 19 - How to use the energy of fashion to align your manifestations

In this episode, I talk about Badges of honour that you’ll find people using - almost as a way to say, I’m woke! Don’t even get me started on woke people. What I’m talking about is saying that you’re something as if it’s so self-aware of you but then you’re either not turning it into a superpower or you don’t realise that there’s something not quite right about what you’re saying.I’m going to talk about a couple of examples that people tend to use as badges of honour and I’m going to flip it so that it becomes something helpful and powerful instead.I’ve picked a few that really piss me off (I find when something pisses me off, I can help better) so they are:EmpathsBusy peopleGlamourising overworking/ burnoutBook a FREE 1 hour Coaching experience with meFollow me on Instagram

S2 EP 17 - Why Badges of Honour are Harmful to your Wellbeing

So you read the title right, this is a very special episode co-hosted with my 5 yr old Mykah. He listens to the show (usually when I’m checking the editing in the car) and obviously loves the sound of my voice!I was inspired to do this episode because he’s going through some growing stuff at the moment and he understands so much that I wanted to get his perspective on what’s going on with him.My aim for this episode is to see if we can understand each other better in a bid to navigate his big feelings in a helpful way.For those of you listening with kids, you could use the questions I ask him with your own kids to open up a dialogue with them about their feelings - in the hope of normalising open communication with each other and showing them that you are the ultimate safe space for them. This will also help them understand compassion and trust.For those of you without kids, I hope the show inspires more self-awareness of your own big feelings and how you channel them in your day to day. I believe in keeping things simple so hopefully, Mykah’s answers will be simple and easy enough for you to do too.Puja&apos;s WebsitePuja&apos;s Instagram

S2 EP 18 - Navigating big feelings with my 5 yr old!

Do you think that you can survive a life-threatening disease just by adjusting your mindset? I know this is controversial but babe, there’s sooooo much out there now attesting to holistic therapy beating disease and obviously, I am here for it all! I’m going to preach it and now I’m discovering more sisters who are living breathing and preaching it too - so I am pumped.Donia Youssef is an award-winning author of adult & children’s books, she’s written a number of children’s books to help kids understand cancer including “the monster in mummy”, she’s a fierce campaigner for mental health and uses her social platforms to give others a voice to share their stories plus she’s working on an incredible project that will provide care and support to those facing or overcoming cancer.In this episode, Donia kindly shares her cancer journey, her strength, how she found the courage to get through the most traumatic times in her life and that she attributes it all to her mindset.It’s no secret that women have it tough and perhaps stronger women have it a little tougher because of the picture that they portray to everyone else. You know the one, that they’re always “fine.” Asking for help, getting support, being vulnerable and still carrying on with your day to day. It’s a lot and takes its toll especially if you don’t have the right community behind you. Donia Youssef is a powerhouse and I’m so grateful to have met her. She’s definitely supposed to be in my life.This was such a brilliant chat, I hope it inspires you as much as it did me.Donia&apos;s InstagramPuja&apos;s Website

S2 EP 16 - Interview with Donia Youssef: How mindset helped me heal from Cancer

A slightly different show today. I&apos;m offering you a gentle yet deeply relaxing Chakra balancing meditation.Usual programming will commence next week but for now, take the rest, enjoy the sounds and I hope it is helpful.As always, thank you for listening.Puja&apos;s WebsiteInstagram

S2 EP 15 - Being grounded and relaxed

Let’s talk about MONEY!Is a £500k 3 bedroom house in London expensive? Is a £5k handbag from Chanel expensive? Is a £600 sideboard expensive (my life is all about furniture from now until everything that I’ve ordered arrives for the new place - so expect a lot of furniture analogies) or what about a £45k car, is that expensive? Is £3k expensive for a counsellor or coach who can help you change your life and show you how to be happy? Is £100k expensive to join a dating site that guarantees you your perfect partner? Is £18k expensive for a cesarean? What about getting your hair cut and coloured for £100, is that expensive? Or going through IVF treatment for £25k which may or may not result in a baby, is that expensive?So many examples, but how can you define what is value vs. what is expensive?There’s no secret here, it’s just based on your income and experiences where you happily spend money. But what I want to achieve from this show is to help you with your money mindset.Puja&apos;s WebsiteInstagram

S2 EP 14 - How to manifest money - a practical guide

So it’s a ‘real-talk’ episode. I know the others are too but this one might hit a little harder because I know soooo many of us are feeling this way.I’m talking about the pressures of achieving your life goals. You know, get your career to a certain point, make the millions in your business, find the perfect partner, settle down, have the kids or have the pets, the holidays, the memories, the retirement fund, the holiday home all by the time you’re [insert specific age goal here].Now I’m not going to tell you that you can’t have it all - hell no, what kind of life coach would I be? But I am going to tell you that it might not happen the way you think it’s going to happen and that my friends is the biggest difference between those that do and those that don’t.I am also going to dive into a few more truths that you need to know because I want you to have whatever your heart desires and I’ll whatever I can, to help you get there.Puja&apos;s WebsiteInstagram

S2 EP 13 - How do we stop the pressure?

Today I’m excited to be talking about Luuurve! This one’s for the ladies who like men (although most bits will apply to everyone). We’re going to explore how you can get your man!I’ve wanted to do more love topics for a while because I love, love. It’s my favourite topic to explore with clients (maybe I should be a love coach?) but I just love it. When I was single, for the most part, I enjoyed it. But once I was approaching my late 20’s it started to grate on me. I felt extremely lonely. Now, we&apos;re a society that is perpetually lonely and believe me, getting a partner does not mean that the loneliness will subside. If anything, it just changes. But…. There is hope, there are things you can do to help you get your man and I’m here for all of it.I want everyone to have love, everyone who wants love, absolutely deserves it but there are probably a few things that you could tweak to make things work better for you.I hope you’ll find the show insightful and if anyone gets their man from applying the tips and tricks in this episode, please please let me know and I’ll celebrate with you!Puja&apos;s WebsiteInstagram

S2 EP 12 - How to get your man

Slightly different format today. I have a very special guest joining me to talk about being ghosted by friends.We all go through it at some point and we might have even been the ones doing the ghosting but why do we do it? And how can we cultivate better relationships with our friends?My guest today is Melody. She discovered me through the podcast and then came to a talk on Self-love I was hosting last year. We instantly hit it off and have stayed in touch since. I don’t tend to spend much time on social media but when I do, I like to look at stories and see how everyone is living their best life. I read a series of stories from Melody about this topic and just knew we needed to talk about it. This show is like a coaching conversation where we both explore the what, why and how of navigating friendships and I really hope that you’ll enjoy it as if you were in the room with us.Puja&apos;s WebsiteInstagram

S2 EP 11 - How To Cope When You're Being Ghosted By Friends

In today’s show I’m talking about - creating space to have more success in your life.We’re a people of doers. Always doing one thing and moving on to the next thing on auto-pilot. Even me. This week has been a major life and work admin week because I’m moving house. So not only have I got a busy life in general (school run, my work, seeing clients, all this lovely marketing stuff, socialising, keeping house, but I also added retail manager du jour into the mix as I’m selling lots of bits - I’m literally creating space this week and each day that I clear out more stuff, the lighter I’m feeling. I’m creating space for more life and more abundance (not just financial) but I want space for living my life because I’ve recently learned that I’ve been perpetually stressed, pretty much all of my life and I’m sure you’re no different.From education, to defining a career, making money so that I can buy a house, a car, nice things, travel more. Getting a partner, improving my career, making more money, then marrying, kids - and the host of things they bring, striving for my business, my clients, my relationships, my health, my kids&apos; inheritance. I’m 41 this year and I don’t think there has ever been a time where I have just chilled out and actually enjoyed my life. Always moving to the next thing and then next thing.Not anymore. This was my biggest learning when I turned 40 and reflected. Lucky that it coincided with the pandemic because I honestly don’t think I would have deeply reflected the way I did without it. I’ve learned that I’ve been surviving on auto-pilot and it has to stop. I want to get to my death bed and say, “I lived a great life.”And if you do too, I hope you’ll take the teachings from this show and apply it to your life now.Puja&apos;s WebsiteInstagram
