The Liberated woman Podcast with Tamu Thomas

Creating work that works for me too.

In this episode I am talking about changing my business model so that it supports me too.

 

A huge lesson from 2022 was about learning not to confuse my capability with my capacity. I want to be able to continue providing transformative coaching to my clients, but I also want to do so in a way that supports my own health, joy and mission to be a well rested woman.

 

So I am making changes in the pursuit of a work life harmony so that my work is not at the expense of me! This includes changing to an evergreen model.

 

I also share why I think an evergreen model supports emotional maturity and personal responsibility!

 

If you are thinking about changing the way you work so that you can improve your quality of life take this as a sign to do it!

 

I also mention my mastermind for socially conscious values driven business women. You can find details here. [LINK]

How the ’mother wound’ can impact personal growth and entrepreneurship.

Hello and welcome!

 

In this episode, I explore the concept of the "mother wound" and how it can impact personal growth and entrepreneurship.

 

I discussed what the mother wound is, how it manifests, and explore strategies for healing and moving forward.

 

I cover:

• What the mother wound is how it can impact personal growth and entrepreneurship.
• How the mother wound can affect our beliefs about ourselves, our relationships, and our abilities.
• Examples of how the mother wound can show up in our lives and the impact it can have on our entrepreneurial pursuits.
• Tips for recognising the mother wound and strategies for overcoming it.
• Strategies for healing the mother wound, including therapy, coaching, self-care, and setting boundaries.
• The importance of forgiveness and how it can be a key factor in overcoming the mother wound.

 

I hope this episode has been helpful.

 

Remember, healing is a journey, and it takes time and effort, but it is possible to learn how to heal the mother wound and achieve success in all areas of life.

Is your deep inner work holding you back?

Is your deep inner work a help or a hindrance?

 

I am fascinated by the way our unmet needs show up in how we live love and work. I am especially interested in how they impact our work as what we do to make a living has a huge impact on our lives! 

 

The whole 12 + we spend in school is all about preparing us for the world of work.

 

In this episode I am sharing some thoughts on the way 'deep inner' work can be resistance and a subconscious attempt to re-enact familiar patterns from childhood. 

 

If your deep inner work is keeping you stuck, it's holding you back. 

 

I'd love to hear how this landed with you.

 

P.s. I am hosting a 2 day online event to help you stop (over)thinking and start doing. Info here [LINK]

Healing for growth vs healing as resistance with Ruthie Zerai Semere

Hello you, welcome to the first interview in my recently rebranded podcast!

 

Today I am joined by the wonderful life and business coach Ruthie Zerai Semere.

 

In this conversation, Ruthie and I talk about the difference between healing for growth and healing as a ruse for resistance. This conversation was inspired by a conversation Ruthie and I had about the ways we have seen the people we work with unconsciously avoid taking action because they get stuck in their healing process. 

 

We explored the reasons why this may occur and how protective patterns from childhood impact our growth or avoidance.

 

We also touch on our experience as daughters of immigrants and how our blackness affects our approach to healing and growth work. Of course we  talk about the ways in which our toxic productivity and people pleasing served us and why it had to be released in order for us to embody our healthiest adult selves. 

 

It's a really gorgeous conversation. I am delighted to share it with you.

Introduction to the work less, live more podcast

I am evolving and so is my podcast!

 

Welcome to the newly rebranded, Work less. Live more podcast.

 

In this intro podcast episode I'm sharing the shift in focus of my podcast and my work.

 

Here is the quote I shared in this episode:

 

"Only from a capitalist viewpoint being productive is a moral virtue, if not a moral imperative. From the viewpoint of the working class, being productive simply means being exploited" - Silvia Federici

Childhood adaptations. Adult limitations.

In this episode I share how childhood adaptations become maladaptive in adulthood. The way we learn to cope with caregivers that aren't meeting our need to be whole can look like what we call self sabotage and limiting beliefs in adulthood. However they are maladaptive coping strategies and protection mechanisms.

 

These patterns of behaviour can make out attempts to grow and develop our businesses feel like a threat and trigger our learnt survival responses.

 

Ultimately these things limit our ability to develop self-belief - our beliefs shape our reality.

 

On Friday 23rd September I will be teaching a masterclass about the skill of self belief and practical ways to create new beliefs at my Embody Your Future NOW mini virtual retreat - plus a whole lot more.

Being your whole radiant self.

Welcome to this beautifully nourishing conversation with Jazreena Harlow on being your radiant self.

 

In this episode Jazreena and I talk about the importance of allowing ourselves to be held, why representation matters and how we are all part of a collective whole.

 

We also talk about being soft and how complex it can be when you are a Black woman. We also explore the significant energy required to go against your conditioning to heal and do things in a new way.

The aim is to inspire you to step into the core essence of who you are, to live in full expression with vibrancy and truth. Jaz utilises sound healing and human design to help you feel safe enough to meet yourself in truth work and how you’re here to shine.

Heart talk with Sas Petherick on being present.

Welcome to the first Conversations From The Heart: Heart Talk where I have the opportunity to have a heartfelt conversation with a wonderful guest.

 

Conversations From The Heart: Heart Talk, begins with a body scan (you can join in too if it is safe for you to do so). The conversation is guided by whatever comes up in the moment for my guest. There are no interview questions, no set script and hardly any editing. Pauses and process time - the things that make us human are deliberately left untouched.

 

In a fast-paced world of expeditious efficiency and trying to do things in the shortest time possible I offer an oasis. 

 

An oasis where there is no race to hot takes or intensity. Our conversations take the time they take and my guests and I have space to be our perfectly imperfect human selves. 

 

Today I am joined by my friend and resplendent human being, Sas Petherick for my first heart-led conversation.

 

In this conversation, Sas and I talk about sisterhood, discernment and the precious care friendship and being a friend requires.

 

We talk about the elusive nature of being present and how easily we take it for granted even though it's all we have. Sas' connection to her heart via our body scan made the preciousness of now even more apparent as she had a serious heart condition that could have had a fatal impact. Sas' tender heart reminds her of the importance of being here now and returning whenever she ventures into the past or future for too long.

 

We talk about the enforced stillness of the pandemic and lessons thrust upon us by having to sit in our aloneness and begin to claim who we are. Sas shares why she is excited about this possibility.

 

We also get geeky and talk about academic stuff we love!

 

This is a really gentle conversation, I hope it offers you some comfort.

 

A bit about Sas:

Sas Petherick is obsessed with helping you heal your self-doubt. Sas is a Master Coach and Founder of Self-belief School and the Self-belief Coaching Academy where she teaches evidence-based approaches and proven coaching tools. Sas hosts the Courage and Spice podcast for humans with Self-doubt. You’ll find Sas on The Gram: @saspetherick.

 

Also, I am excited to share that my new hybrid life and business coaching programme Emancipate your business is open for enrollment now. 

 

Your business has its own life force energy that needs to be emancipated from your unmet needs so that it has enough space to serve YOU as well as your gorgeous community.

I want to help you create a life and business that puts you and your needs at the centre. No more hiding unmet needs in business strategy that makes anxiety an unconscious (toxic) productivity tool.

 

Your success does not need to deplete you. Book a no-pressure, complimentary call here [LINK] to see if this programme will be of service to you.
