Welcome to episode 12 of Overcoming the Shit Show! This week’s episode is for those longing for a sense of expansion and newness.

This episode Soph and Halley chat about being on the road, travelling to depths of life, becoming aware of our   privilege and the loneliness of entrepreneurship. 

Halley also speaks on her mental health journey, the ins and outs of the challenges she’s faced and what has been taken away from the experience so far.

Halley is a multi-disciplinary creative moving through the world differently. She believes that ‘work’ should be something that fills you with purpose and passion and has dedicated the last few years in the pursuit of finding hers. A traveller, lover of people, child of the sun and sea, most at peace in nature, she found her home in Perth until recently, when she set sail into the world to find the next place to call home. Big conversations and deepening her knowledge are two of her biggest loves, along with dogs of course!

Together we touch on:

✨The power of choice and taking responsibility 

✨Sometimes the dream isn’t all that it is cracked up to be

✨How we have been conditioned to not have boundaries, and how to shift that 

✨The heartache of losing a beloved pet

Come hang out with me as I chat about creating room in your life for things that serve you. Through some personal experiences of rehoming our dog and saying no to things that no longer feel like a %*#$ yes!  

Please excuse my sniffiness and throat clearing, Covid has hung around for a lil bit.

Some ways to create room: 

-cleaning 

-decluttering 

-saying no to things you said yes to 

-delegating 

-rearranging 

-removing 

-hanging out with people only if they feel like a fuck yes

And just because you can - doesn’t mean you should!

So much love,

Soph

Supporting your partner in their evolution

Trusting the process

The power of "bribing"
