Join me for a very casual check-in as we chat about Easter and balancing work and home life during school holidays. 
We also discuss how to recalibrate our goals - both financially and personally - as we transition from Q1 into Q2. As you reflect on Q1, what do you need to Start - Stop - or Continue doing as we step into the next 90 days, and the last quarter before the end of the financial year?
It's a candid conversation about what's working, what to tweak (and not burn down), and how to step into the coming months with clarity and purpose.

Sam Dhu is a Psychotherapist & Facilitator of Permission, a Mum to two young girls, and passionate advocate for being radically kind and compassionate to yourself. 
As a highly sensitive person Sam believes it is possible to be deeply ambitious and successful, AND soft and sensitive at the same time. In fact, she identifies as holding both identities herself.
Terms like ‘self-compassion’ and ‘self-acceptance’ get used a lot these days. But through her degree in social work, post-graduate qualifications, training in cognitive behavioural therapy, family therapy, gestalt therapy, and decades as a practising therapist and coach, Sam knows these inner resources are the difference between women being stuck in survival mode and confidently thriving.


In this conversation, Sam and I discussed:
The difference between coaching and counselling and what led Sam, a trained psychotherapist, to add coaching to the ways she can support her clients. How ambition and sensitivity can coexist, and Sam's personal journey of understanding and embracing that she's a highly sensitive human. Sam shares her framework for how she approaches this in her own life and with her clients.Why we should "follow the plan, not the mood" and how can that can sometimes feel difficult as a business owner when you're struggling personally.Giving ourselves permission to break out of conditioning, Sam's favourite mode of self-care and role modelling to our children the importance of looking after ourselvesYou can find Sam over on Instagram, and running the Slow Mastermind with business coach Jess Miller. Sam also runs an annual program called Permission Granted, and you can listen to her Permission To podcast.

Are you a chronic overthinker when it comes to making decisions?
If so, you're not alone. I wanted to share some insights into some conversations we've been having at home lately, as well as with my clients. 

In this short solo episode, I chat about the common struggle of overthinking decisions and making the same decision repetitively and the toll it takes on our mental energy.
From addressing open loops in our minds to reframing decisions as experiments, I offer practical advice to reclaim mental clarity and make intentional choices.

I talk about:
The concept of open loops in the brainStrategies to break free from overthinking, including blocking out time, setting rules, and implementing trial periodsReflecting on decision-making through key questions and intuitive guidanceEncouraging a shift from right or wrong thinking to embracing decisions as the next step in our journeyThe importance of seeking support in navigating through decision-making processes
