Sparking joy.

Podcast conversations this week have focused on how you spark joy - even when sometimes you might not feel so joyful.

We've discussed how clothes can build confidence, improve your mindset and create that sense of joy.

Similarly we talked about the songs that do the same thing. Hearing a specific song can instantly take you back to an moment or a memory so going into next week, here are some ones that spark joy and positivity...

1. Sia - Unstoppable
2. Imagine Dragons - On top of the world
3. Cornershop - Brimful of Asha
4. The Killers - Mr Brightside
5. Calvin Harris - Giant

Any to add?

(Big crazy glasses a must for sparking joy!)

'Courage to tell the story of who you are with you

'Courage to tell the story of who you are with your full heart' Brené Brown.

In this week's podcast Adrienne Cole tells her story with her whole heart. She talks about her resilience during a very difficult time but when you listen carefully the loudest words that come through are the strength and the courage.

There is nothing braver and perhaps more empowering than sharing your story.
Have a listen, like this post, repost this and be inspired to tell the story of who you are with your full heart.

The fear of the cringe...

I hate thinking about likes and engagement on posts. It is definitely wasted energy worrying about what people think and whether someone ‘likes’ what you post, is totally agnostic and scrolls by or even unfollows (awkward). It's easy to do though because we are all human and we constantly worry what other people think about us. If you have mastered complete confidence and zero hang ups I would appreciate a message with your top tips.

This week I was waiting for a train and a message dropped into my inbox. The person told me that they loved seeing my journey and my posts brightened their day. It was more meaningful to me than any 'like' or 'comment' and it definitely made me smile.

If you are putting yourself out there - people are seeing it, they might not always actively 'like' every post but just keep going as you never know where you might be making an impact. Have the fear of the cringe, but do it anyway.

More of this tomorrow on the next episode of the podcast...

Pic of me smiling for likes only (and to fuel the fear of the cringe!)

Six months into podcasting my advice is this: 1.

Six months into podcasting my advice is this:

1. When it comes to confidence we are generally our own biggest critic.
2. The spotlight we create for ourselves is something that only we see.
3. Not everyone will like everything we do (or every episode) and that's ok. Far better to be creating discussion and opinion than being too vanilla to generate a comment.
4. After the first episode, or the first post, or the first blog or the first video the second is far less scary and actually starts to feel exciting.
5. Creating something from scratch and bringing it to life and having other people use it, enjoy it and value it is an unbeatable feeling!

If you are thinking about doing something new but holding yourself back, just go for it.
Glass half full - always!

Stressed or Well Dressed of the week. Nike launch

Stressed or Well Dressed of the week.

Nike launched their male and female outfits which are proposed to be used to clothe the US athletes in track and field events at this summer's Olympics in Paris.

The female outfit has come under a lot of criticism for being skimpy, impractical and not necessarily fit for purpose for athletes to be at their best when competing.
Nike have since said there are other options available for athletes and therefore more choices than the ones in the image - but this was the lead image.

As a runner (but not perhaps Olympic level!) I love the functionality of the right running kit. Slimline pocket is my absolute essential.

So what's the verdict on this one? Practical or performative?

Stressed or Well Dressed?!
Comment with your view and it might become a more regular post!

Episode 4 of Season 3 'Dare to Dream' out now with
@aliciakiteshapewear

'If you have a dream and you have a passion and you believe - it happens.'

If you are thinking
'Dare I put myself out there!?'

Alicia Kite's advice in our new podcast goes like this:

'If anybody out there is questioning themselves but they really are passionate about what they are doing - try and store that passion. Keep dreaming, keep believing.'
Have the dream and then dare to do it!'

It's so easy to be your own biggest critic but actually it feels a lot better to be your own biggest cheerleader. Alicia's resilience, confidence and passion for what she does is so inspiring and her energy is contagious.

I challenge you to listen and think about how you can be inspired to follow your dreams even just one percent more.

(Listen on Apple or Spotify or through the Stressed But Well Dressed website in my bio)

Alicia brought luxury fashion north, launching five boutiques across the Midlands and South Yorkshire 40 years ago. She now works in personal branding and has created her own shapewear range 'Alicia Kite Shapewear'. Alicia's experience has enabled her to understand how clothes impact how we feel and how to use your wardrobe to feel unstoppable.

Who are you and who do you want to be? If those

Who are you and who do you want to be?

If those questions make you feel slightly uncomfortable you are not alone!

I have spent the last 6 months interviewing people and hearing their stories.

On Friday the tables were turned and Alicia Kite asked me exactly those questions. It's rare we allow the mirror to be turned on ourself and face the big questions. It isn't always comfortable but it's how we get really honest and how we grow.

She asked me the questions that people are too scared to ask about how you see yourself and gave me some very perceptive feedback!

Alicia is a Personal Stylist and Coach and works with people to help them to understand and elevate their wardrobes.
It is total retail therapy - in your own wardrobe!

It was a total transition from Stressed to Well Dressed and a great opportunity to reflect on personal branding

Look out for TWO podcasts with her in the next few months, one sharing her fantastic story of retailing and one where the tables will turn...stay tuned.

'I am so stressed!!!'

Sound familiar?

7% of adults in the UK feel stressed EVERY SINGLE DAY (CIPHR)

But what is stress?

In January I spent some time with Rhona Berengut, MBA exploring why we think we feel stressed, the four factors that contribute to 'stress' and how we can identity and manage them in our everyday.

The link to our podcast 'What is stress' can be found here in the bio. Episode 2 Season 2.

April is Stress Awareness Month - take some time to breath.

Part of podcasting is getting to meet amazing people and sharing their stories.
@firegirl1982 Lynsey Donoghue is so inspiring. As a mum, a firefighter and a finalist on BBC SAS Ultimate Hell she shows her strength, her resilience and her courage. I loved her positivity when we sat down to record our conversation.

Season 3 live! Do you know how it feels to be made

Season 3 live!
Do you know how it feels to be made redundant?
I can only describe it as being 'All dressed up and nowhere to go.'

Launching SEASON 3 with an episode that is one of the bravest and toughest to share on the podcast - but perhaps also the most positive.

Amy Rollings and I get really honest about redundancy, discussing how it feels, what to do next and how to get in control.

Amy runs 'Let's Connect' and has helped SO many people make connections and build their network at the time they have needed it most in their careers.
This is about personal branding, building your network and taking your next step forward.

Key messages:
1. Everyone's career journey is unique, you have the opportunity to shape yours.
2. Your network is your net worth - invest in relationships
3. If at first you don't succeed, try, try and try again!

If you are going through redundancy at the moment or even just thinking about what is next in your career - this is the conversation you need to hear.

If you are tagged in the comments, you played a part in the last year for which I will always be grateful.

This one is for the #jobseekers - a title or a status does not define you.
You are so much more than that.
