Ep 24 - Taking Responsibility
Karen Davies Coaching Podcast
Choosing to blame others as the response to a situation, means that you are degrading yourself. You see, when we continuously blame others it can reinforce a negative self-image. It suggests that we view ourselves as a victim rather than someone who is in control of their life and who has the ability and power to make choices. Blaming others can serve as a way to avoid facing uncomfortable truths about ourselves and our actions. It can be a form of escapism that hinders personal development. So if you constantly hear yourself saying things like, "it's not my...

Ep 23 - Managing Your Mind
Karen Davies Coaching Podcast
If there's one thing I've learned in my life, it's that managing your thoughts is the ultimate game-changer for life, for business, for relationships… Seriously, it's like having the control panel of your mind right there in your hands. Because here's the truth: if you're not actively taking charge of your thoughts, then they are taking charge of you. And let me tell you, that's a slippery slope to feeling fed up, out of control and disconnected from the life that you truly desire. Picture this: every thought you entertain is like a seed you plant in the garden...

Ep 22 - The Discipline Identity
Karen Davies Coaching Podcast
Woody Allen said, "The only thing standing between greatness and me, is me." We all have excuses - in fact I am the queen of excuses. Didn’t go to the gym? I needed the lie in. Didn't do that networking event? I had to stay in and catch up on some programs. Ate too much? I was 'treating myself' (for the 6th day this week) Forget about motivation- there is only one thing that is going to get you to your goals and that’s discipline. Contrary to popular opinion: Discipline is in fact freedom. In...

Ep 21 - The Comfort Zone Fallacy
Karen Davies Coaching Podcast
It's funny how we often wrap ourselves in the warm, cozy blanket of our comfort zones, believing that it's our safe haven. But what if I told you that what you perceive as a comfort zone is actually just a cunning mirage and doesn't really exist? What am I talking about? Well, I've been banging on about how we must get out of our 'comfort zones' for years. Yes, my friends, the so-called "comfort zone" is nothing more than an attachment to familiarity that's keeping us stuck. When I was 14 I went into the first year of my GCSEs -...

Ep 20 - 2 Years Alcohol Free
Karen Davies Coaching Podcast
On August 21 2021 - 2 years ago at the age of 40 - I stopped drinking. I didn't put a time limit on it like I had done in the past, I literally just said to myself, "let's see what's possible". In today's episode I talk about my journey to giving up alcohol and how it took my a few years of the odd week and the odd month off the booze here and there and I also talk about how you don't have to hit rock bottom before you decide to stop. I discuss how perimenopause and HRT affected my efforts and I also tell you how two outstanding questions can change your...

Ep 19 - Failing to Win
Karen Davies Coaching Podcast
It's great to get out of your comfort zone, but there are occasions when we get this feeling and this experience of discomfort, and we have no idea of the impact that it will have later in our lives. The first time I ever went abroad, was when I was 18 and it was just 4 hours from the UK and I was with 21 friends, but I felt hugely homesick. At that moment, I was adamant that I did not like going abroad. It turns out that I was wrong - I was so wrong in fact that I now live on the other side of the world. Feelings of discomfort can lead us to mistakenly...

Ep 18 - Growth Mindset & Education
Karen Davies Coaching Podcast
Today we are going to talk about learning, formal education, mindset and about how war shaped the world wide school system! When we are young we naturally do hard things: learning to walk, speaking in your mother tongue, and if you're in a developed country then almost 100% of us will be lucky enough to get a formal education by attending primary and secondary school to learn reading, writing, maths and science, etc, but as we get older we start to do less and less learning in a formal environment. After you learn to drive and you pass your test, or after you finish...

Ep 17 - Age Does Not Matter

Ep 16 - Creating Change - Transformation 28
Karen Davies Coaching Podcast
I didn't consciously create change in my life until I was in my 30s. Don't get me wrong, I'd move jobs and cities, leave relationships, but all of this was done in silos, without any real strategy or game plan. So what changed? I did! I started reading books on personal development, listening to podcasts, attending seminars and hiring coaches of my own. I literally spent thousands of dollars on upskilling myself. In this episode we talk about change - I also talk you through the new course - . If you're ready to change your life, then check out my new course...
