When The Unexpected Shit Hits The Fan
What do you do when something unexpected happens in your business or life? Perhaps you go into fight mode, throw everything at it and don't come up for air until it's fixed?

Well since the unexpected shit usually does hit the fan multiple times a day in business, we thought this was a subject we definitely needed to unpack for y'all. Spoiler alert!

How Do You Role?
How many roles do you play in your life? Business person, partner, parent, sibling, child, friend, teacher, mentor…all round legend (or is that just us?!) The real question however, is do you maintain your authenticity throughout all these roles…or do you show up “in character” and change yourself according to who you think you “should” be in order to please the crowd? That gets bloody exhausting, doesn’t it? Well we’re calling BS on operating that way! Join us in this episode to find out why, and how you can too! Spoiler alert! Here’s what you can expect: We unpack how to bring truth and authenticity to the roles we have to play in life, so we can be more congruent and get on with the shit that really matters Lindsay channels an old grumpy man to reveal how playing a role in life is like playing a role in improv Laura likens our many roles in life to Dr Who So if you’re keen to “drop the act” and embrace the ultimate role - you - come join us on the Banterpreneurs stage, where you’re guaranteed a standing ovation every day 👏🏼 And when you realise this is the podcast you need in your life, show us some love by subscribing and sharing!

Are You Addicted To "Ta Da" Moments?
As business owners, coaches and indeed humans, we tend to want (and expect) “Ta Da” moments every day - usually in the form of impressive actions and quick results. Consequently we often have unrealistic expectations, we over promise and under deliver, and we put a lot of unnecessary pressure on ourselves. That doesn’t sound like much fun, does it? In fact, as Laura says in the episode, it’s a bit like a floppy cock - which we can all agree is never fun 🍆😬 Spoiler alert! Here’s what else you can expect: We discover how coaches and business owners are making their jobs harder than they need to be! We explore the cycle of change and transformation and how we’re addicted to “Ta Da” moments And we ask you not to be a shit human, and challenge you to find the magic in the mundane The ironic thing is, there are actually ta da moments happening around you all the time - and when you tune into them and appreciate their value, it’s like viagra for the soul!

Procrastination: Ain't Nobody Got Time For That!
Ahhh procrastination - it's kinda like a scab...you know you shouldn't pick it and you know that bad things will happen when you do, but somehow you just can't resist the urge, so you get stuck in and then spend the rest of the day full of regret and self-loathing. Ain't nobody got time for that! Now we're not denying that procrastination can be great for getting all those menial life admin tasks done - who doesn't love an organised stationary drawer and alphabetised tea cupboard?! But we're sure you'll agree that it's not always awesome for kicking the more important goals - you know, the ones that bring in the bacon and give you the freedom to live the life you want. So in this episode we're unpacking the giant scab that is procrastination, so you can break free from its magical spell and get some serious shit done - while having more fun...whooop! Spoiler alert! Here’s what you can expect: - Lindsay confesses to being a hopeless freedom fanatic and a procrastination princess! - Laura reveals how her procrastination ended with a visit to the doctor! - We find out that there are two major types of procrastination, and by asking the right questions we can put a stop to it. So if this episode sounds like it might be helpful for you, don't think about listening to it or put it on the list for later - JUST DO IT...AND DO IT NOW!!!!
