Having the Courage and Confidence to change direction. Today, our guest, Gill Smith, was working in a senior teaching role when an unexpected life event caused her to stop, reflect, change direction, and work as a coach. A few years later, she changed direction again and is now a full-time reseller of gorgeous vintage décor and antique homewares, both online and in person at Harrison’s Antiques in Yorkshire. Join us to hear how Gill’s story unfolds.

Let's talk about overthinking (or is it overwhelm?'

We can all be prone to a little overthinking from time to time, but sometimes it can become a little too intrusive. In today's episode, Lee and Michelle debate what we mean by overthinking (and even that probably provides a good example of overthinking in action) and how we can tackle it.

We're almost halfway through 2025, and in this episode, Michelle takes Lee through a six-month review, looking back at where she started the year and looking forward to where she'd like to be at the end of the year. If you'd like to do your review, here are the questions Michelle uses:

1. Have my priorities changed since the beginning of the year?
2. When I look back on the last six months, what am I grateful for?
3. What am I tolerating?
4. What am I doing when I feel like I'm adding the most value?
5. Are there any activities where my investment (of any resource - time/money/energy/emotions) outweighs the return on that investment?
6. Am I aligning with my personal values?
7. Whose support do I need and who can I support?
8. What else would I like to learn this year?
9. Where can I make a difference in the next six months?
10. What will I stop doing? What will I start doing? What will I continue doing?
