How are you feeling today? About yourself, your life, your goals? Whatever you feel, however you view yourself and your accomplishments, it's largely defined by - guess what - your inner voice. By what you deem “good” or “bad”. By what you WANTED to achieve/ be/ look like/ feel like, compared to where you ACTUALLY are right now. In this episode we discuss WHY our inner voice is so powerful and HOW to shift from negative to positive - to become empowered and happy again.

Whilst striving for excellence can be beneficial in some cases, falling into the perfectionism trap is a whole other ball game.

And it's a trap we CAN get out of. In this episode we talk through 5 mindset shifts that will bring back the joy and let you embrace imperfections - and your self - again.

Did you ever try to pick up a new instrument, language or learn a new sport as an adult? It can be quite daunting right? As kids we learned and failed and learned and finally - hopefully - succeeded. But as adults it’s harder to start small, to feel insecure or simply to find the time (and discipline). Am I right? Today I share 3 hacks to apply whenever you try out something new.

Things we didn’t see coming can really derail us. Especially if you are an overachieving, overly perfect planner who packs and plans and anticipates all kinds of things...One thing you didn’t account for in your careful planning though, are your emotions. Or hormones rather. Stress hormones, to be specific. Going on holidays is a massive step change, a pace change, a routine switch and a complete mindset switch, that only lasts for that holiday time, and therefore it can completely throw you.That’s what we will be focussing on on today’s episode of the FEED SLAY LOVE Podcast. That unexpected anxiety that arises when we leave our known tracks, our familiar routines and our daily habits.Check out more on this topic on my blog https://catherinenuss.com/blog/ and follow me for daily inspiration on Instagram @feed_slay_love

Did you know that humans are energy generators? Even if we feel low or are in a funk, we are actually able to get ourselves into a better state. A positive, mentally aware state. A less frazzled and more conscious state. Without negative side effects or meds needed ;)Provided you get enough sleep, exercise regularly and have a relatively healthy nutrition this might actually help you to have less coffee during the day and more quality time in the evenings - instead of passing out with your kids.

Between wanting something and actually getting there, the road might get rocky. And that might hit us hard in the face when we didn’t expect it, when we didn’t think it through or speak to people or seek advice from those who’ve been there and done that. That’s the topic of this week’s episode of the FEED SLAY LOVE podcast. The struggle is real - and how to reach your goals and build your dream life DESPITE the struggle with my 4 step plan.

The last few years have been really challenging for pretty much all of us. We have gone through the motions of fear, uncertainty, worry, anxiety, and even loss. We had to completely rethink life - and we didn't know for how long the pandemic would last or how much worse it could get. But it’s over now.This is the time to move out of our fight-flight-freeze state of the pandemic. This is the time to rediscover ourselves. This is the time to get our spark back!

Imagine having guilt free, stress free me-time. What would you do? I had that last weekend - and I realise I don't take that time for myself often enough. Are you with me on this? Us mums do everything for everyone and then end up depleted and frustrated?What would life be like, if mums were regular taking breaks, putting their feet up, drinking their coffee HOT. Let's be the change, let's drive the change, let's not allow for burnout and stress to affect future generations. Tune in and let's make a pact!

Do you think there could be a way that we can teach ourselves and influence our happiness levels? And if so, what would be the teaching steps to take, to be more happy in our lives? In this episode I'm diving into the theory, the philosophy, of happiness - and how we can take charge of our own happiness. I'll introduce a tool that helps me find more contentment, courage, confidence and - happiness. Becoming our own cheerleaders, our own support system, picking ourselves up when we feel low. I hope that's what you'll get out of this episode. Some simple steps towards a more, well, happy life!Feel free to check out my IG posts on happiness @feed_slay_love or my blog posts on catherinenuss.com. I'm looking forward to your comments, thoughts and DMs!

Pushing through the day only to collapse on the sofa in the evening? Passing out with your kids and missing out on quality (me-)time in the evenings?When ticking off to-do lists and chasing rewards don't bring happiness to your life it's time to re-think. In this episode we talk about setting a healthy foundation to make your success and happiness more sustainable. It's not about a 180-degree turn, but it's about making some simple tweaks to suit your life and your goals. Starting today!

In this episode I give you 3 great reasons to take charge and become happier. Why is it important to take charge of your own life? I'm sure you agree that we moms are the most important people. We hold it all together. We live for others most of our days. We care and worry and help and do... often to our own detriment. If we don't look after ourselves we can end up feeling empty, numb, resentful and unhappy. Like you burnt the candle at both ends and don't even know how to recharge and feel in charge of you own life again. To all the brave mom warriors - let's get back on track. Together.

Hey, I'd like for us to get to know each other a bit better. Shall we? I'll start by sharing a slice of my life - the part when everything went upside down and I had to learn to swim so I wouldn't sink. Nothing turned out the way I anticipated, and believe me, it's been intense, disruptive and ultimately also the best life change that could have happened. Someone smart once said, Let go of how you thought life and love would be. Then you'll find room in your heart for what's really meant to be there.I actually framed this and put it on my desk as a daily reminder to not just embrace change, but to also embrace letting go. Because we always seem to grip the hardest in the moments before letting go. And that hard grip might seem like we hold on to dear life, but really, there are endless possibilities on that other side of fear. Here's my example, my story. I hope to hear yours too. Please DM me on IG @fee_slay_love or contact me via my website www.catherinenuss.com to share your story, ask questions or apply to be a guest on my show. I can't wait to hear from you.
