Sassy Smith is a revolution in the world of personal coaching and, in this episode, we discuss the growing awareness of Aphantasia; the inability to form mental images of objects that are not present.   As the founder of The Aphantasia Coaching Academy and a pioneering force in neurodiversity, she is transforming the way coaches approach their neurodivergent clients. Her unique journey began in 2015 when she discovered that she has aphantasia, a neurological condition that prevents her from visualising images in her mind. This led her to unravel why she had always struggled with coaching practices centred around visualisation, and, more importantly, it sparked the mission to ensure that others like her could reap the transformational benefits of coaching.  With an extensive background in leadership, coaching, women's health and  specialising in aphantasia, SDAM, anauralia and alexithymia, she offers a unique perspective on neurodiversity that is backed by personal experience and research.

This fly-on-the-wall podcast is all about self-reflection, looking behind the scenes and working with boundaries in our coaching businesses. An intimate conversation around the ‘duty’ of being a coach and why it’s important to share our learnings with our audiences. How do we decide what to share exactly? What if we are embarrassed or feel we aren’t perfect? Do we need to show up in a certain way all the time? Coaches can often feel a lot of pressure around this, and so we delve into the realities and Jaimie shares how she addresses that within herself for the benefit of her audience.   The exploration continues around how to manage our own triggers in a healthy way, how implementing boundaries protects both you and your clients and how running an online business can ignite perfectionism and why this can damage our brand.

In conversation with Teresa, Melissa unpacks everything from women and the great resignation to divine femininity, powerful sex and how to transition from your old behaviours of masculine ‘investments’ and how these behaviours affect your ability to scale your business and life to infinite levels. How can you create the deepest shift that will take you to your true power? How can you allow this for yourself as woman and enjoy the ease and flow so often alluded to?

Welcome to the latest COACH podcast with Trauma  Specialist, Hypnotherapist and Coach, Ali Smith.  She joined me to debunk some of the myths surrounding the topic of trauma and why it's so important to be aware around trauma when working with clients and to understand and process your own trauma.  Ali has spent many years on a mission to change her client's definition and perception of trauma. Her own story of surviving a terrorist attack has enabled her to really hold space and compassion for others.  Ali uses a trauma informed approach and a polyvagal theory approach to help entrepreneurs create healthy relationships and massive success in their businesses by understanding reframing the dysfunctional patterns created by stress and trauma.  In this episode we talk about how trauma can show up and where and what PTSD is and what certain stigmas still remain. We also ask the question around trauma and what it means and why people may think they have never 'had' any trauma.  But trauma is about the internal process that occurs which affects and triggers how your nervous system responds. Being able to emotionally regulate is a powerful way to overcome and manage trauma.  As a trauma specialist, trainer and inspirational speaker, Ali provides education to coaches, business leaders and organisations on this hugely misunderstood subject.
