The Mission Imperfect podcast
Along with the fabulous Kathryn Ball, I host the Mission Imperfect podcast about finding your own path, your own way, and embracing the imperfections of the journey.
Kathryn and I are both former HR professionals turned life coaches, with a spooky amount in common beyond initials and career choices…not least, a love of tea and biscuits, and a fascination with mindset and navigating the messiness of life.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to grab a cuppa and a biscuit and join us in getting lost in finding ourselves.
Mission Imperfect originates on Spotify, was (mostly) deliberately added to Apple, Amazon, and Youtube, and has apparently magically found its way to various other platforms!
Stop being such a twat to yourself!
The Kinder Self-Talk exercise helps you reduce the self-criticism and all that abusive language you'd never use to anyone else and which makes the inside of your head a shitty place to hang out.
You can download an audio file here for free (select the one with the right pronouns for you) - all you need to do the exercise is a picture of yourself as a child; a means of listening to the audio; a few minutes of privacy, and, of course, a long-standing tendency to be a twat to yourself.
If you'd like to work through it in a more personal and supported way, please book a Kinder Self-Talk session with me.
I first encountered a version of this exercise in Shirzad Chamine's online Positive Intelligence programme, and I understand that it's also used in trauma and confidence-building therapies. I hope you find the exercise as powerful as I have.
