Well, there's a few admissions in this podcast... Bad habits, old habits and habits I'm working on, all to do with sleep.  Hopefully amongst it all you find something that helps you to sleep well.   For resources head to the show notes page HERE. Or visit www.transformationalpersonalgrowth.com

I think at some point we all think our dreams are a bit out of reach. We all have things that we would like to do that we kind of put on the back burner.  Sometimes the fear of judgement, what other people will think if 'someone like me' does something like that, holds us back. Feeling like we aren't good enough for what we want to do. Listen to this episode and kick the imposter syndrome in the face.  For the special offer click HERE       Self-help, transformational personal growth, goal setting, motivation, inspiration, anxiety, depression, dreams, all part of the podcast series...

Sometimes things suck. Sometimes life just comes along and gives you a flying kick to the face and it sucks. The only human response is to hurt. But what do you do with that hurt? How do you navigate pain in a way that doesn't repress it, shove it down and let it build with the rest of your past hurts until they all come up together, keeping you awake at 2pm, or flying out of you in a rage at your boss (a most inopportune moment)? How do you let it out, let it breathe, get it out of you and heal your hurt in a way that leaves you feeling like there's some hope for tomorrow.  Hopefully this week podcast answers those questions for you and me both.  Check out the show notes page HERE. Until next time...   

We all want to be liked, we all want to fit somewhere, but a big secret is that even if you stand out, even if you show all your true colours, not only are you going to be ok, you are going to light the world.  Check out HERE for show notes and downloadables.    

We all strive for something. We are all trying our darnedest. But under almost every struggle, every desire, every goal and every addiction is our deepest desire: to be ok! We want to be ok.  We want some peace and quiet in our heads and to know that it's going to work out and it's going to be ok.  It is.  This week's podcast is all about that.  Our special offer this week: Head to www.michellecashman.com/offer for full instructiosn but basically all you need to do is review and rate this podcast and join the mailing list and you'll get a free copy of Michelle's brand new album 'Seasons' completely free*. *Offer expires October 18, 2015      

One of the biggest questions I get asked is 'What is my purpose?', and 'How do I figure out what my purpose is?'... In fact, it was one of my own biggest questions and I don't have the exact answer for you.  But I do have a few important things to consider when you're working it out for yourself. Four 'mini purposes', that when they add up together will help you figure out where you're headed and why. This week's podcast covers four of them.  Head to www.transformationalpersonalgrowth.com for more information and resources. 

Consistency is a reoccurring theme in almost every entrepreneurial education format I've been tapped into of late.  Personal growth, business growth, everything ties into this consistency thing.  It seems the more consistent you are, the easier life is.  The easier it is to achieve your goals and get somewhere in life. But what does this mean for you? How does consistency happen in your life? Or does it NOT happen?  In this episode we explore the theme of consistency in a couple of areas, and hopefully leave you with enough inspiration to move forward into your own exploration of how consistency can benefit you.  Keep in contact.

We forget that we play a part in our relationships.  Habits form and we get in ruts.  Sometimes it's important to remember the old saying 'We teach people how to treat us'. You can use boundaries, consequences and expectations to turn relationships around because while some people need to be avoided, others just need to be taught.  We are all teachable. Even us 'grown ups'.  This episode is about how to teach people to treat you well, how to change your own expectations around that, and what to do when someone is pushing all the boundaries.   For the links and resources head to www.transformationalpersonalgrowth.com or for the link to the book I spoke about in the podcast head to www.michellecashman.com/book Self help and personal growth is important and is always the first step in great relationships.  It always starts with YOU. 

I've had anxiety for more than 20 years. Nowadays, rather than being an internal hurricane it's more like a dormant volcano.  If I do the right things, it stays that way. If I don't; I'm in for a world of hurt. Here's my top 10 tips. Besides medication because that one is up to you and your doctor alone. Remember as always, if you need some help - find a professional mental health practitioner or if you are in australia, call Lifeline on 13 11 14  Resources can be found at www.transformationalpersonalgrowth.com   

This weeks' episode is about self talk.  I used to talk myself down so much it almost made it impossible for me to succeed.  When someone is always telling you how pathetic you are success is harder to believe in. Learning to undo some of that negative thinking has been pivotal in creating the life I want. I'm still learning. I'm still UN-learning, but over time, I have gotten a lot better and the difference is clear to see.  I would sabotage anything good because I didn't believe I deserved it. Now I believe that I am worth looking after and I deserve good things, it makes it a lot easier to accept them into my life and appreciate them.     RESOURCES:  It's Never Crowded Along The Extra Mile - Dr Wayne Dyer (I originally had this on 10 Cds, but now have the audio from iTunes. Can't tell you how much I rate this!)    A special mention this week.  These podcasts are pre-recorded a few weeks in advance, and this week I mention Dr. Wayne Dyers work. I had no idea

This week's blog is about anger, resentment, forgiving, letting people make their own choices, learning to breathe and working out what you are really angry at. Oh, and you also get a little glimpse inside my head at my own inner arguments with myself.  Please feel free to email info@transformationalpersonalgrowth.com with any questions or future topic requests!  Resources: Buteyko Breathing

This week Michelle talks about owning your life, an essential ingredient for transformational personal growth because if you don't own it - you can't change it.  Taking responsibility for your life also means you get your power back.    Visit the show notes page HERE
