The truth is, this week, I am struggling.  It's not a morbid, depressed and anxious type of struggle it's more of a seeking, a searching for something I can't seem to put my finger on.  I don't know exactly how to put that into words, and it's possible that this is something that happens almost every time I have some time off.  Luckily I know what to do with this...  www.michellecashman.com 

One of the biggest challenges in creating a great life, especially if you come from a traumatic background, is learning how to create a safe space for yourself. When you grow up surrounded by drama and people with drama fuelled lives it's easy to believe that that is normal. Violence, rage, manipulation and edginess can easily become what you are used to and especially when you yourself are part of that cycle it is super hard to get out of.  Sometimes it's people who you have grown up with, people you are related to or people you love and care about who consistently throw their drama around, entwining you in one messy circumstance after the other.  Sometimes it's you yourself unwittingly creating more drama than is necessary.  Learning how to settle down and create peace in your life is super important and having the space to do that is equally important. www.michellecashman.com  This episode we talk boundaries, addiction, drama, self-help, personal space, health and wellness.&nb

This week on the Transformational Personal Growth Podcast I chat with Delia McCabe... Delia turned her back on conventional talking therapy, after completing her Masters in Psychology. Since then she's immersed herself in the fascinating world of nutrition and the brain and offers a focused and insightful approach - based on solid science - into how specific foods can improve your mood, concentration, memory and learning ability as well as help you stay calm and happy in our busy, stressful world, regardless of your age! Delia is presently completing her PhD, specifically focused on the effect that nutrients have on the stress levels of women, and her book 'Feed Your Brain - 7 Steps to a Lighter, Brighter You!' as just been released in Australia and New Zealand. There are so many things to consider during this interview so get out a pen and a notebook! www.michellecashman.com  We talk psychology, brain health, nutrition, diet, good fats, bad fats, positive wellbeing self help... the lot... it's all under

I know sometimes it's hard. Sh*t happens. When it rains it pours, when one thing goes wrong it can very easily snowball into everything turning to crap.  You can lose your mojo.  You can feel stuck, powerless and miserable.  You can literally hate your life.  I'm not here to judge you for that. I know what it's like. I'm here to tell you how you can turn it around, and how by doing so you can actually begin to create one that makes you feel inspired, empowered and that not only lights you up, but lights up those around you.   www.michellecashman.com    #loveyourlife #inspiration

Yep. We are busy.  We are probably trying to do a little too much.  But before balance can come back, during the rush of 'too much on right now', we can do a few things to make sure we don't lose our shit. Here they are.    Show notes at www.transformationalpersonalgrowth.com/046

This episode we talk about how to comfort someone when it really counts.  Sometimes that overwhelming feeling like we need to do something gets in the way of what will help the most: holding space.  But what the hell is that anyway???   www.transformationalpersonalgrowth.com 

Yes I'm back from my little (well needed break). Am I all better and 100% positive that everything is sorted? Hell no.  In fact, I'm almost just as confused and lost as I was before I had my break.  What does this mean for this episode?  Well I guess it means you're getting a little more 'raw Michelle', not just what I've learnt, but what I'm going through at the moment.

Dr Suess says 'Unslumping Yourself isn't easily done'... but it's much easier if you have the right tools.  This week's episode is quite short as I've got some things going on but will be back with a vengeance soon.    To be a guinea pig head to www.transformationalpersonalgrowth.com :) 

Depression is an awful thing.  It eats at your will to live. It eats at your ability to enjoy anything. It leaves you hollow and empty and feeling like you're worthless.  The trouble is, some of the most effective ways to treat depression require you to really look after yourself.  Which, is quite an effort when you don't feel worthy of looking after.  It's really a catch 22.  If you don't look after yourself, you won't get better.  But finding the will to look after something you feel like is a waste of space and time and energy is almost impossible. So this week, we are going to talk about my number one way to kick depression in the teeth: treat yourself as if...    www.transformationalpersonalgrowth.com   

It's so important to have people who inspire you and today I get to share with you someone who has inspired ME.  So cool. The EOFire podcast is a massive deal - one of the most popular podcasts of all time - winning the Best of iTunes award with over 1 million monthly downloads.  Incredible stuff and without John and his podcast, this podcast wouldn't have come into being... So thank you John, and to everyone who listens to this podcast - thank you as well, for you encouragement and support.      

Anyone who has experienced the cycle of depression or anxiety or even chronic illness would have some experience of the highs and lows. Even without depression and anxiety or chronic illness, life can go through these cycles. Here's how habits can help the lows not be so low...      For more information & resources head to transformationalpersonalgrowth.com 

We need goals. Something to aspire to and road maps to get there. But what happens if we set our hopes too high? Forcing ourselves into burnout is only one of the consequences of setting our expectations too high… So how do we balance that?     For more information and resources head to  www.transformationalpersonalgrowth.com      TAGS: Confidence, balance, self-help, goal setting... 

Confidence is a slippery little sucker.  It's one of those things that has a chicken and egg type phenomena to it.  People with confidence DO things.  Then, because they have experience, this experience gives them confidence… BUT how do you find confidence, or develop confidence when you don't have it naturally, and how can you have it in an area that you have no experience in?  That's what this week's episode is all about...  More info and resources can be found at www.transformationalpersonalgrowth.com   Tags: Confidence, self improvement, self help, personal growth

Well, are you? How do you know if you're a good friend, or if you're a strain on the relationship economy? We have covered in other episodes, what to look for in a friendship but in the last week I have really been thinking; we don't focus enough on what WE bring to it. If you want good friends, you really need to learn to BE a good friend.     This week's episode I share my top tips for recognising if the problem is YOU, and if you really are a good friend...    www.transformationalpersonalgrowth.com 

I think sometimes life can really wear you down. By life, I mean people. People can be right shits and have no idea the impact that they're having on you.  Sometimes they know and even hope that their actions are tearing you apart. They deliberately try to create a shitstorm in your life and it can suck. The time we spend thinking about that, dwelling on it and letting it get to us can allow their actions and hurtful words drag us down, rendering us unable to move forward, stealing our joy. This episode I talk about how to survive it... not just survive it, but surpass it... get rid of the crap and move forward with your life.    www.transformationalpersonalgrowth.com
