Coaching Connect Inside Out

It's such a relief to realise that no one else has the power to make you feel a certain way. In today's 5 Minutes In Nature, Liz shares a couple of stories that show how, even when it seems like someone can upset or insult you, that's never truly the case. Once you understand the power of your own thoughts, you see that words and beliefs have no built-in power of their own. ******** If you've enjoyed this taster then join me, Liz Scott, on Insight Timer.

What does forgiveness mean to you? Is it excusing bad behaviour or allowing someone to get away with something inappropriate? In today's 5 Minutes In Nature, Liz explores forgiveness as looking beyond someone's behaviour and reconnecting with the deeper energy of love. It's about releasing the feeling of being hard done by and finding your own solid ground.

In a culture that prizes quick decisions, 'not knowing' can feel like a flaw—but it's actually a deeply human place to be. In this episode, Liz explores the art of sitting with uncertainty, discovering that it's okay to pause, reflect, and embrace the unknown rather than rush or feel anxious.

As Liz heads out for a walk with a neighbour's dog, she reflects on how her old definition of success was shaped by other people's expectations—job titles, income, external approval. But on a sunlit autumn day, sitting on a rock on Dartmoor, she realises that her life in this very moment feels like the truest expression of success. There's nowhere else she'd rather be, and nothing more she'd rather be doing. Join Liz as she explores how our understanding of success can shift, soften, and ultimately come home to what feels genuinely meaningful. ******** If you've enjoyed this taster then join me, Liz Scott, on Insight Timer.

Did you know that thoughts are naturally neutral until we give them energy? In today's 5 Minutes in Nature, Liz compares thoughts to leaves drifting down a river. If we simply watch them float by, they pass without impact. But the moment we pick a leaf—the thought—out of the river, we start to believe it's true. It's liberating to realise: you don't have to believe every thought that pops up during your day. Let them drift, and they will naturally move on. ******** If you've enjoyed this taster then join me, Liz Scott, on Insight Timer.

Are you someone who clings tightly to your goals? Or perhaps you lean the other way, moving through life guided by spontaneity. In today's 5 Minutes in Nature, Liz reflects on her own tendency to hold fast to plans — and how that rigidity can sometimes keep her from flowing with life. Lately, the universe has been inviting her to practice flexibility. Ultimately, she's discovering that the real compass lies within.

What happens when masculine and feminine energies fall out of balance in our world? As Liz reflects on the strength and wisdom of older women, she notices how often they retreat instead of stepping forward into their power. Earlier this year, during a pilgrimage along the Michael and Mary energy lines in the UK, she witnessed firsthand how these two currents symbolize the harmony that comes from balance. It's a lesson that has stayed with her — and one she's inspired to explore more deeply. ******** If you've enjoyed this taster then join me, Liz Scott, on Insight Timer.

If you find yourself caught up in restless or anxious thoughts, imagine them as an over-excited puppy. In today's 5 Minutes In Nature, Liz shares a story about visiting a lively puppy that became even more jumpy and nippy the more attention it received. The calmer the visitor became, the more the puppy settled. Our unsettled thoughts work much the same way—when we stop feeding them with attention, they naturally quiet down on their own. ******** If you've enjoyed this taster then join me, Liz Scott, on Insight Timer.

What does it feel like to move from a place of invisibility into one of visibility? So often, women in their fifties and sixties are expected to retreat quietly into the background, fading into the shadows rather than stepping forward with the wisdom and strength they carry.  But what if the opposite were true? Today, Liz reflects on the immense value that is lost when older women are overlooked, their voices unheard and their contributions unrecognised. She invites us to consider how much richer the world could be if we truly honoured and embraced the experience, perspective, and power that women in this stage of life have to offer. ******** If you've enjoyed this taster then join me, Liz Scott, for this short reflection.

Are you scared that your youngster may be taking drugs? What can you do about it? How do you talk to them about it? In this podcast Liz Scott speaks to someone who regularly engages with young people and parents. Marie Arymar gives an overview of how to assess the situation with a young person. During this conversation Liz and Marie discuss: The importance of taking stock - ask yourself 'What is going on with my child?' Consider why the youngster is taking drugs? Is it masking something, is he/she keeping in with the crowd? What boundaries do you have with your child around drugs? Is your child getting mixed messages about what is or isn't acceptable? Is your fear getting in the way of connecting with them? Do you ask questions which causes them to shut down? Be present and aware that your young person, the one you deeply love and care for, is still there. They are not their behaviour. Give yourself time to connect with them in ordinary ways.

If you're waking up to the climate crisis, the disintegration of the natural world and the fragility of our planet... then you probably feel a sense of urgency, insecurity and helplessness. At least that's what I felt when 2 years ago the climate crisis hit me between the eyes. For years it had been a periphery thing - it was something that other people were getting worked up about. Then suddenly the enormity and reality of it landed. In this interview with Kimberley Hare we head towards a heart-based exploration and explore 'What is mine to do?' rather than 'what is going wrong?' During this interview Kimberley refers to 7 questions to ask yourself when you are reflecting on what you're being asked to do. We don't go into detail with these questions in the conversation - but she sent them on following the interview. The questions are as follows. Here are SEVEN POWERFUL QUESTIONS:   RESILIENCE – What is it that we most value and how can we keep that? How can we build and sustain our resilience – both inner an
