  Episode 161: Is This Conflict Worth Your Energy? How to Navigate Conflict

  Sep 27, 202634 minS10

  Episode 161: Is This Conflict Worth Your Energy? How to Protect Your Power, Set Boundaries and Navigate Conflict Have you found yourself feeling more irritated, reactive or ready to speak your mind lately? With the Aries Full Moon bringing themes of assertion, courage, anger and conflict to the surface, this episode explores what happens when our beliefs, values and perspectives begin to clash. Aries is the initiator. It is bold, direct and willing to take action. But it is also ruled by Mars, the God of War. So while this energy can give us the courage to stand up for ourselves, it can also pull us into conflict that ultimately costs us more than it gives us. And this is the question I want you to sit with: Is this conflict actually worth your energy if there is no possibility of resolution, understanding or harmony on the other side? In this episode, I explore how to navigate conflict without giving your power away , including examples from workplace environments, relationships and everyday situations where our anger can be telling us that something matters, without necessarily meaning we need to act on every feeling. Because anger is not something we need to suppress. Rage can carry information. Irritation can highlight a boundary that has been crossed. Conflict can show us where our values, needs or sense of self are being challenged. But not every disagreement requires our participation. Sometimes protecting your power means speaking up. Sometimes it means setting a boundary. Sometimes it means walking away. And sometimes it means recognising that trying to convince someone who is committed to misunderstanding you is simply another way of abandoning yourself. We also explore the wider astrological themes of this Aries Full Moon, including the tension between Aries energy and Pluto in Aquarius, and how this can bring questions around power, hierarchy, authority, beliefs and whose perspective gets to hold weight to the surface. The deeper work is not about avoiding conflict. It is about knowing yourself well enough to discern which battles are yours to fight and which ones are simply asking you to give your power away. Your values. Your boundaries. Your worth. Your self-trust. These are the foundations that allow you to navigate conflict from a place of power rather than reactivity. You do not need to win every argument to honour yourself. Sometimes reclaiming your power is knowing what is worth engaging with in the first place.

  Episode 160: How can women communicate with more confidence, authority and impact?

  Sep 20, 202643 minS10

  Episode 160: How can women communicate with more confidence, authority and impact? In this episode of Permission to Shine , I’m joined by communications and vocal coach Helen von Dadelson to explore women’s communication skills, vocal confidence, confident speaking, leadership communication and the power of your voice . Helen works with professionals, particularly multilingual professionals in international environments, helping them develop stronger communication skills and understand how their voice affects the way their message is received. We talk about why tone of voice, pitch, pace, vocal patterns and vocal power matter so much when communicating, and how small changes in the way you speak can influence whether you are perceived as confident, credible and authoritative. Helen shares a fascinating example of a female firefighter whose intonation patterns meant her message was being interpreted differently from how she intended, showing just how much our voice can communicate beyond the words we choose. We also explore why women can sometimes struggle to use their voices fully, particularly when they have learned to stay quiet, avoid taking up space, soften their opinions or make themselves more palatable to others. If you want to speak with more confidence, become more assertive, improve your public speaking, strengthen your executive presence or feel more powerful in your communication , Helen shares a practical exercise you can start using immediately. She recommends recording yourself speaking and listening back to four key areas: Message congruence: Does your voice match the message you are trying to communicate? Pitch variety: Are you using enough variation to keep your communication engaging? Pace: Is the speed of your speech supporting your message? Vocal power: Are you using your voice with enough strength and presence? We also go deeper into the relationship between voice, confidence, self-expression and personal power , and Helen shares the pivotal moment of running her first in-person coaching event and giving herself permission to fully shine. Because finding your voice isn't only about communication technique. It can also be about giving yourself permission to be heard. If you are a woman who wants to communicate with confidence, speak up in meetings, improve your public speaking, strengthen your leadership presence, stop shrinking yourself or feel more comfortable being visible , this conversation is for you. Your voice carries your message. But it also carries your presence. Are you allowing both to be heard?

  Episode 159: The Power of Your Self Talk: How Your Thoughts Shape Your Reality

  Sep 13, 202633 minS10

  Episode 159: The Power of Your Self Talk: How Your Thoughts Shape Your Reality Have you ever noticed how quickly an old belief can come back when you’re tired, overwhelmed or moving through something intense? That happened to me this week. The eclipse portal brought an old pattern to the surface that I thought I had already released. But because of the intensity of what was coming up, I found myself believing that old story again. And it reminded me of something so simple, yet so powerful: the way we speak to ourselves matters. Our words influence our beliefs. Our beliefs influence the way we see ourselves, the choices we make and the reality we create. So when I caught myself slipping back into an old way of thinking, I made a conscious decision to change the conversation I was having with myself. Instead of feeding the old story, I began speaking to myself with encouragement, motivation and positive intent. And almost immediately, something shifted. In this episode, I’m exploring the power of self talk, the beliefs we unconsciously reinforce through our thoughts and how we can begin to consciously reshape the way we see ourselves and our lives. I also share a reflective practice you can use to notice what you are currently feeding with your thoughts and words, and I reference my friend Nicola Noel’s TED Talk, where she asks are you nourishing your monster mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKamFupOEQ8 We have far more power than we often realise. You are not powerless over the thoughts that come up. You can choose what you give your attention to. You can question the story. You can speak differently to yourself. And with intention, you can begin to reshape your beliefs, your actions and ultimately your reality. Your thoughts become things. So what are you creating with the way you speak to yourself?

  Episode 158: The Energy We Inherit: How Birth Stories, Family and Intergenerational Trauma Shape Us

  Sep 6, 202642 minS10

  Episode 158: The Energy We Inherit: How Birth Stories, Family and Intergenerational Trauma Shape Us What if some of the patterns you carry aren't actually yours? In this fascinating conversation, Sherisse is joined by energetic therapist Avril to explore birth stories, intergenerational trauma, inherited energetic patterns and the ways our family history can continue to influence us, sometimes across generations. Avril shares her personal journey into energetic therapy, inspired by her father's pioneering work in bioenergy and her mother's own challenging childhood, and explains how she works with women, parents, babies and children to identify and release patterns that may have been carried through the family line. We explore what happens when we begin to look beyond our individual experiences and consider the emotional and energetic patterns we may have inherited, as well as the importance of parents doing their own inner work and creating greater energetic alignment for themselves and their children. In this episode, we talk about: ​Birth stories and the potential impact of our earliest experiences• Intergenerational trauma and inherited family patterns• How energetic patterns can influence our relationships and wellbeing• Why today's children may be experiencing and expressing the world differently• The importance of self awareness and energetic alignment for parents• The collective shifts in consciousness many people have felt since COVID• What it means to reconnect with your own rhythm, truth and identity• Avril's approach to energetic healing and her Becoming Me programme This is a conversation about remembering that you are more than the patterns you inherited. Because healing isn't always about fixing what's wrong with you. Sometimes it's about understanding what you've been carrying, deciding what is no longer yours to hold, and giving yourself permission to become who you truly are. Avril's soul to soul message is simple: Be true to yourself and recognise your own light. Join my free Telegram space here: https://t.me/+HWzed76oBpczNjA8 About Avril Hi my name is Avril.

  Episode 157: The Cost of Perfectionism:What Being "The Woman Who Has It All Together" Is Costing You

  Aug 30, 202637 minS10

  Episode 157: The Cost of Perfectionism: What Being "The Woman Who Has It All Together" Is Really Costing You What if the woman you've been trying so hard to become is actually the woman exhausting you? As September approaches, many women find themselves slipping straight back into an old identity. The productive one. The responsible one. The woman who has everything organised, everything handled and never drops the ball. But after a summer of more space, rest, freedom or simply being a little more present, you might suddenly realise that you're not actually ready to go back to the way you've been living. In this solo episode, Sherisse explores the hidden cost of perfectionism, micromanaging and the pressure to constantly have it all together. Because perfectionism isn't always about wanting things to be perfect. Sometimes it's about trying to create safety through control. It's about proving you're capable, avoiding disappointment, staying ahead of everything and becoming the version of yourself you believe you are supposed to be. And eventually, that comes at a cost. Your energy. Your relationships. Your creativity. Your ability to receive. Your capacity to rest. And perhaps most importantly, your aliveness. Sherisse explores how the pressure to perform an ideal version of yourself can disconnect you from your actual wants, needs and truth, and shares practical tools to help you move through the next chapter with more awareness, intention and ease. Inside this episode: • The hidden cost of perfectionism for high achieving women • Why micromanaging can be a form of trying to create safety • How societal expectations shape the woman you think you "should" be • Why September can trigger a return to old patterns of productivity and control • How perfectionism impacts your energy, relationships and ability to receive • Questions to help you separate your own desires from inherited expectations • A simple practice to help you create a more sustainable and grounded Q3 You don't have to return to the woman you were before summer. You don't have to sacrifice softness for success. And you certainly don't have to abandon yourself in order to achieve your goals. This is your invitation to enter September differently. Not perfectly. But consciously.
