Those big dreams you have are yours to bring to life. Not the guru look up to and think that kind of special is reserved for. Not the superstars of the world. Not the influencers with 1m followers.. You. You are the magic! Your life experiences and unique gifts more than qualify you to bring them to life. The reason why we have the visions or nudges or inspirations or dreams or whatever you wanna call it is because we’re the ones to bring that magic to life! I speak about this and what we can do to move forward on these dreams on today’s episode.

"Fearlessness means taking the first step even if you don't know where it will take you.It means being driven by a higher purpose rather than by applause. It means knowing that you reveal your character when you stand apart, more than when you stand with the crowd." - Chadwick Boseman What is between you and that thing you dream of starting and keep thinking you have no place dreaming of, that goal you have no idea how to achieve or even where to start, that impact you dream of one day making in the world, is a series of small steps. All it takes is one small courageous action everyday. That's what Chadwick did, and that's what you can do too. Sometimes, the enormity of a dream makes it seem impossible to achieve, and so we don't even start. It is possible and it is never too late. It doesn't matter where or when you start, or even how many times you fall. What's more important is that you keep going. You've got this!

I share the final 5 tips on what to do when fear gets in the way in this episode. One of the tips I share in this episode is to release the notion that we have control over anything. Often times, we don't go into things  because we don't know if we're going to be able to control the outcome. Basically because we can't guarantee that we'll succeed at it. The truth is that it's all an illusion and we're never really in control of anything. Happy listening! :)

Sometimes fear is an indication that there's something amazing right on the other side of the fear. Unfortunately, we don't even let that amazing thing see the light of day before we let the fear squelch it. One of the 5 tips I cover in this third episode of the Fear series is to lean into the fear and take it as a sign rather than run from it, and to take small actionable steps towards the thing that causes the fear as this does wonders in dissipating the fear and boosting confidence. 

The podcast is going to be centred around a theme this month and the theme for the month of August is: What to do when fear gets in the way.

Have you ever gotten an idea to start something, gotten all fired up and then got assailed by the 101 reasons why you shouldn’t AKA fear?

What if I told you, that like anything else, you can learn how to handle fear so it doesn’t get in the way of your hopes and dreams? Yuppp! You bet it’s learnable 😊 Enjoy!! 😊

"When your why is bigger than you, you don't get swayed easily." We sometimes forget the most important ingredient in our start over journey - our why.

“My being unaffected personally or directly by these injustices does not preclude me from using my voice or taking a stand for humanity" There is a lot going on in the US, Nigeria and other parts of the world right now, and it's very easy to view it from a distance and call it a US or  some other problem if you're not directly affected. These issues are global and we all need to face them. I believe that there is hope for the future and it involves us ALL playing our role. We all have a part to play in creating the world we want the next generation to live in. We can all do better.

So very often, we all think of starting over at something or doing something different and think about all the reasons we can’t do it and why it can’t work, not realizing that there’s a reason why we keep getting the urge to do that thing.. You were gifted that dream for a reason, it’s you who’s supposed to bring it to life and create an experience and possibilities for others.

If you got the chance to intentionally rewrite chapters of your story, which would they be and what would they read like?

If you’re anything like me - goal oriented, you might beat yourself up from time to time or feel a certain type of way for not achieving/doing enough in these times.  Those annoying memes that suggest something is wrong with you if you haven’t achieved anything post lockdown or point out what Isaac Newton and Shakespeare achieved aren’t helping either!  I share on today’s episode, the best gift you can give yourself in these times - the gift of self compassion! I also share some nuggets from the amazing Kristen Neff's book - Self Compassion. It’s totally okay to not hit those goals every single time. Here's to being be kinder and more loving to ourselves! 😊

Imagine you were a highly educated, multi-lingual, widely travelled, and successful businessperson, who fell in love with someone from overseas, got married, and moved to a new country, only to find that because you “came from away” none of your skills or prior achievements were valued. That was Pernille’s story and that of so many others who move to another country. What she does after multiple rejections however, is utterly fascinating.   Since founding Kisserup International Trade Roots in 1998, Pernille has worked on projects in over 90 countries, on 6 continents and in 25 sectors. She has been recognized for her achievements and contributions to Canada by the Royal Bank of Canada, the Canadian Progress Club, Women of Influence and so many other bodies.   In this interview, Pernille talks about her experience after moving to Canada, the importance of staying open and aware of culture and her journey to becoming the successful business woman she is today.   Links mentioned in this episode The House of Spirits   Subscribe and Review in iTunes Have you subscribed to the podcast yet?

Today in the guest chair, we explore starting over at anything and there is no better person to break down this topic than today’s guest, Saiyyidah Zaidi. I call her the Start Over Expert.  Saiyyidah has to be the Queen of Start Overs! She’s started over so many times in her life, it’s not only hard to keep up, it’s ridiculously impressive! From surviving a fatal accident and learning to walk or even peel potatoes again to quitting her fancy high paying director job and creating a life on her terms to starting over in different countries, the list goes on. As a child, when people asked Saiyyidah what she wanted to do when she grew up she would always say ‘I want to be happy.’ Little did she know how challenging the journey to finding that answer would be. She almost died after a car accident in 1998 while traveling to the gym, and after almost 20 years was able to run a half marathon again.  She was a director in local government responsible for the regeneration of the education estate with a budget of $500,000,000.00 and left that job to create a life on her own terms. She travelled the world with her husband and children while working with her laptop as her office. She has been coaching and mentoring people face to face and online since 2010 while working with people all over the world.  Listen in as she takes us on her startover journeys and gives actionable strategies on how to start over at anything in life.

Project Start Over is the podcast that teaches you to navigate the ebbs and flows associated with starting over in another country and to go after your dreams regardless. The Podcast will feature women who have done same and gone on to achieve incredible leaps. It’ll highlight their peaks and valleys as well as how they achieved and overcame.  This week’s episode is an introduction to the podcast. I go over why I started the podcast and explain segments you can expect to see including: Solo Episodes: I share tips and answer questions on all manner of subjects relating to Starting Over in another country. Starter Over Episodes: I interview amazing women who have started their lives over in different countries and they share their stories and insights on how they overcame their struggles and achieved incredible feats.  Expert Episodes: I interview experts on subject matters that people starting over typically struggle with. Some of us are great at adapting, and making new friends, building million dollar brands, rocking stay at home mummyhood, and some of us just aren’t and are happy to be inspired to want and be more. It is my hope that it brings immense value, and that every woman who listens is able to see herself in some of the stories shared, and redefine what’s possible for herself. The hashtag for the podcast is #projectstartover  You can find us on Instagram @projectstartover_ For more information and other valuable resources, make sure to visit the website at projectstartover.com.
