My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style - Maya Angelou  Since 2020 and the pandemic, I’ve been surviving. You probably have to. But I know in my heart, I’m someone who needs to thrive. When I look back on this year, whilst I haven't achieved all the results I wanted, I have achieved my goals. In today’s show, I’m going to discuss the difference between the two as it’s a very key difference and the ultimate difference between failure and quitting.

This one isn't for the faint-hearted. It's bold and unapologetically direct. Coming up to the end of 2022. What an intense couple of years we’ve had. How has it been for you? Are you stronger or weaker? Are you more resilient? Have your ambitions changed? Have your values changed? What will you do in 2023?If you want your life to be different, you have to build resilience. You have to build self-belief. You have to remain focussed on your mission and most importantly, you have to be accountable. Without any of these, you will become a victim to the turmoil of our current world.It starts with you making the choice to do it differently. It starts with you committing to yourself for the greater good. Sign up for the Frankly Unstoppable EmailPause with Puja - Telegram GroupPuja's Website

Do you ever go on social media and get bored? Seeing the same old same old from influencers, brands and celebrities? Do you endlessly scroll reels and TikToks, come out of the app and find yourself back in again within minutes?That’s the dopamine effect.But what if what you’re consuming on social media is actually making you feel worse about yourself and your problems - your mental health and wellbeing?In today’s episode, I’m having a frank conversation with Alex Partridge who is one of the pioneers of social media content the way we know it today. At age 21 in 2010, while a student at Oxford Brookes University, he founded UNILAD, one of the most popular social news and entertainment Internet companies in the world with an astonishing following of 50 million people around the globe. In 2012, Alex founded LADBible which would also grow to become a social media juggernaut.Whilst the episode shares our opinions, there’s some food thought that I hope will enable you to decipher which accounts and behaviours are to your benefit when you’re scrolling on social media.

In this episode I'm sharing a powerful tool that I use with my clients called what makes a good, great, amazing day? This tool is a brilliant way to begin a self-development journey especially if you find yourself lacking time to implement other things. Edward M. Hallowell, is an expert in attention deficit disorder (ADD) and he likens the experience of busyness to that of people suffering from ADD.Being busy, rather than focused on the big stuff, is more like ADD rather than being the super-effective person we aspire to be.  Sign up for the Frankly Unstoppable EmailPause with Puja - Telegram GroupPuja's Website

I’ve been on a bit of bold discovery journey these past few months and I’m not mad at it. I’ve learned so much about myself, my work and how I show up in the world and you know what? I want to be louder.  One of the things that I tend to downplay is the success my clients achieve as a result of working with me. Sound familiar?  My clients say the work we do together is "life-changing." And so today, my dear podcast listener, I want to share with you 5 tools that have changed the lives of so many of my clients. Give them a go yourself and let me know how you get on.

Creating meaningful connections starts with creating a meaningful life.Whenever there's a problem, we tend to look outside of ourselves before looking inward but what we truly want is lying deep within us.If you know what a meaningful life looks like and you begin to live it, you will naturally seek the meaningful connections to enhance your life.Expecting others to give you what you need will almost always end in failure.So be brave, go within, who are you? What do you bring to the table? What are you curious about? Sign up for the Frankly Unstoppable EmailPause with Puja - Telegram GroupPuja's Website

In today’s episode I’m exploring the 12 stages of burnout and what you can do to help yourself if you resonate with any of them. I’ve chosen this topic because the prevention of burnout is at the core of what I do so even though I’ve already covered burnout in this podcast, I wanted to create this particular burnout episode in the style of the new show. Burnout can be a self-perpetuating cycle if we don’t stop and reevaluate. This should be a show you can come back to time and time again, when you’re not feeling your best.  This episode is going to be a little bit different to what you’re used to. If you listened to episode 111, you’ll have heard me talk about a massive level-up that I went through this year. Well, that level-up has inspired me to change the name of the podcast and also to re-work the format a little. Each episode will still deliver tips and support but we’re taking it to the next level. My aim is to help you to be brilliant at what you do and how you live. You are the change-maker the world needs. My hope is that this podcast, and my work, will support you to achieve your ambitions with impact, purpose and fulfilment. I’ve really enjoyed putting this together for you. Thank you for your continued support and for listening.  Sign up for the Frankly Unstoppable EmailPause with Puja - Telegram GroupPuja's Website

The third element of Space Time Intention method is Intention. Everything starts with intention but we often storm ahead with what we’re doing without knowing why we’re doing it. Our intention needs to be the starting point. What does intention even mean? It’s basically a promise, a vow you’re making to yourself which is formed by the heart and the mind, almost like a solemn vow. You can set a goal for something but your intention is what will guide you to that goal. In this episode, we’re going to explore what intention is and how you can start to cultivate it in order to create a more fulfilling life for yourself.

This episode, we’re moving on to the Time element of my Space Time Intention method. We all want more time but we aren’t always willing to do what it takes to get it. In order to create more time, you have to create the space to identify how your time is being spent and what boundaries you need to put in place to achieve your goal of having more time.  The thing is, most people struggle with changing their perspective and the way they’ve done things. So if you’ve always had an open diary that you allow to be filled by other people both at work and in your personal life, putting in a time block for meetings will be difficult. You think that you need to be available for every single meeting or birthday party that comes your way but in actual fact, in order to protect your time, you need to take back control of it. The key to creating more time is to re-work how you currently spend your time so that’s what we’ll cover in this episode along with tips to help you get there.

In the last episode I started to talk to you about a method I’ve coined called Space Time Intention. It’s something I’ve been doing with my clients over the years but never really put it into a term as such. Most of us want more time. We struggle to find time in our days and the years go by with the same struggle of finding time. I see this a lot in my practice. From clients who say they can only do evening sessions through to those that say they can’t wake up earlier, the time they need exists. They just need to look at time differently to the way they have been. We all use time in a way that makes us feel as though we’re being efficient and productive. We also tend to fill time constantly and forget that there are moments in the time we schedule that we can use to make us happy. But in order to do this, we first need to create space. Space to look at our lives as a whole. Space to define what it is we want from our lives. Space to step back and look at where we can create time. In this episode, I’m going to delve deeper into the Space element of my Space Time Intention method and give you some tips so that you can do it for yourself.

To make the most of your life, I want to share with you a tool I use in my practice called the Space Time Intention method. Imagine the three words as a triangle, space links to time which links to intention which links to space etc etc The method takes from Ayurveda and Yoga principles too, which makes it all the more interesting - especially for me because I coined the method before I came across a Chopra article supporting it. Love how these things can happen. Today’s show is one from the heart. I’m hearing so many similar challenges that people are facing in their day to day lives, that I hope you can get some insight that will help you to make the most of your life too.
