I'm Nicola Cloherty and on SELFISH. with Nicola Cloherty Podcast, I chew the fat with other women, and sometimes by myself about reconnecting to your truest self - by creating physical and energetic alignment that is authentically aligned to you and your uniqueness. I have had the absolute honour of talking to so many wonderful women who are doing amazing things in the world, and they generously share their stories, what they do, how they do it, and beautiful nuggets of wisdom and tips for you to put into practice.You should know, I swear and love to talk about menstruation, vaginas, vulvas, creativity, intention, conscious choices, energy, self-awareness, self-nourishment, self-connection, self-care, self-love - and so much more.
Women Who Brith is a series of talks called ~ @womenwhobirth ~ whereby I speak to women about their various birthing experiences from an energetic, creative, business and physical point of view. You can listen to all the convos via Instagram or my podcast: SELFISH. with Nicola Cloherty.
If this sounds like music to your ovaries, I'd love you to invite you to have a listen!
![Sorry isn't the hardest word, actually, Elton. 👉🏼👉🏼👉🏼 It's actually ducking easy innit. Rolls off the tongue. #default #disclaimer #kneejerk Interrupt the narrative When we have to choose not to do something that we originally wanted or agreed to, our natural inclination is to spew sorry all over the place. Sorry, I'm late. Sorry for the late notice; I can't make it. Sorry, the dog shit the bed and then spewed on my homework. Sorry, I didn't put the washing on, I got so immersed in creation for work, and it slipped my mind. You get the drift. But are you truly sorry? Have you done something wrong? There are many, many moments and times when we have to choose ourselves instead of what we set out to do. Perhaps our needs changed. We over-committed or said yes when we meant no. Perhaps our energy is off, or we are on Day 27, and we feel like a bag of shit and don't want to do people. Perhaps we had to make a time-critical decision for our future, our family, or our business. Perhaps we changed, and so, therefore, things change and where we put our energy and alignment can't be compromised anymore. These perhapses might be on point, but the way we "create excuses" or use a default narrative isn't. Everything is a choice. Even the auto-response to say sorry. It's loaded and feels heavy. Both, as the "sorry" sayer and receiver. Next time you think about or say sorry off the cuff, stop and ask yourself - have I done anything wrong? Do I need to apologise? LADIES, THIS IS HAAAAUGE IN OUR CAMP! Ask yourself, how can I communicate my needs to the person I am changing plans with so that I don't feel heavy and receive honesty. Why not say something like: "Thank you for receiving this at late notice. I'm assuming you'll understand this (tell me if not - I'm open to hearing), but something has come up that is important to me/time-critical [insert here], and I have to miss our call/meeting/coffee. Can we rearrange to another time that suits?" We can exercise that choice, honesty and clear communication muscle anytime.
