Episode # 89: Only the truth can release you from shame
Date 7 July 2019
Truth releases us from shame.
Yet so few of us are sharing our truth.
I have been thinking about this a lot.
How we tend to share the highlights.
The good things.
We share the surface level stuff.
And sure there is a time for this.
At the soccer game.
At the school gate.
In the lunch room.
Best to keep it light!
But do you have someone in your life who you share your truth with?
Who you open up to.
About your fears.
Your worries.
Your shame, failures and regrets?
So few of us do.
I am lucky to have a three women in my life who I really do share these deep places with.
Who I tell the truth to. The whole truth. Women who I choose to expose my rough edges to.
This week on the podcast. Why it is important to create a safe space where you tell it like it is, for your own health and wellbeing and also for all of us out there who need to hear it because many of us will then, by hearing your story, feel confident enough to say ‘me too’.

Episode # 88: Who you were before is not who you are now
Date 3 July 2019
Who you are now is not who you were a few years ago.
Your body, your mind, your relationships, career, wisdom … all of it is evolving.
Do you embrace the process of evolution? Mentally, physically and spiritually?
Or do you resist it?
There is such great personal power that comes with age.
This week on the podcast, I hope I can encourage you to lean into ageing, into the evolution of you.

Episode # 87: Death and tattoos
Date 26 June 2019
On Monday a friend died unexpectedly.
He was young, healthy, fit.
He was engaged at work, loved by others, a fantastic father and friend.
Now he is dead.
In a moment, without warning, he left us.
I share this because I think it is important we don’t rush past these moments of pain that we all experience at times, or see others experiencing.
In a moment we are dead.
One day alive.
The next dead.
What will you leave behind?
If you were to die today would you be happy with how you lived?
I got a tattoo this week too.
Long planned having made the decision some time ago, but this week felt so right for it having received this sad news.
A mountain range that to me represents my family and the wilderness that I love. Strong, wild, beautiful and free.
A snowflake. Precious, beautiful, here only for a moment before it melts. A reminder that life is to be lived fully.
My friend’s life was short.
But he lived it fully alive.
He was kind, warm, loving.
He was generous.
He was a fantastic father.
He made a difference in the lives of those he knew and served in his work.
He didn’t appear in the headlines, there are no books written about him, no order of Australia medals.
But his live had meaning.
It had joy.
It mattered.
So does yours, my friend.
Please don’t forget that.
Life is precious.
You are precious.
It all goes quickly.
So please.
If your instagram makes you feel shit please delete it.
If your Facebook robs you of time with those you love delete it.
If you want to feel healthier, take action today.
If you love them, tell them you do, today.
If you don’t need it, don’t buy it.
If you feel stressed about June 30, remember you could die on June 29.
Life is bloody precious.
Go do what you love, with people you love.
Design a life you love.
Make today count.
And hug your babies tight.

Episode # 86: The pursuit of exceptional
Date 19 June 2019
I choose to believe that the point of life is to evolve.
That our purpose is to consider how we did today and try and do better tomorrow.
That the reason we are here is to grow.
To have a go.
And if we fail today to do one better, to remember that this is part of being human, that we are not broken and that we have this amazing gift … we get to try again tomorrow.
What a special thing!
As long as we are living, we get to try again tomorrow.
So my human friends …
Can you commit to the pursuit of excellence? Knowing that you will never reach it, but that the whole point of it is the pursuit itself?
To seek wisdom and knowledge.
To try new things.
To contemplate where we may be wrong.
To consider how we can show up more fully alive.
Fold the laundry like a ninja.
Make the dinner like a pro.
Read that book and soak in knowledge.
Look your partner in the eye and really listen to them.
Show up to work with your A game on.
Go for a run and push it to that next level.
Pick up a heavier weight at the gym.
Sit and do homework with your kids and choose to enjoy it.
Life is so much better when you do it fully alive!
This week on the podcast. Some ideas on how we can continue to commit to the pursuit of exceptional.

Episode # 85: Small changes. Massive results
Date 12 June 2019
Where can you make small changes, my friend?
In how you sleep.
Eat.
Move.
Engage with loved ones.
Perform at work.
Organise your home.
Plan your work.
Invest in your learning .
Plan your holidays.
Write a list.
Implement one a week.
Over time.
As they layer onto of each other.
You create massive changes.
Results you could not have dreamed off.
This is how you design your life my friend.
One thing at a time.
What will be it this week?
One small change.
Let’s get to work.

Episode # 84: Loneliness
Date 6 June 2019
Tell me, do you feel loneliness at times?
Not chronic loneliness, but more occasional visit from friend loneliness?
I do, about once every week or so. I think we all do. What most of us do in response however is to avoid it.
Do you allow yourself to feel it? Or do you avoid it? Numb it? Get busy on your phone and pretend that feeling is not there?
What do you do to avoid it? Why?
Why is loneliness something we all want to avoid?
Is it loneliness that is the problem or what we make it mean?
Rather than seeing loneliness as a problem I invite you embrace it, feel it, explore it.
Often, it is in those spaces of isolation, that the big ideas come to us.
Your masterpiece resides in those periods of solitude.

Episode # 83: What your friends never tell you about guilt
Date 29 May 2019
Guilt. That old friend.
When you talk about feeling guilt your friends tell you ‘don’t be silly, you have nothing to feel guilty about’ or similar.
I don’t suggest that approach.
Pushing away emotion never resolves it, ever.
This week I ask you to go deep.
To take a look inside.
See what is driving the emotion.
Then be honest with yourself.
No-one else is watching, my friend.
What is driving the guilt, do you want to change how you are living or do you want to re-decide and re-affirm how you are living.
You get to decide?
What kind of life do you want to live from today forward?

Episode # 82: Sitting still and owning up to the BS you tell yourself
Date 22 May 2019
So 3 weeks in a leg brace …
If you know me you have probably heard me say, “you would have to strap me to a bed and sedate me in order to stop me walking and training every day.”
What has come up in the last few weeks is all the fear underneath the constant moving that I tend to do.
Sure I meditate (at 4am before I get up and start moving), I contemplate (while I hike or swim), I sit down to eat (most of the time).
But I have know for a very long time that I have a fear of sitting still.
I had a workshop at SAHMRI (South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute) for two days last week.
I enrolled last year and every time I thought about it, or saw it in the diary, I felt that mix of fear and a desire to pull out that is all too familiar.
Even after hurting my leg and being put in a leg brace, I didn’t want to do it.
If there is something that involves sitting down for hours on end … I really do not want to do it.
Long lunches.
Full day workshops.
Lectures.
Long drives, long flights, basically anything that requires more than 30 minutes sitting down.
If I have spare time I clean the windows, vacuum, go for a run, walk to the shops. take the kids and dog to the park, run around finding jobs to do … anything to avoid sitting down.
Why?
What is with this fear?
It is the same fear that you may feel about sitting still, or not watching TV every night, or not having your phone to check when you sit at the bar waiting to meet your friend.
Or maybe it’s the fear that is underneath your snacking every time you have spare time, or calling your mum, or messaging friends, checking email, checking your apps, news feed …
What do you do to check out?
To avoid being alone with yourself?
What is beneath that fear?
For me in the past I would eat or drink wine. That was my go to that caused the most damage in my life.
But for my entire adult life movement has been the big one.
The one I refuse to let go off.
The one that is ‘healthy’ and ‘good for you’ and a ‘good addiction to have’.
It is also a great way to avoid being alone with yourself, with your true self, with all the stuff underneath.
So … that’s been my week.
Being faced with all the stuff underneath.
Learning to love that stuff, learning to question that stuff, to test if it is true, and to let it go if it isn’t.
This week’s podcast is about the stuff and about being honest with yourself – recorded with so much love for you all.

Where are the rough edges?
What do you want for the years ahead?
Where were your wrong?
Where were you right?
What do you want to change?

There has been a change in my focus and drive to one of flow not push. It feels right for right now so I am owning it and living it.

Episode # 79: You are worthy
Date 17 April 2019
Is it just me or do all of you guys sometimes feel like you are just not enough?
That your life doesn’t matter?
That you are insignificant.
The mind tends to tell us this, right.
We think that the bigger house, nicer car, higher salary, awards, recognition, fancy holiday will be the solution.
They never are.
Here is my message to you this weekend my friends.
You are, as you are right now, worthy of existing in this world.
You were born worthy.
That little baby.
You.
Just born.
Worthy then and still are now.
Enough then and still are now.
You can stop grasping for validation, reward, recognition and greatness … you are already great.
It, this, what we are all doing, perhaps it all means nothing in the end …
So please ask yourself.
What is your version of a beautiful, good life?
That is your work in the world my friend. To create that.
Nothing more, nothing less.

Episode # 78: Decisions from the grandstand
Date 10 April 2019
When was the last time you sat back and considered where you want to be in 20 years?
Do you have a 20 year plan?
Do you have a 5 year plan?
Most of us spend most of our lives on the field of life, reactive, managing year to year, dealing with life as it comes up.
This is exhausting and a risky way to live because you never sit back and assess the long game.
This week on the podcast I share with you as super tool. Decision making from the grandstand.
Here is what it looks like in action.
Creating strategy.
Learning.
Developing.
Brainstorming.
Mapping out a 20 year plan.
Reassessing values, priorities and your definition of success.
Reflecting on lessons learned.
Setting aspirations for the years ahead.
Changing the plan to take into account changes in the world around you.
Identifying what will move you forward in the biggest ways and making time for that.
Identifying where you need to invest time to practice, train and increase your strength and stamina for the long game.
Making informed choices to put some things to the side while you focus on what is going to be essential in the future.
This is how you create an insurance policy protecting you from waking up in someone else’s dream life but out of alignment with the life you always wanted deep down inside.
This weekend take a moment to listen in, pen and paper, and get in the grandstand for a birds eye view.

Episode # 77: You can create space for YOU inside of motherhood
Date 2 April 2019
Do you have a story running that motherhood and career cant ever flow?
That the constant mayhem, drama and exhaustion is just how it is.
That the push and pull and feeling like you never show up as your best self in either space is what you have to look forward to for the rest of your life?
I find a lot of clients feel this way, especially when they start to contemplate how they want to grow in the years ahead.
Often it is the invitation to consider a bigger life, a new stage, to step into that next version of themselves – that triggers this belief.
Have you noticed this for yourself?
You consider a new way, something bigger, a change … and up it comes.
This week on the podcast. I bust this story wide open.

Episode # 76: You create time and money for what you value
Date 27 March 2019
Show me your bank statement and I will tell you what you value.
Show me your diary and I know immediately what your priorities are.
What do you invest your time and money in?
Log into your banking and take a look right now.
What are the last 20 things you spend your money on?
What about your schedule, look back over the last 10 days, what did you consistently give time to, every day?
Healthy behaviours and investments?
Time with loved ones?
Time to create value in this world through how you serve others?
Most people want to design a life that reflects their highest values.
We want to design a life that aligns with the person we are becoming.
But no-one teaches us how to consistently take action and invest our time and money in the things that count.
This is why I have a coach.
This is why my clients put aside time and money for me to coach them.
This is why I believe all of us need a coach.
This week on the podcast I coach you to take a look at your life from the grandstand and really get honest about where you invest your time and money.
If you don’t make sure your actions and investments are congruent with the person you are becoming you can never create the life you truly desire.
Want to take a look?

Episode # 75: Difficult conversations
Date 20 March 2019
What difficult conversation are you avoiding right now?
Where are you pretending?
Faking it?
Playing nice girl and avoiding telling the truth?
Avoiding difficult conversations for fear of the outcome guarantees you of one thing: relationships that are built on lies and pretence that lead to resentment.
Not pretty, right!
It is also patronising and enabling behaviour disguised as being the nice girl.
By all means be kind.
But what if you approached that conversation you are avoiding with a strong back and a soft heart?
This is what it looks like.
Strong back.
Soft heart.
Honest.
Kind.
Respectful.
Firm.
Just imagine having this conversation now.
Strong back, soft heart my friends.
Go have that conversation.
This week on the podcast I talk more about having difficult conversations.

Episode # 74: Under pressure much
Date 13 March 2019
What comes out of you when you are under pressure is what was already inside you.
Anger.
Tears.
Anxiety.
Meanness.
Rage.
Resentment.
We all turn to our particular brand of poison when we feel under the pump.
We are like volcanos.
What comes out, that lava of our choosing, was already in there.
Take a look inside this week on the podcast at what is already inside you that perhaps it is time to let go off.
I think it is time to let go of your attachments to things and people being certain way?
If you think so too you can learn how to get started this week on the podcast.
This week I give you a specific tool to help you action this work and release old ways of reacting unconsciously.

Episode # 73: Quit it!
Date 7 March 2019
OK. I read a report that approximately 80% of women size each other up physically when meeting and if they feel challenged what follows is a negative comment either out loud or internally.
And it got me thinking … a lot.
Do be warned this is a bit of a rant.
I have a request of you my friend.
Can we all please draw a line in the sand and today commit to no more judgement, comparison and gossip?
This is such an energy waster.
It is an assault on others and on ourselves.
It is buying into the hamster wheel of never enough.
We have all heard it, we have all said it and we all at times think it as we look at other peoples lives on social.
It’s not our fault.
We have been taught that our success is dependant of their failure, that our win depends on their loss, that our beauty depends on being thinner than them or having a nicer wardrobe.
We have been put on a hamster wheel and taught to play to the mould that ensures we stay small.
That we need to compete for attention. That we need to be thinner, stronger, smarter, wealthier, younger than our sister sitting next to us.
The problem is there is no end to this way of living.
We can never be enough if we assess ourselves in comparison to others.
Comparison, jealousy, thinking, it’s a race to be the best at this thing we call life and is a never ending hamster wheel to nowhere.
Can we stop it please?
Commit to being intentional in how we receive, comment and engage with each other.
Commit to calling each other out when we slip back to old habits of judgement and comparison and remind each other we don’t do that shit anymore.
Can we commit to push back when others expect us to dive down to this level.
Can we commit to be strong.
To support.
To show up for and to celebrate each other.
Even if we would choose not to dress, work, eat, parent, love or live like they do?
To celebrate their freedom to do whatever the hell they want and to protect our ability to do the same.
No more tearing each other’s wings off and in doing so tearing off our own.
Ok rant over.

Episode # 72: There is no such thing as a stressful day
Date 1 March 2019
There is no such thing as a stressful day.
Nor is there a long day, or a fast day, or a crazy day, or a hectic day, or a manic day …
You get my point.
A day is made up of hours, 24 of them.
It is not an emotion.
It is the passing of time.
You can choose to feel stressed about your day, your month, your life.
Or you can start to practice seeing things differently.
You can see your day as exciting, energising, a gift, a fun ride.
You get to decide.
How are you choosing to think about your life right now?
How does that thought make you feel?
What are you teaching others in your tribe or team in terms of how they approach a busy schedule, deadlines, domestic tasks, life in general?
Do you teach them to dread hard work, to avoid challenges, to feel stressed over a busy schedule? Do they look at how you are living and think it is something they would ever want for themselves?
What if you taught them to enjoy working hard?
What if you decided that it was a good thing to go to bed at the end of a day feeling physically and mentally tired having done something of value in this world?
That is when you have the best nights sleep!
This week on the podcast I talk about how there is no such thing as a ‘stressful’ day and how you can start to train hard, create hard, love hard and sleep like a dream!

Episode # 71: Not Normal
Date 22 February 2019
“Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work, driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for, in order to get to a job that you need so you can pay for the clothes, car and house that you leave empty all day in order to afford to live in it.” – Ellen Goodman
I read this quote the other day and it got me thinking about what is normal today for so many people.
Normal is …
Lots of debt.
Working long hours.
Pretend friendships.
Fake insta feeds.
Hungover weekends.
Dread on Monday morning.
Wading through mud to get to the end of the working week.
Little sleep and feeling tired all the time.
Being overweight.
Disconnected relationships.
Mess, everywhere.
Crammed robes.
Being late to everything.
Feeling unorganised, overwhelmed and over it.
Gosh … that is depressing.
Stuff normal!
Let’s be organised.
Financially responsible.
Authentic.
Let’s invest in a few genuine friendships and quit the insta highlight real.
Let’s be honest about how we feel in our relationships.
Let’s not do the hangovers any more (damn I cant even imagine one of them now!).
Let’s not boast about never sleeping and actually get some damn sleep!
Let’s stop trying to lose weight and just start nurturing and loving our bodies.
Let’s refuse overwhelm.
Clean up the house, car, schedule (cancel some stuff!) and tidy up our minds.
Let’s be on time.
Let’s be present.
Let’s be fully there with those we love.
Have a beautiful weekend my friends being anything but normal.

Episode # 70: SPECIAL EPISODE, ELIZABETH GILBERT. Please don’t tear your wings off
Date 13 February 2019
“Listening to a woman take herself down is like watching a phoenix rip of its wings” Elizabeth Gilbert
Criticising yourself much?
Responding to a complement by offering up a list of your flaws?
Telling yourself every morning you are not thin enough, pretty enough, smart enough?
Going to bed reminding yourself that you didn’t do well enough today? Didn’t get enough done?
It’s time we stop this ladies.
Line in the sand.
No more.
Not inside your head.
Not coming out of your mouth.
You are doing the best you can with what you have.
Sure you might want to learn how to do better.
But you are enough my friend.
You are good, you are beautiful, you are complete, you are a fucking goddess.
You can not give love to others if you dont give it to yourself.
Please, if you do one thing today, remind yourself that you are loved, you are unbreakable and you are enough.
This week on the podcast I share with you the work of Elizabeth Gilbert. I see today that the work of Liz was the catalyst to so much growth in my life, she planted the seed that would one day make me a coach and for that I am forever grateful.

Do you consistently have the ability to show up and do what you said you were going to do?
Do you schedule your time and honour that plan?
Do you decide ahead of time when you will work, train, rest, play, learn and connect?
Do you show up for yourself or do you cancel all the time and decide to do something else?
Do you say you are going to eat well this week, get that project done, clean out that robe…then quit by Tuesday evening?
Do you quit on yourself often?
Deep discipline is not something we either have or don’t have.
It is something you can cultivate.
Deep discipline is your ticket to freedom my friend.
It is how you feel confident, assure and calm.
Do you want to be able to have your own back?
This week on the podcast. I talk about how.

Contemplation.
Pondering.
Letting things roll around in your head for a bit.

Deep thought gives us space.
To go for a stroll with nothing in our ears talking or singing.
To drive the car in silence.
To sit in the sun and let it warm you.
To ponder and soften up.
Take some time for this my friends.
I believe it is endlessly good for you and the world around you.

Very little is achieved in life without some effort.
This week on the podcast I talk about how strong effort toward something that you feel is good and worthy is an energy generator.

Episode # 51: MASSIVE ACTION & RESISTANCE
Date 14 September 2018
This week on the podcast I talk about the difference between massive action and passive action.

Thinking.
Learning.
Talking.
Contemplating.
Strategising.
Googling.
To-Do-List Writing.
You have probably already done most of this already today.
What we find challenging is the massive action we need to take in order to move toward our goals.
What are you working toward?
Would your life look right in a months time if you started taking massive action today?

Episode # 45: WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE?
Date 3 August 2018
This thing called purpose.
We see it splashed all over social media.
It’s the thing we all need to discover in order to live full and meaningful lives.
It’s as if it is to be found at the end of rainbow. Like it is an actual thing. This purpose.
It isn’t a thing.
It is a fiction. A thought. A belief. A story.
It’s not necessarily a bad story.
But its not real.
You cant go on a hunt to find it at the bottom of the garden.
It is just an idea that you can choose to have. A belief.
Purpose is the reason something exists.
A knife has a purpose.
A toaster has a purpose.
A car has a purpose.
You then think, what is my purpose?
And we humans like to think that it must be something high and mighty in order to be of any value.
And this is where we get stuck.
Really stuck.
This week on the podcast I talk about how to choose your purpose and why its not such a big deal, it’s ok to be ordinary!

Episode # 30: Special Edition. What will you be a warrior for
Date 19 April 2018
What will you be a warrior for?
What are you willing to give up some part of yourself for?
What inspires you to speak up, stand up, be exposed, risk failure?
This week on the podcast I invite you to consider what you will be a warrior for. What are you willing to sacrifice for? What makes you stand up, speak up and risk being seen.
For many of us motherhood is a path of warrior-ship. So is activism and speaking up for issues of social justice.
The warrior is one who stands up and risks being wrong, being vulnerable. Who chooses to love, expose their dreams, risk their freedom and expose themselves to failure and despair.
It is a path that is challenging, but it is also the only path to truly understand your place in the world and the greater world around you.

This week on the podcast I am talking about indecision. I truly believe indecision is one of the biggest killers of our dreams. Being decisive is a skill you can develop and master. When you do, you find that you don’t feel so busy all the time! How do we make decisions firmly and great momentum in our life? This week I show you how. I talk about the fear we have when it comes to making decisions: What if I get it wrong? What will people think of me? I share with my tips for managing these fears. I talk about how you can exercise restraint when it comes to your choices including what you eat, where you shop and how you start and end your day. Decisiveness generates confidence, accelerates your growth and generates energy. Loved recording this one for you guys, I hope you enjoy it!

Date 8 Feb 2018
This week on the podcast a special edition where I share with you some of my own personal coaching, my January experience and how I stumble and fail and what I make it mean. So often we can think that the whole point of life is to be perfect. That what we should be striving for in how we work, parent, engage with others and in our health is perfection. But what is perfection? Does it even exist? What does perfection do to self-compassion? And how does this idea keep us from our true potential and possibility. This week is raw, unedited and very much behind the scenes.

Episode # 19: That thing you want to stop wanting so much
Date 1 Feb 2018
This week on the podcast I share with you my story of stopping drinking. Well over a year ago I stopped drinking. This at the time seemed like the hardest thing to do. I was not an alcoholic, but like so many of us I lived in a culture and community where drinking was just want you did. Only alcoholics didn’t drink right! But I wanted to not want it. I wanted to sleep better, work better, parent better, connect better and I knew deep down that those 2 glasses of wine in the evening were limiting me and my life. In this episode, I share with you the process that worked for me, what I imagined a life with no alcohol would be like, what it really is like and how lately the desire has returned.
This episode is one where I share a very personal story for me and admit some things about myself that are deeply personal. A bit longer than usual, sorry for the rambling! But I truly hope this episode inspires any of you who want to stop over drinking, over eating, over exercising, over obsessing to free up that space in your life that it takes so much of.
If you want to apply this work I would love you to join me in my monthly coaching program, Your Life Designed. Enrolment March is open!

Episode # 17: Resisting what is
Date 18 Jan 2018
This week on the podcast I talk about how you can let go of what you cannot control and open up the space and time you need to ask the questions that really matter.
We spend so much time and energy thinking and talking about what we have no control over. Whinging about our relationships, jobs, kids, family, lives. Gossiping and creating drama in our lives. This is exhausting.
It can be confronting to see just how much time you do waste in this space! But the good news is that you have a choice, you can learn to get out of other people’s business and back into your own.
This is so important when it comes to creating change in your life. When we stop resisting reality we are left with what is and then the question becomes, what are you going to do with your life? What are you going to do with what you have? You are left with a decision to make! What is the opportunity here? Why is this happening for me? How can I influence this situation in a positive way? How can I learn? How can I grow? Who do I want to be? What do I want to do? How do I want to grow?
This week it is all about learning not to be such a big whinger (and we are all guilty of this)!
Enrolment for February 2018 in Your Life Designed, my monthly coaching program, is open! Enrol today to get started so you can start February clear, focused and ready to step it up in your life. I would love you to come join us! You can enrol here www.lauracarrocci.com/enrol
