Anxious Tradeswoman

Ep 24 Over bearing help and mansplaing

People love to help and often they have good intentions but if you are trying to learn then sometimes they are actually taking opportunities away from you to practice and build skills. In this episode I go through what this can look like and how to stop it.

Ep 23 - Identifying as a female tradie

We can use the title "female tradie" for or against ourselves and other people can as well - and if you don't identify this way then that is fine too.
 
We want to check if we are using it against ourselves or other people are using it against us - to make us small or weak and if they are to stop them or stop us from bringing ourselves down.

Ep 22 - Think of something positive every time you think of something negative

So often we try and "just think positively" and it lasts 5 minutes and out inner voice rolls its eyes at us and is like yeah, no. In this episode I go through a reasonable middle ground that is achievable to implement.
