Achieving Your Goals: The Practical Side of Law of Attraction and Manifesting

Tue, 22 Aug 2023 02:00:00 +1100

I've wanted to do an episode about the Law of Attraction and Manifesting for a while but haven't had the space to really think it through. I want to make a practical guide to manifesting; one that is grounded in reality and not a lot of the spiritual noise that I often hear about this subject.

To me the Law of Attraction and Manifesting boils down to having a clear vision or goal, taking action to achieve your goal(s) all whilst maintaining a positive mindset. The key to this is taking action. I am sure there is more to it than that - or maybe there isn't! I like to keep things simple.

Anyway I hope you like this straightforward and practical view on the attracting and manifesting what you want. Do I believe you can be, do or have what ever you manifest... I guess it is possible with the right focus and effort. Most of the manifesting success stories that I have heard have been aligned to how that person operates of the direction they have been travelling anyway - that is not to discount their achievements but to celebrate that they were on the journey and putting in the work so their reward was a result of their efforts.

Rising Above: From Swim Search Semi-Finalist to Empowering Role Model - A Journey of Unapologetic Resilience with NoorJehan Tourte

Tue, 25 Jul 2023 03:30:00 +1100

After unexpectedly making it to the semi-finals of the 2022 Sports Illustrated Swim Search Competition, NoorJehan Tourte has made it her mission to get women excited about the prospect of falling on their faces, over and over, if it means they are making their one life on this earth count.

She believed that becoming a Sports Illustrated model would represent the culmination of a lifetime spent searching for her true identity, but the experience helped her realize that her childhood dream was not only to be a cover model, but also a role model, one who empowers ladies to show the world every side, from every angle, unapologetically.

Amidst the multitude of societal pressures put on women to conform, she wants to reassure her fellow females that living the life you painstakingly cultivated for yourself is worth even the worst of days, the worst of moments. Because wouldn’t you rather stumble living life, than squander it standing still?

NoorJehan is currently a Group Senior Vice President Brand Strategist at healthcare advertising agency AREA 23. Prior to working in advertising, she was a U.S. Brand Marketer at Pfizer and a healthcare consultant at PwC. She holds an MBA from Columbia University and an MPH from UCLA. She has a passion for storytelling that is universal, and believes this can be done if we all lead with empathy.

What in the Chat GPT is going on with the Women In Confidence podcast?

Wed, 12 Apr 2023 02:00:00 +1100

An unusual one today in that I don't have a human guest joining me on the podcast. I decided to have Chat GPT be the 'guest' and to see what this AI tool would make of the questions I put to it.

I have played around with the sound of my voice to be more computer/AI like - I actually had a lot of fun learning how to do this and then putting it into action. Continuously learning and developing is often cited as key to growing confidence so I guess I am practicing what I preach. I am also not afraid to try things and feeling the fear but doing it anyway!

Thanks for playing along with this episode - I hope you enjoyed it. Please rate and review wherever you listen to your podcasts. This helps enormously in helping more incredible women finding the podcast. Also check out the podcast's social media pages:

Supplements to boost confidence with Vanessa Murphy

Wed, 08 Mar 2023 02:00:00 +1100

This week it is just me - talking about the 2 supplements that I take to boost my confidence, my energy and to lift my mood. These 2 supplements are Ashwagandha and Rhodiola. They are both adaptogenic which means they contain active ingredients from certain plants and mushrooms that may impact how your body deals with stress, anxiety and fatigue. Over the last couple of years I have been feeling really tired and stressed and never feeling normal. Since I have started taking these two products, I can honestly say my moods and energy levels are more consistent. This means I can be much more relaxed about how I show up and how I perform - which gives me confidence in my abilities.

For more information on Ashwagandha and Rhodiola - my recommendation is the internet - good old Google but also speak to a naturopath who will be well educated in both these two supplements.

Good luck and let me know how you get on by emailing me on contact@vanessa-murphy.com

Confidence Affirmations with Vanessa Murphy

Tue, 14 Feb 2023 02:00:00 +1100

This episode is dedicated to confidence affirmations - 20 minutes for you to sit back, relax and re-program your mind to think positive confidence boosting thoughts. See as some self-love time for Valentine's Day.

This week I decided to do something slightly different and I loved every minute of creating this affirmation session for you - so much so that I am already planning further affirmations sessions.

You may have heard of affirmations and maybe even use affirmations already. I started using affirmations properly in early 2020 – the story as to why is for another day but affirmations are definitely in my self-care toolbox which I reach into from time to time when I need to work on something.

Our beliefs are learned thought patterns from our childhood which we now use to interpret things that happen to us – some thought patterns were given to us by family, carers, teachers etc. and imprinted into our minds, some work with us and support us and some are negative and work against us. Every thought is a reflection of our inner beliefs and inner ‘truths’ but please remember that these truths or beliefs were based on invalid impressions that we created or were created for us, earlier in our lives and therefore may not be truths today. So think about this - if every thought we have is a form of affirmation then we should endeavour to have positive thoughts. You have the power to do that.

Using positive affirmations, you can disrupt negative thinking habits and build a new route in your brain for positive thoughts. Eventually, if you are consistent in your practice, positive thought patterns appear, and your good thoughts affect your actions. You can learn to be more confident, to love yourself, to build better relationships or whatever you are seeking to achieve.

If you enjoyed this episode please rate, review and share. If you want a special edition affirmation recording for abundance and prosperity, please email me on contact@vanessa-murphy.com (SUBJECT: Abundance) and I will send you the audio file.

Be confident,

Are you parenting from a position of fear and lack of Confidence with Nina Cruz

Thu, 27 Oct 2022 02:00:00 +1100

Nina Cruz is a certified conscious parent coach/social worker & mediation teacher whose mission is to support parents in building healthy connections with their children. She does this through teaching them conscious parenting, where they heal their own childhood wounds so they can consciously raise empowered children.

Parents who gain a new sense of awareness through inner transformation create a new blueprint for themselves and their children. This is why one of Nina’s greatest passions is to guide parents to do their own ‘inner work’ so their children can be free to live out their authentic destinies.

Certified as a conscious parenting coach, Nina integrates eastern mindfulness with western psychology in helping parents heal their ancestral legacies. Her expertise has allowed her to collaborate with experts around the globe.

Access your Awareness to Confidence with Sophie McLean

Thu, 13 Oct 2022 02:00:00 +1100

My guest this week is Sophie McLean the Founder of Access Awareness.

To describe Sophie McLean’s life as “eventful” would be quite an understatement. She’s been a helicopter pilot, a teacher, a designer, a relief worker, a war refugee, a CEO, and a UN Representative; she’s been shot at, shipwrecked, and widowed. As a wisdom teacher, Sophie has spent decades leading transformational seminars to over 80,000 people globally, examining the human network of ideas, beliefs, consciousness, and ego.

Sophie McLean's mission is to contribute to the creation of a new culture for humankind; or the shift from Homo Sapiens to Homo Spiritus, as Dr. David Hawkins so beautifully wrote.

Sophie's seminar and podcast topics span both human and metaphysical dimensions – exposing and deconstructing the automatic ego, consciousness, freedom, love, stress, anxiety, fear, relationships, health, sex, money, ownership, leadership, spirituality, creation and evolution, the feminine and the masculine, responsibility, and making an effective, actionable difference in the world.

Sophie engages people in a rigorous review of their life and a systematic questioning of their conclusions on the basis that without examining our network of ideas, beliefs, social and cultural judgments, and our assumptions about the world, those are transformed into constraints. Her interest is in the nature of what it means to be human.

Sophie's book, The Elegance of Simplicity: A Wisdom Teacher's Epic Journey to Awareness, is a compelling, thought-provoking work of autobiographical fiction, one that communicates life-altering concepts proposing an effortless pathway to awareness.

Melbourne (where I live) is currently receiving a year's worth of rain in a couple of days so you might be able to hear that in the background of this recording. I did think about taking it out of the recording but that is something only a highly skilled sound engineer could do and also it makes this podcast real.

If you want to be a guest or know someone who would like to appear on the show please get in touch on contact@vanessa-murphy.com. I am setting myself up for Season 6 and I am on the look out for interesting women to talk to.

Welcome back Emily Ridout - Astrology and AstroYoga goddess

Tue, 04 Oct 2022 02:00:00 +1100

Welcome back to Emily Ridout... I am so excited by this episode for many many reasons. The number one reason is that Emily is the best - an absolute superstar of the astrology world (and I am not talking tabloid horoscopes here). She is the real deal when it comes to talking about the impact that the sun, moon, stars etc have on us on a deep level. Secondly she is so knowledgable about so much and I learn something every time I either speak to Emily or watch her incredible Instagram feeds. I can guarantee that you will learn lots of things from just listening to this episode. Thirdly, Emily is the first guest that I have had back on to be interviewed again. I love trying new things with Women In Confidence and when Emily contacted me to ask if we could record an episode again I jumped in with both feet.

If you want to learn even more from Emily then she is running her flagship course, starting on the 19th October. The course is called Astrology Academy and you should check it out. If you sign up to Astrology Academy please let her know that you have listened to her on Women In Confidence as I know she will be thrilled you have heard the episode.

And if you want even more from Emily then she is also an AstroYoga teacher and expert - If you Google here she the Number 1 name there. She has kindly sent me an AstroYoga video to share with my listeners and That link is here.

Website: emilyridout.com

Instagram: @emily_ridout_astroyoga

As seen in Yoga Journal, Reader's Digest, Yoga Digest, Thrive Global, and Well + Good

Here is some feedback on the Astrology Academy from a very happy attendee......

I absolutely loved the Astro Yoga course and I’m so happy I found it, literally by accident in a google search! I have been an astrologer and yoga teacher for over 10+ years, and I’m so grateful that I can now combine my two passions together in this magical way.

The course itself was so easy to follow from one lesson to the next, there is so much information and knowledge weaved into it, and it’s clear Emily is an expert in her field.

I loved that the course was offered online as it means that those of us who live in the Southern Hemisphere are able to sign up & take the course virtually. I can’t thank Emily enough for this beautiful offering and for creating this community of Astro Yogi’s.

I know I lack confidence when I feel.... I do.... I say.... with me, Vanessa Murphy

Thu, 04 Aug 2022 00:15:00 +1100

Hello I'm Vanessa, the host and producer of the Women In Confidence podcast. This week I talk you through one of the methods I use, with my coaching clients, to help them really understand in what way they lack confidence.

It is very easy to say 'I lack confidence' but most people don't know the nuances of their confidence and when/where it can let them down. By doing this exercise, I guide my clients to pin point what is causing a lack of confidence. We can then work on resolving that - and that will be the content on another episode (so keep on listening).

Anyone can try this exercise, but as I say in this episode - give yourself the time and space to do it. See it as an investment in yourself.

If you enjoy the episode or any of the Women In Confidence episodes, please rate and review and spread the word.

Next week I am joined by Theresa Lear Levine who talks about Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and manifesting confidence. Definitely not one to miss - we also recorded an EFT session with me, diving into a real issue that I am facing into. This was a special recording and I am very grateful to Theresa for doing this just for Women In Confidence. To get hold of that special recording, Theresa will give you the details in the episode.

Until next time

The Power of No, Asking for Help and Why Women are more successful at trading

Tue, 26 Jul 2022 02:00:00 +1100

This week Louise Bedford and I co host the Women In Confidence podcast and the Talking Trading podcast

Louise Bedford is a best-selling author of five books on the stockmarket. She is one of Australia’s most compelling speakers on the sharemarket, has been trading the markets since 1990, and trained thousands of people to maximise their own trading potential.

She is a behavioural finance expert and has degrees in Psychology and Business, and she can help you shortcut your way to success. She’s been running the 6-month repeat-for-free www.tradinggame.com.au Mentor Program since the year 2000, and she’s also the founder of www.talkingtrading.com.au, a free weekly trading podcast. Known as ‘the corporate executive who lost the use of her arms and achieved financial freedom by trading with a pen in her mouth’ – she will inspire you to achieve your trading best.

Her presentations are not about vague concepts that don’t work in the real world. They are about incredibly practical, time-saving strategies that you need to implement in order to become an extremely successful trader. Her key areas of focus are using candlestick charts, trading psychology, pattern detection, the impact of neuro-psychology on trading decisions and trading crisis management.

Officially crowned as Australia’s ‘Candlestick Queen’, she’s known as the trader that brought this fascinating technique to Australia.

When she’s not hanging out with her traders, she is spending time with her two children and husband, lifting weights at the gym, and enjoying yoga… and trying to get a glimpse of her own reflection on the back of her business partner, Chris Tate’s, bald head.

You’re going to want to listen to absolutely every word she has to say.

Living authentically, practicing yoga and living in the present with Bridget Schaeffers on Women In Confidence

Tue, 01 Feb 2022 11:13:00 +1100

This week's guest is Bridget Schaeffers, Founder of The Yoga Travel Company – a company that offers bespoke yoga and wellness retreats in her home land of New Zealand.

Bridget first discovered yoga in 2013 when her inner guide led her on a solo adventure to India. She attended her first yoga class in the spiritual town of Dharamshala, home to the Dalai Lama, an auspicious beginning, for certain.

Under the guidance of skillful teachers and the lens of her own devoted curiosity, Bridget’s practice deepened and evolved. She has studied in both India and New Zealand and is currently completing her advanced 300hr yoga teacher training with The New Zealand Yoga Collective. Bridget’s teaching draws on various styles of yoga and the wisdom gained from nearly a decade of experience in her field.

In 2018, Bridget decided to connect her 6 years of tourism industry experience with her love for sharing yoga - and the Yoga Travel Co. was born. A true synergy of her passions - yoga, travel, and people. She believes that we're all connected through the universal power of love and can experience divine moments nof truth, healing and transformation through these ancient practices. Living in the sunny Hawkes Bay in New Zealand with her daughter and husband, Bridget lives and teaches from the heart.

Confidence in Action: Susie Campbell on Starting Over, Speaking Up, and Supporting Others

Sun, 03 Oct 2021 09:00:00 +1100

Susie Campbell left her life in the UK, with a 3-month old and a 3 year old in tow, to begin a journey half way around the world to Australia, alongside her military husband. With no family or friends, nor actually ever having been to Australia before, she swiftly recognised that connections would be crucial if she were to forge a new career there. With no clue as to what that career may be, Susie simply began doing what she did best - spot opportunities to help and make a difference.

With a lifelong belief in the power of building relationships, Susie quickly found ways her skills could support Australian businesses. Using her very down-to-earth approach to marketing and PR - a skill she learned in a very hands on way, Hullabaloo PR was born. It is designed to help businesses market themselves organically through creating a great customer experience, building local connections and partnerships, and through the use of traditional media. Susie firmly believes that businesses do better when they work together and that engaging with their community is key to their success.

Within a year Susie had the beginnings of a business that has gone on to help thousands of business owners and experts, to grow and scale and secure media coverage that has built them a reputation as an expert in their field. Now 7 years on and with a small team of other women, Susie teaches, coaches and supports businesses worldwide and has had the pleasure of working with many experts, start-ups and individuals all eager to make their own mark on the world.
