EP25: The Messy Middle of Becoming [S3E1]

<p>Welcome to Season 3! </p><p>In today&#39;s yummy voice-note-style episode I share what&#39;s been coming up for me as I step into my next evolution. I talk about the messy middle of becoming, the parts of the journey we don&#39;t always share online, and why I&#39;m done with the performative highlight reel that is social media. </p><p>This season is about real conversations, real challenges, and creating a space where we can show up as our whole selves. Buckle up, baddie. We&#39;re doing this together! </p><p>If you&#39;re still sitting on the promise you made to yourself at the beginning of this year, and need support taking one step forward, then listen up. The Plot Twist is my once-off 45-minute 1:1 coaching session where we look at what&#39;s getting in your way, and what needs to shift so that this year actually gets to be different. Sometimes we cannot see our own blind spots, and that&#39;s precisely what this is for. The cost is R850 ($55). </p><p>Click this link to book your spot: <a href="https://calendly.com/sonjamcoaching/plottwist"><u>https://calendly.com/sonjamcoaching/plottwist</u></a></p><p><br></p><p>Sending so much love! </p><p><br></p><p>PS: come follow me on<a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVbz4KHiPPq/?igsh=MWdxeGRlOXlxZ3l3dQ==%E2%81%A0"><u>⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</u></a>,<a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1GsiPJh3rc/%E2%81%A0"><u>⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</u></a> and<a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/sonjamckaiser/p/so-here-i-am-experimenting-once-again?r=2lt2u1&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true"><u>⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠SUBSTACK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</u></a>!</p><p></p>

EP24: Is your need for approval holding you back? [S2E12]

<p>Full Moon Blessings and happy May!</p><p>This episode lands on the Full Moon in Scorpio, so if things have been feeling intense, you&#39;re not imagining it.</p><p>As we close out Season 2, I&#39;m going a little deeper into why you may be getting on your own way, and how to move through it. Because it&#39;s definitely not lack of trying but possibly your need for approval that&#39;s keeping you in the same loop.</p><p>In this short reflection, I talk about how deeply this pattern can run, why it trips us up even when we&#39;re ready for change, and the very important role support plays in actually moving through it.</p><p>If you&#39;re still sitting on the promise you made yourself at the beginning of this year, this one&#39;s for you. And if something in this episode resonates, I want you to know that you don&#39;t have to do this alone. Drop me <a href="hello@sonjamckaiser.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">an email</a> and let’s chat! Or send me a DM on social media. You get to be supported as you embrace and embody the womxn you were born to be.</p><p><br></p><p>Sending so much love! </p><p><br></p><p>PS: come follow me on<a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVbz4KHiPPq/?igsh=MWdxeGRlOXlxZ3l3dQ==%E2%81%A0"><u>⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠</u></a>,<a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1GsiPJh3rc/%E2%81%A0"><u>⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠</u></a> and<a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/sonjamckaiser/p/so-here-i-am-experimenting-once-again?r=2lt2u1&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true"><u>⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠SUBSTACK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</u></a>!</p><p><br></p>

EP23: What are you waiting for? [S2E11]

<p>In this week&#39;s episode I really want to know how you&#39;re doing. Can you believe we’re 4 months into the year already!?</p><p>Remember that promise you made to yourself at the beginning of this year? Have you started acting on it or is it still living in your head? </p><p>This is not about wishing things could be different but actually changing things by taking action. And it doesn&#39;t have to be huge leaps, but rather small steps in the direction of your dreams and desires. It&#39;s about following through on the promises you&#39;ve made to yourself. </p><p>I also share the simple practice that&#39;s helped me stay consistent (even on the days I don&#39;t feel like it), and how you can start showing up for yourself in a way that actually sticks.</p><p>I don&#39;t want you to wait until the end of the year to realise nothing&#39;s changed. You&#39;re going to take one step today, coz if not now, then when?</p><p><br></p><p>Sending so much love! </p><p><br></p><p>PS: come follow me on<a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVbz4KHiPPq/?igsh=MWdxeGRlOXlxZ3l3dQ==%E2%81%A0"><u>⁠ ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠</u></a>,<a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1GsiPJh3rc/%E2%81%A0"><u>⁠ ⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠</u></a> and<a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/sonjamckaiser/p/so-here-i-am-experimenting-once-again?r=2lt2u1&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true"><u>⁠ ⁠⁠⁠SUBSTACK⁠⁠⁠⁠</u></a>!</p><p><br></p>
