194 - All Out Messy Action
Ever felt the prickling heat of fear when stepping out of your comfort zone? That's the crucible of growth I've faced while launching into the world of social media for my online business—something I'm eager to share with you. Wrestling with the silence of 'tumbleweeds' on new accounts and the internal battle of posting consistently, I've come to realise the strength in vulnerability and the power of messy action. From the home office, where parenting and business tasks collide, I recount the sometimes chaotic, always authentic journey of building a presence online and the courage it takes to learn in the public eye.Navigating through the thicket of doubts and fears is no small feat, especially when the path involves baring your soul and work to an online audience. The push to make public commitments as a form of accountability has been a game-changer for me, spurring action over stagnation. It's a dance of discipline and resolve, where I've learned that each step taken is a ripple that can inspire others. And through the trials of illness or the unpredictability of family life, I continue to honour my promise of consistency—a testament to the resilience we all possess.In the spirit of continuous improvement, I delve into my 'path to freedom reflection strategy' and how it anchors my weeks—setting intentions, reflecting on progress, and adapting where necessary. It's about fine-tuning life's practices, be it communication, exercise or mindset, in a cycle of reflection and enhancement. My hope is that by sharing this journey, you'll be inspired to take your own imperfect steps towards success and happiness. Join me on this real-life adventure where we embrace the beautiful mess of growth, both personal and professional.

190 - Embracing the Slight Edge: Leading by Example and the Impact of Consistent Actions
Just when you think you've got everything under control, life throws a curveball—like having to re-record an entire podcast episode thanks to a technical glitch. But it's in these moments of frustration where the true test of perseverance shines through. I, Rebecca Sonuga, host of Starts With Heart, encountered just such a moment, and it became the perfect catalyst to discuss the importance of sticking to our core actions even as leaders in our fields. My recent heart-to-heart with a fellow travel business leader revealed that both of us had strayed from the very practices that got us here. It’s a candid reminder that to inspire our teams, we must recommit to the basics—more live sessions, daily social media engagement—and lead by example.The power of simple, consistent actions can't be overstated. Our conversation today circles around the transformative nature of the 'Slight Edge' philosophy: how even the smallest steps forward can prevent backsliding into old habits. The development and maintenance of a morning routine exemplify how foundational habits can exponentially build towards significant achievements. By returning to these basics, I've personally witnessed a resurgence in productivity and a boost in team morale, proving that sometimes the simplest changes have the most profound effects.In every challenge lies an opportunity to rewrite your story, and that's precisely what we explore in this episode. I share the compelling journeys of individuals who embraced their circumstances, no matter how daunting, and marched towards their long-term vision with unwavering commitment. Their stories are a testament to the idea that success isn't about immediate gratification but about consistent effort and unshakeable resolve. So, as we wrap up, I invite you to reflect on your commitment to your ambitions and consider the weight of personal accountability in shaping your path to victory. Let's face those challenges head-on and hold ourselves to the promise of our own potential.
