Mission Imperfect: navigating life with coaches Kirsty and Kathryn

We are very much not fans of Christmas displays in the shops in October - especially Kirsty, who is definitely at the Grinch end of the Bah Humbug spectrum.

So why are we talking about so stupidly early? Because we’ve come to recognise that doing so can really help reduce the stress of it - and who doesn’t want that?!

To find out more, why not grab a cuppa and a biscuit or six and join us? We’d love to have you!

We are back this week with some tips on how to manage guilt – especially the tricky kind which we discussed in last week’s episode. 
Experiencing feelings of guilt may be an inevitable consequence of being human and perhaps putting our needs first sometimes (nothing wrong with that!).
So whilst guilt may not vanish, we can definitely question how valid it is, and is it possible to mitigate or reduce our guilt without a greater impact on us.
If it isn’t possible, then maybe we accept the consequence as unfortunate rather than intended, and allow the guilt to pass (perhaps a little quicker than we used to!).

Ah, guilt! That wonderfully complicated emotion (perhaps unique to humans?).
Certainly we seem to have many opportunities to experience feelings of guilt – but what we are interested in for this week’s episode is how warranted that guilt is and have we even done something ‘wrong’ in the first place? 
Of course these things are subjective, making guilt an even trickier emotion than it already is. Tune in for our thoughts on ‘tricky’ guilt, how it is a signal – usually of friction, and its close relationship with responsibility and control. 
Today’s question for the next time you feel guilty about something - 
‘Is your guilt pointing to something you've done wrong, or something you've simply found difficult?’

When we were doing all the scheduling admin for our episodes on feeling that you should be able to cope, and how to admit to yourself that you’re not actually coping, we realised that we were missing a really important step: how to ask for help.
So, here’s an episode all about asking for help! These tips, tools and techniques may seem obvious when you’re in a good place, but when we’re struggling, the obvious becomes rather less obvious, doesn’t it?
Why not grab a cuppa and a biscuit or six and join us? If now’s not the right time to hear it, then maybe save the link for the next time you’re struggling and finding it hard to ask for help🫖🍪

Last week, we talked about a whole raft of things that cause us to believe that we should be able to cope when we’re really not.
So, in this week’s episode we’re offering tips, tools and techniques to help you challenge whatever it is that’s stopping you from admitting that you’re not coping.
