S9 E6 Imposter Syndrome.
This episode takes a look at that nasty phenomenon that eats away at our confidence creating self-doubt.
I use myself as an example with something that happened in my career.
***In no way am I a medical professional nor do I claim to be. I simply cover mental health related topics that interest me or experienced. If you require medical advice or expertise, please seek out a medical professional***

Monday Jul 31, 2023
S9E5: Thinking Creatively Through Photos looks at how images can help you convey your book/self/business/etc message on social media.

S9E4 A Deep Dive
Monday Jul 24, 2023
Monday Jul 24, 2023
S9E4 A Deep Dive enters the world of self-refection for the aim of working things out.
You know how sometimes we need to fulfil a task but our brain tells us, 'nope, not gonna happen'? I believe it uses the cover of procrastination but there's something from the past stopping us that is truly the issue.
Past stuff that hasn't been dealt with, or dealt with completely, can put a stopper on moving forwards professionally and personally. In this epi, I uncover so uncomfy truths about myself through self-analysis and suggest ways for you to do the same with the intention of clearing out our minds and getting the original task done.
*** I AM NOT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL*** I am simply trying techniques that work for me.

Season 9 Episode 1 DISSECTING A NOVEL
Monday Jul 03, 2023
Monday Jul 03, 2023
Firstly, thank you so much for being patient and waiting for Season 9. As you'll hear in the episode, the delay was due to getting a traditional publishing contract that had a deadline attached.
Since then, all my focus has been on that book.
Today's episode looks at the dissection of DREAM STATE, my novel published in Dec 2022. At the start of the episode, you'll hear a tiny bonus of giggles - unusual from TVW, but hope it makes you smile too.
Sites mentioned in this episode are:
Dream State eBook : Banham, S J,: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store
