Ready to join me in person? My Manifestation Retreat is coming up, and I'd absolutely love to have you there. You can find all the details here. This episode is your reminder to stop waiting... and start saying YES. How many ideas have you talked yourself out of? How many times has fear convinced you that now isn't the right time, that you're not ready, or that you'll probably fail anyway? In this solo episode, we're diving into the difference between fear and intuition, how to tell them apart, and why learning to trust yourself could completely change the direction of your life. I share two very personal stories. One where fear became so loud it almost led me to make the wrong decision about creating a brand new card deck, and another where the Universe presented an exciting opportunity that required me to act quickly, trust myself and leap before overthinking took over. We'll chat about: ✨ How to recognise the difference between fear and intuition. ✨ Why we get stuck in "What if I'm wrong?", "What if I fail?" and "What if I get rejected?" ✨ Why opportunities don't always arrive slowly... sometimes they come fast, and it's up to us to say yes. ✨ Why failing isn't something to fear. ✨ Three things that disconnect us from our intuition. ✨ Three ways we unintentionally ignore our intuition in friendships and relationships. One of my favourite reminders from this episode: "Compassion for someone else should never require abandoning yourself." To finish, we add a little bit of magic, because that's how we like to do things at Pass Around the Smile hehehe. You'll choose between a shell, flower or dandelion and I'll pull an oracle message from my Positive Guidance Cards, giving you the chance to test your own intuition before revealing your message. I hope this episode leaves you feeling inspired, empowered and ready to trust yourself a little more... because the life you're dreaming of isn't waiting for you to feel fearless. It's waiting for you to begin.

Today I’m joined by Revie Jane ~ mum, founder, fitness coach and one of those people who somehow manages to be wildly motivating while also being completely real about the messy bits of life. Revie opens up about a part of her story that she hasn’t always found easy to share ~ growing up with an abusive father, a mother who was emotionally unavailable and later physically absent, and spending much of her teenage years in survival mode. She talks about feeling fundamentally unlovable, living with hypervigilance, and believing that the life she had been handed was simply the life she was destined to have. But then something started to shift. From being taken in by her friend’s family and experiencing a kind of love and safety she hadn’t known before, to discovering fitness and realising she could continually prove her own limiting beliefs wrong, Revie shares how she began to rewrite the story she had been telling herself. We talk about the belief that “I am not what has happened to me. I am who I choose to become,” and how that idea has shaped so much of the life she has created. We also get into: ✨ How Revie learned that she was lovable after spending years believing she wasn’t ✨ The people who showed her that love could be safe, consistent and unconditional ✨ How fitness became a way of rebuilding her self-confidence and changing the narrative in her head ✨ Why she believes we sometimes have to be a little “delusional” about what is possible for our lives ✨ Intuition, trusting your gut and knowing when an opportunity simply isn’t aligned ✨ The pressure of social media and why even confident, successful people still struggle with comparison and self-doubt ✨ The reality of building a successful business ~ and why bigger doesn’t always mean better ✨ How Revie learned that more money, more staff and a bigger business didn’t necessarily equal more happiness ✨ Why peace and contentment might be more important goals than constantly chasing the next thing ✨ Intrusive thoughts, anxiety and the importance of not letting your thoughts dictate your life ✨ The grounding techniques that help Revie when her mind gets loud This conversation is vulnerable, honest, funny and ultimately so full of hope. Because sometimes the life you’ve been given can make you believe that certain things simply aren’t meant for you. But your dream life doesn’t belong to someone else, it belongs to you. Content note: This episode includes discussion of childhood abuse, neglect, suicidal thoughts and intrusive thoughts.

Be the first to step inside https://passaroundthesmile.com/pages/subscribe Today's episode is such a special one! I'm joined by the incredible Grace Miller, who quite literally got paid as an actual job to fail. Grace was the Head of Failure and Experimentation at Steven Bartlett's Flight Story, and she joined the team back in 2022 when The Diary of a CEO had just 100,000 YouTube subscribers, riding the wave all the way to tens of millions and building an entire department around the idea that failing on purpose is actually the fastest way to grow.
