This podcast has been a wonderful journey so far and this is by no means the end! But with the “Rookie Roadmap” series I want to release, I feel like I need more time to produce something that’s of actual value. So once my Personal Training course is finished, I will be re-evaluating the best process moving forward :)

I’ll keep you in the loop on my socials (@psychphyt)! In the meantime, feel free to watch all my other episodes ;) Bye for now!

Want to start a business!? Let’s figure it out together!

I often relate entrepreneurship to taking the leap and building the plane on the way down! It’s unpredictable, it’s uncertain, it’s exciting, and it’s pretty nerve-racking at times!

Here are some techniques to get started - these techniques are mainly designed for those who don’t have a business yet, but maybe have some random ideas here and there. However, reflecting on these important questions is always a good idea, no matter how far you are into your journey. :)

I’ve attached the YouTube video by Ali Abdaal below that I speak about if you want to check it out! He is much more articulate than I am at explaining these concepts! But hopefully my episode explains them from a different perspective, along with other techniques I’ve learnt along my journey :)

I’m excited to enter this new journey with you! See you next week!

I talk about a few strategies that have helped me become more productive, eat better, get my creativity flowing, and reduce the likelihood of decision-fatigue. I also chat about what decision-fatigue is and the symptoms to look out for.

One item I did forget to mention was my Injinji toe socks! I absolutely love Injinji! They help prevent your toes from rubbing and getting blisters. Plus, they’re super fun patterns and colours :)

Enjoy! See you next week! Less than 10 days to go until my Marathon!

Enjoy! <3

What was once a 10/10 difficulty, is now only a 7/10 difficulty (running 21.1km). The more we put ourselves through uncomfortable situations, the stronger and more confident we become.

Enjoy my adorable, juvenile editing skills <3 My first time using iMovie!

I was very nervous to put myself out there and film this video, but this is the season for action - big, small, and imperfect!

I talk about my journey, about Psychology, about the fitness challenges I have coming up, and more! :) I hope you enjoy.

I run through a few techniques that I have used in the past to discover what my top values in life are.

So grab a pen and paper and have some fun discovering what your values are… and how these may be impacting your decision-making process. Or maybe you’ll find out what your true values are and discover that some important decisions you’ve made along your journey do not align with these values.

This is my final episode for this season. I’ll be taking 3 weeks off to recover from my wisdom teeth surgery and to realign my own values with my business and direction for this podcast.

Season 2 will be back on the 11th of July, 2024! Enjoy Season 1 until then :)

There’s so much more to dive into on this topic. So if you found this interesting, I encourage you to do your own deep dive into it. The brain is so fascinating! I didn’t realise how much dopamine played a role in my motivation to achieve my biggest dreams and desires… Or even just my motivation to unpack the dishwasher…

A couple of books about dopamine recommended by Dr Andrew Huberman:

“Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence” by Dr Anna Lembke (about the role of dopamine on addiction).

“The Molecule of More” by Daniel Z. Lieberman and Mike Long. which is moreso about general everyday behaviours rather than addiction.

There’s so much to learn about this idea and about how dopamine works within the brain and body. So this is just part one!

I encourage everyone to give this a go with a habit or behaviour you may struggle with… can’t eat a meal without scrolling social media? Can’t go on Facebook without buying another pair of jeans? Can’t go out to dinner without having a drink? A dopamine detox is about taking back control of these behaviours. There’s nothing wrong with having a drink with dinner… but when you can’t NOT have a drink with dinner is when the behaviours starts to control you.

***If you are suffering from something more serious, like a potential addiction or mental health issue, please seek professional help. If this podcast helps, amazing <3 But please don’t be disheartened if it doesn’t. This type of “detox” often only works on less severe cases (and sometimes not even then!). Find what works for you.***

This episode is all about my intro - like literally, the introduction jingle that I created for my podcast. I break it down (or have a breakdown, either one) and analyse what each component of my intro means in more detail.

I also touch on how to kickstart your health (both physical and mental) if you’re not feeling healthy and strong right now. We all get into a rut every now and then, but if that rut has lasted more than a few months… maybe even a few years… maybe decades? It’s time to turn it around - it’s never too late to start your unique journey to becoming a healthier and more fulfilled version of yourself. <3 Because on our deathbed, our health is the only thing we’re wishing for.

I chat about my fundraising challenge for JDRF and how challenging yourself and pushing yourself to do difficult things you don't want to do can actually be growing your brain. More specifically, the mid-anterior… *face-palm*… never mind - you’ll find out in the episode.

The more you do hard things, the easier they start to become. Challenging situations breed willpower and resilience. So start creating challenges for yourself to push yourself into uncomfortable situations and watch yourself grow stronger as a person (both mentally and physically).

Don’t forget to check out @psychphyt to follow my 8 days of 8 kays challenge for JDRF. <3

I have also been studying the value of communication skills. Communication is a skill we should all develop because once we’re confident in our abilities to communicate effectively, we become confident in most areas of life.

Communication = Confidence.

Ray continues to be a high performer in every aspect of his life and it comes across in how genuine, successful, and fulfilled he is as a human being. Ray’s vision in life is to push every day to be the best version of himself, so he can continue to give back to others in the best way he can.

Paying it forward can cost nothing, but can give so much. <3

The decision to “quit” wasn’t an easy one, but it has allowed me to focus more deeply on what matters most to me. Quitting is sometimes the bravest option; listen to your heart and make space for your dreams to grow.

Steven Bartlett spoke on stage in Brisbane last week and I had the privilege to be there. In this episode, I share some key takeaways that I gained about business and life, including tips on confidence building, how to feel motivated at work, why it is sometimes difficult to make a change in your life, and the importance of developing a set of rare and complementary skills.

I also dive into goal setting and my fascination with how the simple SMART goals acronym I learnt in primary school made an ongoing appearance in my Psychology degree. Maybe I should have paid attention in primary school…
