041 Saying No & Choosing Yourself with Simi Botic
Hello lovely Couragemakers!
This week I’m speaking with the wonderful Simi Botic. Simi is a corporate attorney-turned-health-coach and she helps women nourish and nurture their bodies and lives, so they can live FULLY. Simi is obsessed with coffee, beach vacations, and the 90s and is passionate about helping women get un-stuck!
In this episode, Simi shares her journey, from being a corporate attorney believing she was made to be a box ticker, to finding work that lights her up and brings to much joy to her life. I loved getting to know more about the work Simi does, and chatting about how to give yourself validation and appreciation if you work for yourself.
In today’s show, we really dive deep into choosing yourself and giving yourself permission to explore the things that make you happy. We have so many great conversations about saying no, being brave and reevaluating where you’re at and following the things that you think might make you happy even if you have no idea where they’ll lead.
We also explore importance of boredom, the glorification of busyness and how giving ourselves space to get to know ourselves is one of the most important things we can do.
This episode is such a powerful reminder that we have so much to offer the world in terms of our ideas, our passions and our insights and our lives would change so much if we started saying yes to ourselves.
This is a fantastic, practical episode and Simi has so much great advice for anyone struggling with how to say now and people who struggle with being a people pleaser.
I loved chatting to Simi and our conversation put a massive smile on my face. Simi is so honest and her story is so relatable and I know you’re going to get a lot from today’s episode.
Enjoy the show!
