Truth Bomb Tuesday: Who decides what is sane? Over the years I’ve had to skill-up in the disciplines of self-development and mental health. At first this was an area that we tried to avoid.

T-Bomb: Two hacks for hitting your potential
Truth Bomb Tuesday: Dream a little bigger People always massively underestimate what they are capable of achieving. And that’s a shame because they under-shoot. They dream small.

T-Bomb: Using the Proteus effect to hack your life
Truth Bomb Tuesday: This is weird, but it works. I’m trying to stay on top with where we’re going with AI… and having to regularly stop and put my mind back together.

T-Bomb: Yes, everyone can be wrong
Truth Bomb Tuesday: There safety in the herd. There’s safety in wrong. “Not everyone can be wrong.” Yeah, nah. Everyone can be wrong. In fact, they often are.

T-Bomb: How to stop yourself caring too much

Truth Bomb Tuesday: You’ve got to get free of the old paradigm One of the girls got up from lunch the other day, “Gotta go. Time is money.” And I sat there. I thought, maybe I’ll have another coffee. It’s a nice day, maybe I’ll have a champers. The sun is out (finally!) I can’t […]
T-Bomb: Who really suffers when we dim our lights

T-Bomb: How to (safely) reach your potential
Truth Bomb Tuesday: There’s two ways to find the edge of your comfort zone. There’s two ways you can push yourself to be your most awesome version possible. The way I think about it, it’s a bit like having a shower. Imagine you are trying to find the perfect temperature – not too hot not […]
T-Bomb: Success is not in do-it-yourself
Truth Bomb Tuesday: I don’t want to be ‘resilient’ “I should be able to do it myself, shouldn’t I?” I feel like I hear this a lot. Especially as someone who coaches people into success through property investing, I hear it all the time. “Sure, Dymphna. You could coach me into property investing. But I […]
T-Bomb: Why people-pleasers struggle with wealth
Truth Bomb Tuesday: It’s a common tendency. Is it holding you back? There are a few glitches in the psyche that work as wealth repellents – belief systems that we inherited or picked up that undermine our efforts to build wealth for ourselves.
