25.01.2022 The small shifts make the big shift The subtle, small shifts often go by unnoticed by clients who are so focussed on looking out for the big shift. Small shifts are more comfortable & sustainable as they allow your mind & body to process them more easily.... Your self development journey is a marathon, you want to take it slow & build your pace up as you progress towards making the big changes you set out to make, at the start of your journey. Celebrate all the small shifts & steps on your journey. These are so important. Enjoy every step of the way, rather than only focussing on the destination.

25.01.2022 Is your overthinking leaving your mind in a tangle? We often try and solve our problems in our head. As we know, not all problems are solved quickly & easily, which leads to overthinking and mulling things over & over . We then get so caught up in our thoughts, it’s like a tangled ball of wool, no beginning and no end ... Next time you find yourself, overthinking try this, write the worry on paper & analyse it. As yourself How am I feeling - describe feelings What has caused me to feel like this What evidence supports my beliefs Rate your feelings 1-10 How much of my daily mental worry budget do I allocate to this Will this really matter to me in 5 years What are the best & worst case scenarios likely to play out? What is the best way to move forward This is one of a few techniques I share with clients to manage overthinking. If you’re feeling trapped in thoughts of worry, fear or stress. Unable to unravel these feeling that build momentum inside your head Feeling stuck & see no way out Lacking perspective & clarity My Get Untangled one off coaching session is perfect for you. I will share other simple, yet effective techniques with you so that you can set yourself free to feel positive & productive. This session will leave you feeling calm, having clarity & a laser sharp focus to move ahead with positivity & clarity If you’re ready to Get Untangled, send me a DM to book your session.

25.01.2022 Dealing with Dementia My mom got dementia in & I witnessed the cruel disease rob her of an amazing mind, wit & sense of humour. Background to my special mom, she got polio in her mid 20’s, being among the last epidemic in South Africa before the vaccination.... Doctors said she would never walk unassisted again & would end up in a wheelchair. Being strong, determined & courageous, she didn’t let it define her future or impact her life. Dementia deemed my mother more disabled than polio did. She was still there as a person but lost the amazing personality & character. We couldn’t connect on the level we once did. In a way, I did mourn my mother as I knew her, before she passed away. She wasn’t able to be the same person. We saw hints of recognition while in conversation with her but then see confusion as her mind couldn’t comprehend or find words. It’s an awful illness. You want to help & change things, but, you can’t. It’s frustrating & requires patience. It’s heartbreaking to think my mother was trying to understand, but couldn’t. Such an important time in my life & involved huge decisions. I moved back to South Africa in 2015, put my Sydney life on hold, to be with my family & my mother. If anyone wants to reach out, please do, I know what you’re going through.

25.01.2022 Happy Saturday

23.01.2022 PASSION IS POWER Hot on the heels of yesterday’s post, I wanted to share some of my passions with you My family... Lewis Friends My coaching business Mental Health Kindness Fitness Ice-Cream Giant choc chip cookies Beach summer days Sunrise & sunsets Creativity Our passions are our special ingredients and once we add these to the recipe of our life, we feel energised, aligned & in our flow When we tap into these passions we’re feeding our heart & soul and we no longer seek fulfilment from other areas in our life that might not serve a passion source. Sure, we should be passionate about everything we do, but when we’re engaging with our passions, we don’t get disappointed when certain areas of our lives don’t fully fuel or passion. Find your passion. Re-engage with them & you’ll feel the alignment & flow effect in your life. You’ll feel content, excited & inspired once again. What are your passions?

20.01.2022 I AM A MOTIVATOR I’ve recently received feedback from several clients that I motivate them. What lovely feedback to receive.... I motivate people because I am passionate about what I do. This passion radiates energy that ignites excitement in my clients and gets them motivated to achieve their goals.

19.01.2022 ARE THE NEGATIVE STORIES YOU'RE TELLING YOURSELF AND LIMITING SELF BELIEFS HOLDING YOU BACK? I have been working with my client Simon intermittently for the past couple of years. He came to me with the goal to make some big changes in his life. Simon was stuck and couldn't get past the negative stories he was telling himself about his potential and his future. I worked with Simon to shift these limiting beliefs, discover his strengths, self-belief, self-esteem, strengths and ...potential. Simon started to see the possibilities that lay ahead and has now rewritten his own story to one of hope, positivity and success. As Simon says in his testimonial attached below, your truth is always there, we just need the support and guidance to find it and believe it. If you'd like to chat further about reaching your goals or making a change in your life, please do send me a DM and let's chat further.

18.01.2022 A beautiful testimonial from a long-standing client, recently impacted by Covid19: With Lauren's background in crisis support, it's no wonder she makes an exceptional life coach and a great source of support. Lauren has helped me through a number of difficult and testing times in my life with problems at work, personal, family and relationship issues. More recently, Lauren has helped me through the unexpected changes COVID-19 brought into my life. Notably, she was a great sup...port to me during my 2 wk hotel quarantine, which was a testing time for me for a number of different reasons. It was so valuable to have Lauren on call and coaching me through that time. I would have found it very difficult to manage the situation without her support. She provided me with on-going counselling and gave me tailored exercises to help me develop the skills I needed to overcome adversity. It's worth mentioning though, that not only has she been there to support me through the difficult times, but when things are going well too. She always makes sure I'm working on being my best self, reaching my goals and living a life aligned with my values. Lauren is easy to talk to, down to earth and has a great sense of humour. Best of all, she's got a heart bigger & brighter than all the pairs of her trendy glasses put together.

17.01.2022 Three years of running my own passion lead & purpose driven business This month marks my 3 year anniversary of running my own life coaching business, where I get to do what I love each & every day It was around this time after an entire career in advertising, I decided it was time for a change. I so desperately wanted a change, but I didn’t even know what else I wanted to do... After feeling helpless and lost, I made a bold decision, I invested in a life coach and with her support I: Connected to my values & passion Found my why - my reason to be Gained confidence & clarity These outcomes enabled me to confidently redefine & redesign my new life path. Are you feeling just like I did & want to make changes in your life? Guess what, you can do just that on my Rise & Shine signature life coaching program!

16.01.2022 Always grateful for the work I do & for my clients One of things I love most about what I do is, making a difference to someone’s life. There’s no better feeling than knowing I’ve helped someone feel better & shown them a way forward In this case, I have drawn on my crisis support counselling experience. It’s so important to be able to make a client feel safe & comfortable enough to share what they’re going through. It’s important to allow a client to feel heard, have ...their voice & validate their feelings We then moved into a more coaching style approach which has broadened my clients perspective to explore things in different ways Our journey continues & we’re both excited for what lies ahead Today is my last day of coaching for the year & finishing off with a message like this makes my heart happy Merry Christmas to you all. Keep safe, sanitised, happy & healthy.

15.01.2022 How are the stories you’re telling yourself serving you? The stories we tell ourselves, about ourselves impact how we see ourselves & the world around us. They impact our relationships, decision making, behaviour & overall how we live our lives.... The narrative is based on life experiences, culture, religion, perspective on the world & our interpretation of the facts as we see them. These stories aren’t necessarily the entire truth but they become our truth. These stories often don’t serve our best interests. It’s so important to be aware of these stories and understand how they are shaping our happiness, relationships & life progression. When you realise that your story no longer serves you, it’s time to detach yourself from this narrative & begin the process of thinking about & writing your new story. If you’re ready to rewrite your story so that your new narrative positively impacts your happiness, relationships & success, then send me a DM & let’s get started.

15.01.2022 A self audit is an overview & analysis of where you currently are in life & how your life is tracking in relation to your goals & overall happiness with your life path. I did mine over the weekend & it’s been a year since my last self audit. I took a look at my journey over the past year, the highs, the lows, the achievements & milestones reached.... I am really proud with the outcome. I want to make a few adjustments to my game plan to ensure my journey ahead is more soul aligned & I’m excited with what lies ahead. My wins: Engaged the services of a business coach Grown my business Revamped my website Launched my signature program Rise & Shine Sold & purchased a new property Stepped into my power Living more authentically Accredited Mental Health First Aid Instructor Made great new connections Hosted Instagram Lives Working on some exciting business projects Regular peer to peer coaching Try this simple yet effective exercise so that you too can be proud of acknowledge & be proud of what you’ve achieved & feel motivated to continue to progress towards your goals.

14.01.2022 I’m a huge fan of Russell Brand & he recently shared this thought on a social media post on intuition. A connection to who we truly are in our hearts is crucial. It brings clarity & alignment to who we truly are, what’s important to us & what we stand for. It’s that connection that gives you a solid foundation from which to operate from. From this place of connection & clarity, you can then confidently begin to redefine & redesign your life path ahead.... This thought resonated hugely for me as it’s the fundamental, initial step in my signature life coaching program, Rise & Shine In my Rise & Shine container, over a 6-week period, I offer you a supported & space space to go on amazing journey of connection & self discovery so that you can lead a life of contentment, joy & success. If you’re ready to make that connection & go on the journey with me, send me a DM & I can see if you’re a fit for Rise & Shine.

12.01.2022 Thank you to Leigh White for inspiring my post today. What a brilliant question! Are you staying true to your why, your path and your plan?... Has life happened and perhaps taken you off your track? This does happen and it's totally understandable. It's important to take note if you have strayed and then just realign yourself with your why and remind yourself of your promise to yourself. Always stay true, it's the safest, strongest and best place to be because you are aligned to your passion and your purpose. It's from this place that you tap into your superpowers and your unique, magical ingredients. It's crazy to think we're in the second half of 2020! Be honest with yourself when you think about whether or not you're keeping your promise to yourself.

11.01.2022 Today I wanted to introduce to my client Kayt Kayt came to me when she was feeling exhausted, frustrated & stressed. She wanted help to have enough confidence and self-belief in herself, to allow herself time in her day to do the things she really wanted to do for herself. Kayt & I worked together to allow her to regain her personal identity back as Kayt & not only as Kayt as a mum & wife. We did work around her values & passion & Kayt rediscovered her love & apprecia...tion of creativity once again Over the 6 week program, she really stepped into her power & found her voice. Kayt gave herself permission to prioritise the time she needed to pursue her creative hobbies Now Kayt is no longer stressed & ultimately happier within herself & is able to be a better version of herself in all her relationships If you’re ready to make shifts in your life so that you’re happier within yourself & within your relationships send me a DM & let’s explore what working together could be like. PS Enrolment is now open to my new signature life coaching program Rise & Shine.

10.01.2022 THERE'S NO BETTER TIME THAN NOW TO INVEST IN YOURSELF AND YOUR FUTURE A lovely testimonial received: Even now in these uncertain times, it's important to invest in yourself and your future. There is no better time than now, to grow yourself and make the changes you have always wanted.... I initially worked with Lauren two years ago. I needed to create a healthier lifestyle and was failing miserably working alone. Lauren was amazing! She helped me sift through all the excuses & bullshit stories I told myself to avoid ever taking action. Her style was firm but fair and always constructive. With Lauren’s help, I changed my life. I recently started working with Lauren again. Like so many other people, my work prospects have been impacted by the effects of COVID. Lauren helps me to get out from under the bed and tackle my situation in a direct, practical way. Each week, my confidence is returning and I am beginning to see an opportunity, instead of just a threat. Lauren has been the key. I cannot recommend her highly enough as a Life Coach. To anyone who wants to make changes in their life but is thinking now is not the time to spend money on myself you’re dead wrong. Now is exactly the right time to be investing in yourself. The truth is always there inside us and Lauren is the one who’ll help you find yours. Simon, Sydney.

10.01.2022 YOU MUST BE WILLING TO GIVE UP WHAT YOU ARE, TO BECOME WHAT YOU WANT TO BE - ORRIN WOODWARD Change is scary and overwhelming but as we know, if we don’t change, nothing will. It’s on the other side of this fear, that the shifts & the magic happens...

09.01.2022 CONFIDENCE, SELF-WORTH & SUCCESS I've just received a wonderful testimonial. When my client started her program, she was in an abusive relationship, with very low self-worth, self-belief and confidence. She was lost, hopeless and very fragile.... When a client is so fragile, it's always good to take things slowly, allow the client to find stillness, peace and get grounded to gain clarity and perspective. It's from this place that we can best respond and manage our current situation. I broke her journey down into small, achievable steps. By doing this, the journey was less overwhelming and scary. We worked on breaking down the self-limiting thoughts and behaviours that had arisen due to the abusive relationship. The tools and techniques built her confidence and self-worth and have given her the ability to see herself for the amazingly strong lady she is. My client is now empowered and has achieved the end goal she had, to successfully build her own business so as to have financial independence. To hear that she is now excited about what her future holds makes me so happy and proud. She is now living the happy, fulfilled and successful life that she deserves. If I can help you achieve happiness and success, please send me a DM and let's chat further.

09.01.2022 WHAT PARTS OF YOURSELF HAVE YOU ALMOST FORGOTTEN ABOUT? This is a beautiful message I got from my client currently working with me on my Rise & Shine program It’s these AHA moments & breakthroughs that make me so proud of my clients & fill my heart with joy for being able to do the work I do for my clients... In life we can get so caught up in our careers, bogged down by stress, battling challenges that come up, that we lose connection with our true self In all of this, we forget who we truly are, what truly matters & what we truly feel passionate about. My 6-week life coaching program Rise & Shine is the perfect remedy for this Over the 6 weeks, I will work with you to connect with your true self so that you are fully aligned with your values & passion. You will be living an authentic, aligned life. AT THE END OF THE 6 WEEKS YOU WILL: Have a crystal clear clarity on your life direction. A simple, easy to follow game plan to get you there.

DM to book a discovery call so that I can see if you’re a fit for the program.

09.01.2022 OVER-GIVING I am a giver and doer by nature but I recently found my own personal energy stores depleted. What I reminded myself was, it’s OK to say no and take time out for ourselves.... Replenishing our own energy is paramount. If our stores are empty, we can’t be of our best for ourselves and others. A couple of lovely tips I’ve been given along the way are, the first by Emma Wilclox, is to allocate a monetary daily budget to your energy and ensure you leave enough money for yourself. And Debbie Pask shared the gas tank analogy, if your tank is at empty, ensure you stop to fill it up again before you continue your journey. How do you manage your energy levels? Share your ideas below. If you need guidance on managing your energy and self-care, please DM me and we can chat further. Barking SFX courtesy of my dog Lewis

07.01.2022 Another great chat with Breakfast with The Murphy's team on Joy 94.9FM. We chatted about how we have all been impacted by the current situation and how to go about asking for help and how tough and overwhelming that can be. Have a listen.

07.01.2022 What’s the thing that’s causing you to feel stuck? If you’re facing a life challenge or want to make a change in your life, but finding yourself trapped by feelings of worry, overwhelm or fear, it’s very possibly why you’re feeling stuck. When we’re inside our own heads, feelings are impossible to unravel. Instead they build momentum and we lose perspective & sight of what may lie ahead. ... I can help you unravel these thoughts in my Get Untangled session. This is a one off coaching session during which I will work with you to process all the feelings so that you feel calm, have clarity, perspective & laser sharp focus to move ahead with positivity. If you’re ready to move forward, send me a DM to book your Get Untangled session.

07.01.2022 How’s your January going? Just dropping in to share some of the exciting projects on for me this month. I’d love to hear what exciting things are happening for you?... Drop me a comment below

06.01.2022 As a kid, what did you want to become when you grew up? I always wanted to be a teacher & would sit my friends down and teach them by pointing a long ruler at a small blackboard For me being a coach is similar to being a teacher as it’s about imparting learnings, experience & guiding change ... What’s most interesting for me is that when I was around 13 years old, my friend & I spent every Sunday volunteering at a live-in facility for people with various disabilities, The Selwyn Segal in Johannesburg. We played with the children who ranged from babies to 10 years old. I loved it & looked forward to visiting each week. I formed some incredible bonds with some of the children & their families. Wanting to help people & make a difference in their lives has & always will be something I am passionate about Working through childhood dreams & memories is something I spend time on with my clients as I believe when we’re looking at passions & purpose, it’s often buried in our childhood memories. I’d love to know what you all wanted to be as kids? I’d love to hear your stories in the comments below

06.01.2022 THE BEST TIME FOR NEW BEGINNINGS IS NOW Do you feel like you’re wanting to make changes for 2021 but you’re not quite sure of the what & the how I have just the solution for you!... My signature 6-week life coaching program Rise & Shine will give you a game plan, clarity & confidence so that you feel excited, deeply content & successful in your life again. Over a 6 week period, in 1:1 sessions, I will work with you to: Connect to your true self Align with your values & passion Redefine & redesign your life path Build confidence & clarity After working together on my Rise & Shine Program you’ll come away with: Crystal clear clarity on the direction you’d like your life path to go in. A simple easy to follow game plan to help you get there. Unlocked confidence to pursue your new path. Feeling deeply content & inspired once again. If you’re ready to commit to making these changes & live a confident, content & meaningful life in 2021, DM me to book a discovery call so I can see if you’re a fit for the program.

05.01.2022 Change can be damn hard! There’s no doubt about this, transition & change are hard & damn uncomfortable. Why is that?... Well, my thoughts are that you’re going from a known state to an unknown state. The unknown is always scary, we’ve not been on this path before. We’re not totally sure what to expect. This is overwhelming, uncomfortable & scary! Our old path, albeit a path we no longer want to be on & one we have outgrown, it’s what we know & it’s where we currently feel safe. Staying on an old, outdated path is merely surviving. What we really want to be doing is thriving. In order to do that, a big leap of faith is needed. I know how hard that is, I have been there! One foot on my old path and one foot on my new path. The result was stuck, out of flow & not progressing at all. It’s only when you truly & fully embrace & own the new life path you’ve chosen, that you can then transition smoothly & effectively. Think of it like this, when you don’t fully commit to something 100%, you don’t get the results. Why is it so hard? It’s hard because you’re learning new thoughts & behaviours to be fully present & successful on your new path. Unlearning old thoughts & behaviours take time, as does bedding in the new ones. My advice is, let that old path go & fully step onto your new path. Remember why you’re on this journey, own it, live it & love it. PS Rise & Shine is based on my transition journey & I share the steps I took to identify my new path & stay on track.

04.01.2022 MIND POLLUTION I recently had an idea I wanted to share with you. I’m noticing and marvelling at how nature is thriving at the moment.... Nature is thriving because it’s no longer being suffocated by pollution. So I flipped this idea and looked at what was polluting my mindset and habits. What popped up for me was putting my daily meditation practice back into place. I’m trying to connect with friends outside of video calls. I have also thought of ways to lessen the stresses around Zoom calls. My home exercise routine has had a revamp to get me motivated again. Finally I’ve changed my pre-bed routine to get a better night sleep. What are thoughts on this idea? Is there pollution you can shift from your mindset or daily habits? I’d love to know your thoughts, please share in the comments below.

04.01.2022 Over the past year I’ve been fortunate enough to collaborate with some amazing mental health advocates & people on their self development journeys. I’m so grateful for these collaborations as they have enabled me to learn so much, gain inspiration & form great friendships & connections along the way. And now for something different! I’m excited to be launching a new series of collaborations On The Flip Side. ... I’ll be connecting with healers, therapists & practitioners working across different modalities. I’ve chosen this series because we’re living in a time where there are so many forms of conservative & alternative treatments & therapies available, I’m keen to explore & learn as much as I can & present these findings to my network. As with any treatment, there’s not a one size fits all option, so it’s my aim to cover a broad range of services. If you’re a practitioner and interested in collaborating please send me a DM.

03.01.2022 FEAR Fear is something that can really hold us back, prevent progress and can often lead to anxiety. It’s always good to gauge the severity of our fear. Is the fear around life or death or financial security?... Or is fear around something that has grown out of proportion in our head. For me, fear can feel like a tangled ball of wool that just gets more and more tangled and I can’t even find the start or the the end of it. I was given an analogy by Debbie Pask that I absolutely love and that is, fear is a shadow, when we shine a light on a shadow it dissipates, falls apart and almost vanishes. So bring your fear out, talk about it, write it out, dissect it, pull it to pieces. You’ll soon see it’s something manageable. Once we have the fear out in the open, we give ourselves space, perspective and clarity to then work through it with grace and calm. How do you manage your fears? Has fear held you back? If you’d like to chat to me further about working through your fears, send me a DM and we can chat further.

03.01.2022 I have just refreshed my website and really excited to share it with you all. Recently I did an audit on my website and what was very clear to me was that when I started coaching around 2 years ago, the content of my website was very much about me, my story and my services, but there was only one image of me, Lauren Gordon, your potential coach. The thought of having more imagery of myself was daunting and I lacked the confidence to display more.... What I now know more than ever, is that coaching is all about the relationship between client and coach. It's about building trust, a relationship and engagement. Having had the past two years of building successful, solid and trusting relationships with my clients, I realise how important it is for potential clients to see me and feel that I can be their coach, someone they can trust to support them on their journey to happiness and success. I now have the confidence and self-belief to display several more. I am hugely proud of how much I and my coaching have evolved. Take a look and I would your feedback. If my services resonate with what you might be currently seeking in your life, feel to send me a DM and take advantage of my free consultation session to discuss my coaching program in more detail. http://www.laurengordoncoach.com.au/

03.01.2022 How good are you at mastering the balance in your life? We’re all balancing aspects of our life in one way or another. For me right now, it’s balancing my life coaching business with my newly acquired part-time job.... My passion & purpose lead business is growing steadily & in order to supplement my income, I wanted to find a part time job. A job that enabled me to still focus my passion & energy into my business & my clients. I want to continue to successfully build my business on the solid foundations I’ve laid. It’s important to know that once we discover what we’re passionate about, it’s not always a quick transition, strategic balancing may be required until a full transition is possible. I want to develop ways to do this successfully so that I can support & guide people who are doing the same. Mastering the balance is my mission. It’s hugely important to me to maintain that healthy & equal balance.

02.01.2022 On Friday evening I somehow lost the security tag to get onto my apartments. I obviously panicked! A neighbour let me in, but I couldn’t get in & out of the complex again.... Once in my apartment, I realised I needed to track down the spare until I could order a new one. My Dogwalker had my spare, but she would be needing for the week ahead so my dog could be walked while I am working in the office all week. At this point I was totally stressed, panicking & overthinking every worst case scenario. How would my dog get walked. How would I have the chance to order the new ones. How would I collect the tags. How ...., What if ..... blah blah What I realised I had do is calm down and get perspective. Look at the situation and work out what I could do realistically, without dramatising & jumping to every worst case conclusion. Did I work out a plan? Yes of course I did! Did it end up in any of the worst case scenarios, no it didn’t! I do practise what I teach and that is: Asses the situation calmly Put the situation in perspective Be clear about what your options are Work through options

02.01.2022 Dear 2020 Thanks for the lessons & the blessings You certainly were a bumpy roller coaster ride, but in saying that, it’s been an amazing year for me ... At the start of Covid, I lost a long job contract, at the time it filled me with fear & uncertainty. It also allowed me to dedicate my energy, time & passion to my then side hustle life coaching business. I am now running my own passion-driven business, where I am doing what I love and enjoying each and every day I worked with an amazing coach & developed & successfully launched my signature life coaching program, Rise & Shine, the first of many more exciting coaching opportunities. In November I got my Mental Health First Aid Instructors accreditation, something I have wanted to do for years. Teaching this content, raising awareness around mental health & normalising the conversation around it is a passion of mine and I can’t wait to roll this program out early next year. On a personal note, this year I have done a lot of inner work, truly stepped into my authentic power and feel in a fantastic flow, one which I intend to carry and develop in 2021. I have made some incredible new connections & deepened existing connections, all of which I’m hugely grateful for. Being around people that support me, challenge me & lift me up are the people I want to be around and collaborate with on my life journey Just before Covid hit, I sold my apartment, something I had been trying to do for a few months & a future planning goal I had set. The whole process was amazing, I couldn’t have asked for a smoother & more supported ride! To say the Universe had my back is an under statement & for that I’m so grateful. I’m settling in & loving my new home. It’s almost time to say goodbye 2020, you’ve been tough, you’ve been challenging and you’ve also had some exciting moments. I hope 2021 is a smoother, healthier happier and successful year for us all.
