tools for your visibility bingo card 

Whenever a teacher said “and now we’re going to play a fun game!” Did you too instantly feel sick in the pit of your stomach thinking “I’m not fooled. This is probably not going to be fun”  I see you… trying to sell a product or service to your people and grow and audience and you’re also procrastinating […]

Dr Erin Bowe visibility coaching introverts

Recently I was chatting to Dr Renee White from the Science of Motherhood. Renee mentioned how she’s a visual person and sees core moments in life as coloured orbs – much like in the movie Inside Out. As I was listening to our podcast episode yesterday, I had my own ‘ooh that’s a core memory […]

Dr Erin Bowe perinatal business coaching

Who doesn’t love to have a sticky beak into what other people struggle with in business? One of my favourite things about coaching women through setting up a new perinatal business is that we can quickly catch sabotaging. When you’re on your own, you often miss or ignore all the little sneaky things that you’ll […]

I guess if you want a short answer, then the word I’d use is ‘paro’. I’ve discussed this helpful word before. It refers to the feeling we all get that somehow whatever choices we make will be wrong.

Dr Erin Bowe November books

Whenever I share what I’ve been reading and recommending, it’s always well received. For me, how I’m going with reading tends to align with how I’m feeling and where my energy is in general. Maybe you notice the same thing? I’ve said it before, but reading is hard work. It’s often romanticized as a passive or ‘easy’ […]

Dr Erin Bowe psychologist

A reflection this week. It’s nothing new and shiny but I read it in a book about money mindset of all things. It’s from a poem by Marianne Williamson. Nelson Mandela quoted it in his 1994 spech. I’ve trimmed it a bit here: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear […]

Dr Erin bowe visibility for introverts

I wanted to begin this week sharing a brief piece of research that’s been burrowing into my brain ever since I read it –Between the ages of 8 and 14, girls’ confidence levels plummet by 30 percent. They become hesitant to try new things, and insist they aren’t ‘good’ at something if they don’t immediately excel at […]

A short one this week. Just to share a word of encouragement for anyone who has self-doubt creeping in If I could go back in time – to my early training as a Psychologist, as a mother and even 5 years ago as a shiny new entrepreneur, a word I wish I’d said more often […]

Something very human and relatable is the feeling that whatever choice you make, it will somehow be wrong. Case in point for me this week – yogurt gate. As always, if you prefer to listen, I’ve shared this week’s download on the mum as you are podcast.  First I decided I was probably a ‘bad’ mum for re-introducing […]
