Today's guest is one of those rare individuals who has now appeared on Join Up Dots twice. Firstly back on episode 459 when we spoke about how she developed her business to be an expert on dealing with the complexities of raising children, and the anxieties and behavioural problems that we as parents may encounter with our adorable offspring. She got to that point as for 20 years she worked in a range of settings with families with complex needs who have lived through a range of trauma and as a respite foster carer herself had direct experience of living with traumatised children. She has now been running her own company training, speaking and writing about the impact of early years trauma children’s behaviour and development needs bringing much needed attention to these issues. But since then she seems to have pivoted and is now focusing more and more on helping people overcome the stresses of life. The anxieties that slowly creep us on us until it becomes a problem that can bring us to our knees Familiar limiting beliefs like... I don’t have enough time or the money to…, I sometimes feel like a fraud, The work could dry up at any moment, I need to work 24/7 to keep my head above water, The market just isn’t good at the moment, People might not want my product or service, Everyone else is doing better than me, I need to be realistic and not aim too high, I can’t REALLY charge that, can I?, I’m doing this for my family (the one I never see), I’m always stressed out and tired, People like me never…, I never get enough sleep I'm sure there isn't one of us who hasn't had a few of those every now and again in our lives. So what can we do about it? Are there quick fixes to get us mentally back on track? And now she is an expert, does she breeze through life like a twig on the mighty stream of life, stress free, and smiling all the way? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Jane Evans.
