I hear you

I have tried it all, and it is just not shifting.

The books, the courses, the talking it through, more than once. You understood it, and something still holds. Most work stops at thinking. This goes to the part of us that is holding on.

Some parts of us simply hold on, because holding on is how they have kept us safe. What they learned, they can update. It starts with finding what is holding you back.

After the mini course

It is time to stop feeling stuck, and finally be free to move forward.

Once the mini course has shown you what is holding you back, you can try a session for yourself. This is what people said after theirs.

“It’s actually transformative.” Full clip: I’m going to shout out my friend James, who runs a platform and coaching brand. It’s called Expansion Works, and it’s really to help creative people unblock the things that are holding them back. He’s booked and busy and doing absolutely brilliant things. And he’s a really lovely person. It’s not like traditional talking therapy. It’s, you know, go in, neutralise a moment or an issue that’s holding you back. And yeah, it’s actually transformative. Check out Expansion Works.

From nerves to a 30-minute keynote

Lydia's Instagram story from her keynote, the stage and her captions: While I've done lots of panels, this was my first 30 min keynote on building a sustainable brand and issues within the current fashion model. And as a slight worrier, this was really making me nervous. I talk pretty fast, often run out of breath and sometimes have no words in my brain. But it went sooo well!!! 3 things that really helped! 1. Lots of practice to know it all off by heart. From Lydia's newsletter: Expansion Works helped me move past some mental roadblocks in relation to my public speaking and confidence.

How it works

Three steps, in your own time.

  1. Start the complimentary mini course. No credit card needed, and it opens straight away.
  2. Understand your emotions. Five short lessons, to listen to or read.
  3. Find what is holding you back. The area of your life it sits in, and where you hold it.
Coaching, not therapy.

Coaching, not therapy, crisis support or medical treatment. If today feels too much, speak to your GP, or call Samaritans on 116 123, any time.

Anything raw, recent or overwhelming belongs in a 1:1 with James rather than on your own.
