“Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes.” In the words of David Bowie, changes have pretty much been guaranteed ever since Insta dropped its 9 little squares on our screens.
But there were so many in 2021, it was like 🤯; just when we thought we had ourselves sorted with one feature, ✅ along came another to rock our world.
We have been kept on our toes with a few handy pointers from Insta’s big cheese Adam Mosseri @mosseri (go and check out his feed if you haven’t already). But, there’s really only one person we want to help us make sense of all that Insta has in store this year – our resident Insta Ninja, Sophie Bradley @sociallysophieb.
Fortunately, she’s on the Sparkle and Thrive Podcast this week with all the hot happenings on the platform in 2022, getting you up to speed on everything from Insta’s new Affiliate programme to the changes coming to the feed (it seems it’s time for a rewind, people! ⏪⏪⏪).
Check out the episode 🎧 Link in Bio 🎧, and then let us know what changes you’re most excited about in the comments. 👇🏻👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿
Loving my mug from @roarfootball22! It arrived perfectly in time for an intense weekend of girls football!
There comes a point in a football match, particularly when both teams are playing really well, that it turns into a mental game.
The first half of the match was 0-0. Then, with about 15 minutes to go, we were down 0-1. One of my top players looked at me despairingly from the pitch with less than 5 minutes to go and mouthed: “We can’t do it.”
I looked right back at her and said, “If you think you can, you can. If you think you can’t, you can’t. If you truly believe you can’t, I’m taking you off the pitch.”
She looked at me a bit shocked. And then it clicked, I was serious.
With 30 seconds to go, she had a shot.
She took it.
The shot went in. She flung herself to the ground and slid on her knees… just like the pros.
The whistle blew and the match ended 1-1.
My co-coach @mammawoo1980 and I were thrilled. It was such a perfect illustration of how our thoughts matter!!!
TechPixies is a proud sponsor of this wonderful team. Keep it up girls and stay focused. You CAN do it.

Fear. Oh, it’s a pesky little so-and-so, isn’t it?! Lurking around the corner waiting to pop out and say ‘BOO!’ 😱 when we least expect it; making our heart race that little bit faster when we’re psyching ourselves up for our BIG moment. 😰
Except… have you ever noticed just how similar fear feels to nervousness or excitement?
Choosing how you react to fear is something @techpixiejoy is discussing in this week’s episode of the Sparkle and Thrive podcast. And because this emotion plays a massive part in whether we take action on our dreams or not, you need a few tricks up your sleeve to deal with it.
🌈 So tune in for this final part in our special dreambuilding series to hear why fear and its best bud failure are far from something you should be worrying about (no scary monsters are waiting to jump out from under your bed here, promise!). In fact, these two f-words are actually prerequisites for achieving your biggest dreams.
🙌 Because the content of our life is our curriculum. 🙌

Today, I am doing a little experiment! I am cutting an apple in half, and putting each half into a glass jar. I’ve named one apple ‘good’ and one apple ‘bad’.
Everyday, I will speak to both apples (for at least 21 days). I will tell one apple it is lovely and one apple that I don’t like it. We will see what happens.
I am hoping it will be a very powerful demonstration of the effects of words of life vs words of death!
Great to see so many of you on the live! Loved rocking my new Scottish earrings from @kingstondoula and my new #highlandcow head wrap from @petrina.booth while sipping my @pukkaherbs which was a lovely present from @katconwaywrites!! I got spoiled this Christmas!!!
I also recommended 2 books… @jofairley’s book that she wrote with @craigsams called ‘Green and Black’ about how she band Craig built @greenandblacks (I sent a copy to everyone on my leadership team) AND of course, The Alchemist (by @paulocoelho). One of my annual favs which I sent to all of the team members at TechPixies. If you’ve read it and want to listen to a great follow up podcast, I recommend the @oprah interview with Paulo on her @supersoul podcast from 2017. Brilliant!!!
Have a fab Sunday!!!

I’m ready for 2022! Are you? Did you set a New Year’s resolution or some 2022 goals?
I am writing a book in 2022 and I asked our podcast listeners and students what they would most love for me to write about.
“Ask me anything,” I said.
Sooooo many great questions coming in.
For example…
Where would you like your business to be a year from now?
How can I shift from being a thinker to a doer?
How do I start journaling?
How do I pick a coach or a training programme?
How do you work Christianity into your life?
How do I live my dreams and boss social media?
What small steps can I take everyday towards what I would love?
How do you keep motivated when it gets boring?
How do you shift from employee to CEO mindset wise?
How to overcome self-doubt, procrastination, and imposter syndrome?
Do you have a question for me? Drop it into the comments ⬇️
