The Art of Value Whispering podcast

Welcome to the Art of Value Whispering podcast  


Lately, I’ve noticed a pattern. Not just in my clients and community, but in myself too. 

It’s that creeping sense of overwhelm or loss of focus that shows up when you're trying to wrap things up, especially during seasonal transitions. Or when you're coming back from a break. Or when you’ve had ‘one of those days’ where nothing quite seems to work as you’d like. 

In those moments, it’s common to feel a bit off and you’re struggling to focus and regain your sense of flow. If you can relate, this episode is for you!

A few years ago I created the idea of an SOS Plan to help me and my clients in just these moments. It has since become an essential tool for me and for the women I work with, helping us to quickly get back on track, feeling good and enjoying focus and flow. 

An SOS Plan is a simple but powerful personal reset kit - something you can reach for when life throws you off balance, your energy is low, or your motivation feels stuck in first gear.

I know that for us introverts, the overwhelm doesn’t always show up loud and messy. Sometimes it’s just fog in the background. A heaviness. A moment of self-doubt that spirals. That’s exactly why having a personal go-to plan - something that takes the guesswork out of “What now?” - can be a game-changer.

In this episode, I walk you through how to create your own SOS plan, so you have a ready-made toolkit for getting back into flow, recharging your mindset, and reclaiming your energy when it matters most.

Listen now to learn how to get back on track without guilt, pressure, or overwhelm.

“You don’t need motivation to start, you just need your next small step.” - Melitta Campbell


In this Week's Episode...

You will discover:

  • How to create a personal SOS plan that quickly brings you back to focus and flow (when life gets messy)

  • Essential items to include in your SOS plan

  • The power of using music, quotes, and rituals to shift your energy instantly

  • Why introverts especially benefit from having a reset system

  • The simple mindset tools that actually work
  • How to build resilience without pushing harder, but by leaning into self-leadership

SOS Plan Ideas:

Here are some ideas of things you might like to include in your personal SOS Plan:

  1. A favourite song that gets you dancing

    My favourites are Alive and Amplified, Katchi and Makin’ Excuses

  2. A quote that inspires, grounds or uplifts you

  3. A simple feel-good ritual

  4. A centering practice

  5. A way to quickly reassess or reprioritise

  6. A grounding mantra or affirmation

  7. A recorded voice memo or journal entry from a stronger moment

  8. A comforting photo or visual cue

  9. A ‘low-effort, high-comfort’ action list

  10. A check-in buddy
  11. A micro-goal checklist
