Unleashed With Jess Ratcliffe

In this episode, it's my intention to help you... Catch your inner critic in action by recognising how, when and why they show up for you. Bring the idea of the inner critic to life by sharing a story of how my inner critic, "Evil Jess", showed up for me this week. Listen to your inner wisdom – over your inner critic – by guiding you through a short and simple exercise that you can test while listening and take away with you. I'll be on Instagram stories this coming week to share more ideas for how you can listen to your inner wisdom over your inner critic. See you there! @jessratcliffe. In this episode, I mention the book Playing Big by Tara Mohr – I highly recommend it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jessratcliffe/message

What are the self-fulfilling prophecies that are running your world?  Where do you notice yourself thinking or saying “I’m not…” statements that aren’t serving you? Maybe it’s “I’m not a public speaker” or “I’m not a manager” or “I’m just not good at _____” In this episode... We're digging deeper into self-fulfilling prophecies and how the stories we tell ourselves influence what we believe, feel, think and do. You'll hear about a self-fulfilling prophecy that’s been with me since I was 7 years old. And we look at how life could be different if we were free of the self-fulfilling stories that are limiting us.

I've been thinking a lot about joy and how, in the pursuit of becoming who we want to be, we can steal our own.  We beat ourselves up for not being further ahead. We focus on what we're lacking – on the gap – rather than what we've achieved. We let our negative inner voice rule the roost, sending us into a spiral of self-doubt, overthinking and playing small. Doesn't it feel like personal development is hard enough?  So why do we make it harder by tearing ourselves down vs. cheering ourselves on? In this episode, we explore how you can unleash your joy and bring a sense of lightness and fun to our personal development, as we grow together week by week, episode by episode. And I invite you into a challenge this week – listen to the end for all the details. . . . Join the next one-hour catalyst coaching call ...on Thursday 12th September at 6.30pm GMT.

When we're unclear on where we're "going", it can feel like we're aimlessly floating through life – like we're moving in circles rather than moving forwards.  On the other hand, when we feel clear on where we're going, we wake up each day feeling excited, inspired and energised to move towards that vision. In this episode, I'm here to help you move from feeling like you're floating through life to feeling clear and focused on where you're going.  Did you enjoy this episode?

You know that feeling when a "negative person" walks in the room and we move from feeling free to feeling frozen – unsure how to be or what to say? When there’s an individual who feels like a negative presence in our lives, it can cause us to shrink, hold back and stay quiet. To feel like we can only be a slither of our full selves – and we know that limits our confidence, creativity and growth because we're only being the "safe" part of who we are (in those contexts). So in this episode, we dive into… Why we can be so impacted by negative people – and what their negativity really means. How to identify whether you’re experiencing a negative person in your life…and if you’re a negative person in others’ lives. What we can do to change our approach from both perspectives. I hope this episode sparks a deeper level of awareness and the actions to start changing how you deal with negative people - from today on. I would love to hear one insight that you're taking away from this episode. You can reach me at

My hope is that this episode creates the experience – or a taste – of being in one of my coaching workshops. We dive into… The life-changing experience that inspired me to start building the person I want to be and help as many people as I can fulfill their potential.  The Unleash Your Extraordinary framework – the 3 steps and how it can help us build the people we dream of being.  And I’ll coach you through the 3 steps of the framework to help you identify and start iterating towards one change you dream of making.

How do we achieve something that feels bigger than anything we’ve achieved so far? What’s the key to creating the outcomes, impact and success we dream of creating? Those are the questions we’re exploring today. In this episode, it’s my intention to spark a new and playful way of approaching your goals. So this episode is for you if… You – or your team – have a BIG goal and it feels like your current approach isn’t “working” or – perhaps, more importantly – you aren’t enjoying it.

You’re excited to experience a new way of approaching your goals – one that sparks a new perspective AND that you can put into practice today.
