Making Bold Moves
Let’s tackle your Chimp! Managing self doubt when fear kicks in.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ever felt like your emotions are taking over? That voice in your head telling you you’re not ready, you’re not good enough, or what if you fail - that’s your inner Chimp talking.
In this episode of Making Bold Moves, I dive into The Chimp Paradox, a powerful mindset model by Dr Steve Peters that’s helped me manage anxiety and step outside my comfort zone.
Probably my most vulnerable ever episode, where I'll share my personal experience of doing my first online interview in 16 years (hello, nerves!) where my Chimp popped up and how I put it back in it's box.
You’ll also learn -

Making Bold Moves is a podcast for people who are capable, thoughtful, and quietly questioning how they’re showing up at work and in life.
I’m Liz Boswell. I work with leaders and professionals who don’t need more advice, but do need space to think clearly, especially when the pressure is on.
Each episode is a calm, mentoring-style conversation grounded in real client moments. We look at the stories people carry, the behaviours those stories create, and the small, practical shifts that change how things land day to day.
You’ll hear honest reflections, psychologically precise questions, and simple actions you can try immediately, without overhauling your life or becoming someone else.
If you’re stepping into more responsibility, more visibility, or simply feeling the weight of decisions that matter, this podcast is here to help you slow things down, think more clearly, and move forward in a way that feels grounded and real.
A quiet companion for people who want to make better moves, not louder ones.
