About this listen

Running with Scissors is about taking beautiful, calculated risks. We’re here to have the real, raw, and sometimes ridiculous conversations about life, ambition, self-discovery, and the messy yet magical journey of figuring it all out. Our goal is to create a space where creatives feel seen, heard, and inspired—whether you’re chasing big dreams, navigating setbacks, or just trying to survive adulthood with your sanity intact. Through candid chats, personal stories, and insights from inspiring guests, we want to spark creativity, confidence, and a strong sense of community. We’re here to remind you that life isn’t about playing it safe—it’s about running with scissors, taking risks, and creating a life that excites you. Join every Tuesday for a new episode - we’re so excited for you to join us on this journey.Copyright 2025 All rights reserved. Economics Leadership Management & Leadership Self-Help Success

  • Why You Don't Trust Yourself Anymore
    Jan 19 2026

    At some point, many of us stop trusting ourselves, not because we’re incapable, but because life teaches us to doubt our own voice.

    In this episode, we unpack what self-trust really means, how it quietly erodes through comparison, failure, and people-pleasing, and the subtle signs you might be second-guessing yourself more than you realise.

    We talk about rebuilding self-trust through small, daily actions: keeping promises to yourself, making decisions without constant validation, and learning to reflect without shame.

    Because self-trust isn’t something you find, it’s something you build. The more you honour your own voice, the louder and clearer it becomes.

  • Discipline Isn’t Punishment
    Jan 12 2026

    Discipline isn’t punishment — it’s self-respect.

    In this episode, we challenge the idea that discipline has to be rigid, guilt-driven, or exhausting. We break down why motivation is unreliable, how extreme “hustle discipline” leads to burnout, and what healthy, sustainable discipline actually looks like.

    This is about building self-trust, showing up consistently in ways that fit your life, and creating routines that support you — not control you.

    Because real discipline isn’t about being strict. It’s about being devoted to the life you’re building.

  • Your mindset is the foundation (and everything else depends on it)
    Jan 5 2026

    Your mindset is the foundation everything else is built on — your habits, decisions, confidence, and ultimately, your version of success.

    In this episode, we unpack why external success without a healthy mindset eventually collapses, and how your thoughts and belief systems quietly shape the way you move through life.

    From the choices you make daily to the standards you set for yourself, your inner world determines how stable (or shaky) your foundation really is. We also talk about what to do when life feels unstable — how to recognise when your foundation needs work, and how to begin rebuilding from the inside out instead of constantly trying to fix surface-level problems.

    If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “all the right things” but still feel stuck, exhausted, or misaligned, this episode is for you.
