Four years of CommsRebel!
#CuriousMoments with Advita It’s been four years since I officially launched CommsRebel, and jeez, what a journey it’s been. I had absolutely no idea if things would work out or not, but one thing I was 100% certain of was that I was going to give it my best shot. When the pandemic stopped the […]
Set your audacious goals
#CuriousMoments with Advita In January 2018, I wasn’t quite sure where I wanted to go in my career. I thought I’d spend my life working in-house. But life had other plans. After floating about for a while, waiting for inspiration to hit me, I decided to take control of my life in May 2018. I […]
Toxic bosses
#CuriousMoments with Advita I received a DM from someone bullied by a toxic boss. Not in an obvious way but subtle aggressions, which is causing them to second guess their value. It’s now at a stage where their mental and physical health is being poorly impacted. They are at a loss for what to do […]
Why January isn’t a fresh start for CommsRebel founder, Advita
#CuriousMoments with Advita A few years ago, I realised that January wasn’t a new start for me. I was often tired, never really felt refreshed, and the dark nights impacted my wellbeing.

Mainly to help anyone struggling a little, as recently, things have felt a bit heavy based on some of the things I’ve read on my timelines. Without giving away too much of the show, my most significant […]
Believe in yourself
#CuriousMoments with Advita In 2019 I went to an event hosted by my coach Chris Ducker. He asked everyone at the end of the day to write down a goal they wanted to achieve within a year. I completely forgot that I did this until I came across the note today. I’d shared that I wanted […]
Tips on managing overwhelm

We shared various tips and advice, but to summarise, here are our essential tips: 1) You have to know your values to understand what should be in your circle of concern.

Turn I’m sorry into thank you
#CuriousMoments with Advita As a recovering people pleaser, sorry was my default every time I felt I was being an inconvenience to someone. “I’m sorry to disturb you.” “I’m sorry I’m late.” “I’m sorry, I’ve been so busy.” “I’m sorry for taking up your time.” “I’m sorry to bother you.” “I’m sorry for missing that […]
Why has nobody told me this before?
#CuriousMoments with Advita Stop scrolling for two minutes and take a deep breath. How are you feeling today? From the chats I’m having, things seem to be feeling heavy right now. Budgets are being cut, change seems everywhere, resources are tight, and there appears to be conflict everywhere you turn. All this is contributing to […]
