In today’s episode I speak with Lynda Stretton (CNM Dip, MMedSci, mANP), Nutritional Therapist specialising in women's health and fertility, and creator of Fast-Track Your Fertility, a 12-week mind body soul program helping women get to the root of their fertility challenges, supporting conception and the maintenance of a healthy pregnancy. Lynda and I discuss the impact of stress on your adrenals, hormones and reproductive system. We touch on living a life of hustle and unhealthy extremes, the various causes of stress you haven’t even considered and the many manifestations stress can take in our bodies. Lynda shares with us her experience, her knowledge, and her top tips on reducing the stress load, so that we can create a safe environment for our bodies to thrive and restore hormonal balance.

One full week into Lockdown 2.0 in the UK, I share my ‘big five’ strategies for staying strong, healthy and – most importantly – sane through the weeks and months ahead. Much as we like to think we've done it once already, this round of restrictions brings its own unique set of challenges that we haven't yet experienced. It is therefore important we proceed with caution and awareness, and do the best we can to look after our mental and physical health and wellbeing. Tune in as I share my top arsenal of tools I turn to in any challenging, stressful or emotionally charged period.

I’m joined by fellow coach Fiona Moss, who specialises in supporting unfulfilled Millennial women in escaping their conventional jobs and achieving more in purpose-led fulfilling careers. We dive into the rather big theme of feeling unfulfilled at work and explore why so many of us struggle with this tension, and how to know when it’s time to go back to the drawing board. We also touch on some of the big questions one must ask themselves when exploring their options, and talk all about overcoming fear and how it’s never too late to take action.

In today's episode I explore one of the most common themes haunting my clients – the fear of speaking up about their needs and limits in the workplace. Too often we brush our needs under the carpet and literally sacrifice ourselves in the name of hustle, quietly hoping that things will just ‘work themselves out’. But if we never taken action and we never speak up, we can’t expect our results to change.

In this podcast I speak with my good friend and ex stockbroking colleague Jez McKeown as we look back on our experiences of the high hustle world of banking. In this episode we discuss the challenges of operating in high pressure and highly competitive environments, the unintended consequences of an all-for-work mentality and the power of life humbling moments. We also touch on some of the finer nuances of navigating the corporate world and why looking after the fundamentals of health and wellbeing are key to keeping you in the game.
