  • S1 E4 The Joys of Midlife

    Jen talks about the small, unexpected joys of midlife, cancelled plans, the polite no, a good coffee, and the bigger one underneath them all: rediscovering who she is after divorce, beyond being a wife, mother and employee.

    Midlife can hold challenges and joy at the same time, and we don't have to wait until life is perfect to enjoy who we're becoming.

     

    Plans get cancelled and you're quietly thrilled. A quiet night, comfortable shoes and people who don't drain your energy become your idea of a good time. Day drinks finish at a respectable hour, and you can go to bed at eight o'clock.

     

    Then there's the bigger joy underneath all of them. I'm talking about that one today.

     

    If you've ever been secretly delighted when plans fell through, this episode is for you.

     

    Here's my question for you, and I'd love to read your answer: what's one thing you enjoy about your life now that your younger self wouldn't have understood? Pop it in the comments.

  • S1 E3 - Who Do I Talk Too?

    Walking through the door is the brave part, and a few small tools turn a first chat into a real connection.

    In this episode, I talk about standing at the edge of a room, why the first sentence is the hardest one, and the small things that help turn a first chat into a real connection.

    Your one small thing this week: At your next gathering, ask one person one question. Something like, “How do you know the host?” Then listen to the answer, and ask one more. That’s a conversation.

  • S1 E2 - The Photo With Room For One More
    Eight people on one couch, and you've just worked out you could have been the ninth.

     

    It's Sunday morning, you've got a cup of tea, and there's a photo. Jen talks about the little drop in the stomach that follows, why so many of us feel it, and the small thing that starts to shrink it.

     

    If you've ever zoomed in on a photo and quietly checked whether the couch could have fitted one more, this episode is for you.

     

    Your one small thing this week needs a pen and a few seconds of bravery.
