Kelly teaches emotional mastery and embodiment so that women can generate safety within and stop demanding it through control-based tactics.

Her new book, The Reclaimed Woman is out now.

Angela is joined by fitness expert Adam Richardson to discuss his unique approach to health and well-being, which contrasts with the common pursuit of optimisation.

Adam shares his personal journey from a background in sports to becoming a personal trainer, emphasising the importance of movement and the idea of "mobility snacks"—small, manageable bursts of activity throughout the day, as well as how to lay the foundations for building a body that will carry you through life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Foundations of Mobility: Focus on hip and spine mobility for overall body health, as these areas are central to movement and stability.
• Realistic Health Goals: Adam emphasises aiming for “good enough” health rather than striving for perfection, which can feel overwhelming or impractical.
• Building Habits with Small Steps: Use habit-stacking techniques to add simple exercises, like neck circles or squats, into your daily routine.
• Embrace Movement Variety: Moving regularly throughout the day, rather than staying still for long periods, can prevent stiffness and promote joint health.

Angela is joined again by Kate Muir, to discuss the complexities of midlife, focusing on hormones, brain health, and mental well-being. They discuss the misconceptions surrounding hormone therapy, emphasising the benefits of bioidentical hormones compared to synthetic options, and highlight the significant risks associated with obesity and alcohol consumption. Kate and Angela also touch on the importance of lifestyle changes, such as exercise and nutrition, in managing menopause symptoms.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
