Lady Time

Buff has had an interesting journey in life from living and travelling in a wagon during her 20s to settling in the West of Ireland where she now practices as a homeopath and is involved in a number of community projects. When going through the menopause she formed a women's circle that helped her greatly during this phase of her life and is something she continues to this day. Her women's circle is something many of us could be doing with in our lives ... tune in to hear all about it! 

If you'd like to contact Buff regarding her homeopathy practice or her community work where she lives in the West of Ireland - you can contact her on:-

The words I use to describe Áine in this Interview are Brave-heart, nothing to do with the movie but to do with this woman who has a very big heart and is incredibly brave.  We talk about midlife, her life, her travels, her projects such as "sober sessions", working with men in the Direct Provision system here and with children living in difficult circumstances in Vietnam.  Áine currently works on a community magazine www.changingireland.ie You can also find Áine on twitter @ainerynne and on facebook. Please forgive me with the poor sound quality on this show.. lots of noisy feedback when I speak.. thanks, with love to you all xx

Ayoma discusses her thoughts & feelings as she approaches peri-menopause. Looking back at her early life experiences she shares how she navigated difficult life circumstances & stressful situations, including bullying at work to where she is now ... turning the corner into a much calmer mindset at midlife.

Aprile Blake is a medical anthropologist, a writer and a healer.  In comparison to her health issues in her life to date peri-menopause was a pretty non eventful transition.  Aprile developed a brain tumor on her pituitary gland in her early 20's and this meant living with a condition called acromegaly.  Aprile describes her healing journey where she spent time living in Peru with  amazonian women and also to Africa where she felt like she was coming home.  Aprile is very inspirational,  she endured very difficult challenges here because of how she looked  and she managed to turn her attitude around and live in a more harmonious way with herself.  Aprile has a very compassionate view towards the illness she has lived with, life and more.   Aprile's website is www.dawnoverwater.net

We listen to Elaine as she weaves together wonderful threads of midlife, growing older & a deep connection to what one could call a more uplifting view of death! 

In her early 30s Dalila's doctor told her she should have a hysterectomy. She tell's us how she navigated that very difficult journey with its surprising outcome.

If you happen to live in Galway City in the West of Ireland and you'd like your clothes or duvets to be lovingly washed, ironed & folded - drop down to Salthill Laundrette where Dalila runs a lovely little laundrette with her husband :-)

Dealing with a painful back injury and divorce were the catalysts for Ivana's life changes at midlife, all of which led her to an amazing career helping others heal their physical & postural issues by creating her own innovative method of working with the body.  Age truly is a number to Ivana, now in her 60s,  she is an inspiration to anyone who fears growing older.
