Life - An Inside Job

Today you can listen in to a conversation I had recently with nature and cycle-inspired business coach, writer and podcast host Sophie Jane Hardy, about how to create a sustainable business by using the seasons of menstruality as a guide:

• What Sophie has learned returning  to work after maternity leave 
• How can we run our businesses without burning out  
• Planning for quiet periods, illness and our ‘winter times’
• Defining success on our own terms
• How can we manage the constant pressure to be ‘out there’ promoting ourselves
• How to stay true to our vision when the world doesn’t seem to support it

 And much more!

In this episode, you'll listen in to my conversation with author, academic and podcaster Dr Henriette Runte about her extraordinary life and work.

She says:
Navigating through midlife has not been easy, especially after cancer surgery and trying to balance a full-time job and 3 kids. My best coping mechanism has been writing, because it allows me to remember who I used to be and lets me explore all facets of the woman I am today.

I chat with author and trainer Petra Coveney about how we navigate postmenopause aka our Second Spring. Having both come through menopause as a relatively conscious process of personal growth, where has that brought us? How do we operate now? What kind of self-care do we use and how does it feel to be embarking on a new cycle of life? How can we embrace more life and vitality in a way that respects an ageing body?

This episode is the first one with two guests, Dr Claire Phipps and Caroline Phipps-Urch who have an excellent podcast: the menopause sisters.

Claire is a GP, trainer and mentor in London, with a special interest in menopause and reproductive health, Caroline is a trauma aware yoga teacher and also weaves cognitive behavioural therapy into her work.

We look at the inner world lying beneath the menopause experience and how trauma may trigger emotional and physical symptoms, and how we might address this.

You can find the menopause sisters on Facebook and Instagram where they are @themenopausesisters
Their podcast is on UK Health Radio, just search for The menopause Sisters

A dive between the pages of my new book Second Spring: the self-care guide to menopause where I am interviewed by my dear friend and colleague Leora Leboff.  In true Inside Job style, there are confessions, truths, poignant moments, tenderness, and at the end, I am moved to tears.

Inside Job is taking a break for a short while, but please tell me who I should interview next, nominate your mates, your teacher or yourself and/or what topics you think I should cover. I am all ears over on Instagram @kate_codrington

You will find the podcast on Spotify, iTunes and all major platforms, just search for 'Life - An Inside Job'.
