Cathi Rae, poet, spoken word artist and model is hot, outspoken, sharp-suited, out there, often naked on Instagram and has a lot to say about how ageing women are viewed.

 In her professional life she has recently been funded by The British Research Council to work on a PhD on poetry and marginalised lives - proof that it's possible to start a new career at 60.

She is active in challenging ageism in the fashion industry and promotes body positivity/body normativity via her Instagram @cathirae showing images of her perfectly ordinary ageing body to make older women visible/attractive and vibrant.

She offers writing workshops/seminars on ageing and is very available for poetry/spoken word performance.

You can contact her @ [email protected]

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

If you enjoyed the episode yourself, then it would be fab if you shared it with a friend or with your community on social media. I'd love to hear what you make of your own ageing and how you manage it all on @kate_codrington over on Instagram

Known as mood swings and other things on Instagram, Charlotte describes herself as a 40-something mother of two, kind at heart and potty of mouth. She documents her experience of perimenopause day-by-day on IG with so much humour and such authenticity, I was delighted that she agreed to chat with me.

We talk wobbles, cracking up, self-help, HRT, being a role model, girls education and Miriam Stoppard and much more.

You can find Charlotte at @moodswings_and_otherthings

To call Elizabeth Joseph an 'influencer' is a bit reductive because she is way more than that as you'll hear in this conversation about perimenopause. She says:

My story is a story of transformation: a midlife revelation, revolution, reinvention. A woman who has gone from invisible housewife, plagued by perimenopause, to a social media menopause guinea pig. 

Who has tried out a range of natural products and approaches - from womb massage to fart pants through mouth taping, tapping and turmeric.

Who has a column in a local magazine. Who is writing a book. Who took part in an ad campaign for period pants at the grand old age of 49.
 
 My hope is that by speaking up about this potential shitstorm in our lives, with honesty and humour, no other women need ever stumble into perimenopause clueless, lost or alone.

You can find her on Instagram at @elizabethjosephnavigating and read her column in  Living North magazine.

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

A warm welcome to Life - An Inside Job's more professional little sister, Inside Therapist. It's a podcast providing candid water-cooler conversations between fellow therapists, teachers, coaches and facilitators. The kind of conversation that is candid, curious and might make you change the way you think about your work.

 A little ear-candy to inspire, provoke thought and spark new ideas while you're pottering about between clients.

 In this episode, I chat with hypnotherapist and writer Sophie Fletcher about how we manage the boundary between professional and private life as we market ourselves on social media. We ask:

 is it OK to commodify our private life as a marketing tool?

Sophie can be found at https://mindfulmenopause.co.uk/ and on Instagram at @mindful_menopause

Please pop over and tell us what you think about your dance with boundaries, privacy, social media and marketing over at @kate_codrington

You will find the podcast on Spotify, iTunes and all major platforms, just search for 'Life - An Inside Job'. If you enjoyed the episode yourself, I would so appreciate it if you shared it with a colleague thank you!

Norman Blair has been teaching yoga for 20 years and draws on many different threads and support.  This episode will be interesting for anyone who's signed up to a class or training, and that's most of us. At a time when world-class teachers are available on Zoom, there is a wealth of classes and trainings available but how can we choose? How do we know if the offering is any good, or even if the teacher is a safe person to be around?  Norman and I discuss the issues that are often unspoken when we are about to click 'buy now'. It’s a topic that we all encounter, how to choose a teacher, especially when they’re charismatic, wizzy and promise you personal and professional transformation.

 Norman has an excellent email newsletter which you can sign up to at yogawithnorman.co.uk

The article Norman refers to at the beginning can be found here https://www.katecodrington.co.uk/choosing-a-teacher/

Today we’re talking stuckness. Specifically feeling stuck in perimenopause. But feeling stuck, frozen, ignored, trapped, dead-ended, stiffed… whatever you call it, is something that we can all relate to.

 There’s a lot spoken about the overwhelm from being too busy in perimenopause, but almost none about how it is when it’s not busy enough. Except perhaps in our heads!

 Julia Davis is a yoga teacher, mentor and trainer, a specialist in women’s health, and the founder of Yoga Teachers Forum.

 Julia shares her experience of perimenopause, and of stuckness along with tips and remedies for getting unstuck.

You can find Julia at yogateachersforum.org  @yogateachersforum on Instagram

Classes are at finchleyyoga.com
