My friends, thank you for tuning in...

In today's episode, I talk about the Art of Motivational Listening and how it can help you to be encouraging and supportive to your partner, children, friends, colleagues or anyone for that matter. And once you've developed those skills using the framework I talk about, you can actually apply it to yourself, when you're on your own, and don't have anyone to lean on. And as an emotional eater, this is a brilliant tool you can use to help you talk yourself through an unwanted thought or story that is giving you the urge to eat without any control. This episode demonstrates how to apply active or motivational listening skills by providing that support or encouragement to others in a real-life scenario, whilst also showing the connection to how you can use this as a tool to manage your emotional eating as it incorporates self-awareness and mindfulness, empathy and understanding, patience and focus.

So, without further ado, let's do this...

In today's episode, I talk about emotional eating triggers and how there's a misconception around how it happens and I want to uncover what's really happening and what it looks like. They're not isolated events but a series of events that lead to a tipping point. It takes doing a lot of work on yourself by going back to childhood memories and scenarios that you think you've forgotten. But by confronting them, it helps you understand the root causes of your behaviours and emotions so you can acknowledge and work through them to reduce all that internal conflict that's happening, improve your emotional health, and enhance your relationships.

In today's episode, I talk to Belinda, an Australian born in New Zealand, is a true testament to the spirit of adventure, channeling her energy into conquering trails across the globe. A beckon of inspiration for women over 50, her blog encourages the joy of hiking as a celebration of the golden years. Belinda's transformation from a sedentary lifestyle began with a simple pair of hiking boots and has evolved into a journey of unforgettable treks and wild camping, despite a quirky fear of possums and birds. Hopeful, daring, and deeply connected to nature, Belinda's story is not just about fitness or travel.

In today's episode, I talk about self-image and how we show up as related to our physical appearance which is shaped by our perceptions, beliefs, and attitudes towards ageing, body confidence, and personal expression. Embracing self-acceptance, nurturing a positive body image, and celebrating individuality is what is going to help us with developing a healthy and empowering self-image during this transformative stage of life called midlife. By prioritising self-care, self-expression, and authenticity, women in midlife can cultivate a positive self-image that reflects their inner strength, beauty, and resilience. Self-image is a fundamental aspect of our psychological and emotional wellbeing, influencing how we perceive ourselves, interact with others, and navigate life's challenges. It empowers us to pursue our goals with confidence, resilience, and a sense of purpose. And this is what I want for you.

In today's episode, I talk about the four daily routines we can't afford to ignore in midlife. Implementing daily routines is crucial for maintaining structure, productivity, and overall wellbeing. Routines help manage time efficiently, reducing stress and anxiety by providing predictability. They promote healthy habits, improve mental and physical health, and enhance sleep quality. Consistent routines also boost productivity and focus, facilitating the achievement of personal and professional goals. By prioritising essential tasks, routines prevent procrastination and ensure a balanced midlifestyle. Ignoring routines can lead to chaos, decreased efficiency, and heightened stress, ultimately affecting quality of life and success. Therefore, embracing daily routines is essential for achieving stability, health, and productivity in our lives.

Hey there, it's Fadila!

I'm still here! I survived the first episode! 💃

I'm so excited to share with you how I'd start from scratch if I had to lose 34kg.

I've literally mapped out the whole process together with my thoughts and how I'd do it.

I believe what we need to do in midlife is different to what we would do if we were decades younger.

In midlife we have so many things we need to consider, such as midlife transitions and menopause, things that didn't concern us before. And because life was super busy when we were raising families or advancing our careers, we became inactive and lost our spark.

So, without further ado, over to you...
