Phoenix Wellness Coaching Podcast

Welcome to the second episode in our second season of the Phoenix Wellness Coaching Podcast. In this episode I talk about the concept of mothering yourself and how this can help us to maintain or rebuild that important connection to yourself. When we transition through menopause we can sometimes lose that connection and not recognise the woman we are becoming. Often this is caused through the many changes brought on by menopause, but also can be the result of not putting ourselves top of our to do list. Listen along to learn more about why we need to start filling our cup and mothering us first before we seek to mother others.

Join us for the First Episode in the Second Season of the Phoenix Wellness Coaching podcast where we bring to life the stories of inspirational women and men. Today we are talking to Maria, a woman navigating her menopause. In this episode Maria talks about how her faith has been the bedrock for everything she does, how it has sustained and helped her through the ups and downs of life, has helped her to find her purpose and gives her a strong sense of inner peace. This is a fascinating discussion and for women at menopause, the need to search for something "greater" than themselves becomes a strong need.

Welcome the 12th and final episode in this first season of the Phoenix Wellness Coaching podcast. In this episode, the Founder and CEO of Phoenix Wellness Coaching, Jeanette Forder, reflects on the conversations and stories we have heard from these great women. We look at the common threads through these stories and what we can learn from other women to help us to grow and develop. We round off this season digging into some of the big philosophical questions that have been lying under the surface of these conversations - what defines us as women, why is equity and fairness so important to us, why we are still apparently uncomfortable talking openly about menopause? We explore Jeanette's thoughts on these bigger questions and think about how life coaching can help women to navigate their life choices.

Welcome to episode 11 of the Phoenix Wellness Coaching podcast exploring women's life choices through the real stories of real women. In this episode we interview Gayle, an inspiring American woman who has faced, and overcome, adversity in her life and has turned those negative experiences into positives for both herself and those around her. Gayle has a great story to tell and again we explore how our experiences can build our resilience, but more importantly, how we can use them to help those around us. Gayle was diagnosed with breast cancer in the early 1990s, when the conversation and treatment of cancer was very different to how it is now. We talk to Gayle about her experiences of undergoing a double mastectomy and how that experience drove her to want to help other women going through the same experience. This is an open, honest and frank conversation with lots of emotion around Gayle's experience, but a great example of how she wouldn't let this break her and how she turned this to a positive and has helped 1000s of other women facing breast cancer.

Welcome to Episode 10 of the Phoenix Wellness Coaching podcast exploring Women's Life Choices. In this episode I am delighted to be talking with Lucy Wallington of Budgeting and Planning, our third expert to join our podcast series. In this episode we explore how we actually plan our lives, our life vision and look at how Lucy's Life Map tool can help us, as women, to plan for the different eventualities that we may face. Lucy shares her own story and why she developed the Life Map as well as talks about how she can fulfil her mission to help women to achieve the success they desire and to be independent at every stage of their lives.

Welcome to episode 9 of the Phoenix Wellness Coaching podcast series exploring women's life choices. In this episode we talk to a mid-life lady, wife, mother to a grown up son and highly successful business woman who has battled serious ill health for many years. During our conversation we explore resilience, debating the role of nature versus nurture in developing our resilience. Through the story of this hugely inspiring woman we learn how her experiences have shaped her resilience and the impact these have had on her as a wife and mother.

Welcome to the 8th episode in our Phoenix Wellness Coaching podcast series, where we explore women's life choices and how these decisions impact not just her life, but the lives of those around her. In this episode we take a slightly different approach, and interview Graham, an IT specialist and entrepreneur, about his experience of bringing his blended family togehter. We look at what we mean by "blended family" and how Graham and his partner made this work for the good of themselves and their four children. In the discussion we explore the stresses and strains of a blended family,  and through Graham's lived experience, we look at how partners support one another, but in particular how the women in the relationship can support their male partners. 

Welcome to the 7th episode in the Phoenix Wellness Coaching podcast. In ths episode we are talking with our second expert, Nicola Dowley who is a business strategy coach, specifically working with female entrepreneurs helping them to discover their spirituality and harness their intution to grow their businesses and importantly to find their purpose. This episode continues our discussion of exploring how pivotal moments can change the way women think and view their lives. We look at the importance of looking after our inner wellbeing as well as our physical wellbeing, and explore the rise in the number of women using their spirituality and intuition to give their lives meaning.

Welcome to the sixth episode in the Phoenix Wellness Coaching podcast exploring Women's Life Choices. In this episode we tackle the menopause and look at how premature menopause affects not just the woman, but her entire family. We talk to Graham and Val about their experiences and how they successfully navigated their way through Val's premature menopause at age 36. Whilst the menopause only affects women we need to recognise that we do not live in isolation and our experiences can have a huge impact on our families and those closest to us. This is definitely a "must listen" episode for men who are looking to support their wives or partners who are experiencing menopause.
