In this week's mini pod-sode, Gwen and Kate talk about the amazing impact of women's circles, the importance of rituals and rites of passage, the life-changing power of mindset that sees Kate climb a mountain like Spiderman and both walk over hot coals without feeling a thing, and why we all need a hype-man in our lives!

Sponsor Gwen & Kate on their firewalk and raise funds for Temwa helping communities in Northern Malawi on the forefront of the impacts of climate change.

It's the RUMP Rewind! Where we delve into the back catalogue to bring out our fave golden oldies. This week Kate's chosen a listener fave, all about creating a remarkable life.

We talked to Nic Devlin & Danielle Macleod about stepping out of warrior and victim mode and instead playing to create a life that brings you joy.

Get your pens ready, as this bumper episode is chock-full of top tips, quotes + ideas to up-level your life, get out of your own way and unleash your brilliance.

Nic & Danielle run a project called Remarkable Women, a coaching organisation that helps people to make incredible changes in their lives. They set Gwen & Kate the simple challenge of each day trying to do something that makes their day, and someone else's day, 1% better.

In the episode, we also mention our Walking Therapy episode, which you can listen to here: rightupmy.buzzsprout.com/1337593/8249060-ep-10-walking-therapy

It's the RUMP Rewind! We’re diving into the archives to bring you some of our all-time favourite episodes. Each week, Gwen and Kate take turns picking an old fave and sharing why it made the cut.

In Ep.27, we chatted to actor, conscious DJ and breathwork facilitator Luisa Bradshaw-White, live at The Big Retreat Festival. Best known for her roles in This Life, Eastenders, Bad Girls and Holby City, Luisa talks to us about one of her big passions – ecstatic dance, as well as her relationship with her mental health, breathwork and how she finds her happy.

Also, don't miss Gwen and Kate reporting back from the festival straight after taking part in one of Luisa's ecstatic dance workshops and cacao ceremonies... let's just say they went in deep!

You can find out more about Luisa's ecstatic dance sessions and her breathwork on her Instagram page @officiallulubw.

In this l'il cute one, Gwen & Kate focus on the importance of scheduling alone time. Whether it's Kate driving through the hills of France while her family sleeps, or Gwen's ring-fenced solo Monday nights, we discuss what happens when we give our brains a chance to breathe, how we can reconnect with ourselves again and what happens when we don't. We also discuss the latest trend of 'raw-dogging' and Bridget Christie's hilarious series The Change on C4. 

Plus listener shout-outs re: how they spend their quality time alone. How about you, do you carve out time for yourself? Or will you try harder after listening to this?

Therapists Sarah McConnell and Helene Igwebuike join us to chat about Attachment Theory. We dive into what it means to feel securely attached and what it’s like when you don’t. They break down how we form and manage attachments in all kinds of relationships – whether it’s with a partner, family, or friends. And how by understanding our own attachment style, we can improve these connections and make a huge difference to our overall well-being.

You can also join Gwen and Kate as they try (with varying degrees of success) to connect with their inner child.

Sarah and Helene specialise in Emotionally Focused Therapy. You can find out more about this, as well as find registered therapists, at the British Emotionally Focused Therapy Centre.
