June 22, 2026 Burnout Recovery: Why Rest Isn't Enough with Jo Hutton
This week on Self Care Club, we welcome Jo Hutton, yoga teacher, writer, trainer and creator of Yoga for Tired People, one of the world's leading health and wellbeing Substacks.
Despite spending years teaching wellbeing practices, Jo experienced severe burnout in 2022. In this powerful conversation, she shares what burnout really looked like behind the scenes, why knowing about self-care isn't the same as practising it, and what genuine recovery actually requires.
Together, we explore burnout recovery, nervous system regulation, chronic exhaustion, the difference between rest and recovery, and why so many people still feel tired even after taking time off. Jo also explains how the deeper teachings of yoga helped her recover and why rest may be a skill most of us have never learned.
If you're feeling constantly exhausted, overwhelmed, burnt out or stuck in survival mode, this episode offers a compassionate and evidence-informed perspective on recovery.
Self Care Club is the podcast that cuts through wellness myths and explores what really works for health, wellbeing, burnout recovery and self-care.
• Burnout recovery and healing

May 25, 2026Glimmers, Nervous System Healing & Self-Care with Nadia Narain & Katia Narain Phillips
This week on the podcast, we’re diving into a concept you’ve probably seen everywhere lately: glimmers. Recently identified by trend forecasters as one of the defining wellbeing trends for 2026, glimmers - the opposite of triggers - are tiny moments that spark feelings of safety, joy, calm, or connection. At a time when wellness can often feel overwhelming, expensive, or performative, glimmers offer something beautifully simple: the ability to find nourishment in what’s already around us. To explore this idea, we’re joined by two women who have quite literally written the book on it — sisters Nadia Narain and Katia Narain Phillips, authors of Glimmers: Tiny Moments to Transform Your Life.Nadia and Katia have spent decades exploring healing, self-care, nervous system regulation, and emotional wellbeing.
Together they are also the bestselling authors of Self-Care for the Real World and Rituals for Every Day.In this conversation, we discuss:
What glimmers actually are and why they matter
How noticing small positive moments can support nervous system regulation
The science behind glimmers and brain rewiring
Why this practice resonates so deeply right now
The connection between glimmers, trauma healing, and mental health
Simple ways to begin noticing glimmers in everyday life
Personal glimmers Nadia and Katia have experienced recently
And the self-care practices they turn to themselves
This is a warm, grounding and hopeful conversation about finding beauty, safety and connection in the smallest moments and why those moments may be more powerful than we realise.Come see us hosting in the Menopause tent at the Everywoman Festival on June 13th https://www.everywomanfest.com/tickets-london

May 07, 2026 Bonus 40ish - Weight Loss in Your 40s, Menopause at Work & Ottolenghi
This week on 40ish Lauren reaches peak midlife as she attends an wholesome Ottolenghi Cooking Club; yet somehow gets embroiled in a conversation about anal s*x within 3 minutes of arrival. Meanwhile Nicole realises that you know when you’re spending too much time with your gyne when he feels fully comfortable eating crisps off your plate. In midlife news it turns out almost half of middle-aged Brits are still traumatised by school PE - not surprising if you remember being asked to climb that rope in a pair of big navy pants. We hear from listeners navigating menopause in toxic workplaces, sharing the very real fear of education being weaponised, but also why the conversation still has to happen. Today’s dilemma asks: Is it actually possible to lose weight in your 40s? Despite doing “all the right things” (gym, PT, food), social media is screaming that unless you buy a miracle pill, it’s game over. We get into the pressure, the myths, and the reality of midlife bodies.

April 13, 2026 Drunk in Barcelona, Movicol and Menopause Awareness
On 40ish -
In today’s show: Nicole goes to Barcelona. Nicole gets very drunk. Nicole takes electrolytes and Movicol before bed and decides that it would be socially acceptable to kiss Jon Hamm if he just happened to turn up. Lauren decides to share her drunk texts with the nation. We also discuss the absolute state of modern “healthy” recipes including cauliflower fudge (why), cauliflower pizza (still why), turkey mince pizza (call the police) There’s also a dilemma from someone who is completely fed up with hearing about menopause everywhere she turns and wonders if awareness has gone too far. (Short answer: No!) Plus petty midlife annoyances, full bins, clicky phone keyboards, Kirsty Alley, Family Ties (remember that?) all the usual chaos. If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend who needs a laugh (or an electrolyte).

April 05, 2026 Bowel Cancer, Colonoscopies and why we are weird about poo
This episode is sponsored by Welbeck - providing beyond better healthcare. Every 12 minutes someone in the UK is diagnosed with Bowel Cancer. Bowel Cancer Awareness Month takes place every April to raise awareness of symptoms, promote early diagnosis, and encourage screening. As the UK's fourth most common cancer, early detection is critical, with over 90% of cases surviving if caught early. It mainly affects people over 50 but can affect anyone. To talk all about this today we are delighted to welcome consultant gastroenterologistDr Adam Haycock to the show. We get into the importance of screening, symptoms to watch out for and what exactly happens at a colonoscopy. Adam explains: The warning signs people should be aware of Why symptoms must be checked urgently Which symptoms are often dismissed or mistaken for something less serious How particular women's conditions can cause confusing symptoms What to do if you feel embarrassed Why it is vital to take part in the free screening test for over 50’s Plus, we discuss why people are so weird about poo, what a polyp is and why they need to be looked at.
