Do you feel like you need to justify the choices you've made? "I'm a stay at home mum but I used to be a company director". "I teach fitness but I used to be a lawyer". Why do we do it? What's it all about?

We'd love your views.

As parents, we're raising adults. We're there is nurture and guide so there's a fine line between guiding and controlling. So when should we step in when our children are having problems. Sarah and I discuss situations in our own lives where we've stepped in and the reasoning behind this.

We'd love your feedback. What do you think?

What are you doing to get back into things after the break? Did you get some down time? Did you fall off track with your routines? Did you have a god time? Sarah and Virginia share their similar but quite different experiences. We'd love to hear yours!

You'll probably notice the changes in your cycle before you notice anything else. Maybe they become heavier; maybe you skip a month; maybe you notice more severe mood shifts or even stronger cramps but as sure as eggs are eggs, unless you are very much in the minority, you will notice changes. Here we share our experiences at different stages in that menopausal journey.

Are you still following the 20 something trainers and wondering why you can't get the same results? Your body changes as you age and as 2 middle aged women, we get it. It isn't difficult though to stay fit and healthy though. You just need to do it differently. Here we share our own experiences. Enjoy! We hope you learn to go easy on yourself.

How many times have you sat down, opened up Facebook or Instagram and scrolled. What did you not get done in that time that you needed to get done. Moving forward is hard as it usually involves stepping outside of our comfort zone but if we don't do it, we'll stagnate. Join us as we talk about our love of procrastinating.

Sometimes we just get a little bit stuck. What do you channel your creativity. We share some of our ideas. Virginia, odd woman that she is, dates Dave the Dyson. You'll have to listen to find out more......

How many times do you say "I'm so bad at that", "I'm no use", "I can't do that"? Join us as we talk about what failure actually is and how to overcome those nasty stories we tell ourselves.

Let's face it. We get our children on loan. They grow up way too quickly and before you know it, they're off and you're left wondering what happened. Did you always say "I can't wait until the kids leave home?" How did you feel when they left? Do you still have this to come? Join us as we share our views. Virginia will share how she feels about her son having left the roost.

How do you deal with the haters and the trolls in your life? Join us as we share some of our experiences and how we've dealt with them both in our online businesses and in the workplace.
