The Beth Goodrham Podcast - Lifestyle & Health for Women

In the first episode of this two part podcast, I'm sharing with you what changes I made to my diet, why I made them and the benefits I've noticed.

As a girl who was brought up in the 1970s, everything was low fat. From cheese, to yoghurt and milk, the thought of eating anything other than a low fat version just wasn't done.  Fat was the enemy!

Which is why it's so strange to find myself eating a diet which is higher in fat than it ever was before. And why I'm no longer looking to carbs to fill me up.

The changes that I've noticed and the benefits I've felt have been beyond anything I could have imagined.

I've had lots of questions about the changes I've made to my diet so if you're interested to find out more about what's going on tune in!

And  in part 2, I'll talk through what I eat on a daily basis together with some recipe ideas so that you can see how it all comes together.

At the start of the episode I referred to my "Sunday Love Letter" sign up link, the in person coaching event I'm holding in November with my friend Mandy Rees and the "Embrace Your Magic" talk that I'm holding on 22nd August.

Just click the links below to find out more and I'll see you again next week!

Recently it struck me how going on holiday is a brilliant opportunity for people to re-invent themselves (especially if they're a teenager!) They're free to shake off the shackles of being known as the nerdy one,  or the one who had bad skin, or the one who needed a brace. And it got me thinking....if we all had a clean sheet of paper and could start again from scratch, what parts of our identity would we let go too? Take a listen to find out how this might unfold in the real world.

So here are a couple of questions for you. Do you know what the benefits of play are...even as an adult? And how often do you intentionally engage in it?

My guess is probably not very much. In fact, you may even balk at the idea. Perhaps you think that play is something that only children do.

I used to think the same too. Until I started to receive a  very clear message that I needed to play more. And the results have been fascinating to me.

In this episode I  share with you the benefits of play, what it might look like for you and how to incoporate it into your life. Let's go and have some fun!

When a last minute opportunity to go on a retreat presented itself, I jumped at the chance. It felt as though the stars aligned, so I threw caution to the wind and went. I had no idea what to expect but it was brilliant. I learned and and experienced new things, moved, challenged myself in so many ways, and meet some incredible people.

As promised, here are the details that I  said I would include. Both recommendations are absolutely worth checking out!

The place that we stayed had safari lodges with toasty beds, fabulous showers, a wood-burner and everything else you could imagine needing. The lodges are set in beautiful fields and are surrounded by meadows and flowers. Follow the link below to take a closer look.

Marrakech wasn’t somewhere that was really on my radar to visit, until a client of mine asked me whether I would like to go and stay at the Riad that she had bought and renovated with her husband. 

It took a while for the plan to come together but when my friend, Jo, and I finally made it there in February, we were blown away. 

Not only was it a hustling, bustling city of sights, sounds, smells and tastes to delight but the people, the architecture and the history were mind blowing. 

Thinking Marrakech might be somewhere you would like to visit? Take a listen for sites to visit, how to navigate the souks, the places to shop and the ways we calmed our souls.

Riad Muraksh - This is where we stayed

Riad El  Fenn - Owned by Vanessa Branson. This is where we went for roof top cocktails, dinner and star spotting!  

La Maison Arabe - Where we had cocktails and our romantic dinner!

Katie Lopes is the co-founder of the underwear brand, Stripe & Stare 

Back in 2003, Katie and her sister set up a retail business selling international fashion from New York and Australia. They counted Kate Middleton and Sienna Miller amongst their clientele.  But there was one product that caught Katies’ eye: a thong imported from the USA. It was that which customers came back for, time and time again. 

The rest, you might say, is history. Except it isn’t. 

Developing a comfortable knicker which women could wear every day became Katie’s obsession. From the early days of her first sketch for a  knicker (which her Mum made into a prototype on her sewing machine) to finding a factory, sourcing fabrics, and seeking non-stop customer feedback, Katie was on a mission to make the most comfortable knickers in the world.

In this episode, Katie shares her passion for supporting single mums in the business world, the people whose work brought her solace in her darkest times (and how they became Stripe & Stare customers), the brand’s culture of owning and celebrating your failure and how “thong-gate” resulted in a screaming match with her business partner (which, because they’re such good friends, was quickly resolved.)  

Grab a cup of coffee, pop your trainers on, buckle up in your car, and get ready for this motivational and insightful chat with Katie Lopes, co-founder of Stripe & Stare underwear. 

I have a discount code you can use if you would like to introduce some Stripe & Stare products into your life. Just enter BETHG20 at checkout and enjoy!

Ever wondered how some people just “know” what they’re here for? They have such a strong vocation or conviction that they don’t ever question whether they’re in the right job or following the right path.

But what if you’re not sure? 

Perhaps you’re thinking about returning to work after having had time away to look after your family. Or maybe you’ve left a role that you worked in for years and are wondering where to go next. Perhaps you’re retired but aren’t sure quite what to do with your spare time. Or maybe you don’t feel that you’ve even properly got started yet with all that you have to offer.

Maybe you’re multi-passionate and have a brain fizzing with ideas. In which case, how do you know which one to choose? 

Here I share 6 life-changing moments when my gut instinctively told me what to do next. I also teach you how to tune in to what your body is telling you and where else to look for the “purpose” pieces of this jigsaw puzzle called life.

Noticed that a lack of confidence is stopping you from doing things? Taking on new projects? Trying out new ventures or adventures? Or even doing things that you didn’t used to think twice about? 

As we get older, our confidence seems to decrease. I’m not sure why but I have a few theories on it. 

Here I share 5 steps that I rely on to get me through situations which I know are going to unsettle my central nervous system and test my confidence to the max. I hope that you find them helpful too.

You’ve heard of Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop, well it’s time to meet “Droop”, the middle-aged equivalent! 

For the last 90 days, I and two friends have been trying out different approaches to deal with afflictions that are common in middle age.  

Libby tested a product to help with bunions (not that she has them!) Mandy put something to help with wrinkles through its paces and I experimented with a device to increase the strength of my pelvic floor. 

In this episode we share what they were, how we got on, the results we experienced, AND what we’re going to be working on for our next edition of Droop.
