We've probably all been there - feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated and exhausted. We know we can't live in this stress state but we don't know how to break the cycle.

Thankfully we have nutrition and wellness coach Elise Stewart from Nourish and Wild join us to equip us to break free from the tired and wired cycle!

Elise talks about 'intentional recovery' and how we need to get back to basics and make rest and good habits non-negotiables in order to start to heal our burnt out nervous systems and really live life well.

Elise shares some micro habits and small changes we can make that will have a big impact on how we feel, as well as talking about how nutrition, strength training and sleep can help us move from tired but wired to thriving and well!

I know that you will love listening back to this conversation and can't wait to hear how you start to implement some of Elise's tips!

We all know that having a tidy house helps us to have a tidy mind, but it's easy to reach overwhelm when we can't keep on top of the clutter in our busy lives.

Listen in to my conversation with professional de-clutterer, interior designer and home stager Rachel Smith from Clutter is the Enemy as she helps us shed the shame and the physical and mental clutter to move forward with our lives and live them in the way that we want to. Rachel has a big focus on wellbeing and mental health and recognises that our external surroundings are always a reflection of our inner wellness.

Rachel has so much empathy and wisdom to share, so if you are feeling stuck with your 'stuff', or just want some simple tips on how to love your home I know you will get so much from this episode.

Rather than feeling like dealing with the mess and clutter is one more thing to worry about, Rachel helps us to focus on creating a home that we can enjoy and relax in, because we deserve to and it has a hugely positive impact on our wellbeing.

When we start a family everything changes.

As much as we think we will have a baby and carry on as normal, nothing is ever the same again!

Join me as I chat to Sleep Coach Hannah Mason from Dusk to Dawn as we discuss the idea of Matrescence and the physical and mental impact of motherhood.

There is no other point in our adult life where we experience such a huge shift in our hormones, bodies, social circle and identities. We can be left feeling lonely, isolated, lost and overwhelmed, and that's before the mum guilt kicks in!

Hannah gives us an honest insight in to some of the changes we experience as mothers, as well as some simple ways we can start to rediscover who we are and what we need.

This conversation isn't just for the mums! It's for the dad's and friends and daughters to help us understand better how to take care of ourselves and each other.

I loved chatting to Hannah about this massively important topic and I know you will love listening in.

We'd love you to be part of this conversation and so please get in touch to share your experience of motherhood.

You can find Hannah here:

The book Hannah refers to is called 'Matrescence' by Lucy Jones.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed, burnt out, lacking purpose or just plain old stuck as a busy women?

This is something that Billie Pursglove from Billie Rose Therapy & Wellbeing comes across in her practise regularly.

Join me as we dive in to the pressures that women can face that lead to us losing touch with our own needs and wants, whether that comes from the people in our lives or societal expectations. This can cause us to lose connection with ourselves and feel stressed and depressed.

Billie shares some simple and actionable steps we can take to get back in to connection with ourselves and our needs and start to take back some control over our lives, to start to grow in confidence and assertiveness and to dream and feel excited about the future!

I know that you will find this episode practical and inspiring, and reassuring to know that you are not alone in the overwhelm but there is hope!

Breathwork is a big buzzword in the wellbeing space right now but if you are like me you may be curious about it, or have dabbled in it, but would like to know more about how to use it as a habit in our wellness tool box.

If so you are in luck as we have Jacqui Taylor, writer, coach and yoga teacher, join us for this episode to give us her beginners guide to breathwork.

Jacqui discovered breathwork at the start of her journey to become a cancer warrior. We are privileged to have Jacqui share with us how it has helped her on that journey and how she now teaches others how to use it to benefit their wellbeing.

Jacqui explains how the power of breath can help us to soothe our frazzled nervous systems, and gives us some simple tips to start our own breathwork journey.

My takeaways from our conversations were that just 5 minutes a day is enough to make a big difference and that it could just be the perfect antidote to our busy lives.

I'm inspired to add it to my daily habits and I think you will be too!

We'd love to hear your takeaways from this episode.

How do you feel about setting goals?

Do they help you feel motivated and excited? Or can they leave you feeling disappointed when you don't achieve them?

Join my conversation with Claire Moore, owner and director of women's gym Believe & Achieve, as we discuss how setting goals that align with our purpose and vision can be a really positive motivation to help us to improve our wellbeing.

Listen as I ask Claire when the best time to set goals (spoiler - it's now!) and how often to review them (often).

I love how Claire talks about we are more likely to stick to our goals and keep setting new ones when we create a positive association with them, rather than focusing on what we are losing or missing out on, and I also loved hearing Claire's inspirational back story of how she has created an amazing, supportive community for women in Sheffield.

If you are looking for some motivation and inspiration to start moving forward with your goals I know you will love this episode!

Knowing our purpose and understanding our behaviour are key for our wellbeing.

Join me as I talk to to certified Enneagram Evie Jenner as she explains how we can use this ancient typing tool to understand ourselves better and accept ourselves more.

Listen as Evie describes:

- what the Enneagram is

- what the different 'types' are

- how this tool has helped her and her clients

- how we can start this journey to knowing ourselves better and understanding not just 'what' we do but 'why' we do it

- how, as women, this journey to self-acceptance can lead to freedom from shame and to understand our purpose in life

I absolutely loved talking to Evie, personally I am slightly obsessed with the Enneagram and I'm excited for you to find out more about it and to hear your feedback!

Please do let us know what you think - I'd love to know if you discover your 'type' and how it helps you!

Evie recommended this great book to help you on your Enneagram journey:
