Whether it's drinking more water, going to bed earlier, or softening the thoughts in your head, change is something that many of us want but don't know how to get long lasting. 

I recently attended a talk with Alex Cornwell founder of Revolution Fitness and it reminded me about something that had slipped to the back of my mind. 

The best motivational coach in existence is the one in your own head.  People spend thousands of pounds hiring coaches in the hope that someone else will make them change.

But it often doesn't work like that.  Of course it can help facilitate & inspire change within you, but ultimately it's what you say to yourself that's going to make a big difference in the moment you are about to revert back to the old behaviour.  

In today's episode we discuss some powerful ways to make old habits die easy including: 

➡️ Making decisions
➡️ Slow sustainable change
➡️ Embracing discomfort
➡️ Small changes = big wins
➡️ The Four Tendencies (by Gretchen Rubin)

So if you're ready for some practical tips and strategies to help you change your life from the inside out, then this episode is your you

Divorce rates are higher than ever because today we have the luxury of refusing to accept subservience, unhappiness and abuse.  Having said that divorce is not easy especially at midlife when we are navigating all sorts of internal changes too along with a loss of confidence.  In today’s episode I talk to Martha Bodyfelt, founder of the Lionheart Method and divorce recovery coach about the D word.  We discuss:

Finding the balance between allowing time to grieve and giving yourself a loving kick up the backside to move on. 

Why you feel like you’ve failed (even though you haven’t).

Why guilt and shame about divorce is normal in the society that we live in.  

Getting specific about your own personal pathway to recovery.

How and when it's wise to get back into dating as a divorced midlife person. 

Learning from the past.

Leaning into the shame of acknowledging how you might have contributed to the demise of the marriage. 

Why long lasting marriages are NOT always a sign of happiness.

Why marriage should be as hard to get as a divorce

Reasons why some people find it harder to move on from a divorce than others.

So if you're ready to be armed with your divorce survival guide or if you're considering ending your marriage but you're terrified, then this episode is for you.

In today's episode we discuss what emotional bypassing is, the consequences of it and how we can heal from it.  As a child if you ever experienced statements like 'oh dust yourself off' or 'you'll be fine just carry on' or if you ever felt ignored and unseen despite being relatively 'happy', this episode is for you. 

Emotional bypassing in childhood has real physical and emotional consequences which include menopause symptom severity.

This episode was very much inspired by my musings with the work of Dr Gabor Mate combined with what I know about RTT.

The love that we feel about ourselves is largely down to the way that we look.  This standard of validity has been imposed upon us by a diet industry that makes millions preying on people’s need to ‘fit in’.   When menopause hits and the weight goes on, many women and people exhaust themselves in an attempt to maintain those unrealistic standards of beauty, just to feel like they belong.   Belonging is a fundamental human need, but we can find it in other ways.   That’s why I was so excited to have Brianna Wilkerson as a guest on the podcast today.  Brianna is is a Holistic Health and Life Coach, wife and mum, matcha tea lover and at-home crossfitter. She helps women find peace with food, feel confident in their bodies again, and develop healthy habits & lifestyl,e that’s more than just about their weight.

In this episode we discuss:

🙌🏽 Intuitive eating and how to remove the rules.
🙌🏽 Why your weight has nothing to do with your worth.
🙌🏽 Healthy living vs body positivity.
🙌🏽 How to stop hating our bodies.
🙌🏽 How we can nourish ourselves from the inside out
🙌🏽 Giving ourselves permission to give ourselves what we need
🙌🏽 How to be more emotionally intelligent. 
🙌🏽 Measuring success without the bathroom scale.  
🙌🏽 Bucking the trend and sticking two fingers up at societal expectation

So if your body is exhausted by the yoyo diet and body hatred trap and you're looking for a new way to relate to your body, this episode might be for you.

Has menopause mades you shrink and stay safe?  Our physical, mental and emotional needs go up at menopause and many of us are busy controlling our environment to maintain that sense of safety.  But sometimes what our soul is calling out for, is expansion. We can hear it but it's the fear that stop us from acting on it.  Expansion is the ability to look up and out and get a refreshing new perspective on life (and our menopause).  Hard to do when we're in the thick of despair, isolation and symptoms.  In this episode I give you 4 tips on how to expand your mindset through menopause even though you might not feel that safe to do so.  Safety is great, but we must remember that taking small risks can help us feel very much alive.

Going through menopause isn't just about HRT or lifestyle solutions.  It's about becoming authentic and real.  I this episode I do just that.   On the day of recording this I was feeling exhausted, emotional and reflective and instead of faking it, to bring you ' my 10 tips on how to have a happier menopause', I decided to turn my feeling into a piece of spoken word.   This is exactly the kind of thing I recommend my clients do when they are trying to process something difficult.  Channel it.  The result?  I felt lighter and more wholehearted.  It's short, so the time investment is low, but hopefully this will give YOU permission to show up as authentically you too.   No hiding.

At midlife we are being called to STOP our self betrayal, but it can be very hard to do for many reasons. Firstly, we might not even realise that we're doing it. Or we might feel very defiant about budgeting for our kids wellbeing but not our own.  Self betrayal can occur in a big way, for example staying in toxic relationships, or they can occur in a small way, for example, those daily compromises to our health which seem like nothing on the surface but over time they are like a drip of water gently wearing away a hard stone.   Either way, self betrayal has a huge impact on our physical, emotional and mental wellbeing, which at midlife, we need more than ever.  In this episode we talk about what self betrayal looks like and how we can start to heal from it. This is for you if you want to start prioritising yourself in the most important relationship of all.

When was the last time someone told you that they see how hard you try?  The thing is, we ALL need to hear that we are important from time to time, even the most hardened individuals.  Menopause requires a lot from us.  It takes our energy, our drive and our va va voom.  So that's why I thought it would be nice to bring you a very reassuring message.  A note from the Universe.   So if you need a soothing voice letting you know how flipping great you are, I'll see you inside.

We are tired.  Tired of menopause, tired of the pandemic, tired of thinking about what to cook for dinner... even our tired is tired.  Rest would help.  It would give us that sweet relief from the intense heaviness of the grind.  But do you rest?  Do you find time for it?  Or does guilt descend the minute you park your butt? If so, you're not alone.  The absence of rest is part of the grind culture we live in.  It's the voice of our oppressor.   It's time to take our power back and reclaim rest as our birth right.   In today's episode of we talk about:

😴 The different ways of resting.
😴 Why we don't rest.
😴 What are you avoiding by NOT resting.
😴 Rest as rebellion.
😴 The not so obvious benefits of resting.
😴 The difference between wasting time and actual resting.
😴 Resistance to resting

So if your bones are 100% ready to rest now this is the episode for you.  Find a nice patch of grass, lay down  and let me give you permission to take 40 minutes for yourself.
