In this episode, I talk about why it may be important to think of ageing even when you're 40. NOT the usual dreadful and dark thinking though! I invite you to reframe how you view ageing and how to add more intention to it. Tune in today to listen around prevention vs treating health issues, BS around societal midlife standards and possibilities and opportunities vs tiredness and challenges in midlife. I'm really passionate about this topic and profoundly care that we all can find our own ways of embracing ageing and redefining what it means to us. 

Here's to ageing better, be healthier and reframing that mindset around perimenopause and growing older. We've got this!

In this episode, I discuss the power of wellness non-negotiables. Some things and practices and routine you repeat daily and when you miss it, you often feel icky or uncomfortable. Think about them as your baseline for wellness - as long as you do them, it's all good! Anything on top of it may be considered an extra.

Listen to the episode to find out what are some of my non-negotiables (there a few more, but I share here my chosen 5!) and how to create yours to support your wellbeing and feeling amazing in your 40s and beyond.

At the start, I mentioned the author James Clear; for his resources of building healthy habits check out his website: https://jamesclear.com/
