    S1:E7: Boundaries - Finding Your Edge

    In this conversation, Gry Stene and Steph Liyanage discuss the importance of setting boundaries, particularly during midlife. They discuss the challenges women face with people-pleasing and the 'good girl curse,' emphasising the importance of self-care and recognising emotional triggers. The dialogue highlights how boundaries can empower individuals, improve mental health, and foster healthier relationships. They also share practical tips for creating safe spaces for communication and the necessity of respecting both personal and others' boundaries. TakeawaysBoundaries are essential for maintaining self-respect and protecting one's energy. Midlife brings unique challenges to self-identity and boundary setting. The 'good girl curse' often leads to people-pleasing behaviours. Setting boundaries can improve mental health and reduce emotional exhaustion. It's important to recognise and respect your own emotional triggers. Creating micro boundaries can help manage daily interactions. Self-compassion is crucial when navigating boundary setting. Effective communication is key to maintaining healthy relationships. Boundaries should evolve with personal growth and life changes. It's not selfish to prioritise your own needs and well-being.

    S1:E6: You're Not Lazy

    In this conversation, Gry Stene and Steph Liyanage explore the complexities of neurodivergence, particularly ADHD, and how it affects their lives. They discuss the misconceptions surrounding laziness and overstimulation, the importance of self-kindness, and the potential of neurodivergent traits as superpowers. The conversation also explores the role of technology and AI in managing life, the importance of rest, and the necessity of healthy boundaries. They encourage listeners to reflect on their own experiences and recognise the strengths that come with neurodiversity. TakeawaysOverstimulation can be mistaken for laziness. Understanding one's nervous system is crucial for self-acceptance. Neurodivergent traits can be seen as superpowers. Burnout is a significant issue for neurodivergent individuals. Hormonal changes can impact ADHD symptoms. Coping mechanisms are essential for managing ADHD. Technology can aid in life management for neurodivergent individuals.

    S1:E5- Energy Upgraded

    In this episode of Vitalify Unplugged, hosts Steph Liyanage and Gry Stene delve into the complexities of energy management, sharing personal experiences with fatigue, the importance of nature, the dual role of technology, and the significance of nourishment and physical movement. They emphasise the need to listen to one's body and cultivate energy rather than chase it, advocating for a holistic approach to wellness that honours individual rhythms and needs. Keywordsenergy, fatigue, nourishment, movement, technology, nature, wellness, mental health, self-care, mindfulness TakeawaysIt's not your fault if you're feeling fatigued. Upgrading energy is about being different, not doing more. Energy lives in your cells and is influenced by various factors. Listening to your body is crucial for understanding your energy levels. Nature has a profound impact on our energy and well-being. Technology can either drain or enhance our energy. Movement should be about pleasure, not punishment. Finding joy in movement can significantly boost energy levels. Cultivating energy is about honouring your body's rhythms. Recognising what drains and restores your energy is essential.
