Welcome to Self Care Club: The Midlife Edition. This is the newly rebranded podcast for women navigating everything midlife throws at you. From hormones and menopause to where are we with jeans (it's endlessly complicated) divorce, dating, confidence and everything in between. Hosted by Nicole Goodman and Lauren Mishcon, winners of a British Podcast Award, Self Care Club has amassed millions of downloads and released over 700 episodes together. Together, Nicole and Lauren have trialled every self care fad, fix and fantasy going, and now they're turning six years of hard won experience into useful conversations that truly help midlife women. Expect honest, funny, genuinely useful conversations, doctors and experts brought in to explain the science, and the reassurance that you're not the only one googling your symptoms at 2am. If you're looking for a menopause podcast, a midlife podcast for women, or simply a funny, honest take on your 40s and 50s, you've found your people.

    Self Care Club: The Midlife Edition - Welcome to the Next Chapter

    Welcome back! And a big welcome to a brand new season and new chapter of this podcast. After seven years of exploring wellness and self-care, we’re evolving because, well, we’re evolving! In this intro episode, we talk about why self-care looks different in midlife and the real-life questions that come with this stage of life. We’re talking perimenopause and menopause, hormones, sleep and insomnia, anxiety, confidence, changing bodies, relationships, friendship, empty nesting, career, purpose, sex, ageing and finding joy in midlife. This isn’t about fixing yourself, looking younger or pretending midlife is always fabulous. It’s about honest conversations, expert advice and figuring out what actually matters to us now. In this episode: Why Self Care Club is becoming The Midlife Edition What self-care means in your 40s and 50s The biggest challenges and opportunities of midlife Why we’re talking more openly about menopause, mental health, relationships and identity What’s coming up on the podcast We really want you all to get involved because you are going to shape this next chapter of the show so please send in your questions, stories and topic ideas to us: hello@theselfcareclub.co.uk or dm us on Instagram @selfcareclubpod. What are you struggling with in midlife? What guests would you love to hear from? What are you currently trying to figure out? We're calling this The Midlife Edition because we believe this stage of life deserves its own conversation. Not because we're putting women in a box, but because there's so much to explore and so much we don't talk about enough. Welcome to the new Self Care Club. Let’s talk about midlife honestly, openly and without pretending we have all the answers.

    From The Archives - Assuming Good Intent

    We are taking a break over the summer so please enjoy this show from our archives. This week Lauren and Nicole go about their week by assuming good intent. Meaning they always start from the idea that a person meant well or was doing their best, no matter what they say or do. Sounds very simple, but the ladies struggled. Expect a lot of honesty and some hard truths they would prefer not to have to admit. If you like what we do here and want to be part of the club, why not follow us on Instagram and TikTok.

    From The Archives - Dreams

    We are taking a break over the summer so please enjoy this episode from our archives. Dreams seem to fascinate us; why we have them, what they are and where they come from. The majority of dream researchers today believe that dreams are messages from our unconscious mind and if we know how to interpret them, they can be powerful tools for personal growth. Research has shown that the more you remember and investigate your dreams, the better your creativity and problem-solving skills and can give you insight as well as be a source of guidance, healing, discovery, change and growth. So this week at the club we are going to teach you how to capture and remember your dreams. To help us with this week and we enlisted Theresa Cheung. Theresa is a Sunday Times bestselling author and one of 32 women listed in the 100 most spiritually influential living people of 2023.  Theresa works closely with scientists researching consciousness and has contributed features about dream power to newspapers and magazines and is a frequent dream decoding guest and spiritual expert on ITV: This Morning.

    We are taking a break over the summer - please enjoy this episode from our archive. When we face situations in life that aren’t ideal, if we're not actively changing them, then we are essentially consenting to them.  In today’s episode, we explore why this mindset can be a game-changer, and discuss how to apply it to your own life to move you out of situations or relationships where you feel stuck or stagnant and create real change.  In this episode we discuss: The mental shifts involved in change Why we have reluctance around change The power of choice.  Why inaction is not a passive choice but an active selection Email us: hello@theselfcareclub.co.uk  Studio production by @launchpodstudios Music by purpleplanet.

    From The Archives - Your Summer Self

    We are taking a break over the summer so please enjoy this episode from our archive. It’s the last episode before we take a break for summer and we’re going out in a haze of sunshine, rebellion, and possibly crisps for dinner. Because summer has a sneaky way of waking up a part of us that goes into hibernation the rest of the year;  the spontaneous one, the barefoot one, the one who remembers how to just be, instead of constantly doing. In this episode, we’re asking: What version of you emerges when the sun’s out and the pressure’s off? Is it your fun side? Your libido? Your ability to sit in a deckchair without feeling like you should be folding laundry? We’re talking summer selves, seasonal magic, and how to hang onto a little bit of that barefoot energy even when September rolls in.

There is so much pressure to have the “perfect” summer - a great body, a great wardrobe, making every day of the school holidays ‘magical’ and having a wonderful Instagram worthy perfect holiday. Today Lauren & Nicole are saying NO THANKS to all of it! In this episode the ladies talk about the myth of perfection and what self care you can put in place to have the realistic summer that you actually want and deserve using their S.N.A.C.K method - because everyone wants snacks, but nobody wants stress.  Email: hello@theselfcareclub.co.uk  Studio production by @launchpodstudios Music by purpleplanet.
