    The Age Rebellion: Why Midlife Is Our Time to Rise - Interview with Lyndsey Simpson

    Send us Fan Mail Today on The Midlife Mentors, we’re joined by Lyndsey Simpson, serial entrepreneur, author of The Age Rebellion - and a powerful voice challenging everything we’ve been told about getting older. Because here’s the truth - we’re living longer than ever before - decades longer, in fact - and yet so many of us are still following an outdated societal script of winding down, playing small, or waiting for 'retirement' to finally live. Lyndsey is leading what she calls an 'age rebellion' - a movement to rewrite the rules, reclaim control and design a second half of life that’s driven by passion, purpose and possibility. In this inspiring and uplifting conversation, we explore what it really means to take ownership of what comes next - how to break free from limiting beliefs about age…and why your most exciting, fulfilling years are most definitely still ahead of you. So if you’re feeling as though there must be more, and want to build a life you never want to retire from - take a listen.

    Picked Last: How School PE Trauma Might Still Affect Your Relationship With Exercise

    Send us Fan Mail A recent Age UK study found that nearly a third of adults still feel affected by their school PE experiences… with many put off exercise for life. Not because they’re lazy, but because of how it made them feel. Being picked last. Feeling judged. Not fitting in. And what’s interesting is - those moments didn’t stay in childhood. They shaped the story you might still be telling yourself now… “I’m not sporty”, “exercise isn’t for me” or "I’m not good enough…" So today, we’re getting into that - in a funny lighthearted way - as we share our own personal (traumatic!) experiences. We look at where these unhelpful beliefs really come from… and how to finally rewrite them in a way that actually works for you now - so you can live midlife healthy, happy and strong. Struggling with midlife lately? We offer 20 minute chats - for free - to unpick what's going on and help you get clarity on the next steps.  To book, just drop us an email at team@themdlifementors.com Support the show Please remember, if you find the show helpful or it makes you laugh, motivates and inspires you - please do like, share and rate us.

    Stories Your Family Has Been Meaning to Tell: An Interview With Neil Taylor

    Send us Fan Mail If you're in the position where you still have a parent, or both parents, alive and well - this episode poses the question - how well do you really know them? Not just as mum or dad - but as people, with their own stories, struggles and choices. After losing his father, our guest on today's episode - Neil Taylor, realised something most of us avoid. He'd run out of time to ask his dad the things that truly mattered. Since then, he's dedicated his life to capturing parent's stories that would potentially be lost forever through his work - Me & My Old Man This is a beautiful (and sometimes difficult) conversation about family, legacy and healing - and why making time is truly transformative. We also want to acknowledge that some of you listening may have already lost a parent, so understandably this episode might feel a little raw and potentially reflective. So please listen with care and self compassion.

    Separation After Infidelity: A Guide To Moving Forward With Self Compassion

    Send us Fan Mail Today we’re tackling a tricky subject - separation after infidelity…  This episode was inspired by a workshop we were asked to run for a corporate client on the subject, and despite the tough emotional angle, we were blown away by the engagement from participants, so we thought we’d share what we talked about here. This isn’t about blame or picking apart what went wrong. It’s about recognising that when trust is broken, it doesn’t just affect the relationship - it shakes our sense of self, safety and reality. You might be feeling everything right now… anger, confusion - perhaps even relief...or nothing at all. In this episode, we’ll try to help you make sense of what you’re feeling so you can start finding your footing again. It’s not about having all the answers, but about being compassionate as you move along your own individual journey of healing. We're by no means 'experts', but we have been through this ourselves - and coached many clients through their own separation challenges. So we hope this episode helps you feel seen, heard and understood.

    Raising Teens: From Conflict To Connection - Interview with Dr Suzanne Simpson

    Send us Fan Mail If you’re in midlife and raising teenagers, you’ll know it can sometimes feel like you’re living with a complete stranger.  One minute they’re the child who used to tell you everything… and the next they’re behind a closed door, headphones in and phone glued to their hand. It can leave even the most loving, well-meaning parent wondering: am I getting this right? In this episode we’re joined by Dr Suzanne Simpson, who has spent years working with teenagers in educational and psychiatric settings. She shares powerful insights into what our teens really need from us right now - and it might not be what you think.  We talk about why connection matters more than perfection, how curiosity builds trust, and why the small moments of presence between parent and child matter far more than any clever tools and techniques. If you sometimes feel unsure how to reach your teenager, how to set boundaries around technology, or how to keep the lines of communication open… this conversation is one you won’t want to miss. https://www.drsuzannesimpson.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/drsuzannesimpson/ Support the show Please remember, if you find the show helpful or it makes you laugh, motivates and inspires you - please do like, share and rate us.
