    When staying the same stops working

    Send us Fan Mail What if life doesn’t look like you expected… and it turns out even better ? In this episode of Finding Foundations, I’m joined by Fiona for a conversation about reinvention, grief, intuition, anxiety, yoga, starting over, and building a life that actually feels like your own. We talk about the moment where “coping” stops working. The pressure women feel to follow a certain path. The grief of realising life might not unfold the way you imagined. And what happens when you finally stop trying to fit inside the box society handed you. Fiona shares her journey from ending her marriage, leaving a successful NHS career, selling her home, and completely rebuilding her life around yoga, wellbeing, and creating her yurt space in the Lake District. Talk about a blow up! This is a conversation about trusting yourself, even when you don’t fully know where you’re going yet. About learning to sit with discomfort instead of suppressing it. About creating a life that feels full — with or without the things you once thought would complete you. We also explore: – gut instinct and reconnecting to the body – anxiety, burnout, and midlife awakening – letting go of attachment – why slowing down changes everything – building a life on your own terms – the courage it takes to choose differently A really honest, thoughtful conversation for anyone questioning whether the life they’ve built still fits who they are becoming. follow Fiona or sign up for her retreats here......

    Money, Relationships.... and what no one tells you until it's over

    Send us Fan Mail Money is one of those things we don’t really talk about… until we absolutely have to. In this conversation, I’m joined by Liz Harrington, an EFT coach who works with women around money, financial trauma, and what actually happens behind the scenes in relationships, especially when things end. We get into the reality of how women often end up on the back foot financially, not because they’ve done anything wrong, but because of the systems, the dynamics, and the conversations that never happened in the first place. We talk about money mindset, the beliefs we’ve carried since childhood, and how they shape everything from what we earn, to what we ask for, to what we think we deserve. And we also go into the practical side things like protection, pensions, and why understanding your financial situation isn’t about being negative… it’s about being able to stand on your own two feet, whatever happens. There’s also a live EFT tapping exercise in this episode, so you can actually experience what it feels like to shift some of this in real time. It’s not doom and gloom, but it is honest. And it might make you think about a few things you’ve been avoiding.
