    Claire Eden on the importance of failure, sitting in discomfort and "Obliger Rebellion",

    I loved this conversation, Claire is so thoughtful and interesting. Topics we covered included: How Claire was told she was "too pretty to play the fat part". What our Mums think about perimenopause. How to be still when you're proactive and a do-er, so you can create the space for new stuff to come in to your life. Hating hustle culture. How it's not OK to ask about people's weight or whether or not they're gonna have kids. The ideas of "Is this draining me and does it serve me?" And so much more. Stuff we mentioned: Gretchin Reubin 'Four Tendencies 'https://gretchenrubin.com/books/the-four-tendencies/How to Fail with Elizabeth Day https://open.spotify.com/show/4m7U7kNne0iu35HK571Ui8?si=44e04f5ca6374d05 The Mel Robbins Podcast https://open.spotify.com/show/7vz4RYsD5MulTCrcH478t1?si=2dc47659bd3c4da9Ferne Cotton's Happy Place https://open.spotify.com/show/1J6Ddy4dcXjFZDmWQs3Pu0?si=7495e1d7eaf84492Charlotte Thorton Actors Mentor https://charlottethornton.comPositive Intelligence - Shirzad Charmaine & Anne-Marie Draycott https://www.positiveintelligence.comhttps://www.facebook.com/amdraycottcoaching/

    Good enough is good enough with Ruth Richards

    Ruth and I chat about changing the world, what is a normal life and the fact we only have 4000 weeks on earth. We avoided the topic of Brexit as we didn't have wine and discussed the value of "just sitting with your crap". Other chats include; Motherhood, being kind to yourself, the assumption of positive intent, coping with world news and the media in general and of course, because I'm obsessed with her, I mention Brene Brown. I also make a puking sound at the thought of baking for the PTA... I can only apologise for that. Stuff we mention: Life Loves You by Robert Holden and Louise Hay Humankind by Rutger Bregman 4000 Weeks by Oliver Burkeman Brene Brown on doing the best we can. https://youtu.be/w5TkA7d7eTw

    Menopause, midlife and leaving a marriage.

    Welcome to the FIRST EVER episode of Women Of A Certain Age! I am pretty sweary, so please don't listen if that is going to offend you. In this episode I chat to Laura Shuckburgh, who is a coach and menopause specialist. We cover all sorts of topics and have a laugh along the way. There's loads of great stuff including... Boundaries and saying no. Periods, perimenopause and menopause. Breaking free, leaving a marriage and following your dream. Shame and "Shoulding". Getting aligned with your values. Motherhood and careers. Being judgmental and what that means. Dancing (or not) with men in nightclubs... I admit to the whole world that "I mostly ignore my kids" so I can't wait to receive my mum of the year nomination! ;-)  E laura@marvellousmidlife.co.uk W www.marvellousmidlife.co.uk NOTES: I refer to Lousie Hay's "Shoulding Exercise" which is in her book You Can Heal Your Life https://www.louisehay.com/ and also Mel Robbin's High Five Method. https://www.high5habit.com/ Please like, review and subscribe and share this with anyone you think might enjoy it.
