    S2 #19 Being More Human(!)

    It's important to not override our body's very real needs and desires I feel. So, here is an episode about allowing ourselves to be more human, to show things and do more of what we do without masking (moderate may be key of course). We are not robots. Especially in a world with AI and becoming more tech crazy than ever. In this episode I speak about: giving less f**ks about 'shoulds', pressures and conditioningbeing a nervous system friendly personal trainermasculine and feminine energyboundaries and shedding the 'Marty Mother' rolewearing your own hattoxic bosses/colleagues Themes: nervous system care, fitness, boundaries, body literacy, emotional intelligence I mention Christina Perri, Episode #15 of my podcast, Suzy Reading, Sarah Forbes @mamasexbook on IG, Episode #31 with Alex Higham, and Brené Brown.

    S2 #16 Escaping Abuse (20 Years Into Marriage); An Interview with Sophie Luminara

    I came across Sophie on Instagram, talking about enjoying life after escaping an abusive marriage. I love her openness in what she shares; her recovery, living in Mauritius and thriving after abuse. It was great to speak to another survivor Mama who speaks openly about her experience. Conversations like this and sharing it can help others know they're not alone in their feelings. And that can both change and save lives! Please consider sharing this episode with someone you know and/or on your socials. TRIGGER WARNINGS: We speak about abuse a lot in the episode. Please be mindful in case you may be triggered. From 49 minutes 10 seconds to 53 minutes Sophie speaks about her experience of miscarriage (aka early pregnancy loss), and post-birth health issues which may be upsetting.

    S2 #15 Shedding the Shame and Degrading Labels

    Shame is a huge topic. Not always comfortable to talk about of course, but necessary nonetheless. As well as healing and helpful — transformative even. Shame is rife in so many ways in society. It always has been. And a lot of the time with/projected onto women for reasons that do not make any f**king sense. But when shame is aired it has less power. (So says Bréne Brown.) And I, for one, can testify to that, in many ways. As always, please feel free to let me know what this episode brings up for you; you can contact me on Instagram, and/or at lucy@lucywyldecoaching.com In this episode I speak about: the undue shame of being divorced/separatedthe shame of being 'overweight'my experience of acne and skin issuesfeelings around growing olderburlesque and sensualitySTI's'just' a MOTHER!? Themes: shame, motherhood, health, abuse I mention Mark Groves, Dr Sophie Brock, Ebony Jane Hensler, Rebecca Antonucci, and Paloma Faith. At the end, I read a quote from Gisèle Pelicot.
