The Calm in Midlife podcast is where we will lift the lid on what it is to go through midlife as a woman in the 21st Century. I will be talking to women about how they define midlife. How old is midlife (certainly not within the confines of 40-65 years as society would believe)?
Our conversations will unravel all that midlife can be including career changes, challenges, ageing and body image, the physical symptoms of menopause, how relationships with partners might be changing and preparing for an empty nest.
With every episode, my mission is to support women on this midlife journey. To create a community where we can be honest and tell the world how “real” midlife can be, and how we can carve new paths for ourselves and celebrate how wonderful women are.
Take off the armour piece by piece and find out who you are and who you want to be.
In the last episode of this season I am reflecting on how I am following my own advice relating to self care.
I will discuss:
what I have learnt through this first season
why I am taking a break
why walking my talk is powerful
I can't wait to be back for season 2 in the future.

The Change
In this week's episode I want to talk about 'The Change'. When I first started the podcast I didn't think I would talk about perimenopause or the menopause but through the conversations I have had on the podcast I realise that 'change' is an important part of midlife.
Hear me talk about:
why it's important to talk about the menopause
the common thread between all of the women I have spoken to
why my motivation is high to share this
