   It's Not Confidence You've Lost, It's Self-Trust: Grief, Loss & Choosing Happiness with Tabby Kerwin

   Have you ever gone through something that changed you so completely that the person you were before feels like someone else? Grief, a relationship ending, a career change, miscarriage, IVF, becoming a mum or not becoming one: after a major life change we're told to "get our confidence back." But what if confidence isn't really what we've lost? This week, Soraya and Jasmine are joined by Tabby Kerwin, consultant psychologist, author, TEDx speaker and widow, who shares why widowhood made her happier and why rebuilding after loss starts with self-trust, not confidence. We talk about: • Why you can be happy and sad at the same time • The "positivity pyramid": how self-kindness and self-compassion build self-trust, confidence and happiness • The simple "Will I regret it?" filter for making decisions without needing other people's approval • Guilt, relief, shame and the fear of other people's opinions after loss • Why grief isn't a bereavement issue but a long-term mental health reality • Grief in the workplace and how to become a grief-informed leader • Miscarriage, IVF and why there are no "levels" of grief, only layers • The two worst words to say to someone who's grieving • Why grief education needs to start in schools Plus, Soraya shares an update on living with endometriosis and getting approved for an access card, and Jasmine reveals the surprising toothpaste swap that changed her mouth health. Whatever you've lost, if it feels like grief to you, it is grief, and you deserve support. 🔗 Connect with Tabby: Website - www.tabbykerwin.co.uk (https://www.tabbykerwin.co.uk/) Insta & TT - @tabbykerwin For widows: Insta & TT @widowhoodmademehappier Free Grief and Mental Health Resources: www.theperformexperience.com (https://www.theperformexperience.com/) Insta & TT - @theperformexperience 💛 UK grief support: The Good Grief Trust & Cruse Bereavement Care 🎟️ Join us LIVE on 28 November!

   The Cornell 7: Why Women Still Don't Feel Safe

   Cornell sexual assault lawsuit: what's alleged, why the case is back in the headlines, and why so many women still don't feel safe. Content note: this episode discusses sexual assault. Please skip if that's not something you want to hear today. A former Cornell student alleges she was drugged and sexually assaulted at the Chi Phi fraternity house in 2024. Her civil lawsuit is now public, prosecutors have reopened the case, and the internet is asking how it was handled. (Cornell disputes that essays were the only consequence and says the allegations were investigated under its policies. These are allegations, and the legal process is ongoing.) Our guest cancelled at the last minute, so Soraya and Jasmine had the conversation that needed to happen. In this episode: - What the Cornell lawsuit alleges and why it has sparked such anger - Why women are still told to take every precaution while accountability lags behind - The bystander effect: what it means when a whole group chat stays silent - Why women don't report, and why reporting still matters, including to the police - Elite universities, institutions protecting themselves, and The Hunting Ground and Promising Young Woman - Is violence against women escalating? Social media, the manosphere and the under-16 ban debate - The New York video that asked women what they'd do if they were guaranteed safe for a day - More stories that show how often women aren't listened to, including the Tokyo Medical University admissions scandal - What we can actually do: speak up, don't assume someone else has reported it, and teach both boys and girls Females Thriving Over 30 is the podcast for women in their thirties, forties, fifties and beyond, and for the twenty-somethings quietly dreading the big 3-0. Every week we talk career, identity, self-worth and building a life that feels as good as it looks.

   How to Stop People Pleasing & Find Alignment: Subconscious Beliefs, Boundaries & Self-Worth with Yana German

   Why do you keep saying yes when you mean no? Transformational coach Yana German reveals why 97% of your daily life runs on subconscious programming and how to find your way back to alignment. What if the life you're living looks right on the outside but doesn't feel right anymore? In this episode of Females Thriving Over 30, Soraya and Jasmine sit down with Yana German, the Chicago-based coach, spoken word poet and creator of SoulScript Poetry, known as the "Architect of Awareness & Alignment." With nearly three decades of experience, Yana shares how she turned her own healing from trauma into a calling. She explains how inherited beliefs and generational patterns quietly shape our relationships, our self-worth and our ability to set boundaries. In this episode we cover: - Why affirmations alone don't work, and how subconscious beliefs really change - How your parents' fears and anxieties can become your patterns - Why "I don't know who I am anymore" is actually a breakthrough moment - The quiet within: how to hear your intuition over your ego - Why meditation doesn't work for everyone (and what to do instead) - The best times of day for reflection, journaling and gratitude - People pleasing, overgiving and why you can't pour from an empty cup - How to create your own integrity map - The 7 types of boundaries and why self-love is the key to setting them If you're a recovering people pleaser, an overachiever or simply feeling stuck, this conversation is your reminder that worthiness is your birthright. Content note: this episode includes discussion of childhood trauma, abuse and suicidal thoughts.
