For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

From burnt-out to lit up: a story of rediscovering balance, joy and creativity 53:42

hace 4 días53:42

53:42

This is a soulful, thought-provoking conversation with Georgie Stewart, an award-winning illustrator artist who I had the privilege of coaching recently. Georgie went from being totally overwhelmed by work (and a sugar addiction) to feeling radiant, joyful and fulfilled. We explore: How it feels to treat your body like a machine that exists to work. Why many of us use overwork as a distraction from uncomfortable feelings. How reconnecting with your inner child is key to thriving. The power of creativity in restoring your energy and balance. This episode is a reminder that your inner glow isn’t lost: it's waiting for you to tune back into it. Georgie's work has been featured in British Vogue and she's collaborated with Apple, HarperCollins and Penguin Random House. She also hosts the Creative Rituals podcast.

What my son taught me about true healing (and what I wish I'd known 20 years ago) 45:25

hace 9 weeks45:25

45:25

On the 5th anniversary of this podcast, I'm revisiting my eye-opening conversation with functional medicine expert, Dr Sarah Davies. You'll hear me share what my younger son suffered as a little boy. Year after year, he was put on increasing amounts of medication that didn't cure him. That's because the experts in charge of his care had no understanding of the role of gut health. His story now drives me to help other families who are feeling helpless. You'll hear us discuss: The body's innate wisdom and ability to heal itself. Why our current medical system is failing patients by not treating the root cause of chronic conditions. How a functional medicine approach is reversing conditions that are deemed to be untreatable. You can hear the full story of what happened to my son in episode 59 of this podcast, "The Medicine of Miracles", with Dr. Mark Hyman. Find it here. Dr Sarah Davies is founder of Functional Nexus and is a passionate educator of both patients and practitioners. You can learn more about her practice here.

Why the weekly Sabbath is the foundation of my wellbeing (and how you can benefit too) 23:07

hace 13 weeks23:07

23:07

Welcome to episode 100 of this podcast! On this milestone episode, it felt right to share the absolute bedrock of my wellbeing: the weekly Jewish Sabbath. I lift the lid on what the Sabbath means to me - and how you can create your own sanctuary in time (you don't need to be Jewish to have a regular day of rest!). In our unpredictable, chaotic, stressful, tech-filled world, a weekly respite is more important than ever. Too much choice is leaving us feeling paralysed, distracted, exhausted, overwhelmed, unfocused and unable to prioritise. The antidote is simple and available to everyone. You'll learn: How limiting our choices for one day a week not only reduces our stress but also increases our clarity and productivity. Why we need a predictable rhythm in order to thrive, with firm boundaries and respite baked into our week. The importance of creating regular rituals that foster close connection with your loved ones. I'd love to know if this episode inspires you to instigate your own day of rest.

Are your words ruining your health? 13:24

Talking to others is a crucial part of our wellbeing: particularly if we're struggling with something and need a compassionate, listening ear. But our tongue can cause us - and others - significant harm. If we use our power of speech to gossip, complain or put ourselves down, that has a negative impact on our own wellbeing - not to mention the effect is has on other people. In this episode, I help you to become more aware of what is coming out of your mouth - and how that might be attracting negative energy into your life.

In this episode, I spill the beans on what I learnt during my many years working in PR for the food industry. I thought I'd re-share this, following my recent appearance on the BBC film "Irresistible: Why We Can't Stop Eating". During those years in PR, I gained a first-hand insight into how we're being manipulated into eating foods that gradually destroy our health. This is information that we ALL need to know if we want to protect our health - and the health of our family.

It sounds far-fetched to go from feeling toxic and self-hating - to feeling calm and positive...within 6 weeks (without any drugs or expensive interventions). That was precisely the experience of Abbe Meek, a 52-year-old mum of two who hit menopause and fell to pieces. Abbe tweaked her morning routine - and was astonished to discover that it transformed her life and her relationship with her family. Have a listen to my chat with Abbe to hear the tiny, gentle change she made to get back to feeling like herself.

I don't know about you...but I often feel like I'm constantly behind and racing just to stay still. That changed over the course of this summer, when I did a 7-week social media detox (I intended to do 6 weeks but was enjoying it so much that I've stayed away from being 'out there' for an extra week). In this episode, I share how I've gained a huge boost of clarity, headspace and perspective. You'll hear how I've cut out lots of things from my life that were draining me and overwhelming me. I also share how I cleared out a load of old stuff from my house...and the precious thing that I discovered hidden under all the clutter. I'm grateful to have moved into September feeling lighter, more present and far more in control of my time, my focus and my energy. I hope that listening to this episode inspires you to do some decluttering of your own. I'd love to hear from you if so.

With the frenetic, back-to-school period about to kick in, I thought I'd re-share with you some guidance on how to stay grounded in the face of so much stress. This chat with Terri Creeden will make you think differently about what it means to lead your family. She shares how essential it is that we engage in self-care so that we have the capacity to help our family members to fulfill their own potential in life. Terri is a certified executive coach, trainer and facilitator. She believes in embracing slowness in our lives and leading with courage. She co-founded Grounded Parents Group with Sanela Lukanovic as an act of rebellion, after seeing how difficult it is for parents to find a space for their own self-development. Since the original podcast was recorded, Grounded Parents Group has opened up and expanded its personal development to parents and non-parents alike at www.selfdom.life .

The invisible barriers that are sabotaging you (re-release) 56:43

I'm delighted to re-share this eye-opening conversation on a topic which affects ALL of us. As you'll hear Gwyneth Moss explain, we have all picked up limiting beliefs when we were young children. These limiting beliefs (also known as "false truths") are often what are sabotaging us as adults. In this episode, you'll learn how false truths dictate our thoughts, behaviours and life choices...without us even being aware of them. I've been fortunate to have trained in EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) tapping with Gwyneth. I think you will love her straight-talking wisdom. Gwyneth teaches people how to use tapping to help themselves, to help others, to help children and even to help animals. Find out more about her work at https://efthelps.com .

This is a re-release of episode 56 of my podcast. - and one of my favourite conversations. If I could persuade everyone to adopt just one habit, it would be a daily gratitude practice. It's no exaggeration to say that this is a practice that transforms people's lives on every level. This is a deeply uplifting conversation with the inspirational Holly Bertone. Holly discovered the power of gratitude after she was hit by a double whammy of chronic diseases which took her from over-achieving high-performer to bed-ridden and unable to function. Whatever challenges you are currently facing in life, this conversation will empower you to start reaping the remarkable benefits of gratitude. The research is unequivocal: gratitude transforms our emotional health, helps us to recover from past traumas, builds our resilience and improves our physical health too. Holly's approach is gentle and kind: she shows you how to start to build gratitude into your life, no matter how difficult that might seem. Holly is a best-selling author, sought-after speaker and gratitude coach. As a breast cancer and autoimmune survivor, she helps women to unwrap their resilience. She is President and CEO of Pink Fortitude and founder of Fortitude.Academy. She is a Project Management Professional and holds a Masters Degree from Johns Hopkins University. She is also a Certified Natural Health Professional.

You might be feeling stuck, frustrated and taken for granted - you might be feeling that life is passing you by, and that it's too late for you to create the life you want. I hope that this episode gives you hope that midlife is a golden period of opportunity to shake up your life and redesign it in a way that fulfils you. This is a very deep, soulful conversation with a wise, inspiring midlifer, Michelle Salon. Michelle is a mum of four who went from feeling depleted, overwhelmed and insecure to landing her dream job and letting go of the people-pleasing that was draining her. We discuss how the perimenopause can make us feel insecure in our career; the challenges of claiming time for ourselves; how the need for validation can hamper us; establishing boundaries around the time we give to others; finding joy in creative activities; and manifesting what we want out of life. It's been a joy to walk this journey with Michelle and watch her begin to blossom and thrive. It's so empowering to hear a real-life story of positive change in midlife: I hope that listening to Michelle will inspire you too to follow your dreams.

In this (the final episode in this season of Midlife Illuminated) I share something that every woman needs. Particularly in midlife, when we are overwhelmed by the needs of others. It's the need to return to ourselves. In the classic book Women Who Run With The Wolves, this is described as "homing". With thanks to Clarissa Pinkola Estes - author of Women Who Run With The Wolves - for enlightening me on the need for homing. I hope this episode gives you the permission you need to do your own homing. I'm now starting a quiet time of no podcasting and no social media posting. To find out how transformative this was last year, listen to episode 68 of this podcast ("I saw the light! Here's how.") You can find it here: https://pod.co/midlife-illuminated/tuning-out-others-and-tuning-into-yourself Lastly, I'd like to say a big thank you for tuning in - I'm so grateful for you choosing to join me here. I look forward to sharing more illuminations with you when I'm back for season 5 (make sure you've hit the subscribe button to hear the new season). Wishing you a wonderful summer!

Why I'm refusing to be a martyr 19:12

hace 2 years19:12

Women have always been conditioned to put their own wellbeing last. Research shows that their pets get better care than they do. Pets are wonderful companions: they need and deserve our care. But don't we deserve some care too? Research has also shown that this "me-last" conditioning leads to serious consequences when it comes to our health outcomes. For our sakes AND the sake of our loved ones, let's rip up this script and begin a new one. I hope this episode gives you the inspiration to rethink your priorities and discover what lights YOU up.

The secret to ENJOYING getting healthy 27:39

Getting yourself healthy doesn't have to be hard work. It can actually be, yes, pleasurable! Here's my Peppermint Tea chat with Katy Grele, a 51-year-old mum who has come through breast cancer. Katy wasn't interested in doing any more short-lived, quick-fix diet plans. She wanted to adopt healthy habits to see her through the menopause...and the rest of her life. And she has surprised herself by actually enjoying this process. I hope that listening to our Peppermint Tea chat reassures you that you can also make the lifestyle changes you'd like to.

Why I'm thinking about the end of my life 21:17

Ever tried a quick-fix way to lose weight or feel better or look younger? Ever tried a wellness gimmick that promised overnight miracles? We need to think beyond the short-term. We need to think about how we'd like to feel and live in the last years of our life. I hope this episode gives you a different perspective on weight loss, ageing - and on caring for yourself.

hace 2 years25:01

There's a crisis amongst women at work. Burnout is the no. 1 reason why women are leaving (or planning to leave) their job. I've been there myself. My mental and physical health suffered when I tried to juggle a high-stress PR job with caring for very young children. I talk through why we're at breaking point - and what you can do to protect yourself from burnout. If this episode strikes a chord and you have your own story to share, drop me a note.

What I learnt in Greece - and why we've misunderstood "diet" 20:38

hace 2 years20:38

I'm just back from a sailing holiday in Greece. It rained a lot...but at least the food was fabulous. I thought I'd share with you what I've learnt about the fabled "Mediterranean diet". As you'll hear, food is SO much more than fuel - and the Mediterranean diet is SO much more than what's on our plate. I hope this episode gives you practical, simple tips on adopting a health-boosting Mediterranean lifestyle...wherever you live.
