#046 – When your body said ‘no’, with Hayley, founder of ‘The Promise Method’.

Hayley is the founder of The Promise Method, a 66-day daily self-trust practice for capable midlife women whose body no longer tolerates the pace they’ve lived at for years. After her body finally stopped tolerating a lifetime of pushing through, Hayley began keeping one tiny daily promise to herself – a practice she has kept for more than 875 days now. What started as survival, slowly became a method for rebuilding safety, self-trust and connection inside the body. Through honest conversations about midlife, nervous system overwhelm, emotional exhaustion, and hidden cost of always being the capable one, Haley helps women recognise that they are not broken, their body is simply no longer willing to keep overriding itself to survive. Her work is grounded in lived experience rather than performance, helping women move from survival mode toward safety, through tiny repeatable daily actions their body does not resist.   KEY TAKE AWAYS: 00:00 - Introduction and Setting the Stage 00:12 - The Birth of The Promise Method 02:30 - Navigating Health Anxiety and Self-Discovery 05:30 - Understanding the Method: Building Habits 07:39 - The Journey of Self-Trust and Movement 11:29 - Permission to Prioritize Self-Care 13:22 - Family Dynamics and Personal Growth 15:09 - Navigating Emotional Conversations 16:22 - Understanding Beliefs and Emotions 17:15 - The Importance of Sharing Experiences 18:03 - Overcoming Information Overload 18:51 - Listening to Your Body 20:17 - Finding Movement That Resonates 23:19 - Recognizing the Need for Self-Care 24:42 - The Impact of Women's Health Awareness 25:48 - Embracing New Opportunities 28:13 - The Power of Kindness and Community 31:01 - Authenticity in Sharing Your Journey 32:59 - Trusting Your Intuition   USEFUL RESOURCES: Website: www.thepromisemethod.co.uk Instagram:  @thepromisemethod   ABOUT THE HOST: Anel’s passion to help others, is evident from her professional life, having worked extensively within Recruitment, Human Resources, and the Third Sector.
