Tune in too for insights and Kim’s top tips for how we can start being kinder to ourselves.And Kim gives details of how she is marking Mental Health Awareness Week with her #24forKindness 24-hour broadcast in aid of Mind on May 11th and 12th.Connect with Kimhttps://www.kindnessforsuccess.co.uk/Support the showI'd love to hear from you - because Midlife Unlimited® is all about YOU! https://buymeacoffee.com/kateporterSupport the show https://www.buzzsprout.com/2417699/support https://www.facebook.com/groups/4035518246684901 https://midlifeunlimitedpodcast.buzzsprout.com for details of my award-winning 1-2-1 and MORE! group coaching program for Midlife women Connect with me https://www.linkedin.com/in/kate-porter-secondspring/https://www.facebook.com/skateporterhttps://www.instagram.com/secondspringlifecoaching/https://www.youtube.com/@MidlifeUnlimitedHere's to to living Midlife Unlimited®b19c0276942dde98656f2638f9c7148efbf54ad9
