Thirty‑Nine Drums and a Permission Shift in Midlife

from Wild, Wise & Curious... · host Michelle Haggerty-Wood & Lou Baker

In this episode of Wild, Wise & Curious, we explore what it feels like to experience a permission shift in midlife - the moment you start choosing differently, listening inward and treating your body with the care it’s been asking for all along. Our guest, Nix, talks about being in a deeply curious place: noticing how her body responds, how it communicates and how rest becomes something to value rather than something to earn. We explore acceptance, self‑worth and the quiet confidence that comes from tuning in rather than pushing through. We also dive into the story of how a single drumming session at a retreat sparked something unexpected - leading from one drum to thirty‑nine and the creation of a local drumming circle that just keeps on growing. It’s a conversation about rhythm, permission, curiosity and the small midlife shifts that change everything (and every time we write permission - we think percussion - ha ha ha). 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts 📺 Or watch the conversation unfold as a video podcast over on YouTube To reach out to Nix:  https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1FS1SBVdCK/?mibextid=wwXIfr   https://www.facebook.com/Enkindlelifecoaching   https://www.instagram.com/enkindlelifecoaching   https://www.enkindlelifecoaching.com/drumcircles   https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-m8PZy7qVP6L46L7LHmFJScnZRd7F4UZ&si=i4hlPHkIZeuMdoLN
