The Energised Woman Podcast

In this monthly episode of The Energised Woman Podcast with Jo & Han we dive into the complicated relationships we can have as women with our bodies and how we choose to move them.If you are anything like us, growing up in the 90s we were told that we needed to exercise to minimise our bodies. In our 40s we are unlearning and unpicking all of that and learning to move because we love our bodies.Join us as we share openly and vulnerably about the struggles and challenges we have worked through and are still wrestling with to feel good in our bodies and take care of them to feel good not just look good.We would love to hear your feedback on this topic, you can drop me a message and join the Energised Woman movement here:https://www.instagram.com/theenergisedwoman/You can also find me at https://www.facebook.com/theenergisedwomanAnd if you would love more support to live fully alive instead of always exhausted you can checkout my 30 Day Energy Reset: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PeeN8kKoMgMWtne9708-k7nfpVkhkVGH29dPg_ug-nw/edit?usp=drive_linkAnd my gorgeous community: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZwwcVRUE9UFISS2ZmRlyo4PRwjqgb6GFHjSINoZAkgg/edit?usp=drive_linkHere's the link to my seasonal retreat days:  https://www.tickettailor.com/events/thenourishedmindLook after your lovely self and I'll see you back here soon!

Join our monthly chat with pals Han & Jo as we overshare about all things mid life, wellbeing, faith, relationships and juggling the mental load.On this month's episode we look at the blessings & challenges of navigating friendships.What do we do when friendships end or feel hard? How do we make time for friends when life is busy and why is it important? How does our faith inform our friendships?One thing we are sure of is that friendships are worth it. They are the icing on the cake of the crazy ride of mid life and beyond and they are worth our time and investment. I'm so grateful for my friendship with Hannah and for the friends who have been in my life for a little time and a long time and everything they have taught me and added to my life.

- Jobs- Businesses- Kids- Partners- ParentsThen on top of ALL of that we're meant to find time to meal prep, strength train, sleep for 8 hours a night, drink 2L of water, see our friends and get enough protein. Like what the heck?!On this episode of The Energised Women I ask how on EARTH we are meant to do it all as busy women? How are we supposed to take care of everything else as well as our mid life wellbeing?Spolier alert - we can't and we're not meant to - phew right? But we do still want and derserve to show up and take care of ourselves, we just can't do everything all at once.Join me as I share my simple strategy for prioritising ourselves in the midst of busy lives, picking our battles and saying no more so that we can live more alive.I'd love to hear your thoughts, you can drop me a message and join the Energised Woman movement here:https://www.instagram.com/theenergisedwoman/You can also find me at https://www.facebook.com/theenergisedwomanAnd if you would love more support to live fully alive instead of always exhausted you can checkout my 30 Day Energy Reset: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PeeN8kKoMgMWtne9708-k7nfpVkhkVGH29dPg_ug-nw/edit?usp=drive_linkAnd my gorgeous community: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZwwcVRUE9UFISS2ZmRlyo4PRwjqgb6GFHjSINoZAkgg/edit?usp=drive_linkHere's the link to my seasonal retreat days:  https://www.tickettailor.com/events/thenourishedmindLook after your lovely self and I'll see you back here soon!

How do we process the events of the world around us without being overcome or paralysed by them?We don't have all the answers but we do have some ideas.

We all know that what we eat can support our hormones and energy but it can get super confusing knowing exactly what to eat at each part of our cycle to feel our best as busy women That’s why I’ve summarised what I do in this short snappy episode, so save it to come back to when you need it! Listen in as I share simple things to add in at different parts of our cycle that will help to alleviate the more challenging symptoms of our cycle - cramps, low mood & energy, and help us maximise our energy when our hormones are peaking. I also touch on how to move and rest to match our cycle - we are not machines and when we understand and support our cycles we can feel at our best at each stage. These simple habits will also help us at perimenopause and beyond!I'd love to hear your takaways from today's epsidode so let me know how you're implementing them and what is making a difference.

Do you live seasonally? Each season requires us to look after ourselves in a different way. We can't go at the same pace all year round, if we try we'll hit overwhelm and burnout. Winter especially calls us to slow down and nurture ourselves to thrive through the darker, colder months, and even though Christmas is behind us we still have over a month left of this season. On today's episode I'll be sharing how I eat, move, practise self care and connect differently in winter. I hope it gives you some inspiration to embrace the slower pace of this season and to find the magic in it.

When we start a family everything changes. As much as we think we will have a baby and carry on as normal, nothing is ever the same again! Join me as I chat to Sleep Coach Hannah Mason from Dusk to Dawn as we discuss the idea of Matrescence and the physical and mental impact of motherhood. There is no other point in our adult life where we experience such a huge shift in our hormones, bodies, social circle and identities. We can be left feeling lonely, isolated, lost and overwhelmed, and that's before the mum guilt kicks in! Hannah gives us an honest insight in to some of the changes we experience as mothers, as well as some simple ways we can start to rediscover who we are and what we need. This conversation isn't just for the mums! It's for the dad's and friends and daughters to help us understand better how to take care of ourselves and each other. I loved chatting to Hannah about this massively important topic and I know you will love listening in. We'd love you to be part of this conversation and so please get in touch to share your experience of motherhood.

Breathwork is a big buzzword in the wellbeing space right now but if you are like me you may be curious about it, or have dabbled in it, but would like to know more about how to use it as a habit in our wellness tool box. If so you are in luck as we have Jacqui Taylor, writer, coach and yoga teacher, join us for this episode to give us her beginners guide to breathwork. Jacqui discovered breathwork at the start of her journey to become a cancer warrior. We are privileged to have Jacqui share with us how it has helped her on that journey and how she now teaches others how to use it to benefit their wellbeing. Jacqui explains how the power of breath can help us to soothe our frazzled nervous systems, and gives us some simple tips to start our own breathwork journey. My takeaways from our conversations were that just 5 minutes a day is enough to make a big difference and that it could just be the perfect antidote to our busy lives. I'm inspired to add it to my daily habits and I think you will be too! We'd love to hear your takeaways from this episode.

How do you feel about setting goals? Do they help you feel motivated and excited? Or can they leave you feeling disappointed when you don't achieve them? Join my conversation with Claire Moore, owner and director of women's gym Believe & Achieve, as we discuss how setting goals that align with our purpose and vision can be a really positive motivation to help us to improve our wellbeing. Listen as I ask Claire when the best time to set goals (spoiler - it's now!) and how often to review them (often). I love how Claire talks about we are more likely to stick to our goals and keep setting new ones when we create a positive association with them, rather than focusing on what we are losing or missing out on, and I also loved hearing Claire's inspirational back story of how she has created an amazing, supportive community for women in Sheffield. If you are looking for some motivation and inspiration to start moving forward with your goals I know you will love this episode!

Knowing our purpose and understanding our behaviour are key for our wellbeing. Join me as I talk to to certified Enneagram Evie Jenner as she explains how we can use this ancient typing tool to understand ourselves better and accept ourselves more. Listen as Evie describes: - what the Enneagram is - what the different 'types' are - how this tool has helped her and her clients - how we can start this journey to knowing ourselves better and understanding not just 'what' we do but 'why' we do it - how, as women, this journey to self-acceptance can lead to freedom from shame and to understand our purpose in life I absolutely loved talking to Evie, personally I am slightly obsessed with the Enneagram and I'm excited for you to find out more about it and to hear your feedback! Please do let us know what you think - I'd love to know if you discover your 'type' and how it helps you!

How do we heal our brains? And how do they get broken in the first place? We can all pick up scars throughout our lives through our past experiences, disappointments and trauma. These all leave an impression on our brain and can affect our thoughts and nervous system. Join me as I chat to Energy Expert, Author and Alexander Technique Teacher about how, with the right environment and community we can move out of cycles of shame and survival mode and start to heal the scars and find health and hope for the future.

How on earth do we find work/life balance as busy women? Is it even possible? Listen as I chat to no BS business coach, best selling author and fellow podcaster Libby Langley about how we can find that elusive balance and it just might not be how you expect! While we do talk a lot about finding balance as business owners in this episode I really believe that you will find value as an employee, mum or whatever stage of life you are in. Libby talks about how the first step to finding balance is figuring out what you want your life to look like and making conscious choices to help us move towards that. We talk about comparison, purpose and pursuing joy in helping us choose how to order our days and focus our time, and I think you will find some great food for thought from our discussion, especially if you are thinking of making changes in your life or career. I can't wait to hear what your takeaways are!

Welcome back to the Live Life Well podcast! We're thrilled to be back after a summer break with our guest embodiment coach Amy Davies. Amy leads us through her journey going from burnt out business manager to self-connected coach and teacher, and how she has got to a place of 'finding her no' without guilt! Amy and I discuss how as women we are often conditioned to feel like we are not enough, and that something is wrong with is. Join us as we talk about how we can come back to a place of radical self-compassion where we can find peace amidst the ups and downs of life.

Join me as I chat to yoga teacher and movement educator Clare Makin about breaking the taboo of pelvic health and how when we take care of one aspect of our health it positively impacts every area!

Clare also shares her top tips for looking after our pelvic health and they may not be what you think! It's not all about giving our kegel muscles the odd squeeze, but actually how general self care and healthy habits are the best thing we can adopt for our pelvic health and overall wellbeing.

Listen to how you can eat and move and rest to give your body what it needs to feel its best, and to notice if something isn't normal.

I love this conversation with my friend and story coach Claire Tomkins from Five Rubies. As women we can forget how powerful and healing it can be to own and share our stories. We can bury the parts of our story that feels too painful, or believe that our story isn't important or significant enough to share, but as we understand our journey and find the courage to share it, it gives others the strength to share theirs. And we all love a good story!  Claire also helps entrepreneurs and leaders find the right words to share with the world what’s in their hearts, and whether you run your own business or not I know you will be inspired by this episode, and discover how storytelling can support our businesses and wellbeing. Join us to learn: - the importance of living from your values - how all our stories matter, are valuable and powerful - the benefit of storytelling for the teller - the power of storytelling in the context of leadership and business - AND some practical tips to help you get started and share your stories well. You can find out more about the work Claire does here: https://www.fiverubies.co.uk/ Or find her at Claire Tomkins or Five Rubies on social.

Connection. Our lives have become more fragmented than ever through world events, isolation and personal trauma. What impact does this have on our well-being, resilience and nervous system? Join me as I wrestle with the idea of reconnection with Mind Body Expert Carrie Ekins. Carrie is passionate about helping women live glorious lives by letting go of old beliefs and experiences and allowing our bodies and minds to reconnect. She is also a beautiful human being and super fun too! In this episode we talk through the things that can cause us to disconnect from our emotions, bodies and communities, and how powerful it can be when we allow those areas of our lives to come back together. I feel this is such an important and timely topic. I loved my conversation with Carrie and I know you will too!

How does a therapist take care of her own mental health and how would she encourage others to do the same? I explore this question and more with my friend, psychotherapist and wellbeing practitioner Michelle Leeder on this episode of the Live Life Well Podcast. We happened to record this episode on World Mental Health Day so it was only right that I ask Michelle all the hard questions about how we take care of our minds and health as busy women, even when we can't afford therapy. Hint - it includes starting with our own needs first, spending time with those who know more than us, and lots of coffee. I love Michelle's take on slow living - what it is and how we can incorporate it into our lifestyles, having intentional downtime and how doing nothing is always productive. Most of all I love Michelle's heart and humor, and I know you will too! I hope you can take these 30 minutes to slow down and take time for you, because you deserve to take care of yourself as well as you do those around you.

On today's episode we talk about all things money with Financial Planner Frances Ford from Major Oak Wealth Management. As busy women I know how easy it can be to bury our heads in the sand about money matters but it can also be incredibly empowering to look at our financial circumstances and take back control. It can also be of massive benefit to our mental health to share the burden of money worries with someone who can help us take steps to improve our situation. I loved chatting to Frances about how she looks after herself as a busy mum, how we need to push back on the gender pay gap and tax on working mums, and how planning for the future now can save us 20-40% in retirement. Frances gives us some really practical tips on how we can save and make the most of our money now and in the future, and most of all I hope that you hear that whatever your situation is that you are not alone and there is always hope.

With neurodivergent conditions affecting 20% of the population and the average age of diagnosis for conditions such as ADHD in women being around 39 this feels like a really important topic to be talking about.  Join me as I chat to the wonderful Neurodivergent Coach Sue Murphy about her journey to diagnosis at the age of 62 and how she now uses her knowledge to support neurodivergent people. We cover: - how the neurodivergent spectrum affects us directly and indirectly - what conditions come under the umbrella of neurodiversity - how women have had to fight to have these conditions recognised and access support - how to seek out diagnosis and support - how to celebrate our uniqueness and strengths - the link between neurodiversity, mental health and shame - how to thrive regardless of diagnosis As a woman in my 40's exploring a diagnosis of ADHD I found this conversation priceless and I know that whether you are neurotypical or neurodivergent it will inspire you to take better care of yourself and those around you.
