The Live Life Well Podcast for Busy Women

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. Lucy also explains how the language we use for ourselves or others can heal or harm us, and how connection is key to holistic health. Lucy has a wealth of experience and knowledge in helping people find body, mind and soul health and I found our chat fascinating - I know you will too!

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. We also delve in to why we often to say 'yes' when we mean 'no' and how to start making decisions that truly benefit ourselves and others. I loved our conversation and I know you will get some great takeaways!

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! I loved our conversation around taking care of ourselves as we get older as our responsibilities increase and our free time decreases, and how we can feel well in to our forties and beyond. 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. Isn't it amazing how are bodies are so interconnected?!

Sarah-Jane shares her journey from burnt out teacher to building healthy habits which allow her to be a fit, productive mum herself.

Sarah-Jane talks us through the different stages and seasons of our 4 week menstrual cycle, how each phase affects us and how we can take care of ourselves in each stage. 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. Our hormones play such an important role in our physical and mental health and we need to be having these conversations to know that we are not alone in what we experience and how we can advocate for our needs as women, You can stay in touch with Sarah-Jane here: About (podia.com) and listen to her podcast here:FIT PRODUCTIVE MUM | Fitness, Weight Loss & Time management for moms | Quick home fitness, Simple nutrition, metabolism boost on Apple Podcasts I would love to stay connected!

I coudn't wait to have Life Coach for Women in STEM, Natalie-Claire Luwisha, on the podcast to quiz her about her secrets to organising her time and managing her busy schedule. Natalie-Claire helps ambitious women in STEM achieve their goals so that they can be happy and successful alongside building a successful career in STEM (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) herself.
