ep56. Saraswati Hancock. The Deconstruction, Creativity and Clarity Of Midlife.
Saraswati Hancock is talking to us about midlife, aka around the time of menopause, the change, or the pause as I like to refer to it.I invited Saraswati to offer us a balanced perspective of this time when we are changing. As much as we may not want to move into the next stage of life, we may resist it, and now the story is to “fix” it, but none of these work. They just cause more angst in our life, our body and soul.Saraswati shares about adopting the mantra of let go, that we are losing nothing we are changing and becoming another part of ourselves. We talk about creativity, sexual energy and different ways on what helped her walk through it.Links & Recommendations Saraswati Hancocks websitehttps://www.heartwaysyoga.com/Her 9 month programme https://mailchi.mp/fdb46cec55b6/heart-of-the-feminine-yoga-therapy-for-womens-radiant-wellbeingYoga Mandala Project https://www.yogamandalaproject.org/Saraswati Hancock Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/c/saraswati108She also mentioned Uma Dinsmore-Tuli and her book Yoni Shakti https://www.yoganidranetwork.org/product/yoni-shakti-paperback-kindle/And for herbs Susan Weed

Vicky Etherington joins us this week to share with us life a a military wife, how they moved 12 times in 11 years, raising kids sometimes solo parenting for long periods and how incredibly supportive the military community is to each other.

She has continued conservation work for over 20 years which is a reminder to keep our own identity and to keep doing what is important to us. This is a great conversation!

ep54. Penny Moyses. Mothering & Working The Way That Works For Me, Indecision & What's Enough
I welcomed Penny Moyses to our community of women this week . Penny shared with us the pivot she made post covid in how she was mothering her first child. She challenges the definition of balance, and what that means every day, how she lives and works cyclically not in the linear fashion that society is mainly built on but in a way that works for her children, herself and her business. We talked about indecision (where I had a breakthrough!) and how much energy that takes up, about getting to know yourself, celebrating yourself and knowing when enough is enough. I loved this conversation and as you will hear from Penny she is very open and curious so if you want to reach out to her about any of this please do. All are welcome to her event Home Life & You in October London, UK.

ep53. Menopause - Less Fear Spreading & More Pausing Please!
The current conversation about menopause is lopsided. While it’s great it is finally getting air time and we are all getting more information about it - there is too much fear around it. For the women that are entering or in this time please listen to this weeks episode and choose for yourself how your want your journey to be. It isn’t all symptoms and doom and gloom. Far from it, it offers so much more this time of pause, change, transformation, being the wise woman and so much more. Let's face it with a gentleness, an openness and see what happens. Nothing is 100% predetermined. You have a choice how you wish to go through it.

A place to hear from real women a pivotal experience in their life. The conversations reflect all the challenges, joys, twists and turns of life and most of the women are not known in the public eye. They are women like you and me, who are sharing sometimes vulnerable and deeply personal experiences, in the hope that it helps another women going through a similar situation. For me every conversations holds a a blessing, a gift and an opportunity for us to connect and know we have each other.
