Jane and her bestie have another chat whilst Hazel is busy doing the final edits on her book (watch this space).During the last episode Kirsty dropped Jane in it exposing her not so healthy habits in years gone by, worth a listen for a giggle if you haven’t heard it.

If you are a regular listener you will know how good Jane is at talking about being self compassionate and having a holistic approach to health. But in this episode Jane talks about how taking her own advice isn’t always so easy and how her inner demons have popped up in recent weeks following a comment from one of her Dad’s friends about her not being skinny.

Kirsty and Jane pick through this and have a useful reminder that health isn’t about how we look, or what others think and say and how it’s not just about what we eat. But instead that our self worth isn’t based on what others say or think.

A good reminder its about the small things that make all the difference!

In this episode Hazel wasn’t able to join so Jane hosted and invited her best friend Kirsty on to join her. Having been friends for 35+ years there is no one better to divulge Jane’s not so healthy habits over the years.

Kirsty it turns out has a memory much better than Jane’s!

McDonalds in bed, vodka and orange juice for breakfast and rolling in the mud to get out of PE are just a few of the topics they discuss before the conversation moves on to their journey to leading healthier lifestyles.

Some key takeaways (excuse the pun) on this episode. Well for Jane anyway, so enjoy this episode and let us know what your takeaways are.

Anyone feel like they want to just hang out, have some space, get off the treadmill and talk to likeminded people?

Having received some fabulous feedback from their listeners Jane and Hazel announce their intentions to get everyone together later in the year.

Listen on to make sure you can be part of this. As usual lots of topics covered in this episode but the topic that keeps coming up is how challenging it can feel these days to navigate the modern world and how often we just feel a bit stuck!

The complications of navigating the modern world include societal expectations, hormonal changes, low energy, striving for perfectionism, losing your identity or any other number of things and on this episode your hosts talk about their plans to bring you all together to provide a safe space to have a think about what it is you really want!

Have you lost your adventurous spirit because you believe that things should be a certain way, or have you stopped saying what you really need and/or want because you just don’t know or think if you do that you will only be disappointed?

Whatever your answer you need to come and join Hazel and Jane later in the year to have some space to think about what it is you really want and ignore those built in limitations that your mind is creating.

Being able to navigate this needs some space, time and some jolly good company. Coming together to share stories can be so empowering in helping us find our thing again! So drop Hazel or Jane a line if you want to be a part of these amazing days to rediscover what might be!

Life can be challenging enough then your hosts throw in this thing called Perimenopause!!

This episode is for everyone because we all have females in our life and the more, we can normalise talking about female health the better for us all!

Hazel and Jane in this weeks episode delve into the topic of peri menopause, what you might be feeling, what they are experiencing and what you can do to help and why sometimes all you want is wine and chocolate.

Oh hang on that last point isn't always to do with perimenopause...

Lifestyle, hormones, good habits, hormone replacement therapy, bad moods, low energy, zero sex drive amongst many other things are just a few of the topics being discussed on the episode.

How can you decrease some pressures in your life or those around you to give a bit more respect and energy during this stage of life when perimenopause symptoms can be zapping your energy?

Happy listening.

With a focus on the importance of choosing to stretch ourselves to build resilience for when life throws something in that you aren't expecting.

Enjoy the episode and please share with someone who you think needs a bit more energy!

How many times have you said to yourself that you want to do this or you want to do that? But in reality do nothing?

This is something we all do, sometimes because we make our goals unrealistic or the effort to make the change is too much. Perhaps we don’t have the right support around us or we simply don’t know where to start?

But if we really do want to change then we must implement some change!

This episode kicks off with Hazel asking the following question - Jane, why am I feeling so squidgy? So your hosts do a live coaching session to delve into why what Hazel was doing in her 20’s doesn’t seem to be working for her now?

Listen to the episode to understand the impact of our narrative, our stress and energy levels, and the way we talk to ourselves contributes to how we are feeling about the squidge!

There are some great top tips on small and simple changes that you can incorporate into your day which will result in giving you more energy which lets face it has a massive impact on how we are feeling.

This weeks episode gives a recap of Hazels four season half marathon and Jane’s drunken marathon before the two share stories of their best work failures.

Of course Jane struggles with the word failure and tries to put the positive slant on it claiming never to have failed anything except a minibus driving test at University...

The chat goes on to Hazel opening up and talking about how a work failure for her turned into the best thing that could have ever happened. Going from crying in the carpark to gathering her energy to do something to put her on a different pathway.

Most people might come up with 3 things they might tell a younger self but Hazel delves into 7 things!

One key one being around doing the work on yourself, which links to how we all find more energy to deal with the rest of life.

Returning from the sense of failure is the skill we need to develop and this is only something we can do with some energy.

We cover a lot of ground in this episode, we hope it helps in some small way.
