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.

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!

Hear how stress and hormones can play a part in how much we drink, and how we can experience life in a whole knew way when we choose to do it sober.

Please know that this is a safe place to explore topics like this without shame and judgement, we are all on a journey but with the right information we can make the best decisions to live a long and healthy 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!

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?!

Join me as I chat to health & productivity coach Sarah-Jane Ladums from the Fit Productive Mum podcast as we discuss some important issues we face as busy women.

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

We also dig in to the topic of cycle tracking - something like me you might have heard about or be interested in but don't know lots about.

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,
