In this episode we discuss how to balance striving vs letting go. This is easier said than done, especially in today’s ‘always on’ society. The expectations we place on ourselves have multiplied and it can lead to a great deal of unhappiness and even burnout.

So we walk you through some key insights, hopefully providing you with some ideas on how to achieve your goals and aspirations, but also feel a sense of contentment and peace. After all, life isn’t about the success we achieve and our possessions, but more about what we learn and who we become on life’s glorious journey!

Making a career change at any point in your life can feel scary or overwhelming, but in midlife we may have career changes forced upon us - or we may just realise that what we are doing isn’t lighting us up.

In this episode I, James am joined by Patrick Reid who at the age of 38 gave up a successful career in television to move into something in which he had no experience - trading on a futures desk in The City.

Patrick started as an apprentice and then worked his way up to managing millions of pounds. Today Patrick runs Adamis Principle which helps people transition to a trading career - even getting their own desk in The City if they want.

I talk to him about he made his decision, how that played out for him and how he helps people today. I do hope you find this interesting and enjoyable.

In this episode, I Claire, go solo, talking about my fitness and health journey over the past 18 months.

It’s been really up and down and I want to share what forced the change, as well as what I learnt and what I had to let go of.

There was a sort of personal identity for me around fitness and health and going through these shifts was humbling but incredible for my self growth.

Sometimes we just see people’s highlight reels, and my hope is that you feel seen and heard via my story.

As life progresses, it’s easy to fall into a routine with your partner—going through the motions of daily life, handling responsibilities, and sharing the same space. But sharing space doesn’t necessarily mean you’re sharing a connection.

By midlife we can begin mistaking proximity for intimacy, believing that just being physically present is enough to maintain a strong relationship. However, true intimacy requires much more than simply being near each other.

In this episode we dive into proximity versus intimacy, talk about our own experience and as ever give tips you can action to start making positive changes in your relationship.

Being a parent isn’t easy, and being a modern father carries its own set of challenges. Larry Hagner spent half of his childhood without a father figure in his life and the other half with toxic father figures that came and went.

He made one decision as a young boy, and it was that his kids would know who their father was. Larry knew firsthand the devastating effects of growing up without a positive father figure in his life and used this to create the Dad Edge community.

Larry is now a successful podcaster, best selling author and runs programmes for men to step up and be the best that they can be as a partner, a parent and man.

Talking to Larry was truly inspiring and I’m sure this episode will resonate with many of you.

In this episode we discuss the concept of time and how we spend it - in particular how we’re in an endless pursuit of trying to be productive, only to feel like we’re failing. The truth is there will always be more to do, and they’ll always be things you can’t achieve.

Accepting that we are limited beings and deciding to focus on what’s truly meaningful, is where we can begin to experience peace. We also chat about the importance of taking time out to daydream, and avoid the pull of constant distractions that only serve to leave us empty.

We hope you enjoy this one as much as we enjoyed recording it.
