I think a lot of women are put off doing exercise because they get the idea that it needs to be intense to have any benefit. — That it needs to be lifting super heavy weights, running ultra marathons, or spending hours in the gym. Not true! There are soooo many benefits to moving gently but WISELY. Knowing how to train well — in ways that don’t lea…

Have you experienced burnout? Or come close to it perhaps? Burnout is a very real thing and something I experienced in June 2023. We are not taught to slow down, pause and rest.

What would you do with your free time? So often, we spend ‘free’ time giving to others, ticking things off to-do lists, and completing chores.

More on that in another e…

What is your relationship with crying? How does it feel to cry? Many of us (young and old) have been told not to cry, or that it’s not ok to show emotions in that way.

Why does it really help us, as women, to know our body better? Find out in this episode.
