    EP35: You’re as READY as you’ll ever be! [S3E11] (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    You know all those social media posts you save to revisit at sometime in the future then you completely forget about them? Are you doing the same thing with your dreams? A few weeks ago I spoke to a group of aspiring podcasters, and our conversation got me thinking about how often we wait for the right time or the right resources. Like there's going to be some magical moment when you finally feel ready... I know this one well. And one year into my own podcasting journey, I've learned that you ca

    EP34: What if you stopped getting in your own way? [S3E10] (opens the original)

    Read excerpt

    In this week’s conversation, I’m joined by Nicole Klassen, who made a move from Muizenberg to McGregor after feeling a deep call to return to her maternal ancestral lands. She had no idea what would unfold. She trusted what she was sensing and followed it anyway. A year later, that decision has led to Beauty School, a community-based project working with young womxn, nature, traditional knowledge and the wisdom of the body, alongside the evolution of her own work around purpose, belonging and an

    EP33: Make room for JOY [S3E9] (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    There’s been grief, overwhelm, exhaustion and a whole lot of holding it together, but we made it through Eclipse season! I’ve been noticing how easily joy gets pushed to the bottom of the list. So in this week’s voice note, I’m talking about why I’ve started thinking of JOY as a revolution, what dancing every day for the past couple of months has taught me, and why I’ve created the Joy Movement inside The Midlife Experiment . What if joy isn’t something we wait for? What if it’s something we del

    EP32: Are you willing to forgive yourself? [S3E8] (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Today is the last day of Leo Szn, and I’ve been dancing for 15 minutes every day for 52 days!! In this week's voice note, I'm reflecting on what taking a longer daily dance break has taught me about willingness, uncertainty and my connection to my Future Self. And how, on the night of the solar eclipse, I woke up with 2 words ringing very clearly in my head - forgive yourself. I share the practice that came out of that experience, because it might be exactly what you need to get out of your own

    EP31: Permission to be REAL and RAW [S3E7] (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    It’s eclipse season! And in this week's voice note, I share why I want this podcast to become a space for real, raw vulnerability. A place where I can navigate my next evolution in real time. Unfiltered, and maybe even a little unhinged. Social media can feel so performative. We're surrounded by highlight reels and people who seem to have everything figured out. I'm no longer interested in adding to that. Instead, I want to create a space where I can bring my weird, share my frustrations and my
