Take A Breath
A podcast for creating practical calm in the messy middle of midlife.
This is your space to pause.
Because life in midlife is full-on. Between work, family, menopause, and the mental load, your nervous system can easily end up in constant overdrive — leaving you feeling exhausted, reactive, and overwhelmed by even the smallest things.
Each week, I’ll share my own tools, alongside honest conversations and practical nervous system support — to help you create more calm, peace, joy, and inner steadiness. Not by escaping your life, because that’s totally unrealistic, but by meeting it differently.
So when you're ready, let’s take a breath together…

Thursday Thoughts - The Let Them Theory
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
On this week's Thursday Thoughts, Lucy and I are talking about Mel Robbins' Let Them Theory — a simple idea that's all about letting go of the need to control or change how others think, act, or feel, about you or anything else.
The idea is straightforward: when people behave in ways you don't like — whether they doubt you, ignore you, criticise you, laugh at you, disagree with you — your best move is to just...let them.
This approach helps us to stop overthinking, trying to change other people, or taking things personally. It can ease alot of stress and give you the emotional freedom to focus on what really matters — i.e. what YOU do, say, think, and how you act.
Instead of worrying what others think, the Let Them mindset encourages you to put your energy into your own goals, growth, and happiness. It's a simple shift that can make a big difference to how you feel.
It's so easy to apply, and it's something we can all use to feel more peaceful, and live a little happier.
We really hope you'll find something useful in here!
Love,
