Retreats. Whether it's a business brainstorm at a Yorkshire farmhouse, or a blissful Bali soul cleanse, more and more of us are discovering the delights of going on a retreat... taking time out to refocus, refuel and recharge.
And more and more of the women I speak to have enjoyed the experience so much they are toying with the idea of running one themselves.

How to find the Right Mental Health Support During Menopause with Guest Liz Maughn
Join the Midlife Unlimited® conversation by sending Kate a text
We talk a lot about the physical symptoms of perimenopause and menopause here on Midlife Unlimited®, but the changes we're experiencing go far wider and deeper than this.
The impact on our mental health is huge, as is navigating the potential minefield of getting the right help... and avoiding misdiagnosis of how we are feeling as depression rather than menopause-related.
Midlife Unlimited® is all about having those conversations and ensuring there's no embarrassment in letting others know what we are...

How many mornings is your first thought “Really?” when you recall your seemingly endless list of tasks that await you. It can seem relentless. That constant pull on your energy.
How are we meant to plan ahead when we feel we are constantly chasing our tails?
How can we take control of our Midlife admin?
And how can we learn to recognise when we are trying to control things that are BEYOND our control… or no longer in our realm of respons...

We talk a lot about our own health on Midlife Unlimited. But, just as our health and wellbeing have an impact on those around us, so too we're affected by how the men in our lives are feeling.

Rediscovering our identity plays a huge part in our Midlife metamorphosis. And it's great that how we feel about how we look is at last getting the gravitas it warrants.
For me, and so many of the women I speak to and coach, reimagining our relationship with make-up plays a big part in starting to not just recognise but fall in love with that seeming stranger in the mirror.

I'm often asked why I chose the word "metamorphosis" to describe my own journey, and to encapsulate my coaching. And the answer is simple.
Metamorphosis is more than just transformation.
Because we already have everything we need inside us to become the woman we deserve to be...it's a matter of unleashing it. Our way. On our terms.
So I'm delighted to be joined for this episode by my guest who also favours the word metamorphosis, The Practical Mystic and founder o...
How to Focus on Being Visible Your Way with Guest Albane McGuinness

We talk a lot about visibility on Midlife Unlimited®, and again and again it boils down to not just putting ourselves out there to be see, but actually feeling seen as who we really are. Without feeling that we have to wear that mask to try to fit in, or ward off that fear of judgement... those whispers of not enoughs.
But when we've lost sight of who we really are, this can seem like an impossible dream. How can we unleash the wo...

One of the most amazing results of my own Midlife metamorphosis has been unleashing the ability to laugh at myself. And I love nothing more than helping other women experience this too.
The freedom to not just accept our foibles and failures, but to celebrate them as what sets us apart. What makes us US! To stand up and stand out. To harness the power of humour that lies at the very core our our humanity.

Hats… how many do you wear?

Fake it ‘til you make it…. sounds great in theory. But putting it into practice can leave us feeling icky. Overwhelmed. And it can raise up even more self-doubt and fear of judgement. Feeling like we are not enough. And those “can’ts” keep on coming, as we make even more excuses to ourselves.
