Send us a text Psychotherapist Jennifer Cox and relational dynamics coach Salima Saxton from Women Are Mad are absolutely brilliant! In this episode, I sit down with them both to explore the fascinating world of copycats. We delve into what’s beneath the behaviour, why copying can cause such a stress response in the person being copied and then look a little closer at the concepts of mirroring with regard to identity, fitting in, and belonging. This conversation touches on self-worth, vulnerability, and some uncomfortable truths around envy. I simply loved this discussion as Jen and Salima’s energy is so infectious - we had a lot of fun filming this so I hope you enjoy too. Happy listening.

We discussed the importance of the relationship we have with ourselves and how it influences every other relationship in our lives. It really does start with us. Jillian and I also talked about her new book, It Begins With You, which provides a powerful roadmap for doing the work to love ourselves and, ultimately, find the love we deserve. This conversation is especially meaningful because of Jillian’s personal journey. She speaks from the heart, which brings such authenticity and depth to what she shares. In this episode, she gently guides us to: •Choose ourselves first. •Understand how our relationships teach us about our fears, patterns, and beliefs. •Take responsibility for our role in relationships. •Navigate partnerships with emotionally unavailable partners. •Recognize the importance of repair work in relationships. •Cultivate a healthy relationship with ourselves. •Quiet the "monkey mind." •Move beyond solely focusing on attachment theory. •Make peace with our parents. •See that it’s us and our partner against the problem—not us versus each other. • This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to deepen the relationship they have with themselves and improve their connections with others.

Send us a text The choices we make today lay the foundation for our health as we age. In fact, our midlife health is one of the strongest predictors of our long-term well-being. It really matters. Lavina inspires us to take action now, with her contagious optimism and enthusiasm shining through. I absolutely loved our conversation. Drawing on evidence-based research, Lavina shares that just 11 minutes of movement a day can significantly improve our health. Considering the average person in the UK spends 10 hours a day sitting, Lavina offers practical ways to reduce this sedentary behaviour and prevent the physical decline often associated with ageing. In this episode, we cover: How maintaining serotonin and dopamine levels supports mental health as we age. The critical role of movement during perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. Staying motivated and building a personalized movement toolkit. Reframing how we think about exercise. Strategies to preserve energy and maintain independence long-term. Managing brain fog and optimising brain function as we age. Practical tips and resources for living a healthier, happier life. This conversation goes far beyond movement. Lavina brings a holistic perspective on how to protect and enhance both our physical and mental health for years to come.
