Female-ing

Today's show is a deep dive into all the different stages of womanhood.  I am joined by the amazing midwife and women's advocate, Sarah Denning. Sarah and I talk through it all,  emptying the dishwasher, farting, body image and how to be your own best friend.  Sarah, like myself, has worked closely with women for many years and she shares with us her wants for us all and the realties that we all manage every day. This show is a gentle, elegant listen, much like Sarah herself. 

Yep! My favourite subject in the world. Authenticity!!  I am joined by Master coach Ronnie Clifford. Ronnie is my coach and mentor and has been one of the most instrumental and influential women in my life.  We discuss how to stand in who you are, how to live for yourself, how to rid yourself of external pressures and so so much more. I am so excited I get to share her magic and wisdom on this episode. 

Just me today... talking about where we are at globally and personally. And why the work we do here at FEMALE-ING feels more important than ever before 

This week we delve deep into the word "sorry"  What is your relationship with the word itself? Do you only use it when you mean it? or does it come flying out your mouth when it doesn't really need to?  My guest (Lissy Puig) and I explore how we overuse it and why we say it without even thinking.  What are we really apologising for?

Influencer, Life Coach and Body Confidence Activist, Victoria Spence is on today's show .  Victoria shares her story of how she went from a chronic eating disorder and low self esteem - body confidence activist and huge inspiration to thousands of women.  This episode is raw, real and beautifully honest. 

Wow, this episode is a real beauty. I  am joined by the incredible coach Jessica Scott.  Jessica and I delve deep into how women cope, what pressure we put on ourselves, where and why we people please and what effect all this has over our self esteem. I share an incredibly intimate story with Jessica of how I lost myself in a bid to save a friendship and she shares her soul back with me. This is an honest, real and very vulnerable episode. Thanks for listening 

As we hit week 6 of lockdown, all our resources are wearing a bit thin, so what better to explore this week, than "resilience", what it is, why it's important and how the hell to have some!! I  am joined by resilience expert Danny Simmonds who is hilarious and candid in her approach.  Danny gives us some unforgettable analogy's to take away and (if that wasn't enough) I admit to some very personal, VERY relatable thought processes, which were totally unhelpful and the absolute opposite of resilient!  Thank goodness Danny came on the show today to sort my head out as I'm not sure my family could take much more of me :)

I don't know about you but while we've been in lockdown, my "should/shouldn't'' voice has been very active!  "I should be doing more"  "I should be eating better" "I shouldn't drink that glass of wine" "I should be playing with my kids all day" You know the voice! That is why I brought in the heavyweight today to help you and me shut this voice up! Jo Kaye is a mindfulness expert and teacher and she gives us tools and practices to stop this horrid voice

Yep, that's right... we are talking about YOUR self-care. In these uncertain times it is so vital to take care of you, so you can take care of everyone! After all, that's what women do!! We are the glue, so if we don't function, then it impacts everyone around us. The wonderful Stevie B, celebrity stylist, body positivity influencer and champion of women,  joins us again to share with us how she is looking after herself during this lockdown and the reality of her experience every day.  You can find Stevie B over at instagram  https://www.instagram.com/steviebstylefashion/

I am joined by the incredibly dynamic, author and founder of Positive Discipline UK, Joy Marchese. Joy gives some incredible resource in how to parent more positively. Yeh yeh I know, we've heard it all before but seriously this woman knows her stuff!!! Please note this was recorded before we went into lockdown but Joy's practices are more relevant now than ever before.  I share my concerns as a mother, how impossible I find bedtime and what struggles I see happening today. Joy gives us a wise and funny episode and one that is full to the brim of value (now all we have to do is apply it!!!! ) haha she says  You can find more of Joy's work @ • www.positivediscipline.co.uk • www.igrowco.com • instagram.com/busy_working_mum • instagram.com/positivedisciplineuk • instagram.com/igrowco
