Episode 126

Three questions can change the tone of a whole week: What’s your biggest recent win? What’s your biggest recent challenge? What do you need help with? We steal the prompt from a morning listen and put it to the test in real time, with honest answers that feel like a proper catch-up rather than a performance.

We start with wins that actually move the needle, from building a “Wellbeing Wednesday” ritual with Pilates, nature and community, to choosing to stay alcohol free and noticing how often birthdays and celebrations still push drinking as the default. We talk about why self-care can feel weirdly “too luxurious”, and how connection in person hits differently to a screen, even when online classes are convenient.

Then we go into the harder stuff: menopause and perimenopause hot flushes that feel like a public announcement, the mental load of managing symptoms, and the way visibility creates stress at work and in social spaces. We also share the ongoing challenge of post-concussion after-effects that can make the world feel like it’s tilting, plus the frustration of being a “fixer” when there isn’t a neat solution. Finally, we get practical about asking for help, from home organisation and cleaning to business tech and the pain of hiring support that doesn’t deliver.
