Episode 130

Welcome to our Far 2 Fabulous Summer Foundations Series!

Over the next few weeks, we're revisiting some of our favourite episodes—conversations that continue to shape the way we work with clients every day. If you're new to the podcast, this is the perfect place to start. And if you've been with us from the beginning, it's a great opportunity to listen again with fresh ears.

We begin with one of the very first concepts we ever shared: the Four Legs of the Chair. Imagine your health resting on a chair. If one leg is weak or missing, the whole chair becomes unstable. The same is true for your wellbeing.

In this episode, we explore the key foundations that support long-term health and explain why no supplement, medication or quick fix can replace them. Because before we focus on the finer details, we need to make sure the basics are in place.

Whether your goal is more energy, better sleep, balanced hormones, improved fitness or simply feeling more like yourself again, it all starts here.

Alcohol is everywhere in midlife, the jokes, the cards, the “just have one”, the promise that it will take the edge off. But what if it is quietly taking more than it gives? We sit down with Anna Sudbury, a sober coach and fellow marathon runner, to talk honestly about what made her ditch the drink, how she navigated weddings, work culture, and parenting, and why she now calls sobriety the bravest thing she has done.

We get into the real mechanics, not just willpower. Anna explains why “one drink” can turn into three, how alcohol messes with dopamine, and why early sobriety can feel flat while your brain resets. We also challenge the idea that quitting is only for people with a capital-P Problem. If you are a high-functioning drinker who still wakes up foggy, anxious, regretful, or simply fed up with the mental arithmetic, this chat will land.

You will hear practical ways to make change stick: “play the take forward”, keep the Friday-night ritual without the booze, and stock your fridge like a pub so it feels like choice rather than deprivation. We also talk perimenopause and why alcohol can aggravate hot flushes, sleep, skin flushing, and recovery when you are trying to feel strong. The goal is simple: notice the “glimmers”, protect tomorrow’s joy, and build a life you do not want to escape from.

If this conversation helps, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave us a review so more women can find it. Where are you most likely to feel pressured to drink, and what would make it easier to choose yourself?

A huge thank you to Anna for this extremely honest conversation. You can find Anna on her socials HERE.

You can feel “fine” on paper and still know something is off. That quiet mismatch is where today’s conversation begins, with our guest Kelly Pietrangeli, founder of Project Me, long-time coach, retreat host in Ibiza, and now a Soul Plan practitioner who has read hundreds of charts for women craving clarity. We talk honestly about what happens when you become a mum and suddenly lose the identity you built through work, friendships, and the life you used to live, and how that can spiral into stress, shouting, and feeling like a hot mess behind the scenes.

Kelly shares the practical tool that helped her rebuild: the Project Me Life Wheel, a monthly check-in across health, family, love, work, money, fun, and personal growth. We dig into why balance is not a perfect target, how to spot what is slipping before it becomes a crisis, and why writing things down can unlock momentum. From there, the conversation opens up into synchronicities, journalling questions before sleep, dream tracking, and the “breadcrumb trail” moments that shaped her move to Ibiza and the surprising timing of her 2020 vision becoming real.

We also go deeper into inner wellbeing, from breathwork and meditation to emotional awareness, energy protection, and stepping out of fear-based collective noise. Kelly explains Soul Plan readings and why understanding your talents, challenges, and purpose can stop comparison and put you back in your lane. We finish with a powerful health reality check: osteoporosis, heavy weight training for women, protein, creatine, and the mindset shift that makes strength feel empowering rather than intimidating, plus our favourite time and phone habits to reclaim minutes that actually change your day.

If you enjoy thoughtful wellness with a dash of humour and real-life tools you can use immediately, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave us a review so more women can find the show. What part of the conversation are you going to try this week?
