On today's Thursday Thoughts, Lucy and I are talking about the importance of having fun.

Fun is essential for living a good life, especially with everything that's going on in the world at the moment. But fun can look very different for everyone (Lucy and I have very different ideas of what fun is!), and that's ok.

Whether fun for you is a work 'away day' playing rounders in the park, or a quiet dinner with your bestie, it all matters. And we need to be intentional about incorporating more of it into our lives.

We hope you'll find something useful in here!

Love,

Polly & Lucy x

Ever find yourself snapping at the smallest thing — and then instantly regretting it?

In this solo episode, I unpack the real reason irritability spikes in midlife — especially for women juggling perimenopause, invisible loads, and nervous systems that never get a moment’s rest.

I explore:

• Why you’re not “overreacting” — you’re overcapacity
• The link between chronic over-breathing and emotional reactivity
• What the snap moment is really showing you (it’s not failure, it’s feedback)
• How to gently widen your Window of Tolerance using breathwork, cold exposure, and more
• What it means to feel resourced enough to respond instead of react — and how to build that inner capacity

If you’ve ever said, “I don’t want to be this reactive, but I don’t know how to stop,” this episode is your moment of pause, permission, and possibility.

On today's Thursday Thoughts, Lucy and I are talking about making decisions.

There is nothing worse than the pain of indecision. You go back and forth, driving yourself crazy by not deciding. And the truth is that you're never going to know if you've made the 'right' or 'wrong' decision until you've actually made it.

In this conversation, Lucy and I talk about our own experiences of decision making, how making decisions quickly is a skill, and why ultimately, whatever decision we make, we will always learn and grow. Plus, even if we make a so-called wrong decision, nothing is set in stone and we have to power to change things.

As with so many things, fear is often what's holding us back from making a decision; but when we find the courage to move through the fear and take action, we move forward. Whereas indecision only keeps us standing still.

We hope you'll find something useful in here!
