In this episode of Thursday Thoughts, Lucy and I are talking about releasing and letting go as we move towards 2026.

We cover releasing through breathwork, letting go of the judgement of others, as well as how perfectionism can sometimes be procrastination in disguise.

We hope you’ll find something useful in here!

Love,
Polly & Lucy x

On this week’s Monday Motivation, Lucy and I are talking about how it doesn’t matter how much personal development work we do if we don’t actually do the thing.

You can learn and reflect endlessly, but real change only happens when insight becomes action.

We dive into how growth takes time and consistent practice. It asks for patience, repetition and putting in the reps, even when progress feels slow or subtle.

We also challenge the belief of “I don’t have time”. Because often, it’s not time we’re lacking… it’s prioritisation. And when something truly matters, we do find a way to make space for it.

This episode is a reminder that only you can create the changes you’re longing for — and yes, there’s a little tough love in there, but only because we know action is what works.

We hope there’s something in here that supports you this week.

Love,

Polly & Lucy x

How do we actually age well?
Not just living longer, but feeling strong, clear-headed and energised into our 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond…

My guest is Dr Nathalie Beauchamp (Dr Nat). She’s been a practising chiropractor for almost 30 years, she’s certified in functional medicine, and she’s written six books. She’s a master at taking all the complex health information out there and turning it into something simple, doable, and actually realistic for your life.

In this episode we talk about:

✨ What optimal health really looks like

✨ What biohacking actually is and what it looks like for women in midlife

✨ The difference between healthspan and lifespan

✨ Why strength training is the ultimate longevity tool

✨ Tracking tools: when it’s useful and when it messes with your head

✨ Toxic load and how to reduce it without losing your mind

✨ Why you do not need a 3-hour morning routine

This episode is packed with simple, doable shifts that make a huge difference over time.

On today’s Thursday's Thoughts, Lucy and I are talking about the difference between thoughts and thinking, thanks to a book that I have been reading called Don’t Believe Everything You Think by Joseph Nguyen.

We all have thoughts - between 60,000 and 70,000 each day - but we get to choose which of those thoughts we want to entertain into actual thinking, and which of those we don’t.

Lucy and I talk about how we’ve both worked hard on our own thinking over the last few years. We also discuss some of the practical steps you can take in order to become more aware of what’s going on between your ears, including getting into a wonderful ‘flow state’ that gets us out of our thinking brain and into the present moment, and moving your body to shift your energetic state.

We really hope you’ll enjoy this conversation.

Love,
Polly & Lucy x

On this week’s Thursday's Thoughts, Lucy and I are talking about not waiting for the wake-up call before you begin living in a way that truly supports your wellbeing.

We discuss how the simple choices you make every day shape your health, your energy and your sense of aliveness.

And how change doesn’t have to be dramatic - it can start with one small choice at a time.

This is a gentle reminder that you don’t have to reach burnout, a crisis or rock bottom to choose differently. You can start right now.

We really hope you'll find something useful in here.

When you’re ambitious, responsible, and constantly holding space for others —
your own needs, goals, and joy can slowly slip to the bottom of the list.

This week on the podcast, I’m joined by Danielle McGeough — professor, speaker, mum, and self-leadership coach for high-achieving women. Danielle blends research, lived experience, and playful experimentation to help women reclaim their time and reimagine how they approach planning and productivity.

Together, we explore what becomes possible when you stop chasing discipline and start leading with clarity, curiosity, and nervous system safety.

We talk about staying organised without burning out, reconnecting with what actually matters, and why planning starts with self-trust - not pressure.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why most traditional planning systems fail working mums - and what actually helps
• How to build structure that supports your nervous system, not overloads it
• What it looks like to set goals from a place of calm, not cortisol
• The power of mini rituals and micro-moments to anchor your day
• Ways to return to your goals when life gets messy

On today’s Thursday Thoughts, Lucy and I are talking about how long we allow ourselves to dwell on things that aren’t serving us; in other words, where we’re placing our attention.

How often do you actually notice where your mind is at any given moment? And how often do you find yourself ruminating on something that isn’t making you feel good? Perhaps you had an argument with a friend, or maybe you’re worried about an email from your boss. Are you still thinking about it three days later?

Lucy and I talk about why it’s so incredibly important to bring more awareness to our thoughts, and to consciously choose to shift our focus onto something else, rather than obsess over things that are completely out of our control.

Of course we need to feel our feelings - and of course some things are much bigger and more serious than others - but in the day to day of life, how long do you tend to dwell on a conversation, event, or incident that is making you feel bad?

We hope you’ll find something useful in here.

Love,
Polly & Lucy x

Wondering where your confidence has gone?

You’re not alone. So many of us at midlife have spent years proving, pleasing, and performing — and somewhere along the way, we lose touch with who we really are.

In this episode, I’m joined by Sarah Snape, a midlife and confidence coach who’s walked this path herself. After years of self-doubt and people-pleasing, she realised there had to be more to life than ticking boxes and blending in.

Now, she helps women rebuild confidence from the inside out — and in this conversation, she shares how.

You’ll hear:

• Why confidence often fades in midlife — and how to rebuild it
• The mindset shifts that make the biggest difference
• How to stop waiting until you feel “ready” and take empowered action
• Simple ways to stretch your comfort zone and say yes to new opportunities
• Why confidence isn’t about being loud — it’s about being true to yourself

If confidence feels like something you’ve lost or never fully owned, this episode will remind you how to find it again.
