#101 Do You Breathe Like You Should? Learn How to Assess Your Breathing
Have you ever stopped to think about how you breathe? It's something we do unconsciously, around 23,000 times a day! But what if you're not doing it right?
It's thought that over 50% of us are breathing dysfunctionally and studies suggest that up to 75% of people with anxiety also have dysfunctional breathing patterns. And the truth is, even without a diagnosis, most of us could breathe better so that we can feel better.
This week's episode dives deep into dysfunctional breathing, uncovering the reasons behind it and its effects on your well-being.
Most importantly, I teach you how to identify it in yourself by sharing three simple ways to assess your own breathing.
You'll also learn what healthy everyday breathing looks like.
If you're ready to unlock the full potential of your breath? Tune in!

Thursday Thoughts - Complaining
On today’s Thursday Thoughts, Lucy & I are talking about complaining.
We all love a good moan, but there’s a difference between getting something off your chest, and constantly complaining.
We all have a choice as to whether we want to be a ‘drain’ or a ‘radiator’; whether we set the thermostat in the room, or shift our state of being to the temperature of those around us.
We also have a choice about who we allow access to us. Are we surrounding ourselves with people who lift us up, or drag us down?
While it’s normal and necessary to have a good old rant sometimes, it’s important not to allow the negativity of complaining to become our norm.
We hope you’ll find something useful in here.
Love,
Polly & Lucy x

#100 Why And How You Should Step Out Of Your Comfort Zone
We all have those things we want to do, but fear often holds us back. Maybe it's a trip you've always dreamed of taking alone, a new skill you've been wanting to learn, or simply striking up a conversation with someone new.
In this episode, I explore the idea of stepping outside your comfort zone and taking on challenges even when they feel scary.
You'll hear about the fear I experienced recently when I took my first ever solo trip abroad, but also about the excitement, and the powerful sense of accomplishment that comes from doing hard things.
Listen in to hear:
🌟 Why playing it safe can hold you back from amazing experiences.
🌟 How fear can keep you from reaching your full potential.
🌟 Practical tips for getting started with doing "hard things" - big or small!
🌟 How doing hard things can boost your confidence and open up new possibilities.
This episode will leave you feeling inspired to embrace challenges and unlock your potential!

#99 How To Take Control Of Your Heart Health at Menopause with Michelle Routhenstein
Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death globally with more women being affected than men? In the UK, one in eight men and one in 14 women die from coronary heart disease, with more women dying from it than breast cancer.
Falling estrogen levels at menopause, weight gain, high cholesterol, and increased blood pressure can all affect our heart health but the good news is that 80% of cases are preventable through lifestyle changes.
And this is something I chat to this week's guest, Michelle Routhenstein, about. Michelle is a Cardiology Dietitian, Preventive Cardiology Nutritionist, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, and Certified Diabetes Educator and is on a mission to revolutionise heart disease management and prevention.
In this episode, Michelle:
💛 Encourages us to measure the risk factors for our heart health.
💛 Explains how menopause increases women’s risk of heart disease.
💛 Shares the importance of nutrition and other lifestyle measures for heart health.
💛 Breaks down some of the misconceptions about a heart-healthy diet.
This is an important topic that we all need to be aware of as we can determine how healthy our hearts are!
