Midlife Muddle – Midlife Crisis?

October 11, 2024 44:49

What does the term “Midlife Crisis” mean to you? Are you going through one or been through one? Is it something we all go through as we navigate midlife?

Midlife is a time when we have increased responsibilities and can become overwhelmed with decisions whilst often distracted with other people’s problems. We also begin to question the life choices we’ve made.

Patrick and Michelle discuss their different interpretations on the midlife crisis label and offer tips on what has worked for them including, how to ignore inevitable judgmental eye-rolls and Michelle’s approach to the topic with her coaching clients.

This episode puts a fresh perspective on the cliches and stereotypes that surround the term midlife crisis.

Midlife Muddle – Let’s check in

October 11, 2024 30:31

Do you ever take the time to stop for a minute, and think about the last few weeks or months and what’s happened in your life or more precisely what you’ve achieved?

There are no rules with timing and we can be rubbish at remembering but we want to get better and help you do the same.

So this is our offering based on the first half of 2024. To help us add value we’ve linked our reflections to Patrick’s Midlife to 100 life pillars that he’s chosen as key to living a long and healthy life. They are:- physical health, mental wellness, sleep, nutrition and social interaction/relationships.

We discuss how we’ve stayed connected with family and old friends, both at home and abroad; we reflect on some personal achievements and how the simple things in life, like gardening, dogs and sleep keep us sane in our busy world.

Have a listen and then take a minute to think about what you’ve achieved during the first half of the year. We promise you’ll be pleasantly surprised plus it will help generate thoughts and ideas as to your plans for the year ahead.

So let’s ‘talk on to walk on’ and see where it leads…

Live your life without limits – Andy Grant

October 11, 2024 1:20:46

What were you doing 15 years ago? On 3rd February 2009, our latest life chat guest, Liverpool born, Honorary Royal Marine Colonel, Andy Grant, was blown up in Afghanistan alongside his fellow Marine commando, Iain Syme.

Andy was just 20 years old when he suffered 27 horrific injuries, was in a coma for 2 weeks, and woke to be told he could no longer have children. 18 months of tough rehabilitation followed before Andy made the agonising, life changing decision to have his seriously injured leg amputated.

Not only did Andy face the challenge of having to learn to walk again he has gone on to become;
• World record holder as the fastest single leg amputee over 10km
• Double gold medal winner at Prince Harry’s Invictus Games going on to run marathons, learning to ski and surf and conquering the highest of mountains.

Andy is in training for the one of the hardest ultra-marathons in the world, the Marathon des Sable and despite being told he could never have children, he is the proud father of his “greatest achievement”, his beautiful daughter, Alba.

Andy’s story is documented in his superbly-titled book “You’ll Never Walk” and his story begins at age 12, when he faced life without his beloved mum who passed away from leukaemia. Andy shares beautifully how his mum and family have been, and continue to be, his main source of strength and inspiration throughout his incredible challenges.

Now as an accomplished motivational speaker, Andy inspires people of all ages around the world to believe that anything is possible. If ever there was a story to make us not only open up but get us off our backsides to walk on and live life to the max, it’s this one.

Midlife Muddle Habits

November 22, 2023 00:45:38

Our first Midlife Muddle episode gave an overview of the importance of mindset and touched on how the narrative around midlife is finally changing from doomy gloomy to one of opportunity.

Whilst it’s all very well reading the headlines around “creating the life we want” and “finally being comfortable in our own skin” the reality is it doesn’t always feel that way. This is especially true if we don’t have at least a few good habits to help get us through the days when our joints are aching, we’re exhausted or we’re cracking up because, for the 10th time, we’ve forgotten where we’ve put our glasses or why we came up the stairs…

You will know which habits you either need to ditch or which habits you need to work on but if you want to hear our midlife habit experiences, ideas and top tips to not only survive but thrive in midlife and hopefully beyond then…

Let’s ‘Talk on to Walk on’ and let’s see where it leads…

Dare to dream whatever your age

November 22, 2023 00:57:06

Nic Byrne sees possibility everywhere.
Approaching 20 years as a serial entrepreneur and alongside her business partner, she employs 40 people across her Urban Calm salons, training academy and spa with a purpose, Mini Madams.
Those of us who know and love Nic will think of words such as “resilience”, “grafter”, and “smart”.

Nic is now taking all that business and life experience and channelling it into her latest purposeful venture, Girls with Dreams Club.
The aim is to provide much needed support and guidance to girls throughout their challenging teenage years so they can go out into the world with the confidence to pursue their dreams.

As well as her talking about the reasons behind launching Girls with Dreams we discuss:
• The power of our network, working together for the greater good
• The realities of achieving success through hard work and
• Hacks to maintain a motivated, positive and purposeful state of mind as we transition into and through midlife.
Describing herself as an accidental entrepreneur, Nic Byrne is the epitome of what’s needed to walk on and go after your dreams, whatever your age.
I am delighted to be supporting her to spearhead a project to encourage and prepare the next generation of fabulous females to do the same.

Let’s ‘Talk on to Walk on’ with Nic and let’s see where it leads.

Midlife Muddle

November 5, 2023 00:39:12

Have you ever heard anyone actually say, “I can’t wait to get to 40, 50 or 60…”?
Whatever age you are, are you in denial about the prospect of midlife, or refusing to acknowledge you’ve hit midlife let alone begin to embrace the opportunities that midlife presents?

Regular listeners will recall us asking our guests about their midlife mindset so we thought we would share our own midlife perspectives and experiences in a sub series called “Our Midlife Muddle”.
Our plan is to talk about topics which touch all of us as we work our way through what can be either an overwhelming or empowering stage of our lives.
Future episodes will take a dive into our habit changes, physical and mental wellbeing, careers and how relationships often alter as we navigate our midlife.
Even if you’re not close to 40 please do still listen, to prepare for life when your 40 plus era comes knocking on the door. I had no idea what to expect and was definitely in the denial category!
As always, we will be underpinning our stories with reminders about how the power of meaningful conversations can contribute to our midlife mindset reset.
