  From Brushing Her Teeth to Running the Coast of Britain with Megan Boxhall

  Sep 17, 202656 min

  Episode 137: From Brushing Her Teeth to Running the Coast of Britain with Megan Boxhall Two hundred marathons. Two hundred and four days. One coastline. When we heard Megan Boxhall had run the coast of Great Britain, we genuinely had to sit down and ask: how does a human being keep showing up day after day through winter weather, tired legs, and the moments when your brain whispers “no one cares”? Megan joins us to tell the full story, and it quickly becomes about far more than ultra running or chasing a record. We talk about the messy middle: planning logistics you cannot fully control, relying on friends, strangers, and a camper van support crew, and finding unexpected belonging on the road. Megan shares her favourite sections of the British coastline, the community spirit she found in Cornwall, and why parkrun mattered to both the start and the finish. We also touch on the admin reality of recognition, GPS evidence, and the frustrating gaps in how records get defined. Most importantly, Megan speaks openly about mental health, her experience of crisis care, and why the Samaritans became a lifeline. She explains what happens when you call, why waiting on hold can still be worth it, and how small steps (even brushing your teeth on the hardest days) can start to rebuild a life. We explore anxiety, perfectionism, living with a multiple sclerosis diagnosis, and why prevention and education may be the missing pieces in the way we handle mental wellbeing. If you care about resilience, women’s wellbeing, mental health support, or endurance sport, you will take something real from this conversation.

  The Hot Flush Off Switch Is Above Your Lip

  Sep 10, 202649 min

  Episode 136: The Hot Flush Off Switch Is Above Your Lip with Georgina Strickland Your feet carry you all day, but what if they are also quietly reporting on how you’re coping? We sit down with Georgina Strickland from Lifespan Reflexology to unpack what reflexology actually is, why it has roots stretching back thousands of years, and how a skilled practitioner can use mapped pressure points on the feet and face to support your whole system without making medical claims. If you’ve ever wondered how stress shows up in the body, or why you feel different after a truly relaxing treatment, this chat makes it make sense. We go deep on women’s health, from Georgina’s own fertility journey into practice, to the way many clients use foot reflexology and facial reflexology for perimenopause and menopause symptoms. We talk hot flushes, night sweats, anxiety, sleep, brain fog, and why the parasympathetic nervous system is at the centre of feeling better. Georgina also explains how facial reflexology works closer to the brain and central nervous system, why that can be a great alternative if you hate people touching your feet, and how a little self-care “map” between sessions can speed up results. You’ll also hear two simple facial reflexology points you can try at home, plus the bigger takeaway we keep coming back to: slowing down is not a luxury, it is essential.

  What If Feeling Broken Is Actually Reversible

  Aug 13, 202645 min

  Episode 132: What If Feeling Broken Is Actually Reversible Burnout can look like perimenopause so convincingly that you end up blaming your hormones for everything while your stress system keeps quietly screaming for help. We’re Julie and Catherine, and we see this all the time: women in their 40s and 50s dragging themselves out of bed, feeling tired but wired, snapping at the people they love, catching every cold, living on caffeine and “quick” food, and wondering why they cannot cope like everyone else. If that sounds familiar, we want you to hear this clearly: it’s not a character flaw, and it is not “just normal life”. We break down what is happening underneath, including how chronic stress affects cortisol rhythms, sleep, digestion, mood, libido, and immunity. We also explain our favourite simple model for making sense of confusing symptoms: the adrenals as the accelerator and the thyroid as the brake. When stress keeps your foot on the accelerator, the thyroid may slam on the brakes to conserve energy and nutrients, leaving you feeling sluggish, foggy, and stuck even if standard thyroid tests come back “fine”. We also talk about how testing such as hair mineral analysis can give useful clues about depletion and stress load. Then we get practical. You’ll hear small, realistic tools for nervous system regulation and recovery: quick breathwork you can do in seconds, cutting back on screen and news overload, balancing blood sugar with protein and regular meals, replenishing minerals through food, and considering supports like magnesium, B vitamins, vitamin C, and adaptogens. We also share ways to give yourself permission to rest through simple rituals, tapping, stretching, nature, and even a brief cold shower finish. If you know you’re running on empty, press play, share this with a friend who needs it, and subscribe so you do not miss what’s next.

  The Foundations of Health: The Four Legs of the Chair

  Aug 6, 202633 min

  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. Got a question or comment?

  Building a Life You Don't Want to Escape From with Sober Coach Anna Sudbury

  Jul 30, 202654 min

  Episode 130: Building a Life You Don't Want to Escape From with Sober Coach Anna Sudbury 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.
