What happens when an award-winning comedienne, actor, and author known as the “Big Fat Greek Mother” gets real about midlife, menopause, and mental health?

Pure magic. In this heartwarming, hilarious, and deeply vulnerable conversation, I sit down with Olga Thompson—comedian, actor, writer, and author of Split Ends and New Beginnings. From growing up in her family’s North London hair salon to surviving breakdowns, raising three boys, becoming a voice for midlife women, and launching her comedy tour My Big Fat Greek Menopause, Olga proves that joy really can be found on the other side of hardship.

🎙️ Highlights:
  • Why Olga says her life didn’t truly begin until 40.
  • Surviving breakdowns, burnout, and shame—and choosing joy anyway.
  • The inspiration behind her book Split Ends and New Beginnings.
  • How comedy, storytelling, and community help women feel seen in midlife.
  • The importance of giving yourself grace and creating space for YOU.
This is midlife at its realest—equal parts laughter, tears, and encouragement.

Shirley shares her revolutionary insights on boosting energy, confidence, and overall well-being by tuning into the gut-brain connection.

  • Reclaiming Eating Boundaries: Why infants are born with natural eating boundaries and how we can reconnect with them as adults.

In this powerful episode of Rocking Midlife, I chat with Antoinette, a coach, speaker, and fellow podcaster who shares her insights into finding and using your voice, regardless of whether you’re an introvert or extrovert.

We discuss the importance of mindset, the value of our unique stories, and how to inspire others by simply stepping out of our comfort zones. Antoinette even shares a transformative seven-day challenge that’s designed to help you uncover new directions and possibilities in life.

Key Topics Covered:
  1. How introverts and extroverts approach speaking and sharing differently
  2. Why everyone has something valuable to share—no matter your background
  3. The importance of focusing on others rather than yourself when sharing your story
  4. A seven-day challenge to help uncover what you truly want in life
Takeaways:
  • Real change comes when you stop focusing on yourself and instead think about the people you’re impacting.
  • You don’t need to be a huge success to help others; you only need to be one step ahead.
  • Consistently ask yourself questions that spark introspection and let your subconscious do the work!

In this episode, I dive into 10 social norms that we’ve all been taught to follow but are holding us back—especially in midlife. It's time to challenge the status quo, step out of your comfort zone, and embrace a life of purpose, fulfillment, and authenticity.
Join me as I share personal stories and practical advice on how to let go of outdated norms like fearing failure, chasing material success, and holding in your emotions. Whether you’ve felt pressured to conform or have been hesitant to start anew, this episode will empower you to be brave, be bold, and be YOU.
Key takeaways:
  • Why it's time to stop prioritizing stability over growth.
  • How letting go of material success leads to a more fulfilling life.
  • Why midlife is the perfect time to ditch societal expectations and pursue your true purpose.

Welcome back to the Rocking Midlife Podcast!

In this week's episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with London-based Rachel Lankester. Rachel is not just a fabulous author, (whose book is on the recommended New York Times list for books about menopause) but a mentor and podcast host of Magnificent Midlife, an online hub celebrating and empowering women in their 40s and beyond.

During our conversation, we discuss the negative perception about menopause held by so many in western cultures. Rachel shares how this isn't the case in other cultures and explains how we should instead embrace menopause as a natural phase of life and not an “illness” needing medical intervention. She also shares her journey through menopause, along with tips she has discovered from experience and research.

It's time to alleviate the anxiety associated with menopause and ageing, and celebrate this new season of life!

During our conversation, Dr E shares her story about how she and her wife became advocates for their own health during midlife and discovered functional medicine.

In this Rocking Midlife® Podcast episode, I'm joined by an amazing lady - Dr Carol Parker Walsh - for a conversation around the topic of how to survive and thrive in midlife by embracing the changes that come our way.

Dr Carol is a catalyst for transformational growth, confidence, and career/life alignment. She leverages her J.D. and Ph.D. and multiple certifications, along with her almost 30 years of experience as an attorney, executive leader, professor, dean and social scientist to help driven professionals and entrepreneurs elevate their income and amplify their confidence, expertise, and authority. She jokingly calls herself “over-educated” having earned two doctorates, two masters, and certificates from Harvard, Oxford and Dartmouth.

Dr Carol has an impressive career history, however she shifted her career path when she reached midlife. After getting into a massive car accident, she decided to follow what it is that she genuinely wants to do in life, and stepped into her purpose unapologetically. Now she teaches women to listen to that voice inside, find their opening, and step into their purpose on the other side.

Whether you're just starting your journey into midlife or you're already well underway, this video has something for everyone. So grab a cup of coffee and get ready to be inspired!

Tune in to the very first episode of the Rocking Midlife® Podcast for 2023, to hear my personal update as well as a challenge for you!

To give you some perspective as well, I recorded this first episode of the Rocking Midlife® Podcast in mid January – well before the record breaking weather bomb that hit New Zealand, causing widespread flooding and damage to Auckland. Hence, I sound quite upbeat and positive in the episode, giving an update on my personal world and asking you about how you are, and who you want to become in 2023.

Incidents like the flooding being experienced here, natural disasters, political conflict and more, are reminders that there is so much out of our control, and that oftentimes, life can absolutely suck. On the other hand though, becoming who we want to become in the new year is something we can control......
  • Want to become more intentional in which relationships you put time and effort into this year?
  • Want to become more mindful and less stressed?
  • Want to create a life that is purposeful and fulfilling?
  • Want to become more grateful and less judgemental?
We're only one month into the year, and already so much has happened that is out of our control. Nevertheless, there are still 11 months to go where you have the possibility of experiencing growth in so many areas of your life, if you choose to intentionally focus on who you want to become this year.

So here's to 2023. Whilst it might be off to a bumpy start, may we never lose the ability to hope and dream.

During our conversation, we talked about whole creativity is something that is often neglected in our lives, and how midlife can be the perfect time to reignite it, due to us having more space in our lives now that we are through the child-raising years.

We also touched on how we need to change our inner conditioning that tells us that anything creative or artistic is “frivolous” and not worth doing.

Faigie in passionate about seeing women reignite their creativity and shares many key thoughts including:

•How you don’t have to be born with a talent for drawing to become an artist.
•How alcohol inks can be the perfect medium to help you reignite your creative side.

We connected recently when Edwina invited me to be part of a fabulous 11 day challenge she is hosting starting on the 22nd August: the More Extraordinary Every Day Challenge for Midlife Women. (You can still register for your FREE ticket here: https://edwinamd.com/CatColuccio )

Edwina is a "Vision Building Mentor" which is a fabulous name for a mentor who helps women create vision boards, then supports them to bring their dreams and goals to life.

Her own story is like many women's, with her personal metamorphosis springing from her darkest hour as a suddenly single, broke mother with four children to leading a full-colour life of love, prosperity, and freedom.

As a Professional Interviewer and Transformational Coach, Edwina is a powerhouse in the fields of vision building and transformation. She has supported thousands of women to create an exciting vision for the life they want to live and then provides the support and accountability to bring that vision to life.

During our conversation, Edwina makes some thought-provoking points, including: 

1. We women often spend so much time planning the perfect wedding day or the most amazing event - yet we never take the time to create a vision and plan of the life we want to live - including all areas, some examples being our health, our relationships, our careers etc. 

2. Who you want to BE will affect what you want to achieve. Achieving external goals requires internal growth. 

3. "If it's going to be, it's up to me!" Want to reach your goals? Want to change your life? Then you will need to accept that no-one is coming to rescue you - it's up to you to roll up your sleeves and do the work.

You might recall that I interviewed Isabel in season 2 about menopause and brain health, as she is a doctor who specializes in helping people age well. Michael is a culinary nutritionist, and the pair work as a team, helping people reverse their diabetes and cognitive decline.

What I love about the Hunsingers is that they are not only passionate about their work – they are passionate about one another, and I know that their insights will encourage others in long term partnerships. Isabel even shares a list of 8 key things that have helped them keep their marriage happy and healthy, and while they are a bit out of order due to our having too much fun in our conversation, you are sure to find one that will inspire you to take action on your marriage.

I often talk about the roller coaster that is midlife. There is love and there is loss, along with every emotion in between which can feel amplified when you add the crazy hormones of menopause to the mix. For many, this season also exposes the weaker parts of their marriage, as couples are forced to re-engage when the distraction of childrearing is removed.

We’ve spoken previously on the podcast about being single, plus about how to heal and live life authentically after divorce. My hope is that today’s episode will give you both hope and tips to help you not only revive your long term relationship if it is feeling a bit stale, but to nurture your relationship so much that it develops to be something far better than you ever imagined.

Isabel’s 8 tips for keeping the love alive in your long term relationship became 10 by the end of the interview, so in case you missed any, here they are:

1.Attack the problem, not the person.
2.Identify YOUR personal issues and work on them.
3.Keep your voice and countenance calm and low.
4.Timing of when to discuss and solve problems.
5.LISTEN! - no eye rolls or sighs and pay attention.
6.Ephesians 4:29 - Be kind with the tongue (your words)
7.RESPECT - never disrespect in public.
8.Trust - that comes from respect and ALL of the other steps.
9."neglect the rest of the world if you have to, but NEVER neglect each other."
10.Intimacy - Stay sexy for each other.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/RockingMidlife]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/50875660Wed, 10 Aug 2022 14:49:19 +0000Cat ColuccioThis week’s Rocking Midlife® Podcast interview features Isabel and Michael Hunsinger – the team behind Doctor on a Mission – speaking about how they keep the love alive after 42 years of being together. You might recall that I interviewed Isabel...
You might recall that I interviewed Isabel in season 2 about menopause and brain health, as she is a doctor who specializes in helping people age well. Michael is a culinary nutritionist, and the pair work as a team, helping people reverse their diabetes and cognitive decline.

What I love about the Hunsingers is that they are not only passionate about their work – they are passionate about one another, and I know that their insights will encourage others in long term partnerships. Isabel even shares a list of 8 key things that have helped them keep their marriage happy and healthy, and while they are a bit out of order due to our having too much fun in our conversation, you are sure to find one that will inspire you to take action on your marriage.

I often talk about the roller coaster that is midlife. There is love and there is loss, along with every emotion in between which can feel amplified when you add the crazy hormones of menopause to the mix. For many, this season also exposes the weaker parts of their marriage, as couples are forced to re-engage when the distraction of childrearing is removed.

We’ve spoken previously on the podcast about being single, plus about how to heal and live life authentically after divorce. My hope is that today’s episode will give you both hope and tips to help you not only revive your long term relationship if it is feeling a bit stale, but to nurture your relationship so much that it develops to be something far better than you ever imagined.

Lori is the CEO of Zen Rabbit and host of the podcast “Fine is a 4-Letter Word.” She’s an award-winning writer, speaker, and broadcaster and offers a transformational program: "F*ck Being Fine," which was inspired by the experience of leaving her own 22-year marriage. Through it, she guides business professionals who are finished living in a dumpster fire, to a place of unprecedented clarity, peace, and productivity. Using a collaborative approach, she’s teaching the world to be grounded and centred, which leads to improved relationships, increased sales, and better overall health.

Lori and I had a fabulous time talking all things meditation and gratitude, and covered a number of points, including:

1.How a daily meditation practise can positively impact every area of your life.
2. How there is no "one size fits all" way of meditating.
3. How meditation is not the sole realm of "woo woo" people, but is a practise with scientifically proven positive results including improved focus, energy, relationships, and health.
4. How gratitude can positively reframe negative experiences in your life.

Tune in and enjoy the conversation. Lori is a fabulous lady and I know you'll be inspired to start meditating today!

Then this week's Rocking Midlife® Podcast interview is one you won't want to miss, as I talk to certified divorce recovery coach Martha Bodyfelt about recovering from divorce at midlife.

Martha teaches divorced women how to break free from the patterns that keep them stuck so they can feel fulfilled, have more fun, and live fearlessly.

In the past 5 years, she has professionally coached over 100 women using the LionHeart Method, a no-BS, empowering solution that helps women recover from divorce pain and thrive in a matter of weeks, not years.

Martha has also served as an divorce expert contributor to the Huffington Post, Elephant Journal, Psychology Today, and Thrive Global, where her advice has impacted over 10 million divorced women.

Following the laughter around my botched introduction, (which I left in for your entertainment - keeping it real lol!) Martha shares some great insights about recovering from divorce at midlife including:

1. Why divorce completely shakes up your identity - especially at midlife.

2. How her LionHeart methodology helps divorced women a) identify patterns, b) get unstuck by dismantling these patterns, c) rewire their DNA to support self-love and d) build a customised road map to living fearlessly.

3. How we can be better friends to the people in our life who are hurting from divorce.

This is an episode not to be missed as divorce touches so many midlife women, and Martha's tips and insights are gold. Be sure to listen to the end when I ask her to give 3 final tips - you'll be so encouraged!

We had a fabulous interview recently about "Parenting Aging Parents" but when we touched on the issue of elderly people being targeted for scams, we knew that this was an important topic that needed its own episode!

Unfortunately, intentional scamming of elderly people online has increased over the past few years. Given that our parents' generation are relatively new to the online space - it is a very real issue.

We cover a lot of information in this episode, including:

* What scams your parents are facing right now.
* The challenge of trying to communicate the risks to elderly parents.
* Practical tips you can use right away.

Online scams are a very real threat, and it's important that we help our aging parents protect themselves from falling victim.

This week’s guest on the Rocking Midlife® Podcast is the wonderful Colleen Kochannek who not only shares her personal story of creating a business over the age of 50, but who has encouraging insights for other women who might be thinking they are too old to consider becoming an entrepreneur.

After a successful corporate career, Colleen found herself made redundant, and thought she would launch her own business. She figured this would be a breeze given her past career – and boy was she wrong! She had to teach herself all of the tech that younger people have grown up with, and it was during this process she realised that nobody was teaching this information in a way that a beginner 50+ year old woman could understand.
Hence, she decided she would help other women who were facing this same steep learning curve, and her business Scrappy Frontier – helping women from the Typewriter GenerationTM
was born.

My interview with Colleen covers a lot of ground, including:

•Why a business after 50 makes sense.
•How it’s easy to be overwhelmed by “gurus”
•Why you need to be comfortable being a beginner
•Why you need to be open to learning about tech
•Why your mindset matters!

If you’ve even vaguely considered starting your own business, this is the episode for you, so be sure to leave a comment and share it with your midlife friends!

Katie is the founder of The School of Self Love. She is a Women’s Empowerment Master Coach, a Love & Dating Mentor and author of The Self Love Affair - A Woman’s Guide To A Daring & Mighty Life. She is the creator of the ‘Meet Your Soul Mate’ experience which is transforming midlife women’s lives and allowing them to receive love with ease. Her passion and expertise is inspiring mid-lifers that they can create a life they love and call in the love of their life without burn-out or guilt!

Says Katie: "Midlife dating is on the rise and I don’t feel this audience is being seen, heard and understood in the same way that the dating industry supports younger singles. Women in midlife can begin to feel invisible and I want to shine a light on what is possible for them - to re-ignite hope and give them powerful strategies for receiving love. After 8 years single parenting, I met my husband in mid-life and love to share that story to inspire listeners to what’s possible."

During our conversation, Katie shared some powerful insights about how your own self-love, self-confidence and self-beliefs can either sabotage or help you find your soulmate at midlife. She also talked about her own experience of being a single mother for 8 years, until she did the inner-work that allowed her to discover her soulmate who was literally living just around the corner. 

If you have found yourself single at midlife - as a widow, a divorcee or as someone who has not yet found love - this episode will give you hope as well as some practical steps that you can start taking right away. Even if you are happily married, you'll still learn tips that can help improve your partnership.

In this episode of the Rocking Midlife® Podcast, my conversation with Dr. Isabel covers her work - helping people reverse the effects of chronic illnesses such as diabetes and alzheimers - and especially, the impact of menopause hormonal fluctuations on the brain.

Things get very raw and real when Dr. Isabel shares her own story of battling depression and suicide just 7 years ago, and I share a little of my own battle with clinical depression back in my early 30s.

I am personally shocked when Dr. Isabel explains that one of the highest demographics for suicide is midlife women! I had no clue, and am determined to learn more about menopause and brain health going forward.

With Robyn Pearce.https://www.spreaker.com/episode/you-re-not-too-old-to-try-something-new-with-robyn-pearce--43838833
This week's guest on the Rocking Midlife® Podcast is a fabulous lady that I met through the New Zealand Professional Speakers Association a few years ago, and her story is truly inspiring.

Robyn Pearce is a CSP which means she is a Certified Speaking Professional, a certification that only about 6% of the speakers who belong to the world-wide Global Speakers Federation hold. In fact, Robyn was the very first CSP in New Zealand, held the position of NZ President in 2002-3, then went on to hold the position of President of the Global Speakers Federation in 2006-7. New Zealand is known for trail blazing women in leadership and Robyn has certainly been a trail blazer for women the professional speaking industry.

What I love about Robyn's story however, is that like me, she is someone who has reinvented herself many times over the years. She actually lists 7 careers that she has held - some of which is juggled while a single mother with a large brood. She has been a librarian; raised six kids on a farm, one of them a foster son with intellectual disabilities; held various jobs while on the DPB, (Domestic Purposes Benefit); been a successful real estate salesperson; worked in network marketing; launched a speaking and training business, (Robyn is known as New Zealand's time management queen due to her books, workplace training and keynote topics around this subject) and now she is a historical fiction author, with a little bit of speaking and training on the side.

I should also add that this vibrant woman - who has only started writing fiction over the past 2 years - is 72 and has the energy and vitality of someone half her age. 

alk about a fabulous role model!

Robyn's 3 take-aways for listeners are these:

*Never be afraid to try something new.
*Resistance can be a wonderful motivator.
*You're never too old to try something new.

Adrian is a busy lady, with a few sides to her business, including: Help for New Bloggers - where she helps female business owners overcome the tech challenges of running a blog or a business. She is also a Pinterest Expert, and builds websites, sets up mailing lists, and helps people manage their site security.

If this was not enough, Adrain also has a lifestyle site called Adrian's Crazy Life. Here, she writes about organizing, dealing with teen and adult kids, and managing money. Adrian also runs a virtual clutter coaching service where she helps women overwhelmed by messy and cluttered homes. 

What really blew me away about Adrian however, is that she only launched her online businesses in the past few years after leaving the workforce - and at the very same time was diagnosed with breast cancer. This amazing lady kept positive though, literally building her business from her bed while recovering from surgery and undergoing chemo.

The other amazing fact about Adrian? She is 60 years old, runs an online business and one of team members is her 72 year old sister! Her words of advice for other midlife women are powerful: 

Don't limit yourself.
Don't let your age stand in the way, or your health status, your kids, or your gender. For every challenge you have - someone else has overcome that issue and moved onto success.
When a new opportunity comes up that sounds interesting - say YES and then figure out the details later.
Don't wait until you have the degree or the certificate or permission from someone, just hop in there and start figuring out how to make it happen.

Whether you are a parent of tweens and teens, or a grandparent, it's more important than ever to be aware of the impact that around the clock technology has on young people, and in today's podcast episode, Cathy Mellet , along with Natalie Cutler-Welsh, join me for a conversation around this very subject of how parents can raise their children to be resilient and safe in this new world of technology.

Did you know...


A 2017 study of over half a million 13 - 18-year-olds found that the number of those exhibiting high levels of depressive symptoms increased by 33% between 2010 and 2015. In the same period, the suicide rate for girls in that age group increased by 65%. Coincidentally, smartphones were introduced in 2007 and the use of tech in every day lives of children and teens would forever be changed.


Cathy is the founder of the  I’m Enough charity, and has paired up with Natalie to create a video series as part of fundraising initiative, to help them reach many more Kiwi families, to support them in helping their kids become resilient and empowered as they grow up in the digital age.


At the time of writing, donations are still being received and they need your help! (The fundraising drive will end on Feb 28th)


100% of the money raised will be going towards creating digital and physical resource packs available free to schools, parents and counsellors etc, as well as getting speakers into NZ schools to share tips and insights on topics covered in the video series.


Listen in as Cathy and Nat share their top tips for supporting healthy use of tech in the home, and as always please like, subscribe and share so that others can hear this important message!

Of course, this can be frustrating when I can't pop down the road and have a catch up with my new friend after the interview - but I live in hope that when borders open, a number of my interviewees will head downunder for a visit and I'll get to play tour guide when they do. 

Today's guest is one of those women who you feel like you've known for ages. We connected when Sheree reached out to invite me to be one of the participants of an upcoming Midlife interview series that she will be holding, and I knew that I needed to find out more about this amazing lady.

Sheree is a midlife courage coach and in her words: "I believe it takes guts to live the second half of your life for yourself. I help women to identify and reach goals they may have set aside, as well as any new aspirations they may have." She and I have so many shared views about midlife being a time of potential and opportunity for women to dust off their old dreams or dare to dream new ones.

When asked what 3 things she would like listeners to take away, these were Sheree's answers: 

1)It’s not too late to reinvent yourself.

2)You don’t have to follow a conventional path.

3)It’s easier to make changes when you have support - which is why coaches like Sheree, masterminds and communities like Rocking Midlife® and the Midlife Entrepreneur Success Community for Women are so important!

Instead of being crippled with shame and not talking about her experience however, - something that women tend to do - Debby bravely wrote her best selling book "The Woman behind the Smile." The result of her sharing her story? She has become a sought after speaker, with appearances on “The Dr. Oz Show”, CBS This Morning, The Mel Robbins Show, The Tamron Hall Show, WPEC CBS Channel 12 and WPTV NBC Channel 5, in addition to being featured in the Palm Beach Post. She is regularly called upon by reporters for expert commentary about relationship fraud.

Instead of being crippled with shame and not talking about her experience however, - something that women tend to do - Debby bravely wrote her best selling book "The Woman behind the Smile." The result of her sharing her story? She has become a sought after speaker, with appearances on “The Dr. Oz Show”, CBS This Morning, The Mel Robbins Show, The Tamron Hall Show, WPEC CBS Channel 12 and WPTV NBC Channel 5, in addition to being featured in the Palm Beach Post. She is regularly called upon by reporters for expert commentary about relationship fraud.

Serena West is a talented artist whose passion is capturing the essence of her subject in her
beautiful portraits. Having faced some huge hurdles over the years, having lost her support system and having to start over as a single mother after leaving an abusive marriage – she has learned that leaning into the pain of the
situation and allowing yourself to grieve, helps shape and strengthen not only your empathy
towards others, but your resilience in life.
The 3 things that Serena wants people to take away from this interview are:
1.  Every part of our journey should be honoured for the lessons it provides and the
empathy it can create in us.
2.  We are not alone in our journeys, and I hope my art helps women to see that.
3.  There is a way to get through the difficult seasons and use the lessons to create  a
wonderful life -...and it's never too late

Dee Faith

Today’s episode features a very lovely and vibrant lady all the way from Newcastle, across
the pond in Australia. Dee Faith is an Author, Comedian, Real Estate whizz, seasoned TV,
Radio and Podcast guest - and a whole lot of fun.
Dee is a midlifer juggling teenage kids, single mother life and reinvention as she gets back on
her feet after experiencing the horrendous experience of being scammed by a man that she
thought loved her. In her own words: “The Universe has gifted me with many lessons that
have had monumental consequences which are all the foundation for me to help other
women from a first hand experience. From that, 'The Dickhead List' was born which is a
cracka book to help newly divorced singles in the crazy world of online dating which is
definitely an eyeopener. From there the business has grown. Keynote speaking, comedy acts
and touring around just spreading the message of self worth, not settling and giving yourself
a check up from the neck up. Since COVID, The Middy Show is underway about to launch
with podcasts and a pilot TV which is a long time coming. The ultimate goal is to provide
emergency housing for women in a distressed place where they can go in a heartbeat with
all the supplies needed to chill in safety.”
Dee has shares some great tips to encourage women to embrace their creative side at
midlife.

My guest today is Heike Yates, an experienced Fitness and Nutrition Coach who empowers
women 50+ to take back their health and strength for a vibrant lifestyle.
We cover a number of topics in our conversation, including how Heike felt being an obese
child, and how she fell in love with fitness as a new mother, which started her on a 30 year
journey of teaching others how to live fit and healthy live, all while still pursuing her own
fitness goals such as becoming an Ironman Triathlete.
When asked are her 3 top tips for the midlife woman who wants to improve their health
and wellbeing, Heike lists the following:
1) Mindset – picture what your goal is that you are aiming for, then itemise the
obstacles and how you can overcome them, thereby setting yourself up for success.
2) Happiness – find it in your everyday life, instead of hoping to be happy “one day.”
3) Intermittent fasting – learn how resting your digestive system can help your body
function so much more efficiently.

fitness goals such as becoming an Ironman Triathlete.
When asked are her 3 top tips for the midlife woman who wants to improve their health
and wellbeing, Heike lists the following:
1) Mindset – picture what your goal is that you are aiming for, then itemise the
obstacles and how you can overcome them, thereby setting yourself up for success.
2) Happiness – find it in your everyday life, instead of hoping to be happy “one day.”
3) Intermittent fasting – learn how resting your digestive system can help your body
function so much more efficiently.

I’m excited to feature a good friend of mine today – Rob Robertson. Rob is an Entrepreneur,
Speaker and Productivity Expert specialising in Emotional Fitness and Technology, and how
these can combine to create time freedom, resilience and inner trust.
His Emotional Fitness tools help grow emotional understanding, boost self-esteem and inner
trust for a more organic free flow of success, and it is fantastic hearing a man advocating
that men AND women can benefit from truly owning their emotions!

The 3 key points that Rob shares in this interview are: 
1. Our emotional range is like a muscle, if we don’t use it, then it will wither away.
Emotions are our most important feedback mechanism, if we develop their full
range, not just being comfortable in the positive space. This is the core of building
true inner trust.
2. Negative emotions are our greatest gift if we understand the message and how to
integrate and heal the source of them so that they don’t keep providing return
patterns. This way we can get great growth and feedback from any negative
emotions. The Inner(Emotional Fitness) toolkit is a series of techniques to use
negative emotions for growth and healing to avoid them returning, these can be
done by yourself and are not complicated but do require a level of emotional
openness.
3. True freedom is linked to great Emotional Fitness because our emotions and
unconscious programming have a strong link creating our thoughts, actions and self-
esteem, the resilience and mental toughness to be fully present. Hence massive life-
changing events occur by shifting Emotional Fitness for much more sustainable inner
trust and resilience.

I’m so excited to introduce today’s guest who I first met a number of years ago when she
invited me to an interview for her podcast. Angela Raspass is a Business and Life Mentor for
women in their 40's and beyond who are yearning to step into their Next Chapter – their full
potential, in business and life.
Angela is a coach with a difference. Her warmth and genuine desire to see her clients find
fulfilment in every area of their life is evident to those people who connect with her, and I
know that the wisdom she shares when explaining her model around reinvention will inspire
many to embark on their own quest for a significant Next Chapter in life.

Here are the key points around the model change that Angela shares in her interview:
• Discontent is a sign that something new is available to you – the key is to give yourself
permission to BE discontent and then explore what ‘s calling you
• Defining what we Desire can be a challenge – the key is curiosity and some clues can be
soap box moments, your values, your pits, Way Showers and what simply feels delightful.
Remember, you need not get it perfect, you need not see the whole picture you need to
only take the first step.
• Which requires a Decision to trust yourself, to give it a go! • Doubt is an inevitable part of
the journey, lean into it. Don’t allow the “Alien on your face” to block possibilities, recognise
and name the stories, put them to one side, reassure your Inner Critic and keep moving
forwards.
• Seek community – isolation is a dream killer. Consider investing in a Coach or Mentor to
build momentum.
• Keep a Gratitude List and finish it off with a “I’m proud of” to train your brain to filter and
find the positives.
• Strategy to start and grow a business, or to take an existing one in a new direction
requires strategy, absolutely, but this must be matched with an equal focus on connecting
you to your inherent, indisputable self-worth so you have the belief and trust in you and
your vision.

Today’s episode features a very talented friend of mine – Greg Ward. Greg is a Professional
MC, keynote speaker, virtual MC and more. Despite his confident persona on stage though,
Greg has had to deal with his own battle with mental health, and this has led him to now
share his story in order to inspire others to “recognise their truth, and to take heart in the
fact they are not alone.” Generally we women are good at reaching out and talking to
someone when we are struggling, but men can be harder to read. Hence I’ve invited Greg to
have a conversation around the subject of how we can better understand and support the
mental health of the midlife men in our lives.
The 3 key points that Greg would like you to remember are:
* You eat an elephant one bite at a time.
* You don’t know what you don’t know – but sometimes you’d don’t know what you DO
know! Slow down, cut through your own static.
* The future is uncertain, the past is gone. All we have is the present. Live now. You are
enough.

My guest today is Michelle Yandle, an inspiring Health and Nutrition Educator and Coach
whose passion is teaching people how to feel amazing, (without all the nutrition confusion
and bs) and without having to give up the foods they love. One of her mantras is “FEEL
GREAT and EAT CAKE” and she helps break the chains of constant dieting, cravings, binging
and feeling out of control around food that cause women in particular to feel guilt and
shame.
Says Michelle: “Like many women, since I was put on my first diet at age 12 I have struggled
with food. I’ve followed every trend, every diet, every drink and every microwave meal in
order to be my ‘healthiest self’. Many of the people I work with today are plagued with the
same vicious cycle. It wasn’t until I began to do some research into my Mi’kmaq (Native
American) ancestry and began to incorporate the teachings of The Medicine Wheel into my
practice that I was able to help not only those I worked with but myself as well.
It was then, Empowered Eating was born. Since then, I've written books, spoken
internationally (incl. TEDx), written for Nadia Magazine and Healthy Food Guide amongst
others and appeared on Radio and Television sharing the message of Empowered Eating and
Gentle Nutrition.”
