  • My new favourite podcast!

    This podcast strikes a chord in so many ways. For all the challenges we face as women, mothers, middle-aged and beyond. Hearing these women share their personal stories is both reassuring (you’re not alone) and inspiring (what are you waiting for?). The stories are diverse and yet all have a common theme, how to find your way when either your landscape has changed, or you’re after something different. More please!

  • A great companion

    This is a great companion for women (even if you’re not in that wobbly middle). The guests and discussions have been truly inspiring and insightful, and a great help in navigating life when you’re at a crossroads, uncertain of what to do and where to go next, and exploring the possibilities. Additionally, it helps qualm those insecurities of how well you are doing and gives you real perspective. Love it!
