This month Sarah and Bekah have a conversation about change and transitions, sparked by things going on in their own lives this year. It's been a busy year for both of us, and there are some really exciting things happening. However, any change, even if it feels positive, comes with some degree of loss of how things were before, and it's important that we're able to validate and process the range of emotions around this. So, we thought we'd do that on here!

Get ready for some BRAIN FOOD! This month we spoke with Anjuli Sherin; therapist, author of Joyous Resilience and all-round awesome human being. We talk about what resilience is - and what it isn't - and some of the reasons it can feel so hard to be resilient/build resilience, especially in adolescence and early adulthood and what we might have to unlearn later in life. Anjuli clearly practises what she preaches and brings a joyful presence to this episode. We hope you love listening to her as much as we loved talking to her.

It's been 2 years since Bekah's husband said "you should record these conversations for others to hear" and we went - yeah why not, nothing else to do in a global pandemic... We couldn't have imagined at that point where the podcast would take us, the amazing people we would meet, the projects we would get involved in, the friends we would make, and the impact that all this would have on the two of us. So we thought we'd take this opportunity, on our 'birthday', to reflect back over the last two years. We've listened to our original episodes, and we have some updates! We are always growing and learning about ourselves, and we wanted to share some of what we've been learning with you. A HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported this podcast - we are more grateful than we can say. We do have one request, and that is for people to rate and review us wherever you get your podcasts. This isn't so we can feel good about ourselves (honest!) it's so that we can become more visible in the podcast charts so that more people can find us and hear the amazing stories our guests share with us. Thank you!

This month we have one of those 'Why haven't we ever thought about this before????' moments with Dr Helena Tucker, a Clinical Psychologist and menstrual cycle specialist. We talk about how we are socialised to think about menstruation and the effects it has on our bodies, how we then end up thinking and talking about hormonal changes when we're adults, and the power that it's possible to utilise if we understand our cycles. If you don't menstruate THIS IS STILL FOR YOU. One of the problems is that we don't teach this stuff to EVERYONE and so we all end up not knowing enough.  Helena was so much fun to talk to, so - depending on where you are in your cycle! - join us on a walk or snuggled up under a blanket!Website: https://drhelenatucker.com/Instagram: @dr.helenatuckerHelena's free guide: https://programs.drhelenatucker.com/guideIn the Flo: https://intheflobook.com/The Red School: https://www.redschool.net/
