    Episode 42: When the Body Speaks, Listen: A Midlife Reminder that Health isn't a Project, it's a Relationship

    Play Episode Listen Later Nov 3, 2025 6:47


    In this episode, I share an honest reflection on my perimenopausal journey, the physical shifts, the quiet lessons, and the deep gratitude that comes from finally listening to my body. What began as a dull ache in my hips has become a powerful teacher, reminding me that health is our truest wealth. From attending my first group physiotherapy session to rejoining the gym, this season of my life isn't about pushing through; it's about slowing down, honouring my limits, and moving from a place of care rather than correction. This episode is a gentle invitation to tune in to your own body's wisdom, to listen to its whispers before they become cries for attention, to nourish it, rest it, and thank it for carrying you this far. Because healing doesn't begin with grand change; it begins with one small promise kept to yourself. For reflections and free resources, visit Kiransinghuk.com and explore my Digital Library.

    In this episode, I reflect on the gentle unfolding of October, a month that taught me about balance, release, and renewal. It wasn't a season of grand change, but of quiet transformation: a month of movement and stillness, expansion and rest, all coexisting in their own rhythm. From the Water Lantern Festival to turning 48, this month reminded me that midlife isn't a crisis, it's a conversation, one that asks for honesty, tenderness, and presence. I talk about what it means to take an honest inventory, to listen deeply to yourself, and to honour the small, sacred moments that shape us. If you've been feeling stretched or in transition, this episode is your invitation to pause, to reflect on what you've released, what you've made room for, and how you want to feel in the next season of your life.

    In this episode of Tea with Self, I share how a quiet week of decluttering became an unexpected act of homecoming. What started as clearing a few cupboards turned into a gentle ritual of release, of making space not just in my home, but within myself. Through letting go of what no longer serves, donating what can bless someone else, and even cleansing my home with sage and Palo Santo, I discovered that decluttering isn't really about tidiness, it's about energy, clarity, and coming back to centre. If you've been feeling disconnected or overwhelmed, this episode is your invitation to begin again, one drawer, one shelf, one soft breath at a time. Because sometimes, the path back to yourself begins with a single cleared space. For reflections and free resources, visit Kiransinghuk.com and explore my Digital Library.

    In this episode, I share how one simple act, opening my banking app, became an unexpected moment of peace, clarity, and courage. It wasn't really about money; it was about facing myself. For years, I'd avoided looking too closely, afraid of what I might find. But when I finally did, I didn't feel shame or guilt; I felt relief. I realised that avoidance isn't about what we're avoiding, but about the stories we tell ourselves about it. This episode is a gentle reminder that real courage often lives in small, quiet moments, the ones where we finally turn toward what we fear and say, ā€œI'm ready to see the truth now.ā€ Because the truth, when met with softness, is never something to fear. It's what sets us free. For reflections and free resources, visit Kiransinghuk.com and explore my Digital Library.

    In this episode of Tea with Self, I share what it feels like to be in the in-between, that tender space between who we were and who we're becoming. It's not always comfortable. It's quiet, reflective, and at times, achingly lonely. But it's also where the most honest growth begins. I talk about rediscovering the parts of myself I've dimmed in the name of strength and responsibility, the longing for connection and softness, and the reminder that this season isn't about reinventing myself, it's about returning. This is a reflection for anyone who feels in transition, who's tired of striving but not ready to give up. It's about learning to live without rushing to the next version, about resting in what's here, and trusting that clarity always follows space.

    In this special birthday episode of Tea with Self, I reflect on turning 48, not as another year passing, but as a homecoming. This year feels different: lighter, softer, more grounded in who I am. I'm no longer chasing; I'm simply being. I share the quiet lessons that have shaped me through the decades, that ageing isn't decline but deepening, that peace is found in presence, and that self-love is a daily devotion, not a destination. From letting go of old patterns to tending to myself with softness and grace, this is an episode about embracing the woman I've become while welcoming the one I'm still becoming. Because every year is both a continuation and a new beginning, a reminder that the best is yet to come, and that we are already whole, already enough, right here, right now.

    In this episode of Midlife by Design: Tea with Self, I explore the quiet truth that real inner work isn't about fixing, it's about remembering. It's not a project or a performance; it's a homecoming. This reflection is for the woman in midlife who's tired of striving and ready to return to herself. I talk about what it means to soften into who we already are, to sit beside what aches, to listen beneath the noise, and to let healing move at the pace of roots. True transformation, I've learned, doesn't happen through grand gestures, but through the smallest acts of self-honouring, resting before the collapse, telling the truth even when your voice shakes, letting joy and grief both have space. This is what midlife has taught me: we don't need to perfect ourselves, only to return to who we've always been.

    In this episode of Tea with Self, I share a truth that surfaced quietly one sleepless night, a truth I didn't know I'd been resisting: I no longer want to do in-person work. Not because I'm giving up, but because I'm growing out of it. After years of holding space for others, through one-to-one sessions, group programmes, and live events, I've realised that the impact I once sought in rooms now lives through my words, my voice, and my energy. The connection remains, but the form has changed. This episode is about refinement, the art of releasing what no longer fits so you can honour what truly does. It's about recognising that your worth isn't measured by how much you give, but by how intentionally you live. Here's to becoming quieter, truer, and more precise in how we show up. Not chasing presence, but being it. For reflections and resources, visit Kiransinghuk.com and explore my Digital Library.

    In this episode of Tea with Self, I share a quiet lesson from the Water Lantern Festival, a day that began with restlessness and ended in peace. What started as a simple outing turned into an invitation to stop chasing calm and let it find me instead. As the lanterns drifted across the water, I released the weight of striving, proving, and performing, and made space to invite in ease, trust, and stillness. For the first time in a long while, I didn't feel the need to capture the moment. I simply lived it. This is a story about surrender, about learning that stillness isn't empty, it's full. Full of peace, presence, and the quiet truth of who we are when we finally stop running. For more reflections and resources, visit Kiransinghuk.com.

There was a time when everything looked ā€œfineā€ from the outside, but inside, I was quietly breaking. This is a story about learning that true strength isn't found in holding everything together, it's in allowing yourself to fall apart and meet what's there with compassion. It's about finding peace not through control or perfection, but through presence. I share the small, healing practices that helped me return to myself, slow mornings, silent tea rituals, therapy, journaling, and simply letting myself feel. If you've ever felt tired, disconnected, or unsure where to begin, I hope this reminds you that healing isn't a finish line.

From leaving my phone on the porch, to eating lunch with nothing but the sound of the breeze for company, to walking without my earbuds and letting Mother Nature be the soundtrack, I've been learning how to sit with the quiet. This isn't about doing less for the sake of it. It's about creating space for mind, body, heart, and spirit to align. It's about allowing stillness to become the deepest form of meditation.
