In this episode of Healing After the Hard Stuff, Anna is joined by Claire Downham for a deeply honest conversation about burnout, breakdown, identity, and what happens when the version of success you've been chasing turns out not to be enough.Clare shares the story of walking out of her role as a primary school head teacher and never returning, after years of high achievement, external striving, and pushing herself beyond her limits. What followed was a long and difficult recovery, misdiagnosis, deep exhaustion, and eventually, a very different understanding of success, self-worth, and wellbeing.Together, Anna and Clare explore the pressures placed on high achievers, the conditioning many of us carry from childhood, and how burnout can become the beginning of a more truthful and peaceful way of living.In this episode, we discuss:Clare's experience of burnout and leaving her career in educationThe crash that came after years of striving and external validationWhy reaching the “top” didn't bring fulfilmentThe link between childhood conditioning and high achievementThe reality of burnout recovery and why it can't be rushedMisdiagnosis, exhaustion, and the limits of traditional approachesClaire's journey into hypnotherapy and later, the Three PrinciplesWhat it means to live more presently and with less self-judgementHow success changes when your wellbeing is no longer dependent on achievementKey Takeaway:Sometimes the breakdown is not the end. It is the moment life forces you to stop chasing, stop proving, and start listening. Beneath the striving, the pressure, and the exhaustion, there is still something whole within you.About Claire:Clare Downham works with high achievers who are struggling with pressure, overthinking, burnout, and the weight of trying to hold everything together. Her work is grounded in the Three Principles and helps people reconnect with a more peaceful, present, and sustainable way of living.Follow Links:Find out about the Nervous System Regulation Coach Certification here:https://influentialbreathwork.com/nervouscertFollow Anna Parker-Napleson Instagram:⁠  ⁠https://www.instagram.com/healingafterthehardstuff⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/annaparkernaples⁠⁠LinkedIn:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/annaparkernaples⁠⁠ Follow Clare DownhamWebsite: https://claredownham.comInstagram https://wwwinstagram.com/claredownhamcoachLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/clare-downham-coach/

In The French Invention of Menopause and the Medicalisation of Women's Ageing (Oxford University Press, 2022), Alison Downham Moore discusses her contribution to the history of women's ageing. Doctors writing about menopause in France vastly outnumbered those in other cultures throughout the entire nineteenth century. The concept of menopause was invented by French male medical students in the aftermath of the French Revolution, becoming an important pedagogic topic and a common theme of doctors' professional identities in postrevolutionary biomedicine. Older women were identified as an important patient cohort for the expanding medicalisation of French society and were advised to entrust themselves to the hygienic care of doctors in managing the whole era of life from around and after the final cessation of menses. However, menopause owed much of its conceptual weft to earlier themes of women as the sicker sex, of vitalist crisis, of the vapours, and of astrological climacteric years.  This is the first comprehensive study of the origins of the medical concept of menopause, richly contextualising its role in nineteenth-century French medicine and revealing the complex threads of meaning that informed its invention. It tells a complex story of how women's ageing featured in the demographic revolution in modern science, in the denigration of folk medicine, in the unique French field of hygiène, and in the fixation on women in the emergence of modern psychiatry. It reveals the nineteenth-century French origins of the still-current medical and alternative-health approaches to women's ageing as something to be managed through gynaecological surgery, hormonal replacement, and lifestyle intervention.

We all need a little calm in our lives, and our guest on the show is Clare Downham, who went from being a burnt-out teacher to becoming the queen of calm. Not overnight, of course; there is a story to be told.  Her recovery came once she discovered a place of calm by stripping back rather than adding more. It was the application of the three principles and the realisation that reality is not what we think it is. The three principles are a tricky concept. They inspired Sydney Banks, a Scottish Welder from the 1970s. He was living in Canada and struggling with insecurity. While attending a weekend course, a passing comment about thoughts opened a door in his mind.  I have been exploring the principle for many years. It is an incredibly simple concept but really hard to implement and explain. Queen of Calm Clare is a great storyteller; her original plan was to be an engineer, and she learned to weld, cut and mill metal. But the science of engineering was not her thing. In a 180-degree shift, she went into the humanities and on to do a teaching degree. She met her husband, became a teacher and set about the process of building a life with a family. Hungry to succeed, she took all of the promotions she could get, moving quickly into school management. Nothing in the training teaches you to manage a school. How does a van with no wheels end up blocking the school gates, and more the point, how or who gets to move? We explore what caused her to go off the rails and how self-care may have prevented her eventual burnout. It is a lovely conversation with a woman who has been on the journey of life and realised that reality is not what it seems. We get to explore the three principles, something I have wanted to do but never had the confidence to do on my own. Today, Clare is a three-principle practitioner, is known as the Queen of Calm and has a large following on Insight Timer. She is dedicated to helping busy women create a life “Powered by Calm” by guiding them to transcend stress, anxiety, and overwhelm without the addition of tools, techniques or trawling through the past.     Further details about this podcast, along with my Guest's website and social links, are all available at: https://lifepassionandbusiness.com/clare-downham-queen-of-calm/     Life Passion & Business is dedicated to exploring what it takes to be Extraordinary, to face challenges and rejoice in the opportunities they bring, and to expand our vision into new ways of thinking and living.

Welcome to the 'Gina Gardiner & Friends Show' - this episode features my guest, Clare Downham whose theme was 'Calm.'

James Downham's latest track “Wine & Whiskey” isn't a country drinking song - as you might think. Rather, this song is about having someone in your life who can do more for you than wine or whiskey ever could. After a hard day, they're the first person you want to see and the first person you want to talk to. “You can wash away any kind of pain. You're my remedy. You're my wine and whiskey.” “Wine & Whiskey” is the latest release from James' debut full-length album The Long Way Home. The track features an all-star cast of musicians, including 2022 CCMA Award Winner Mitch Jay (Steel Guitar Player of the Year, Specialty Instrument Player of the Year) and 2022 CCMA Award Nominees Mark Rynkun (Bass Player of the Year) and Rich DaSilva (Drummer of the Year). And produced by Matt Koebel. Raised in small town rural Ontario, James called Pembroke and Picton home before settling in Southwestern Ontario. He lives in Stratford, with his wife, Ange. Earlier releases from the album included 2022's radio releases “One Mile at a Time” and “Raised On”, as well as critically acclaimed 2021 single, “We're Okay”, a powerful duet with fellow country artist Amanda Kind. James was winner of Season 2 of The Shot, and was recently selected from thousands of applicants as one of only 14 artists to participate in The Shot: Canada vs. USA. Touted as “North America's most intense virtual songwriting competition.” He spent over a decade performing in a Tim McGraw tribute act before turning his attention back to original music. Tune in to hear my chat with James about his career & new music.

Continuing our conversations with candidates for Laramie County No. 1 Board of Trustees, Pastor Galen sits down with Shelly Downham, running for the South Triad area. This important local election occurs Nov. 8, 2022. IMPORTANT: Cheyenne Hills Church does not officially endorse any candidates. These interviews are meant to inform the voters in our audience. Multiple candidates were invited to participate.

In this wonderful Psalm of praise, David reveals a multi layered image of God as a redeemer, creator and provider. Each show his glory and draw us in to praise his name. Joe is our Downham site leader.

This week Joe looks at more of the character of God, revealed in Exodus particularly looking at how He is mecriful and gracious. Joe Macnamara is the leader of our Downham site.

Jesus is our Advocate with the father, pleading for us, standing for us. The anointed Christ, true mediator, reconciler, ruler, prophet, priest, king. One who cares for us, has our best interest at heart, knows us, is for us, pleads for us. In the high court of heaven, Jesus is our great advocate. Joe is our Downham site leader.

We are starting a new series called 'Gentle and Lowly' based out of a book with the same title by the American writer Dane Ortlund. Christians generally know what Jesus Christ has done. But who is He? What is He like, deep down? What is His deepest heart for His people, weary and faltering, as we journey towards heaven? Joe Macnamara our Downham site leader.

The Antioch Church was a thriving Church in many ways, but one area we must not overlook is the foundational role that prayer (with fasting) and worship played in the life of this community. Moses is one of the pastors at the Downham site.

What does Easter Sunday really mean? In His first encounter with the disciples after He raises from the dead, recorded in John 20, Jesus shows them that it means peace, purpose, and power! Joe is one of our Pastors and leader of our Downham site.

A discussion on burnout with Clare Downham and Thomas Leamy. Guest bio: Clare Downham was a headteacher when in March 2015 she walked out of work and never went back. A year after burning out, she resigned from her 20-year career in education and retrained as a hypnotherapist and more recently as a transformational coach. Until the start of 2020, Clare had immersed herself in self-development, therapy, reading and learning in an attempt to ‘fix' herself. She never felt like she was quite finished making change after change that was short-lived and she never felt quite good enough. Recently, Clare came upon a completely different way of understanding how human experience is created which has allowed her to finally be okay with who she is and where she is in life. Clare, known as the Queen of Calm - is the only coach to offer the antidote to self-development. She helps stressed out and anxious business owners to stop continually trying to fix themselves so they can connect to innate confidence, and finally fall into a place of self-acceptance. Links: https://claredownham.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/claredownhamqueenofcalm Host Bio: Thomas Leamy is a global citizen – having worked in or travelled to more than 50 countries. His experience in connecting with diverse groups of people and cultures all over the world, helped him realize just how similar we all are – regardless of nationality, race, culture, wealth or social status. As an Organizational Wellness Consultant & Psychology Coach, Thomas leads High Performance Strategy Europe (HPSE) and helps individuals, teams and SMEs demystify the psychology behind high performance and wellbeing. Parallel to his work with HPSE, Thomas also works as a consultant and is currently the director of a nation branding project focused on the Nordic Region – which he runs from his base in the Azores Islands. He is originally from Tipperary, Ireland and met his lovely wife Stuart while working in Malaysia in 2013. Thomas is currently completing a master's degree in business & organizational psychology from the University of Wolverhampton.
