Podcast appearances and mentions of marianne power

My guest today knows a thing or two about being single, and she's hear to tell you that there's more than one way to live an emotionally fulfilling life.  Marianne Power is a journalist who made a perfectly decent living testing things so you didn't have to - mascara, spa retreats, you get the gist - until the decision to spend a year testing self help books changed her life in ways she'd never expected. The resulting book, Help me! Has since sold hundreds of thousands of copies, been translated into 25 languages and been optioned for TV. Clearly something about her funny, candid, vulnerable approach struck a chord. But as she turned 40, Marianne still had questions. Namely, why were all her friends merrily ticking boxes on the life to-do list and she wasn't… love eluded her, so she decided to try the same approach. In Love me! She looks at society's obsession with marriage, kids and domesticity and whether you can love and be loved without them. I met Marianne in London to talk about rewriting the stories we tell ourselves about love and sex and why there's more than one soulmate for everyone (and, no,) they don't have to be sexual. We also talked anxiety, growing up ginger, being childfree by choice, tantra and, the kicker, why sex is not a reward for being young and hot.  Find out more about Jan Day's tantra workshops at https://www.janday.com/ * You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at The Shift bookshop on Bookshop.org, including Love Me! by Marianne Power and the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me. * If you enjoyed this episode and you fancy buying me a coffee, pop over to my page on buymeacoffee.com. • And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including exclusive transcripts of the podcast, why not join The Shift community, come and have a look around at www.theshiftwithsambaker.substack.com • The Shift (on life after 40) with Sam Baker is created and hosted by Sam Baker and edited by Juliette Nicholls @ Pineapple Audio Production.

Marianne Power breaks and mends our hearts in equally beautiful measure. She's vulnerable, she's generous, she's deeply thoughtful. Here, Marianne explains how her terror of being a bad person translated into physical illness, and how she's trying her hardest (with the help of Gabor Mate) to shake off those shackles. Her new book, Love Me, absolutely captures everything WE love about Marianne. It's going to be a huge hit, and you need to be a part of that story. Hosted on Acast.

Listener Week is when all the topics, interviews and discussions are chosen by YOU!What is it like to parent a neurodivergent child when you are neurodivergent yourself? Anita Rani speaks to listener Rachel, who discovered she had ADHD after her daughter was diagnosed, and Jo, whose children have dyslexia.How one moment or person can change your life's trajectory. Listener Bettie tells Anita how a childhood invite to a friend's house introduced her to a new way of life—one she says saved her. The menstrual cycle, periods, time of the month. One listener, Tracey, wanted to know what things were like for women dealing with this in centuries past. Anita finds out more from Dr Sara Read, who is a Senior Lecturer in English at Loughborough University, with a specific focus on women's reproductive health and a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.A listener asked us on social media: How can childless people leave a legacy? Statistics from the Office for National Statistics found that more than half (50.1%) of women in England and Wales born in 1990 were without a child when they turned 30. Whether it's by choice or circumstance, many women don't have children – what legacy do you leave without them? Anita discusses the idea with author Marianne Power and Nicola Brant who is Head of the Estates, Tax & Succession at the firm Thomson Snell & Passmore. As part of Listener Week, we discussed tummies and feeling confident about your midriff. One listener got in touch to say she'd started belly dancing to help with this. Belly dance instructor Leilah Isaac tells Anita why she finds it so empowering.Presented by Anita Rani Producer: Louise Corley

Una historia más o menos real que es entretenida y no deja de ser otra manera de leer un libro que es de autoayuda pero visto des de otro punto de vista.

London based journalist Marianne Power talks about her recent book “Help Me! One Woman's Quest to Find Out if Self Help Can Really Change Your Life!” Her journey of reading one self help book a month for one year and living by the rules of these books to see where it took her is a fascinating glimpse into the world of self-help and the failure that is so easy to experience on this intense quest for wellbeing. Exhilarated by the confidence she gained by persevering through her challenges, she was also surprised by the exhaustion she experienced from such constant self-examination. Her honest portrayal of going out of her comfort zone and diving deep into the under belly of herself was profound. After multiple ups and downs, she realized her expectations of a perfect life at the end of the year was impossible to attain. What came out of this incredible experience of soul searching was the understanding that she was perfect in all of her imperfections and the messiness of being human.

On the pod today, Marianne talks about her adventure in self-help to see whether it could change her life.  Every month for a year and a half, Marianne followed the guidance of a different self-help book and documented all the things she did along the way in her quest for self-improvement.  From life modelling, to chatting up stranger on the London underground, experimenting with rejection, running across hot coals and asking angels for advice - Marianne tried a host of things as part of her experiment, and tells us about the effect it had on her, her family and her relationship.  Thank you so much to Marianne for speaking with me; her book Help Me is available now: https://www.panmacmillan.com/authors/marianne-power/help-me/9781509888559

Do we ever really change? I've spent 20 years attempting to help individuals and companies to grow and develop so the concept that people are capable of change sits right at the heart of that. If we don't ever change, what have I been doing all this time?! Of course, we do change. Life changes us. We gain new insights, we learn new lessons. And a lot of our development is really about unpicking bad habits of thinking and behaving that we've picked up along the way in order to reveal the true “me” rather than actually changing who we are. Today's guest is the wonderful Marianne Power. An author and journalist, she's a self-confessed Self Help Junkie. A few years ago she set herself the task of working through 12 self-help books and doing what they told her to do TO THE LETTER. She's now written a book about it called Help Me! I really enjoyed talking to Marianne. She's funny, thoughtful and has tonnes of experiences having experimented on herself for 16 months. You'll enjoy hearing more about some of the ideas and practices she focused on, what made a difference (and what didn't) and what she learnt about change as a result. I highly recommend the book - available at Amazon and you can follow her on Facebook “The Help Me Blog” and her website We cover - The Power of Now The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Fuck It! The journey of change Whether we change Lessons Marianne learnt from her experiences Brené Brown Marianne's most useful self-help tools Key take away from this interview - We need community. Self-help implies that you do this alone but successful change is never done alone We need a blend of the woo-woo and the practical No single approach solves all problems You don't always get out of the journey what you expected to get! But you get something! The journey of change and growth is never over, it just evolves Do something, get started! You can stay in touch with us on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter and of course, the website.

Marianne Power decided that her life needed to change, so she set herself a radical, and surprising, challenge.We’ve all tried self-help books, but most of us tend to give up quite quickly. Journalist Marianne Power was just like that, so one hungover morning she decided that she needed to make a change.She was going to try to really live by the advice in self-help books – one book a month for a whole year – and write about her experiences. Her book, Help Me, has just been released in the UK.Marianne’s crazy year really pushed her to her limits and made her try terrifying things she’d never done before – from posing naked for a life-drawing class to performing stand-up comedy and chatting up strangers on the tube.

We cannot wait for you to listen to this week’s episode because we got to interview Marianne Power as she talked to us about her brilliant new book ‘Help Me! One woman’s quest to find out if self-help really can change her life”. A book which saw her road test one self-help book a month for a year! The quest for happiness is something a lot of us can relate to and Marianne describes this with such refreshing honesty and intimacy. As she says in the podcast ‘“Being a human is a really up and down road” and maybe realising that we do not need to be fixed (because we are not broken) and that we are already good enough as we are, is the most liberating discovery we could ever have in life. We came away from this interview feeling so full of love and compassion. There is such a beautiful vulnerability in the way that Marianne shares her story in the book, it is so deeply personal and moving whilst also being wonderfully funny.
