Podcast appearances and mentions of melanie sykes

Claire Davis is one half of the Midlife Mentors – the other is her husband James. They are multi-award winning coaches who've helped thousands of people have a complete reset, midlife. Whether it's weight, fitness, career, relationships, self-esteem or all of these and more,  Claire and James want to help us all thrive. They've worked with celebrities like Melanie Sykes and Ashley Roberts. They run one of Europe's most successful luxury fitness retreat companies, and they have their own podcast, The Midlife Mentors. On top of all this, their work has also been highlighted in all different national newspapers and magazines. The reason I'm replaying the episode is – for the first time we're going to do a Next Chapter Deep Dive with Claire. I am beyond excited/thrilled she's coming back on the podcast. Claire was one of the very first supporters of the Next Chapter and I can't wait to speak to her again. (I thought I'd share the episode which is her own Next Chapter story and you can see/remember how refreshingly honest she is.) But now we want to talk about - well, you. What are the questions you have for Claire and how can she help? Are you: Still pondering a Next Chapter but have no idea where to begin? Would you like to lose some stubborn pounds for the summer months, but can't stop reaching for the biscuit tin? Do you a constant stream of negative thinking which you know is holding you back? Are you struggling to organise your time or find the time to do what you really want? Are you feeling burnt out and exhausted, like you're trying everything but not getting far? Are you totally confused by what you should or should not eat, drink, do or simply just be with all the conflicting advice ? (…Or is this all just me too?) The point is, we'd love to hear from you. I'm recording the Deep Dive next Tuesday 2nd July, so please message with your questions. I don't have to say your name on the podcast and you can just reply to this email or message me on Instagram (@elliebarkerwrites) or email (ellie@elliebarkerwrites.com)

In this episode of the It's Not About The Money podcast (formerly the In Her Financial Shoes podcast) I am joined by author and speaker, Melanie Sykes. From talking about environmental issues to sharing her understanding of autism and neuro divergence, Melanie is using her profile to open up these frank conversations that women need to be having. During our conversation, Melanie and I discussed neuro divergence and how it had an impact on our money beliefs, and despite not being diagnosed until later in life, the steps that we took to manage this. As Melanie shares in her book, Illumination, spreading the word and the message far and wide is going to heal the problems. What we have is evidence of the impact that we can have through awareness and discussion.   In this episode: Why we cannot mask but rather we are conforming to societal norms What it means to change when something just doesn't fit anymore How to tune into your internal sat nav Treatments and techniques that positively impact the nervous system   Resources: Get my FREE book 'It's Not About The Money' Take the Money StoryTypes® Quiz Join Catherine's FREE Facebook Group 'The Wealthy Women Community' Catherine's YouTube Channel Connect with Catherine on Instagram  Connect with Catherine on Facebook Find out about our Wealthy Woman School® Apply to join the Wealth Evolution Mastermind Connect with Melanie on Instagram Find out more about Frank magazine on the Website and Instagram Get Melanie's Book Illuminated: Autism & All the Things I've Left Unsaid

Hosted by Fr Alex Frost, Vicar St Matthews Burnley, Follow on Twitter @alexdjfrost Melanie Sykes has been a face on our screens, a voice on our radios for nearly thirty years. As a presenter and broadcaster people turned to her for her humour, her honesty and insight. But between all the interviews and chat shows, is a life unseen, a story unsaid. Her journey – from up north to down south, from Manchester to LA and via London, Paris and India, and through the eye of the storm of celebrity culture is a rollercoaster ride. Sex, drugs and rock and roll, certainly, but also brass bands and ice cream vans, broken hearts and healing adventures – a search not for fame but for freedom. Her autism diagnosis in midlife has supercharged that journey – and means this isn't a story just of breakdown, but of breakthrough. Funny, furious and gloriously frank, this is a book that lifts the lid on being a woman in the media, navigating relationships, and being a neurodivergent person speaking up in a neurotypical world. Illuminated is Melanie, in her own inimitable voice.

How does it feel to walk into a room and know that everyone already thinks they know all there is to know about you. That's the position today's guest, Melanie Sykes has found herself in repeatedly over the last thirty years.After starting out modelling and then moving into TV and radio presenting, Melanie decided she'd well and truly had enough in her 40s, and stepped back from broadcasting to reclaim her own narrative. She launched her magazine Frank in 2016 and has now followed that up with a book, Illuminated: Autism and all the things I've left unsaid. In it she discusses the good, the bad and the often ugly of a life lived under the camera's glare, and of being, as she puts it, "too young and too famous for comfort."I met Melanie in a studio in North London to talk about discovering her creativity in her 40s, the relief of being diagnosed with autism and ADHD at 51 and what she learnt from her subsequent breakdown.Melanie talks candidly about the way the media has portrayed her, being sapiosexual, taking a year out from sex, why it's rare to find a man of her own age with as much energy as her and she won't be settling any time soon. As you'll hear, after a lifetime in the male gaze, nobody's telling Melanie's story but her.* You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at The Shift bookshop on Bookshop.org, including Illuminated: Autism and all the things I've left unsaid by Melanie Sykes and the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me.* 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 transcripts of the podcast, please consider joining The Shift community.

Many more women are discovering they're autistic later in life.  Including many women who may not appear to fit the ‘stereotypical' perceptions of autism.  Like TV presenter Melanie Sykes, model and TV presenter Christine McGuinness (wife of Top Gear presenter Paddy) and Period Power author Maisie Hill.  I've talked openly about my diagnosis of ADHD. Earlier this year I discovered that I'm also autistic. Something that has taken me longer to feel comfortable talking about - mainly I feel because of my fear of not being ‘believed'. Mainly due to peoples' stereotypical and, quite frankly, outdated views on what autism looks like - particularly in women.  In this episode of the Courageous Content Podcast (which you can also read as a blog) I share what led me to this discovery and how it's impacting my life and business.  Key Links https://janetmurray.co.uk/the-courators-club/?utm_source=captivate&utm_medium=podcast&utm_term=&utm_content=&utm_campaign=club (Janet Murray's Courators Club) https://janetmurray.co.uk/courageous-blog-content-kit/?utm_source=captivate&utm_medium=podcast&utm_term=&utm_content=&utm_campaign=blogging-kit (Janet Murray's Courageous Blog Content Kit) https://janetmurray.co.uk/courageous-content-live-newcastle/?utm_source=captivate&utm_medium=podcast&utm_term=&utm_content=&utm_campaign=cclive-2022 (Janet Murray's Courageous Content Live event) https://janetmurray.co.uk/courageous-email-lead-magnet-kit-waitlist/?fbclid=IwAR0kdtOMdep1SEik_HGIfcXEcK_SjTslRkuY-EthxdGCQDytVgMTj4olV18?utm_source=captivate&utm_medium=podcast&utm_term=&utm_content=&utm_campaign=lead-magnet-kit (Save £30 on my Courageous Email Lead Magnet Content Kit using the code MAGNET67.) https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fjanetmurray.co.uk%2Fbusiness-basics-content-kit%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR0Gn0X8LN0BP6FpjxJbRdEhtRmB4905AZiQXKHCPpR4z4_Bh3HPfCC6KiQ&h=AT0Bsmss2i3rp_9AS1bM-3zcJ-OAm_7-7Zvj-oZcWYrL_KqRrpmXzDZ5fgq5fLL3fmF5yw1EcfpLaGTteHjVpe6CV_RxjBCjFRZ3hNXbKbt2qAMf-IhILZ3rzQyhhUBS6D0?utm_source=captivate&utm_medium=podcast&utm_term=&utm_content=&utm_campaign=business-kit (Save £30 on my Business Basics Content Kit using the code PODCAST67.) https://janetmurray.co.uk/courageous-launch-content-kit/?utm_source=captivate&utm_medium=podcast&utm_term=&utm_content=&utm_campaign=launch-kit (Save £30 on my Courageous Launch Content Kit using the code PODCAST67. ) https://janetmurray.co.uk/product/courators-kit/?utm_source=captivate&utm_medium=podcast&utm_term=&utm_content=&utm_campaign=courators-kit (Janet Murray's Courators Kit) https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fjanetmurray.co.uk%2Fthe-ultimate-course-launch-checklist%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR3dsPrPU0ya0myvtFeElsM-hthLgszz_hihZD_mQTNTBrAZ-wRgGdfa3ek&h=AT233KuUmv2ZPYdDXerw4bdUqik7OgnFRZyEWYtWUFttj3cC0L6UvPt2fO7hUxRpkG9nAdGQVtIIhWo_IwmSIZENnkhFrVpt0nDWEfuG3XJ9YtRqQk5VHB0AZf_PkueK3vM (Janet Murray's FREE Ultimate Course Launch Checklist) http://www.courageouscontentplanner.com/?utm_source=captivate&utm_medium=podcast&utm_term=&utm_content=&utm_campaign=planner (Janet Murray's Courageous Content Planner) https://janetmurray.co.uk/how-i-discovered-i-had-adhd-and-why-its-my-superpower-as-an-entrepreneur/ (How I discovered I had ADHD (and why it's my superpower as an entrepreneur)) (podcast) Samantha Craft: http://www.myspectrumsuite.com/samantha-crafts-autistic.../ (Autistic Woman's Checklist) https://www.youtube.com/c/YoSamdySam (Yo Samdy Sam) (YouTube Channel)...

‘The Drifters Girl' is a musical which tells the story of Faye Treadwell, one of the first Black women to manage a vocal group in the US. Singer and actor Beverley Knight plays Faye. We discuss the ongoing appeal of the Cinderella story with Faye Campbell who is playing Cinderella at York Theatre Royal and Dr Nicola Darwood who recently co-edited a new book with Alexis Weedon called Re-telling Cinderella: Cultural and Creative Transformations. On Tuesday Sikh Women's Aid launched a report into domestic abuse and child sexual abuse within the Sikh community. Conducted via anonymous surveys sent out over the summer, the survey of nearly 700 respondents showed that 70% had experienced domestic violence and 35% had experienced child sexual abuse or exploitation. To tell us more about this report and what can be done to help the issue, we're joined by the co-founder of Sikh Women's Aid and co-author of the report, Sahdaish Pall. We used to have YOLO, then FOMO, now we have HOGO. Post lockdown, the fear of missing out no longer plagues us. We have become too comfortable sitting on our sofas watching TV. The effort of putting good clothes on and leaving the house is too much. This hassle of going out (HOGO) has been blamed by the hospitality industry for an increase in the number of no-shows at restaurants and paid-for live events. We talk to psychotherapist and author of Happy Relationships: At Home, Work and Play, Lucy Beresford and actor Sadie Clark whose play, Algorithms, is on at Soho Theatre in December. TV and radio presenter Melanie Sykes has just announced that she's been diagnosed with autism at the age of 51. She says it's 'truly life changing, or rather life affirming… and so many things make sense'. She tells us more. Presenter Zara McDermott's new BBC documentary explores sexual harassment, teenagers, and what impact school is having. We speak to Zara and two contributors who feature in the documentary - activist Zan Moon and 14 year old Trinity.

When the television presenter Melanie Sykes and the model Christine McGuinness revealed they had been diagnosed with autism as adults, it brought new attention to the challenges for others like them whose symptoms have been missed. This is the story of one autistic woman - and how diagnosis in her thirties changed her life. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/infocus

TV and radio presenter Melanie Sykes has just announced that she's been diagnosed with autism at the age of 51. She says it's 'truly life changing, or rather life affirming… and so many things make sense'. She tells us more. Colin Pitchfork, the man who murdered and raped Lynda Mann and Dawn Ashworth but was released from prison recently, has been sent back to jail for breaking his licence conditions. We speak to the former Justice Secretary, Robert Buckland, who always maintained that Pitchfork should remain behind bars. We also hear from Dawn's uncle, Philip Musson. David Salmon comes onto the programme to talk about his wife, who took her life last year after suffering extreme menopausal symptoms. He wants other men to pick up on signs that the women in their lives may be struggling. We have the fourth episode of our series on toxic relationships.

As we're now well into Sober October, and with Dry January already on the horizon, this month's Real Podcast is bound to be focused on not drinking. Not that we're against alcohol, of course. Alcohol is not the problem. What fascinates us, and what we're really keen to investigate over the coming episodes, is the way in which our society tends to dive neck first into what can only be described as an unthinking drinking culture.As usual, we've been out to chat to people who we've met on the Real Kombucha journey – people who like to think a little differently and look at things through an alternative lens.On the way through this month's podcasts, we'll be hearing a lot of personal stories, some of which are quite harrowing, but they all have a common outcome: positivity. The desire to make a positive change and to help others to do the same.We'll be talking to people who came of age in the hard-drinking nineties culture, as well as younger non-drinkers currently running some of the biggest sober curious Instagram accounts. We'll also be talking to people who are hoping to make changes from inside the drinking industry. It's going to be a fascinating month.One person who has really gone to the heart of this and started opening people's eyes to the peculiarity of our accepted drinking culture is Lucy Rocca. Lucy launched the incredibly helpful Soberistas platform after shaking off the shackles of a particularly fraught relationship with alcohol and realising that, like so many people, Alcoholics Anonymous wasn't necessarily for her.As of this moment, Soberistas have close to 11,000 Facebook followers, 60,000 registered members, and a website containing 54,000 articles relating to what people are calling the Sober Curious Movement.I caught up with Lucy on a rickety phone line from Sheffield to discuss the sinister rise of Wine O'Clock, memories of Melanie Sykes and her Boddingtons Ice Cream van, and why it's perhaps not a good idea to go drinking in theme parks.Go on… have a listen.
