Motherhood comes with a rulebook we never agreed to—a list of "shoulds" that tell us how to parent, sacrifice, and ignore our own needs. It's time to break the rules.

For this special live episode we took a trip to lovely Liverpool, and had a fabulous time. We discussed how our feelings about exercise have changed over the years, and what we've learned about the different ways we can motivate ourselves. We also showed off about the time we went to Everest, and told the story of how we visited the wrong Brookside. This episode is brought to you in partnership with Sweaty Betty.

We've got a live one! This special episode was recorded in front of a lovely audience at the Soho Hotel. We talk about our relationships with fitness - everything from Helen's epic running to Ellie's dodgy knees. We discuss how we both hated exercise at school, and why that changed as we got older. Helen explains how getting out of her marriage led to a change in mindset, and Ellie confuses herself with a complicated analogy about hobs and saucepans, or something.

This is a very special LIVE episode of The Mid•Point, in partnership with Sweaty Betty! Gabby is joined by not one, not two, but three brilliant guests this week: menstrual health expert, yoga teacher, and registered nutritionist, Le'Nise Brothers; lecturer in Reproductive and Molecular Genetics at University College London and CEO and Founder of Hertility, Dr Helen O'Neill; and former Olympian, personal trainer, and patron of the Menopause Mandate, Michelle Griffith Robinson. This lively panel discuss movement and exercise through different stages of women's lives; menstruation, maternity, and menopause. Their personal experiences are woven in with practical information about what is going on in our bodies at these different stages, and how movement and nutrition can play a part at each stage. In front of a brilliant audience of Mid•Pointers, they celebrate the joy of movement and the collective power of the sisterhood when women come together to share experiences and move their bodies. It's a perfect time to open up the conversation on this topic, because Sweaty Betty is celebrating the launch of their new FemTech collection. The innovative new collection is designed by women, for women, and includes the technical Leak Protect Power Legging and ultra-soft All Day Maternity styles, to empower women to keep moving through menstruation, maternity and menopause.Ready to try it out?

How does breathwork interact with our nervous system, access memories and help integrate traumatic memories? How has it got results treating auto-immune disease, addiction, agrophobia, PTSD and depression? How can it help sleep, detoxification, digestion, immunity, and taking control of negative thought patterns. In this episode we have the hugely popular practice of Breathwork to look into. After millennia of it being used in bodily practices like martial arts and yoga, conscious breathing was launched into our modern scientific world view by the work of psychologist Stan Grof, who developed Holotropic Breathing in the 1960's at Harvard, see our Transpersonal Psychology episode for more on that; Breathwork continued to gain in popularity following the focus on the lungs and breathing in near regulation proposed by Dr. Stephen Porges in his Polyvagal Theory, see our devoted episode with Dr. Porges for detail on that; And gained further in popularity with Dr. Pete Levine's development of Somatic Experiencing, who I am delighted to announce will be coming on the show in the next series, so look out for that. So having been present for some time in the trauma community, in the last few years the practice has exploded onto the wellbeing scene as well because of all its benefits both physiologically and psychologically. So who better to talk to about this than expert in a wide range of Breathwork and body-based therapies, Rebecca Dennis. She facilitates workshops, events and retreats alongside her public speaking and individual sessions. She is a gifted speaker and coach, specialising in breathwork, trauma release, somatic modalities, polyvagal theory and nervous system regulation. Part of her wide popularity is due to her having written three successful books on the topic, the latest being a new edition of Let it Go, “Let It Go and Breathe – A Practical Guide To Breathwork” which has been featured in Amazon and Sunday Times Best Sellers, and which we'll be discussing today. And she has also collaborated with Google, BBC, Stylist magazine and Sweaty Betty. What we discuss: 00:00 intro. 05:15 Breathwork explained 09:00 Repressing and controling emotions changes breathing. 12:00 Sympathetic vs parasympathetic nervous system. 20:50 Long deep breaths don't necessarily calm you down. 23:50 It's NOT hyperventilation or hyperoxygenation. 29:00 How traumatic memories can be brought up by the breath. 38:00 Rebecca's crisis that brought her to breathwork. 43:30 Benefits: Depression relief, confidence, sleep, detox, digestion, immunity, taking control of thought patterns. 46:00 “Let it go” book: the foundations of the breath in daily life, tips and methods. 47:40 Breathe yourself calm - lower abdominal breathing. 49:00 Anxiety is higher now than ever. 52:40 What's the right way to breathe? 59:00 Accessing altered states of consciousness without psychedelics. 59:45 Unlocking traumatic memories: Breath, psychedelics, EMDR. 01:01:00 Easing the symptoms without re-living the memories. 01:02:45 Some of her darkest memories have been her greatest teachers. 01:05:00 Increased resilience emotionally, physically and mentally. 01:07:20 Anti bacterial/anti viral Nitrous-oxide produced, improving immunity. 01:08:00 Gut-brain-cardio vascular system axis: anti-inflammatory effects. 01:11:45 Telomere length in meditators (caps on the end of chromosomes) Elizabeth Blackburn 2015 study. 01:13:30 Treating auto-immune disease, addiction, agrophobia, PTSD and depression using breathwork. 01:17:00 New book coming soon. 01:17:50 Her own new training school in Nov 2024.

Welcome to the Women's Running podcast: a very special Bake Off edition. We're your hosts, Esther Newman and Holly Taylor, and usually you can find us chatting about life and running – though, let's be honest, it's mostly the life bit. Every year we get terribly overexcited for the Great British Bake Off and discuss it at length on the pod. So here we are, turning it into its own spin off so we can dissect each episode properly. We'll be chatting about all the highs and lows from the Bake Off tent, playing total favourites and slagging off bakes we could never dream of producing ourselves. Whether you run while you listen, bake while you listen, or neither – enjoy this extra little morsel! SPOILER ALERT: Of course, this episode is chock full of spoilers. What did you expect? Go and watch this week's episode before listening! Bake Off series 14 episode 6: Botanicals WeekWe are properly confused at what constitutes a botanical, but on we march – apparently spices are allowed, and so we turn neatly on to… Signature: Spiced bunsEsther and Holly are in raptures at the flavours here; pretty much all the bakers do average to spot on, with some notable exceptions. Matty's hot cross buns are a bit rubbish, Dan's buns contain saffron – we debate its merits. Technical: Lemon & Thyme drizzle cake It's a Holly fave right here. She would have hoovered up every single one, and Esther would have gladly let her. Tasha is in trouble, Cristy is showing her stripes. Showstopper: FloralA mixed bag! But we are overwhelmed by some of the talent on display here. Not so much Matty's, but we love him, so we'll let it pass. We're choked at the loss of a fave. Next week: Desserts!

Welcome to the Women's Running podcast: a very special Bake Off edition. We're your hosts, Esther Newman and Holly Taylor, and usually you can find us chatting about life and running – though, let's be honest, it's mostly the life bit. Every year we get terribly overexcited for the Great British Bake Off and discuss it at length on the pod. So here we are, turning it into its own spin off so we can dissect each episode properly. We'll be chatting about all the highs and lows from the Bake Off tent, playing total favourites and slagging off bakes we could never dream of producing ourselves. Whether you run while you listen, bake while you listen, or neither – enjoy this extra little morsel!SPOILER ALERT: Of course, this episode is chock full of spoilers. What did you expect? Go and watch this week's episode before listening!Bake Off series 14 episode 5: Pastry WeekHolly's in her mourning clothes as we start pastry week, as we're not happy with a double elimination. But let's get into it: what are we baking this week?Signature: Picnic piesWe issue a public apology to a baker we thought would be long gone by now and practice our pronunciation of spanakopita. We also get a Hollywood Handshake and discuss our favourite potato dishes.Technical: Dauphinois Pithivier It's been a pithivier-heavy week at Women's Running HQ, believe it or not. The bakers have us salivating, but we're also questioning some potato prep methods here.Showstopper: Sweet decorative piesWe've got a lot of opinions about fruit tarts, as it turns out. Two bakers' fates are sealed and a dark horse takes Star Baker.

Welcome to episode 167 of the Women's Running podcast. I'm your host Esther Newman and she's your other host Holly Taylor. On this podcast we talk about health, politics, stuff on TV and what we ate last night. Occasionally, we talk about running. Run eventsIn this episode we're chatting to Lucy Wood from RunThrough events. RunThrough runs absolutely hundreds of events throughout the UK, and she's here to talk to us about the stuff they're doing to make their events more inclusive, more fun, and more available for women and for everyone of all abilities. We get to talk about race pricing, race t-shirts, and other controversial issues – such as calling races ‘events' rather than races! Much better. Marathon taperingFor the bits either side, we discuss Harry Potter accents – and after a good ten minutes, we get on to running. I'm struggling with the final weeks of training leading up to the NY marathon – even the tapering is HARD, and maranoia is setting in. Join us!Big news!

We also share our favourite flourless cake memories and pick our fave bake from the tent.Technical: Caramelised white chocolate cheesecakeEsther is, unsurprisingly, horrified by this technical. Two bakers rise up the ranks while things start to look rocky for our reigning favourite. Another baker leaves the tent due to illness and we debate the GBBO protocol around this.Showstopper: Chocolate box cakeSomeone's been doing something very dodgy with some raisins, as a shock ending has us dissecting the secrets of reality tv.

On this podcast we talk about health, politics, stuff on TV and what we ate last night. Occasionally, we talk about running.Psychology tipsWe have a treat for you this episode in the shape of the wonderful Josephine Perry, Sports Psychologist extraordinaire. As a friend of the pod, a previous guest, and our secret weapon at the Paris Half, she got in contact with us last week after listening to the episode where I confessed a lack of confidence ahead of the New York Marathon.Marathon tricksSo she's here to teach us all some tricks to keep us going not only in the last weeks of training, but on the day itself – because as we all know the struggle is very often in our minds rather than our legs. Warning: I'm a snivelling wreck by the end. But her advice is a godsend for anyone facing a big goal, and really easy to do at home.Join us!Big news!

Sorry, Paul, we're just big Prue fans over here. Anyway, let's see how the bakers get on with trying to impress the supposed Bread King himself. Signature: Cottage loaf Did the producers pick this challenge just so we'd be forced to watch a dozen shots of people plunging two fingers into a dough hole? We certainly think so. Two bakers start to look a bit worried and we have our first glass breakage of the series. Technical: Devonshire Split Sorry, but the less said about this the better. Unfortunately, we didn't take this advice while recording, resulting in quite a bit of below-the-belt chat. Showstopper: Plaited bread We've got words to eat as well as loaves here, listeners. It's bye bye to a baker we thought would make it to the bitter end.

We're bookending the wonderful Lucy Gossage here. Lucy is an oncologist (and a superstar triathlete) on a mission to debunk the myth that “rest is best” for people undergoing cancer treatment. Five years ago, she founded 5K Your Way, as part of Move Charity, which encourages people undergoing treatment to work towards and complete 5K in whatever way works for them. Here she talks about how the campaign started, and some stories of people who have benefitted from it along the way. Couch to 5KHolly and I rattle on about Holly's return to Couch to 5K, and my exhaustion with marathon training. We address the age-old controversy of jogging at traffic lights, before reminding you of an important date in the Pod Squad calendar – our 10K special evening out. November 9th! Buy tickets!

Marcia Kilgore was born to be an entrepreneur. "I found it very difficult to take direction from other people, … and I always found it difficult to work in places where the standards of the person who was running the place were, from my perspective, mediocre; it would frustrate me to no end," she said on the latest episode of the Glossy Podcast. Plus, her personality traits are befitting a successful entrepreneur, she said. Among them: "being super curious, being solution-oriented, loving to experiment, having solutions for any kind of hurdles or roadblocks that come along, and being tough enough to never give in." Based on her track record, she's used that to her advantage. Kilgore sold her first business, Bliss Spa, to LVMH in 1999. That was before starting the "masstige" beauty brand Soap & Glory, which she sold to Walgreens Boots Alliance in 2011. In the years since, she's launched Soaper Duper, Beauty Pie and FitFlop, the latter of which she described as a groundbreaker among footwear brands. "I had this idea for a shoe that would align your body when you walked in it and give you energy [by] rebounding the energy from the ground up," she said. "Shoes had always just been drawn [by designers]. No one was thinking about how the shoe affects the person walking in it. … [FitFlop] is really an engineering company." Kilgore said her entry into the footwear category, after building her career in beauty, made sense given that she'd been "very into reflexology" while running her spa business. As a one-time personal trainer, she was also into wellness. The shoe "connected the dots," in terms of her experience, she said. Since first launching through the retailer Sweaty Betty — through which one customer email sold 8,000 pairs of its shoes — FitFlop has taken off internationally. Now, having opened the brand's first U.S. store, in SoHo in April, Kilgore is charting its stateside growth.

Did you know that a good bra can make you run faster? It begs the question – why do trainers get all the limelight? Asking if sports bras are for everyone or just athletes, underwear obsessives Emily Cronin (FT; Elle) and Kate Finnigan (FT; vogue.com) meet pioneering scientist Joanna Wakefield-Scurr, England rugby superstar Rosie Galligan, and Charly Wright, brand manager for the company who supply the British Army's female recruits. Plus they conduct the ultimate (completely non-scientific) sports bra test run at the London Marathon. “If I can't have a sports bra I will not be playing. For me it's part of my kit bag.” - Rosie Galligan “It's an area where once again women's physical needs have been overlooked, if not disregarded and certainly under-protected.” - Charly Wright “If you wear a good sports bra it can actually improve your heart rate.” - Joanna Wakefield-Scurr Follow Hello Girls on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hellogirls_pod/ Send us your underwear disasters and triumphs: hellogirls@podmasters.co.uk Whatsapp your voice notes to: 07770 182925 Written and presented by Emily Cronin and Kate Finnigan.

TW: eating disordersAll this week, I'll be dropping the recordings of our How To Fail live shows, held at Shoredtich Town Hall earlier this year.Now, I know we shouldn't have favourites. Having a podcast and labelling one of your episodes as your 'favourite' is akin to choosing your preferred child. But, sod it, this is one of my favourite conversations of all time. Caitlin Moran is as brilliant, witty and generous as you might expect. Here, she talks about the terrible sadness of realising her daughter had an eating disorder and how she didn't deal with it in the right way at first. She also talks about childhood insecurities, learning to love herself, the joy of female solidarity and plenty more. You will laugh. But you might also cry, so do bring some tissues.--This podcast was recorded on 6th October 2022 in Shoreditch Town Hall and is sponsored by Sweaty Betty.

All this week, I'll be dropping the recordings of our How To Fail live shows, held at Shoredtich Town Hall earlier this year.To kick off, I asked back one of our most cherished guests of all time: the inimitable Mo Gawdat. As regular listeners of How To Fail know, Mo first appeared on this podcast way back in season four. His interview blew my mind and changed how I lived my life. I asked him back during the first Covid-19 lockdown to help us navigate our way through the crisis. And now, here he is again: my very special friend, on how to handle anxiety, how to cope with grief (and keep on living through unimaginable loss), how to be happy and how to lean into love.--This episode was recorded live at Shoreditch Town Hall on 5th October 2022 and sponsored by Sweaty Betty.

This episode is sponsored by Sweaty Betty. In this episode, it's the morning after I've been out-out. I've been to see the Scummy Mummies and begin this episode retelling a joke that's too rude to repeat here. After a long section on hair removal, for which I make no apology, we have a bit of a chat about what we're up to. And then we decide to go back to the beginning to discuss where we've come from and where we're going. This is a little bit like one of those Insta squares where people go, “ooh I've got a million new followers, I should introduce who I am!” – and that's exactly what it is, without the million followers. We want to properly introduce ourselves and explain how we've got to where we've got with our running and our lives and how we view sport and our bodies. All of this colours what we want to do next – our goals and ambitions with running, so there are a lot of uncovered secrets and honesty in this episode about how we felt about exercise and all sorts through school, university and beyond. We end with the advice we'd give our younger selves, and how we've devised our own life philosophies, which we're obviously extremely pleased about.LinksPre-register for the Women's Running Podcast Paris Half Marathon (aka Pod Squad Go Mad in Paris) right here.

This episode is sponsored by Sweaty Betty. We start off by talking about herbal teas and Hoovers, because that's the way we are. We then move reluctantly on to running. Holly is planning her first 5K post half marathon, and I have some ideas about keeping her running oar in so to speak. At this point we chat about the Paris Half on March 5th 2023, as this will be her biggest motivator when it comes to winter running. This is big for us as we want you to join us! We've partnered with Sports Tours to organise a nice discount and a load of other benefits to try and get as many of you along with us as possible. All you have to do is pre-register for just £50 – that £50 is then fully refundable against the price of the package. Full details of the packages will be released on November 24th, but as a guide package prices start from £219, based on two sharing, without flights (but flights are super cheap at the mo). The package includes accommodation in central Paris, support from expert Sports Tours reps, a shake-down run, a pasta party, and post-event drinks with us featuring – we hope - a live podcast recording! Plus everyone that joins us will receive a limited edition Women's Running Sports Tours hoody! It's almost too exciting. Link below!We also talk about other things we can do to keep our fitness up through the winter. I touch on SAD and depression, so please be aware of that if it's triggering for you. Full disclosure, I find winter very hard in terms of my mental health, but one thing I found extremely helpful this year was signing up to RED January – having a calendar to tick things off was very grounding, and helped move me through the month. And I truly believe that building new habits in terms of my fitness has prevented injuries and has made me a better runner. I reckon you should all do that with Holly and me, too, and this is a bit easier as it's free.

Earned: Strategies and Success Stories From the Best in Beauty + Fashion
In Ep. 55 of Earned, we sit down with Dan Reich—entrepreneur, investor, and co-founder of top-ranking, probiotic-powered skincare brand TULA. We start the episode by diving into Dan's entrepreneurial trajectory, beginning with his first company in high school, to co-founding software companies Spinback and Troops, both of which were acquired by Salesforce, to launching TULA with Ken Landis and Dr. Roshini Raj. We learn why Dan decided to hire an outside CEO for TULA, and what made both Julia Straus (now the CEO of Sweaty Betty) and current leader Savannah Sachs the best fits for the role. Dan then shares the rationale behind TULA's influencer marketing philosophies and approach, explaining why the brand looked beyond the traditional beauty influencer to drive momentum. We unpack the differences between the influencer relationships that worked well for TULA versus those that didn't, and Dan emphasizes the importance of building long-lasting, mutually beneficial partnerships. To close the show, we discuss the evolution of the social media landscape, and Dan reiterates why word-of-mouth marketing, a tactic as old as time, is only going to continue to accelerate.
