Tamu Thomas is a transformational somatic leadership coach, the eldest daughter of West African immigrants, a mother, a speaker, and now a published author!Tamu's first book, Women Who Work Too Much, helps overachieving, overfunctioning women set boundaries, find joy, and flourish.This conversation was a balm, and I suspect fellow Gen X women in particular, will feel seen and understood. We are the generation that grew up being told we could have it all. Now, we find ourselves in our 40s and 50s—often our most creatively fulfilling years - doing too much during menopause while parenting teens and caring for parents and wondering why we are so bloody tired.In this conversation, we discuss natural (rather than toxic) productivity, radical rest, and why work (not overwork) can be a positive thing. This is such an important conversation for those of us who have blurred the boundaries between work, rest, and play (me, too!).Resources for you:Women Who Work Too Much by Tamu ThomasTamu on Instagram @tamu.thomasTamu on TikTok @tamu_thomas Get full access to Courage & Spice at saspetherick.substack.com/subscribe

Do you catch yourself measuring your worth by how much you do, and how much what you do benefits others? If so, you're not alone. As my guest today, Tamu Thomas, says – it's not your fault.Tamu Thomas is the author of the groundbreaking book, Women Who Work Too Much: Break Free from Toxic Productivity. She's a transformational coach and thought-provoking keynote speaker, passionately advocating for the well-being and success of high-achieving women. Tamu's mission is to dismantle the societal and systemic barriers that lead to burnout, helping women create work lives that feel deeply fulfilling and aligned with their values.Through her coaching, speaking, and writing, Tamu addresses the complex relationship between productivity, joy, and well-being. She empowers ambitious women to transition from toxic productivity cycles to lives where rest, self-worth, and authentic ambition coexist.Join us in this conversation as we explore how to break free from toxic productivity, heal, and become the change the world so desperately needs.In this conversation we explored:- Tamu's journey from growing up in a lineage of women who worked tirelessly and learned early on that hard work was tied to worthiness. We discuss the impact of intergenerational experiences, how these shape our epigenetics and the woman we become.- How she realised that the struggle to work too much isn't personal, but systemic. Tamu shares insights on how many of us end up caught in cycles of overwork, the addictive nature of productivity, and the damaging link between rewards and burnout. We also explore why rest often feels shameful.- Why understanding our biology is key. We're cyclical beings, we can't be on 24/7, we must learn to listen to the needs of our body and name our feelings and emotions.- How we can all break the cycle of toxic productivity, namely by honoring our legacies, healing ancestral wounds, and transforming trauma into power. Tamu shares simple and so powerful practices to navigate overwhelm and turn burnout into a pathway for renewal.Enjoy!Receive my free mini course: From body shame and disconnect to joy and into the fullness of your creative power: - www.flurinathali.com/ ---The Soft Rebellion Podcast is created and hosted by Flurina Dominique Thali.

In spite of being a shining light of a human being, Tamu was not immune to burnout, and it features in her story like it does in so many - but in Tamu's case she knew there was more for her and used it as an opportunity to do a lot of self-work, and start again, and the insight she has gained - and now shares - as a result, is truly transformative.  In this episode Tamu breaks down toxic productivity, where it comes from and what it means for us, plus how to tackle hard conversations at home. We also dive into the systems keeping us small, matriarchy, owning your power, and how to do some of the crucial self-work to know yourself in ways that allow you to ask for what you want and what you need.

Start with the work you have to do each day or each week at home. And then write down the activities you have to do each day or each week at work.Step 2: Read back through the list you've just written, marking the activities that you enjoy doing with a heart and the activities that you either don't enjoy doing, or you find you're doing too much with a cross. Step 3: Go one by one through the activities that you marked with a cross and for each one, ask yourself how you could take this activity off your plate so you no longer have to do it at all, how you could get help with it if you can't take it off your plate completely, or how you can make it easier or more enjoyable for yourself (I give examples in the episode).Step 4: Write down a list of activities that fill up your cup, that recharge your batteries and bring you joy. The simple stuff that you can do day to day, everything from having a hot bath to going for a bike ride, to meeting up with friends, to having an early night with a great book.Step 5: Open up your calendar and book in three of those things over the next seven days, setting a reminder alarm on your phone if you need it.If you enjoyed today's episode, please follow and leave a review! And if you're ready to learn how to work less and enjoy your life more, come and check out my Coaching Programmes and how they can help you bring about change in your life and career.x Selina This is a public episode.

Welcome to…Another Way!My brand new podcast where I explore and unpack the collective narratives and limiting beliefs that seem to be keeping so many of us trapped on a treadmill of daily grind and exhaustion and stopping us from living the lives we really want to be living. Over the next six episodes I'll be joined by an amazing line-up of guests who are each dedicated to shining a light on the collective narratives that are keeping us stuck, showing us that there is another way and how we can each break free from the traditional beliefs that are holding us back, so that we can finally start to thrive.And I cannot wait for you to hear this first episode, where we'll be diving into the topic of SUCCESS - exploring how our traditional beliefs around success can be the very thing keeping us trapped on that treadmill of daily grind and exhaustion.To help us explore this juicy topic and how to finally break free from our obsession with achievement, I am joined by the amazing Emma Gannon, Sunday Times bestselling non-fiction author, award-winning novelist & creator of popular newsletter The Hyphen.Emma's latest book, The Success Myth, has been taking the world by storm and is now, officially, one of my favourite books of all time (if you haven't already got a copy, treat yourself to one today!)It is such a powerful book and one that I honestly believe everyone needs to read, because whether you realise it or not we are all deeply entrenched in beliefs around success that are keeping us trapped and holding us back from living the lives we really want to be living. And in today's episode you'll start to unpack your own beliefs around success, to see which ones might have been holding you back and how to choose new measures of success that will actually help you to thrive.So, hit play and let's dive in!Questions to explore:When you were growing up how did you view success? What were you raised to believe success looked like? What did a successful person look like to you?  What did they have? What had they achieved?  Where did these images of success come from?How do you think that impacted on you growing up? What did it make you think you should be, that you should have, that you should do in life?  Did it have an impact on the choices you made?  Is it still having an impact on you today? Do you compare yourself to those measures of success? And in particular, have you ever found yourself falling short and feeling bad because you haven't achieved that kind of success?  If you were given permission to create a whole new set of rules for what success looks like in our society, what would those measures of success be?  This year, for me, success looks like………………………… (fill in the blank) Have a go and let me know how you get on!And then I'll see you back here next week for the next episode in the series with Tamu Thomas, author of Women Who Work Too Much.See you then!X SelinaP.S.

Her work is particularly resonant in addressing the unique challenges faced by women of the global majority under what she describes as, "the trinity of oppression” - patriarchy, white supremacy and capitalism.In Tamu's words, "We don't need more self improvement, we need systemic change”.

In her groundbreaking new book, Women Who Work Too Much: Breaking Free from Toxic Productivity, Tamu Thomas challenges the societal norms that glorify relentless productivity and burnout. She delves deep into the emotional and psychological factors that keep women trapped in a never-ending cycle of productivity, offering practical strategies for liberation. Readers can take Tamu's healing hand as she guides them on a soulful exploration of self-care, connection, and social justice, acknowledging the unique challenges faced by women of colour within the toxic productivity culture.  The book encourages readers to set healthy boundaries, cultivate self-trust, and nourish their nervous systems as essential tools for reclaiming their lives and experiencing the joy they deserve. Having trained in somatic coaching and Polyvagal informed practice, Tamu's unique approach is the key to finally getting off the ‘dread-mill'. Women Who Work Too Much challenges the status quo, redefining success on one's own terms, and finding genuine fulfilment. The journey toward liberation requires an unwavering commitment to dismantling oppressive systems while embracing self-compassion, fostering deep connections, and cultivating a kinder relationship with the planet. As Tamu says, "It all starts with you, my friend. Let's dive in.

Today I'm taking a look back at the journey from the start of my business to where I am today. I'm currently revamping my own messaging and funnels, which has turned out to be a great chance to reflect on all of the experiences, inspirations, and even pitfalls that that are at the heart of my offers.   Listen in to hear about how and why I started my business, the circumstances that led me to the self-trust I needed to jump in with both feet, and how you can do the same no matter where you're at.   If you caught the shoutout at the beginning of the episode, the undeniably brilliant Tamu Thomas just released her first book ‘Women Who Work Too Much'. Check it out here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Women-Who-Work-Too-Much/dp/1837820740   And if you're interested in the upcoming round of Plenty, be sure to get on the waitlist: https://www.raydodd.co.uk/plenty     QUOTES “I realised how much easier it was for me to make money when I decided to trust myself. When I decided to do things in ways that felt good to me,  that is when it worked.   “I don't care what people think of me being visible. I need to feed my family.  That was a far more pressing concern than: what does so and so think of me being visible? Am I annoying these people?”   “I don't want you to have to hit a rock bottom experience in order to be able to act on your zones of genius or your deep desires. That was my story, but it doesn't need to be your story”

Tamu Thomas is a transformational coach whose debut book Women Who Work Too Much helps over-achieving, over-functioning women set boundaries, find joy and flourish.

Who recognises the badge of honour of being “busy” SO BUSY! If you do, you're going to love this episode that I recorded with Tamu Thomas. We talk everything around the subject of women who work too much. Tamu and I come at things from quite a different perspective on the surface of things, but when you lift the hood, we have so many shared perspectives and values around how to help you empower yourself to create more of the life that you want, the work that you want, how to ask for more of what it is that you desire. We talk about pleasure. We talk about the nervous system, we talk about safety. We talk about love. We go into all of the ins and outs, and I know that you are going to love this episode. So without any further ado, here is the episode. While you are here do NOT forget you can order my book, Infinite Receiving right here.Quotes"I felt like I was always scraping the energetic barrel.""Our nervous system shapes our beliefs. Our beliefs shapes how we take up space and what we want in the world.""When you are cultivating a nervous system of love and you're creating loving environments and loving experiences, that's a huge sign of safety for your nervous system.""I want women not to give themselves a hard time, because they're trying to do it all so they can slow down and understand if I'm going to be creating these wonderful things, this is the support I need to have in place."Highlights 04:34 And I remember looking at my daughter and thinking, I'm always working too much wink, and I feel like I'm constantly scraping the bottom of the barrel of my energy to be able to show up for you as a parent, there was not a lot of joy in my life.17:32 All of us human beings are cyclical in our nature. And people who menstruate are especially cyclical in our nature. So what we can do in our ovulatory phase and what we can do in our luteal phase aren't the same.27:42 So my daily habits, I find that really hard. But I allow others the supreme pleasure of giving to me, of supporting me. And I don't make myself wrong for that. I don't call myself high maintenance. I need what I need. I want what I want. And I build mechanisms within my life, within my work, to ensure that I can have those things, because they make me a better person.Find Tamu Online Find Tamu on Instagram Find Tamu on Facebook Ways to work with me: Order The Infinite Receiving Book here and get 30 days of The Gateway for FREE.

I'm so excited to welcome the brilliant Tamu Thomas back to the podcast today! Tamu is an emotional well-being coach trained in somatic coaching, as well as a writer, workshop facilitator, podcaster and Non-Linear Movement practitioner, whose work helps women build an intimate, healthy relationship with themselves so they can make powerful choices about how they live, love and work. On top of that, Tamu and I are each other's money hype people on the day-to-day, which is one of the reasons we wanted to bring you some of our most frequent WhatsApp chat topics around how to support your clients and yourself, ethical sales, and becoming unashamed about making big money.   Tune in for insights on The many factors that can affect the dynamics of group programs and communities The impossibility of creating a fully “safe space”, and alternatives that serve your clients even better. How to move past the conditioning that convinces us that it's ethical to charge less and step into your power.   You can find out more about Tamu at https://www.livethreesixty.com/ https://www.instagram.com/livethreesixty/     The doors to my mastermind Real You Real Money are now open! Follow this link for more info: https://www.raydodd.co.uk/real-you-real-money     References in the episode include quotes from Carl Rogers, Prentis Hemphill and Toni Morrison.   QUOTES “It's impossible to create a safe space completely. I think it is much more honest, realistic, and we can create much more mature agreements and boundaries if we talk about brave spaces. I hold a space where people can be brave.”   “Boundaries mean that I can have empathy for you and still be in my power, still be in my majesty. When I'm submerged by the weight of the world, I can't be powerful.”   “Your capacity is not the same as your capability. I'm constantly stretching myself to my capability and not honouring my capacity.”   “There is a very fine line between what people perceive to be ethical and what people perceive to be people pleasing. People are doing these things so that people say you are a good person.”   “Making big money means that it's better for all of us. We can make more empowered choices and because of the relationship we have with money, this is just how it is. Many of us feel way more empowered when we're making more money because we have more access to things. Because we are living a better quality of life.”  

In this episode Cath and Tamu Thomas talk about growing ourselves up in our adult friendships and what this can look like. Together they reflect on how people pleasing can play out at work, how it keeps us playing small, prevents us from owning our power and how we (unconsciously) re-create our family dynamics at work. Only when we become aware of what we are doing can change become possible.If you're enjoying this podcast.

Well-being coach Tamu Thomas talks with Steph about toxic productivity and our inability to stop, the enormous energy we put in to keeping going to make us feel safe (including some classic Tamu quotes through the lyrics of Chumbawamba and Bananarama). Tamu recommends a 17 second practice to help slow your body and mind and ‘take in the good'. They also discuss every day joy, abandoning ourselves to care for others, the mental load and how to better communicate with a partner when you're feeling overwhelmed and resentful.

If you're finding it hard to sign up clients or sell products, it's time to stop selling. Instead, take some time away from it all.  Even just a day. Go and be free and creative and inspired. Then return, feeling refreshed, and focus on growing your community. Because when you create a big group of people who feel warm towards you and/or your brand, they will be waiting to hear what it is you've got to sell. In this episode, Annie talks through all of this and shares ideas for community-building - with examples of how it's worked for her, and others.

Vickie Remoe in conversation with Somatic and Wellness expert Tamu Thomas. They discuss wellness, somatic coaching, and entrepreneurship. According to the African Development Bank, 22% of the confident economically active population are in business or their entrepreneurs, African women are twice as likely to start a business than anywhere else in the world. While entrepreneurship has its rewards starting and operating a business is a grueling undertaking, even for those who have startup capital and family support, building a business comes with great sacrifice that can take physical and mental tolls. This is a means of survival and this mode of operating continues to drive the way we run our businesses, even when we achieve success, we treat business like a do or die. With so much at stake for African entrepreneurs, especially during the kind of crisis the pandemic has brought on, how can we find a healthy balance between growing sustainable businesses and personal wellbeing?

Trigger warning: We discuss trauma, mental health issues & race in this episode.   I have been wanting to speak to Tamu on this podcast for a hot minute and this week it happened! Tamu's work is informed by her background of sixteen years in social work, somatic coach training, her love of behavioural neuroscience and polyvagal theory, positive psychology, spirituality and joy. Tamu combines these modalities to create a multifaceted body of work that helps her clients begin to tend to their needs, feel safe in their bodies, befriend themselves and begin to enjoy who they are.  Key Points from the interview: How trauma can be alchemised into fertilizer that supports your growth. How many are only getting "bar snacks" of growth rather than the "full nutrition-rich version"! How "Super Positive" messages are not always what they seem and how to discern. The Truth of Trust, and how to access it.

Today I’m talking to the fabulous Tamu Thomas from Live Three Sixty. Tamu is a somatic coach, writer, speaker and podcaster who is passionate about helping ambitious freelance and entrepreneurial women learn how to tend to their needs, befriend themselves and develop an identity beyond what they do.In this nourishing episode we cover lots of great topics including working with the whole body, toxic productivity and how it’s impacting our nervous systems as well as befriending our feelings. Listening to Tamu will change how you feel about life.Fave quotes:When we focus on the brain organ only we end up using the body like it’s a taxi for the brain and subduing our emotions, subduing our felt sense because we’re taught to believe that they are an inconvenience and they are an ‘inconvenience’ if your focus is on productivity.

Welcome to the final Soul Surgery Podcast episode of 2020! This year has been unlike anything we've ever seen before, and I hope this podcast has provided you some refuge from the storm and a little soul nurturing. I knew that I wanted this episode to go DEEP, and that I needed a guest who could uncover the valuable lessons we can take forward from the events of the past year. It is so important that we not only acknowledge the many obstacles we have all faced, but also take time to celebrate our wins and the moments of joy and connection. This is an opportunity for us to appreciate what we can learn from our biggest challenges, and how these shifts can contribute to our evolution. I couldn't think of a better person to share this with than the incredible Tamu Thomas. Tamu is a somatic coach and entrepreneur as well as being a soulful, powerful, honest, heartfelt and truly authentic black woman. It's so important for us all to take the time to process and make sense of this crazy year and closeout 2020 with wholeness and completion. The intention being that we can move into the new year with an open heart and a feeling of peace and safety. In order to do this we must FEEL it all. What we resist persists and what we don't feel fully can become stuck in our hearts, bodies and souls. An integral part of ceremony is facing and honouring what has been so that we can then release what we have been holding on to that no longer serves us. Learning how to ground ourselves, soften and bring awareness into our bodies is key for healing. When we are living from a place of survival we limit our opportunities for allowing this healing. We need to create space, stillness and drop much more deeply into our bodies. Tamu and I share our own challenges from this year and how we have grown through them. If you can allow yourself to sit with your experiences and feel all of your emotions, even the darkest most painful ones, you create the possibility to alchemize those experiences. Your hard times really can become an opportunity for enormous growth. Highlights As painful and challenging as this year has been, the invitation to grow, heal, expand and release what no longer serves us has never been greater. How to close out this year from a place of wholeness and enter 2021 with a fresh perspective, clear intentions and an open heart. How to create the life we want by dismantling the systems that made us sick in the first place. To come home to ourselves, we must drop deeper into our bodies and actively choose to not give in to our conditioning. Why sitting with your own humanness can be your greatest teacher and the richest nourishment for your maturation and healing. The importance of allowing yourself to have “messy moments” so that you can feel your emotions and heal them at the tap root. Please take the time to ask yourself some of the questions we discussed in this episode about what you can take away from this year. How have you moved through the challenges that 2020 has brought into your life to grow and further your maturation? I want to know! I would be so grateful if you could leave a review on iTunes and we can share this message of healing and wholeness with as many people as possible.

When you’re so busy being strong and achieving, the richness of life that comes from the ordinary moments can slip by unnoticed. For Tamu Thomas, that busyness turned into increasing anxiety and panic attacks, leading her to realise she was living her life “upside down”, always putting herself last. Having come from 15 years in social work, she was knowledgeable enough to know things had to change – but how she went about it was not as you might expect. Tamu is now a trauma-informed somatic and holistic life coach, specialising in supporting women approaching their 40s and beyond to transition into their midlife feeling safe, calm and peaceful. In this episode of the podcast, Tamu shares deeply about the lessons she’s learned, from experiences as a child, through to her adult career and transition to her business, Three Sixty. We talk about: * the shift she felt when she took time to slow down and focus on her everyday joys * why we’re so used to feeling fear and how to welcome in more joy * why Tamu chose to educate herself and listen to her body, instead of the prescribed talking therapy approach * how her experience of grief helped her expand her capacity for joy, and why tending to and befriending your feelings is so important For more details, episodes and shownotes: www.thedaisypatch.co.uk/episode70.

In this episode, Annie interviews Tamu Thomas, founder of Live Three Sixty wellness brand and JOY expert, on wellbeing in the workplace. They discuss taking time for yourself while running a business - even if you only have a few minutes a day to spare - listening to your body, and respecting your essential needs. Also: working at 80% rather than 100% to avoid burnout, scheduling a staged return to work after time out - and how Beyonce, basically, has all the answers. Tamu supports women approaching their 40s via her award-winning podcast Three Sixty Conversations, and she runs an excellent membership group.

Seeking out joy at times of adversity is VITAL for our mental health and building resilience. In this episode we go all the way there and back.

In my work with clients who are nearing their forties, or 40+ there’s often an additional hurdle that comes up, it’s that feeling of ‘I should have everything figured out by now, so why am I building a new business / pivoting my business’? Tamu combines her social work experience with her life coach training to help women boost their wellbeing at 40+. So, who better to talk to me about this topic!

in today's episode we are chatting to Tamu Thomas, a holistic life coach and former social worker. She specialises in supporting women in the transitional period of their late thirties and forties. Allowing them to flourish through a period that is often met with resistance.    In this episode Tamu shares her journey from working as a social worker for 15 years and moving to create her own wellness business using her skills to help people learn to thrive rather than just survive.   Tamu teaches us what the difference is between surviving and thriving, and how to spot that in our own lives.    She shares how our modern society is set up to keep us in a scarcity mindset that stops us from being who we truly are.   We chat about how we teach boundaries to ourselves and our children.   We discuss how to figure out our true selves, and find where joy really sits for us. We touch on how we've learned that joy and happiness and wonder are seen as vulnerable and often deny it to ourselves.   We talk about the body-mind connection and Tamu shares examples of how our mind and lives are manifesting in our body. We discuss body wisdom and how to listen to it.   Tamu shares a bit about what shadow work is and how that can be a source of finding your true joy and sense of self.    Plus, we chat a bit about flow state and it's importance to our self-care routines.    Show notes: https://elizabethdhokia.com/tamuthomas   #GoodLifeUnravelled

Hi lovely, It’s Selina here

On the fifth episode of the Period Story podcast, I had a wonderful conversation with Tamu Thomas, the founder of Three Sixty. We talked about Tamu's first period and how this rite of passage was celebrated by her family and how she tracks her energy levels along with her menstrual cycle and uses this to plan how much work she'll take on. Tamu and I also talked about how she's talking to her daughter about periods and menstrual health and how she's moved past the secrecy around menstruation she grew up with to now having a very open and free attitude. E-mail periodstorypod@gmail.comTweet @periodstorypodTamu Thomas is founder of Three Sixty; a brand she created for women in their late 30s and 40s that want to simplify life and create space for everyday joy. Tamu created the brand as a response to her own emotional and physical situation. At the age of 40, and after years of compromising her health, joy and pleasure to meet the demands of her career as a social worker and her role as a mother, she realised that feeling emotionally and physically depleted was not a necessity, or a given.Find Tamu Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/livethreesixtyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/LIVE-THREE-SIXTY-1839145456379400/Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/livethreesixty_ Live Three Sixty Website: https://www.livethreesixty.com

Today we have the very first conversation on Seedling! My aim with these conversations is to shed light on subjects that as a society we *need* to talk about in order to grow. My first conversation is with the lovely Tamu Thomas who is a life coach, podcaster, speaker and writer. We talk about all things wellness, including the problems within the wellness industry, we talk about what self-care means to us, society’s obsession with youth and the importance of everyday joy.

Today I am speaking with Tamu Thomas, the founder and coach behind Live Three Sixty. Having worked as a social worker for fifteen years, Tamu felt stuck and trapped in her life and dove into a period of research into self-development and neuroscience in order to better make sense of herself. Finding the wellness world overwhelmingly millennial and Western orientated, Live Three Sixty was born as conduit to help women in their late 30s and 40s escape the cult of busyness and cultivate their joy. This episode was a pretty mind-blowing one for me to record, as we talk about Tamu’s research, the concept of everyday joy and how to find and seize it, feeling stuck, self-celebration and making life feel like a verb.

Tamu Thomas founder of Live Three Sixty joins me today to talk about - How to get past societal frameworks - Body positivity - Goals gone wrong! - Self Love and a whole host of topics! Tamu is the founder of Live Three Sixty which seeks to help generation X women live a life of love.

In this week's episode I'm talking with Tamu Thomas, founder of Three Sixty, a wellness brand aimed at women in their late thirties and forties. Tamu delivers her work through holistic life coaching, group work, public speaking, podcasting and writing. Her passion is helping women find their joy.  What does joy mean to you? In her late 30s, Tamu's life was turned upside down by an existential crisis. After years of confusing achievement with fulfilment, she began to think about life differently and journeyed back towards joy. Today, Tamu describes joy as a calm, peaceful, contented space where we notice small beautiful things that are so often hidden in plain sight when we're too busy running around. We discuss: -       What joy is to her -       Her experience of anxiety and depression  -       Productivity addiction -       Self-kindness and compassion  -       What she's teaching her daughter  -       The one gift she'd give all mums

Tamu Thomas is founder of the lifestyle brand ‘Three Sixty’, aimed at busy women in their late 30s and 40s that want to simplify life and create space for everyday joy. She guides women to amplify their inner voice in order to work with themselves rather than against.   In this episode: How low mood and other symptoms turned ‘everyday joy’ into a survival strategy Intuiting that she didn’t need a more medical approach, but that her soul was feeling empty Joy from the things that were already in plain sight Everyday joy as a north star or compass Feeling more grounded and whole from tapping into ‘everyday joy’, each day Achievement and productivity isn’t fulfillment Scanning the world for everyday joy until it became automatic  Joy as a foundation, rather than fleeting moments “Happiness happens, joy just is”  Discerning a joyful quest, versus coming from a place of lack Searching for everyday joy enables you to slow down as you need to slow down to be able to notice You’re not doing less by slowing down The experience of women in their late 30s and early 40s, who’ve had their childhoods in an analogue age and their adulthood in a digital age How ‘feeling feelings’ instead of bottling things up, and seeking support is encouraged for younger people Transitioning into the next season of life How 40 years old today looks nothing like 40 in our mothers’ era Giving ourselves permission to live our life Saying ‘no’  The power of not having to be the superhero and save people Inward facing time to recharge Even lions/ lionesses aren’t ‘on’ all the time. The need for rest, and even scheduling naps! Social anxiety with networking Productivity as a measure of worth Comparison, especially as part of the immigrant experience The media narrative that thriving is for an elite few, and the rest are just surviving “Thriving is all of our birthright” The importance of black and brown people, people from lower socio-economic backgrounds and marginalised people taking up space, especially in the wellness arena Shifting the concept of what it means to be well Standing up and taking up space and being the truest expression of herself as a black woman Allowing ourselves to make mistakes Soul care and body care are intertwined  “Live is a verb” Dropping down into connection with the earth’s core in order to connect with the ancestors If you’d like to connect with Tamu, on social media, you can find her here: https://www.facebook.com/LIVE-THREE-SIXTY-1839145456379400/ https://www.instagram.com/livethreesixty/ https://twitter.com/livethreesixty_ https://www.livethreesixty.com Tamu’s podcast ‘Three Sixty Conversations’ https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/three-sixty-conversations/id1355489288

Welcome to the audio version of Everyday Joy Newsletter!  In this letter I'm sharing some (a lot of) thoughts on growth.   "Due to the belief that growth is only valid if it is ascending, we tend to prevent ourselves from connecting with the downward motion.  We try desperately to stop ourselves from what feels like plummeting not realising that in suppressing the downward motion we are restricting ourselves, stunting our growth" - Tamu Thomas.   If you would like the full newsletter delivered straight to your inbox you can sign up here.  I share valuable content in a manner that honours your time and energy so no need to worry about spam!

Tamu Thomas (@livethreesixty) and I are back with our Wellness is Wellth collaboration!  This time its a supper club! The response to the inaugural Wellness is Wellth event at Thomson Reuters in January this year was so powerful we have not been able to stop thinking about it. Each week since 18th January 2019 we have discussed or mentioned Wellness is Wellth.  Each conversation or mention made us feel alive and safe to delve deeper into our money stories cultivating a friendly relationship that is steadily becoming closer and healthier. We have agreed that we can no longer ignore the nudges encouraging us to make Wellness is Wellth a living breathing entity, so here we are! We started in the heart of the UK's financial district and have decided take Wellness is Wellth home bringing abundance to your door with a supperclub in the beautiful homely setting of  Kindred Members club in Hammersmith, London.

Tamu Thomas is one of those people who feels like the warmest hug just by listening to her speak. But more than that, she's a wise woman who shows up to help celebrate other women for all that they are. Join us in conversation on the Practical Magic Podcast today, as Tamu shares her story, and her work in helping Gen X'ers, -- women in their 30s and 40s -- to celebrate the wholeness of life.   On the show we chat: Why we've come to measure our value by our output, and why it's leaving us energetically bankrupt Exploring the shadow, and why it's so damn important! Living a thriving life, not just an OK life Why all of us need to have more open conversations around different stages, and changing chapters in our lives, in order to understand, rather than suppress the fullness of life How important it is for us to slow down and simplify life How to bring everyday joy into each day for real living, not just existing Tamu's 3 brilliant self care tips Where to find out more about Tamu: Tamu's website Tamu's podcast Instagram @livethreesixty  Twitter @livethreesixty_    Tamu's Live 360 tracks: LL Cool J: Mama Said Knock You Out Luciano Pavarotti: "Nessun dorma!"

Today’s guest is with Tamu Thomas, who runs Three Sixty, a lifestyle brand focusing on wellness and a philosophy of what she calls “everyday joy”. Tamu has her own podcast, she runs retreats, and at the time of recording she was also selling her own clothing, though she has just announced she will be stepping away from that side of the business. We get into a lot of mindset stuff in this interview, specifically the courage it takes to start something new, and what it means to take care of yourself and give yourself the gift of time. I also loved hearing Tamu speak so passionately about why we need to hear more from women in their 40s and beyond. I know you’re going to love this conversation! The mindset work has literally been the catalyst for everything - Tamu Thomas Some of the things we talked about: What Tamu means by everyday joy & wellness Burnout and mental health issues leading to a new business The difficulty of putting yourself first & giving yourself the gift of time Why we need to hear more from women in their 40s and beyond Tamu’s thoughts on fast fashion and producing clothing ethically Self-care as part of everyday life (and examples of Tamu’s practices) The mindset work it takes to start something new and put it out into the world Embracing personal development and coaching (after being sceptical)   For episode show notes & links, head to https://ruthpoundwhite.com/podcast/
