What happens when the life you thought you were building blows up?In this episode, I'm joined by coach, author, entrepreneur and mum of four, Claire Adamou, for a powerful conversation about divorce, reinvention, and finding your way back to yourself after life's biggest challenges.Claire shares her deeply personal journey through divorce and the difficult years that followed - from feeling completely broken and overwhelmed, to rebuilding her confidence, reclaiming her identity, and creating a life that feels more aligned and joyful than ever before.But this conversation isn't only about divorce.It's about what happens when we outgrow a version of ourselves.It's about learning to trust ourselves again.And it's about finding the courage to build a new chapter, even when we can't yet see exactly what it will look like.During this lively and deeply honest conversation we explore...How easy it is to lose yourself beneath the roles we play as womenWhat it takes to rebuild self-trust after a major life transitionThe possibility, growth and freedom that can exist on the other side of a hard chapterThroughout the conversation, Claire offers an honest reminder that reinvention rarely happens in one brave leap.More often, it happens through a series of small decisions to keep moving forward, even when the path ahead isn't clear.If you've ever found yourself questioning who you are, wondering what's next, or navigating a chapter that feels far from the life you imagined, this episode is a hopeful reminder that endings can also be beginnings.And sometimes the chapters that break us open are the very ones that bring us back to life.MORE ABOUT CLAIRE:Visit Claire's website HEREFollow Claire on Instagram, Tiktok and FacebookBuy Claire's book, 'Life After Divorce: From Surviving to Thriving' HEREABOUT YOUR HOST - Tamsin Williamson•Find out about my signature coaching and mentorship programme, The Gateway >> HERE•Find out about my 90-minute Springboard Session Experience >> HERE•Book a FREE 30-min discovery call with me to explore working together >> HERE•Download my FREE GUIDE - '20 Ways To Claim Your Comeback' >> HEREWelcome to Do Your Thing - a bold, beautiful celebration of modern Motherhood, on YOUR terms.Hosted by Tamsin Williamson, The Identity & Self-Leadership Coach for Ambitious Women Ready To Redefine Life Beyond Motherhood.Every week, join me for open and unfiltered conversations with awe-inspiring women (who also happen to be mothers) about how they do their thing - in life, work and everything in between.Together, let's throw out the rule book, shed expectations and shine a light on just how varied and vibrant modern motherhood can be.

Are you a woman going through a divorce who can't afford a lawyer? Did you know you can use AI to help defend yourself?Listen in as our host, Diane Rolston, sits down with Anna Lissansky, founder of Alice in Legal Wonderland, a platform specifically built for the people the legal system has completely forgotten about.Diane met Anna at Web Summit when she boldly ran up and pitched herself, and the conversation that followed is one you need to hear.Listen to learn these key takeaways:The staggering reality of what a contested divorce actually costs and why most women in the disadvantaged position just give up and walk away from what they're entitled toWhy Anna represented herself through a three-year process, including an 11-day trial and what gave her the confidence to do itThe hallucination problem: why you can't just use ChatGPT for legal matters and what Anna built to solve itThe legal strategy Anna used that most lawyers deliberately avoid and how it dramatically changed the shape of her trialThe moment she corrected the judge three times in court and why having the right tools made that possibleWhy there are over 700 AI tools built for lawyers but barely a dozen for the people who actually need help mostThe "forgotten middle": who falls through the cracks of the legal system and why legal aid isn't the answer for most womenWhat to say from day one of your case if you're using AI and how transparency actually protects youThe simulation feature coming to Alice: how it will help you make informed decisions before spending years and thousands of dollars finding out the hard wayAnna's final message about lawyers, judges, and the accountability gap nobody talks aboutAnna's Bio:Ana Lissansky has always been an early adopter of technology. Recently, as a single mother navigating a contested divorce, she began using AI tools to support her case because she could not afford a lawyer while facing her ex's legal team. She self-represented during an 11-day trial and learned firsthand that AI can sometimes generate inaccurate information. That experience inspired her to launch Alice in Legal Wonderland, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping self-represented litigants use AI more effectively and responsibly. She is currently building partnerships with verifiable AI companies that prioritize accuracy and transparency by admitting when they “don't know” instead of generating false information.Anna's Social Media links:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lissanskyWebsite: https://www.aliceinlegalwonderland.comSign up to Alice in Legal Wonderland's waitlist and receive 2 months free access: https://www.aliceinlegalwonderland.comThis show's host, Diane Rolston, is called THE Expert on Being Dynamic and living a Dynamic Life.

Episode 16: Women: What it Means to Carry Shame around Money In this episode of Paperclips & Periods, Dr. Emily K. Cabrera, EdD, MSN, CAGS, PMHNP-BC and Katie Krych, MSN, RN, PMHNP(c) explore what it means to carry shame around money and why that silence can quietly shape so much of a woman's life, her choices, her relationships, and her sense of self. Money is one of the last things women feel permission to talk about honestly. Not because the feelings are not there, but because shame has a way of making people go quiet. This episode names that silence directly and asks what it would look like to start telling the truth about money, not to fix everything at once, but to stop carrying it alone. The conversation opens with where money shame comes from in the first place. Long before we were adults making financial decisions, we were children absorbing money scripts, the unspoken rules and beliefs passed down through family, culture, and circumstance. Messages like "we don't talk about money," "there's never enough," or "wanting more is selfish" do not disappear when we grow up. They run quietly in the background and shape behavior in ways that can be hard to trace. From there, they move into the real cost of that shame. Financial stress is not separate from mental health. It activates the same stress response in the body as any other ongoing threat, and when shame is layered on top of it, it becomes even harder to look at clearly or ask for help. They also discuss what shame resilience actually looks like in practice, including how to do a financial audit without judgment, what values-based budgeting means when it is used as a clarity tool rather than a restriction, and why saying a financial truth out loud to one safe person can be a more meaningful starting point than any spreadsheet. The episode closes with an introduction to financial therapy as a legitimate and growing field that sits at the intersection of mental health and financial planning, along with practical guidance on how to find a financial therapist and what to expect. It ends with three reflection questions for listeners to sit with: What money story did you inherit? Where does shame show up for you? And what financial truth has been waiting for some air?

This week we almost didn't manage to record a podcast between travel, family visits, birthday celebrations, and Eric leaving at 5 a.m. to film Heather Jackson at Unbound XL, but skipping wasn't an option. So instead, we went full rapid-fire mode and packed in as many listener-submitted questions as possible. We also talked fast helmets, Escape From Alcatraz, questionable podcast comments, and the latest TTL merch drop. This week we discussed:Aero vs ventilation for Xterra helmetsBalancing triathlon obsession with actually being present in life32 inch wheelsRevisiting old races vs constantly chasing new challengesReturning to fitness after forced time completely off trainingWhich part of a full ironman scares the mostHeat training vs convenienceBest tires for Xterra North American Championships in PelhamFinishing a 70.3 swim while doggy paddlingCycling group ride warmup and when it's ok to attackHeart rate monitor locations for womenWhat to do when someone tries to talk to you mid swim setA big thank you to our podcast supporters who keep the podcast alive!

You've seen the articles. You've heard the discourse. People are pulling away from the digital sphere and opting for in-person connection instead: ditching dating apps, skipping the DMs, going analog. Google searches for "matchmaker near me" and "dating coach" are higher right now than they've been in the past ten years. But here's the part that isn't getting enough attention: how people are making this shift. And the answer is far more curated than you'd expect.In this solo episode, Danielle breaks down the rise of “connection concierges” — friendship coaches, speed friending events, and supper clubs — and what this trend reveals about what women actually need when they're trying to make friends offline. She also walks through three things to consider before you invest in a curated social experience, including how to get specific about what you're looking for so you don't leave disappointed.

What if understanding your menstrual cycle could completely change the way you prepare for pregnancy and transform how you feel in your body every single month?I sat down with Nora DeBora, functional fertility coach, holistic nutritionist, fertility awareness practitioner, and host of the Ultimate Pregnancy Prep Podcast, to talk about everything from eating for your cycle and seed cycling to gut health, hormone testing, and the fertility information most conventional providers are simply not sharing with their patients. Whether you are trying to conceive, currently pregnant, or just want to understand your hormones better, this conversation is one I know you are going to come back to again and again.I honestly took mental notes the entire time we were recording this one...and wrote some down when I got to listen again!

Lauren LeMunyan is breaking down the myths of goal setting, helping leaders embody their future selves, and building psychological safety from the inside out.This one hit different. I sat down with Lauren LeMunyan — certified master coach, CEO of Spitfire Coach, and creator of Future Self Design — and walked away with a completely new way of thinking about transformation. We talked about burnout, the fear of success, why SMART goals keep us stuck, and what it actually means to become the person you're designing yourself to be. It's a conversation about courage, self-awareness, and the kind of inner work that creates real, lasting change.Lauren's path to coaching began in a meditation during her first coach training weekend — going through a divorce at 31, she heard a voice say 'you are the Spitfire Coach.' What followed was a decade of building a practice that now serves individuals and corporate teams alike. Future Self Design flips the script on traditional goal setting: instead of focusing on what's not working, it asks who you become on the other side — and challenges you to start embodying that person today.The conversation also gets into psychological safety as a spectrum, the ladder of inference, why burnout is really about unmet expectations, and how community is the antidote to the isolation epidemic. Lauren is funny, direct, and deeply real — and this episode is packed with tools you can use immediately.What We CoverHow Lauren went from a messy divorce to building a 10-year coaching practiceWhy SMART goals recreate the same patterns — and what Future Self Design does differentlyThe fear of success: why it's more common than fear of failure, especially for womenWhat psychological safety actually looks like as a spectrum, not a binaryThe ladder of inference and how we make up stories that aren't trueWhy burnout is about unmet expectations — and how to address it at the rootThe micro decisions that stack into sustainable transformationPull Quotes"Designing your future self isn't about getting it right. It's about being curious."— Lauren LeMunyan"Your feelings are valid — but they might be lying to you."— Lauren LeMunyan"Where your focus goes is where your energy grows. Stop circling the problem and start building toward what you want."— Lauren LeMunyanAbout Lauren LeMunyanLauren LeMunyan is a certified master coach, speaker, and CEO of Spitfire Coach. She is the creator of Future Self Design — an ICF-approved framework and live intensive that helps leaders move beyond goal setting and into embodying the person they are becoming.

There's nothing more frustrating than knowing something isn't right in your body… and being told everything looks “fine.”Today, I'm joined by Andrea Balzer, founder of Counterculture Health and Wellness and a Doctor of Nursing Practice turned functional health practitioner with over 25 years of experience inside the conventional medical system.In this conversation, we unpack why so many women feel dismissed in traditional healthcare—especially in midlife—and what's actually missing when it comes to understanding your body, your symptoms, and your health as a whole.Andrea shares her personal turning point that led her to question the status quo, how functional health differs from (and complements) conventional medicine, and what it really looks like to feel supported, heard, and empowered in your body again.We also dive into how to navigate both worlds without feeling confused or overwhelmed—so you can stop second-guessing yourself and start getting real answers.If you've been doing everything “right” but still don't feel like yourself… this episode will help you understand why—and what to do next.In this episode, we cover:Why women are often told their symptoms are “normal”The biggest gaps in conventional healthcare for midlife womenWhat functional health actually looks like in real lifeHow to bridge conventional medicine and holistic health (without the overwhelm)What changes when you finally feel supported in your health journeyConnect with Andrea: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andrea_counterculturehealth/ Website: www.counterculturehw.comThanks for listening.

And it's definitely not a “push harder and ignore your body” one either.In this episode, I go all in on why winter itself doesn't actually derail you….

Starting a small business later in life comes with a different set of priorities — and most online business advice completely ignores that reality. In this first episode of Run Your Damn Business, I'm sharing the behind-the-scenes context for this show: why I left a successful corporate career, what surprised me most about building a small business online in my 40s, and why so much of the advice that “worked before” no longer works for women in our season of life.In this episode, we talk about:Leaving a corporate career and starting a small business in your 40sWhy “start messy” advice falls apart when stability actually mattersThe disconnect between online marketing strategies and real small businessesHow content-heavy models quietly burn out experienced womenWhat actually changed in the online business world (and why it's not your fault)Why this podcast is intentionally short, practical, and unfilteredIf you're a woman 40+ running a small business and craving clarity, steadier revenue, and marketing that supports your life instead of consuming it — you're in the right place.Hit play, take what you need, and then go run your damn business.MORE FROM ME: Follow me on Instagram → @janditchfield.co RATE, REVIEW, & FOLLOW ON APPPLE PODCASTS "Jan put words to what I've been feeling about my business for years and then gave me the strategies to move it forward."

If you open your eyes and instantly feel mentally crowded, emotionally tense, or already behind, this 15-minute morning practice is going to change everything about how your day begins.In today's episode, I'm sharing the exact 15-minute sequence I use on mornings when I wake up anxious, wired, or overwhelmed — and the neuroscience behind why it works. Morning anxiety isn't a mindset issue. It's a physiological pattern driven by cortisol rhythms, overstimulation, and a nervous system that hasn't been fully off-duty in a long time.When you learn how to work with your body instead of forcing your way through your mornings, you create a completely different internal experience: calmer thoughts, steadier emotions, and a more grounded start to your day.What you'll learn in this episode:Why morning anxiety is so common among high-capacity womenWhat the cortisol awakening response is and how it affects your emotional baselineThe number-one mistake most women make in the first 60 seconds of their dayThe full 15-minute practice I use when I wake up overwhelmedThe somatic movements that instantly calm your systemHow hydration, nourishment, and gentle pacing shift your mood and energyThe final 60-second ritual that anchors clarity and presence for the rest of your dayIf you've been waking up stressed, rushed, or already overstimulated before your morning even starts, this episode will give you a simple, powerful framework to reset your system and start your day grounded.Press play and learn the morning practice your nervous system has been asking for.Related Episodes:Previous EpisodeMy 5-step Morning RoutineWhat To Do the Morning After (A Bad Night's Sleep)5 Morning Mistakes that Wreck Your Nervous System and Cause BurnoutMorning Meditation: Grounded, Grateful, and EnergizedNot a Morning Person or is it Actually AM Anxiety?

In this podcast series, we explore the process of spiritual development through the lens of the Hero's + Heroine's Journey, and why both men and women must understand both sides of the journey to fully connect with Christ and God.Most of us have only been taught one part of the story—the masculine path. But to truly walk in spiritual wholeness, we must rediscover and integrate the feminine path as well. This foundation is key to understanding the spirit of Elijah, the restoration of all things, and what it means to walk in divine union.

**Content Warning: DV, rape, SA** Tia Levings discusses her dark reality in Christian fundamentalism, with evangelical patriarchy and religious trauma.  Having appeared in the Amazon docu-series, Shiny Happy People, and written a harrowing memoir, A Well-Trained Wife she reveals how she had to save herself and her family and details the ways that extreme views can manifest in a marriage.Recruited into the fundamentalist Quiverfull movement as a young wife, Tia Levings learned that being a good Christian meant following a list of additional life principles––a series of secret, special rules to obey. Being a godly and submissive wife in Christian Patriarchy included strict discipline, isolation, and an alternative lifestyle that appeared wholesome to outsiders. Women were to be silent, “keepers of the home.” But in the patriarchy, a woman with opinions is in danger, and eventually, Tia faced an urgent and extreme choice: stay and face dire consequences, or flee with her children.Click here to watch on YouTubePre order Tia's book: A Well-Trained WifeFind Tia on social media!IG:  @tialevingswriterThe Anti-Fundamentalist**FULLY BOOKED** Our C2C vacation where we can meet you in real life and go on adventures together has sold out!

Amy Diehl and Jason Mudd discuss how bias against women persists in female-dominated workplaces.Guest:Our episode guest is Amy Diehl, Ph.D., the chief information officer at Wilson College and a workplace gender bias expert and consultant. She has a 27-year career in information technology and is a prominent gender equity researcher. Her work has been published in academic journals, book chapters, and in Fast Company, Ms. Magazine and Harvard Business Review.Five things you'll learn from this episode:Why men are in leadership roles more often than womenWhat makes an industry equitableHow to make your workplace healthy for men and womenThe phenomenon of presentismHow to eliminate bias and what can women do if they are confronted by biasQuotables“What's better is for managers, for leaders, to set goals for their employees, you know, certainly provide them with the resources to meet their goals and the support that they need, but measure the success by the goals and not just by the time spent in that chair.” - Amy Diehl“Workplaces were originally built by men and for men with men's needs in mind, but not women's. So one aspect of male privilege is something called male gatekeeping. So when the men are in charge, they get to decide who gets to enter leadership. And when they do allow women into leadership, when they're using male gatekeeping, they put boundaries around women's authority.” - Amy Diehl“The problem is the pipeline for the sake of women, it leaks. And again, it's because of the barriers that they're facing day in and day out.” - Amy Diehl“There's things you can do to make your workplace healthy, not just for women, but for men too. And so if you are the person at the top, you're a leader. There's lots of steps you can take.” - Amy Diehl“Whenever women encounter bias or are confronted by bias, the first thing is they should not take it personally.” - Amy DiehlIf you enjoyed this episode, please share it with others and leave us a review!About Amy DiehlAmy Diehl, Ph.D., is the chief information officer at Wilson College and a workplace gender bias expert and consultant.

Opener: Votes for Women What is "normal" in our hobby? For a while I've realized that what I felt most comfortable & familiar with in boardgaming is a little but stuck in the past, not coincidentally the times when I was first diving in deep with it. This is about the 10-year period from 1996-2006, give or take. The hobby today feels different. It IS different. Not better or worse (I try to convince myself), just different. But different in what ways? In this solo episode I consider this. Before I tackle the present day I think aloud about how the hobby started, how it progressed, and how it got to when I first played Settlers, Medici, or Bohnanza. I think a lot about the perspective of someone working at Origins or Gencon, perhaps at a game distributor's booth, going to those events from the 1970s to the present day. I actually think there are some that span those fifty years(!) in our hobby, if not always behind a booth then at least participating in it. From that vantage point, you'd definitely see things change over time, and I think with some hindsight you could identify some "waves" or "generations" within the hobby. Characteristics more of one time than another. Trends that come & go. Even within euro-style hobby boardgaming, I think you could subdivide my earlier era to today and note some important differences. That's what I'm thinking about, and I welcome input from listeners, too. Am I all wet here? Or am I onto something? Does it even matter in any way? I think it may matter in the sense that I'm trying to stay true to the types of boardgaming I most enjoy, while simultaneously NOT becoming a fossilized dinosaur. Can it be done? Of course. Thinking about these kinds of things is how I go about it. Closer: Mark Madness 2023 tournament! Congrats to winner Patrick Pence! -Mark
