Take A Breath
A podcast for creating practical calm in the messy middle of midlife.
This is your space to pause.
Because life in midlife is full-on. Between work, family, menopause, and the mental load, your nervous system can easily end up in constant overdrive — leaving you feeling exhausted, reactive, and overwhelmed by even the smallest things.
Each week, I’ll share my own tools, alongside honest conversations and practical nervous system support — to help you create more calm, peace, joy, and inner steadiness. Not by escaping your life, because that’s totally unrealistic, but by meeting it differently.
So when you're ready, let’s take a breath together…

Thursday Thoughts - Active Listening
This week, Lucy & I are talking about active listening.đź‘‚
Do you really listen when you’re having a conversation, or are you actually thinking about what your response is going to be? We’re all guilty of it…and we could all improve our active listening skills.
Lucy & I discuss various aspects of listening, including how annoying it is when people interrupt (and how we both have a tendency to do exactly that!), plus that awful feeling when you’re talking to someone but they’re looking over your shoulder!
Like so many things, awareness is key; so the next time you’re having a conversation with someone, ask yourself whether you’re truly listening to them, or if your mind is elsewhere.
When it comes down to it, every single one of us needs and deserves to be heard fully.
We hope you’ll find something useful in here!
Love,
Polly & Lucy x
