My guest on this week’s episode is my fabulous friend, the gorgeous Polly Warren.
Polly is a breathwork facilitator, health & wellness coach, and hypnotherapist who is passionate about helping midlife women come back to themselves and live their very best lives.
She is also a podcaster with her fabulous podcast, Menomorphosis.
Topics that we cover are:
- how married life with kids can be challenging, and is not always a bed of roses;
- the energy and headspace that having three children requires;
- Polly’s experience of perimenopause that motivated the first incarnation of her podcast, Menomorphosis;
- how she helps midlife women ‘come back to themselves’;
- her passion for breathwork and why how we breathe is at the core of our wellness;
- why we should all be breathing through our noses, most of the time;
- the benefits of breathing more efficiently, including better sleep and more energy;
- how to practice breathing efficiently;
- nervous system regulation and why it’s important to recognise when we’re spending too much time in our sympathetic state;
- why and how breathwork is a bridge between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems;
- how exhaling triggers the parasympathetic side of our nervous system;
- our ‘window of tolerance’, what it is and how we can use it;
- how breathwork allows us to take a moment between a trigger and our response;
- midlife, and why the way we think about it is so important;
- nutrition in midlife, and some of the foods we should aim to include in our diets;
- the huge importance of getting enough protein;
- why flaxseed is amazing for midlife women;
- the 80/20 rule when it comes to nutrition;
- movement in midlife, and why we should all be strength training.
