Just As Well, The Women's Health Podcast

One message that’s come out loud and clear from the pandemic is the importance of other people for our health and happiness. And just as you nurture those ties with close friends, family members and your extended gang of pals, workplace relationships are worthy of your time and attention, too. Not only for the benefit of your social health and wellbeing at work, but also for success in your career. So says Carole Robin PhD - foremost workplace culture expert who taught the world-renowned Interpersonal Dynamics course at the Stanford Graduate Business School for 17 years and shares her insights in new book Connect: Building Exceptional Relationships with Family and Colleagues. In today’s episode she and Rebecca Seal, food journalist, cookbook writer and author of Solo: How To Work Alone Without Losing Your Mind, join Roisín to discuss practical ways to strengthen those bonds to perform better, stave off the creep of WFH loneliness and just enjoy your life - work, play, and the rest - a whole lot more. And whether you’re freelance and WFH for the foreseeable, a staffer whose organisation is planning to go back full-time once restrictions lift, or if you're set to navigate a blend between at-home and in-office working, there are many things you can take away from this one.Join Carole Robin PhD on LinkedIn Join Rebecca Seal on Twitter: @RebeccaSealJoin Roisín Dervish-O'Kane on Instagram: @roisin.dervishokaneLike what you’re hearing?

Few people embody a positive, powerful and balanced approach to living well during midlife quite like broadcaster and host of the Midpoint podcast, Gabby Logan. At 47, the mum-of-two feels as good as she did in her 30s, and is passionate about women her age - and older - truly owning their place on TV. As she’s very much doing right now, hosting the BBC’s coverage of the Six Nations. The way she sees it, she’s become more experienced, more skilled in those intervening years - and, as you’ll find out, she’s really fine-tuned the way she maintains her health and wellness too. You’ll hear about her fitness regimen, what it’s been like parenting in a pandemic and why it’s really important to her to prioritise her gut health. But what really sets this conversation apart is how open Gabby is about less well-trodden ground, including how she’s taking HRT since learning she’d entered the perimenopause and why the alcoholism that runs in her family has made her extremely mindful when it comes to drinking. Expect inspiration aplenty from this conversation - no matter what age and stage you’re at.Join Gabby on Instagram: @gabbyloganJoin Claire on Instagram: @clairesandersonJoin Women’s Health UK on Instagram: @womenshealthuk Topics- Gabby Logan on feeling empowered in midlife- How she exercises to boost her mental health- Why Gabby started taking HRT after entering the perimenopause- What it’s like raising teenage twins in lockdown- How she looks after her gut health Like what you’re hearing?
