S3 Ep167: Midlife & Unhappy
In this episode we’re discussing unhappiness at midlife. It seems, to varying degrees, we’re all experiencing the 'midlife malaise', and yet we’re also ashamed of feeling this way. We can feel very alone, even if we’re surrounded by people day in day out. This leads to isolation and feeling like there’s no point to it all…So we’re on a mission to destigmatise being unhappy at midlife, because not only is it normal, but incredibly common. We need to bring compassion and understanding as to why this is happening, with tools to navigate us through the challenging times. We hope this podcast serves as a reminder to us all that we’re not alone…and fills your heart with some hope that things can and will shift for you.Please remember, if you find the show helpful or it makes you laugh, motivates and inspires you - please do like, share and rate us.

S3 Ep163: Don't Ignore Red Flags
In this episode we discuss why it’s important not to ignore red flags - your gut instinct - that says something, someone or a situation isn’t quite right. We’ve all had this experience where we’ve ignored our instinct only to kick ourselves later down the line. Or we’ve made a decision quickly, not knowing why and it’s potentially changed the direction of our life. We share our own experiences of this and hope you enjoy it!Sign up to our free masterclass here:themidlifementors.com/masterclassdecemberThe Midlife Male Handbook available now:AmazonWaterstonesWH Smith Please remember, if you find the show helpful or it makes you laugh, motivates and inspires you - please do like, share and rate us.

S3 Ep162: Changing Our Behaviour: An Interview with Dr Nicola Eccles
Do you often wonder why you find it so hard to change? Regardless of how much you try, you keep ending up doing the exact same things over and over? That’s because behaviour change is complex. And we want to be totally transparent - it’s not easy.But the most important thing to remember is that behaviour change IS possible, because not only have we changed our own unhealthy behaviours over the years, but we’ve also seen countless clients do the same on our eight week programme.So that’s why we wanted to share our latest podcast episode with you, where we interview Dr Nicola Eccles, from On Wellbeing. We dive into the steps to changing behaviour for the long term, until it becomes a habit and discuss why compassion is so key to transformation.You can reach Nicola at: https://www.onwellbeing.comIf you find the show helpful or it makes you laugh, motivates and inspires you - please do like, share and rate us.

S3 Ep161: Reframing Failure
In this episode we’re discussing failure, because there’s such pressure in today’s society to be a success, that we often find the fear of failure debilitating.The reality is, we all fail. We fail at relationships, we fail at business, we fail at personal goals, we fail at being true to our ourselves.But failure isn't the end unless we let it be. It's an integral part of trying. If we never fail, we're not taking risks or pushing boundaries. We're playing it safe. And safe might feel comfortable, but it doesn't foster growth or a life well lived.So, in this episode we unpack all of this so that you don’t feel so alone. This is about celebrating failure as the positive signpost to growth it really is.To find out about The Midlife Method, click HEREWant to speak to us about options?
