Self Care Club

This episode is sponsored by Welbeck - providing beyond better healthcare. In honour of World Hearing Day on March 3rd, we’re talking about something most of us take completely for granted… until we can’t hear the waiter, the TV suddenly “too quiet,” and everyone starts mumbling. This week, we’re joined by leading ear surgeon Joseph Manjaly, Consultant Otologist & Auditory Implant Surgeon at OneWelbeck ENT and Clinical Lead at Royal National ENT and UCLH, who spends his days quite literally changing how people experience the world. We get into the surprising truth about hearing loss — including why it’s not just an “old person thing,” how midlife hearing loss is now the biggest modifiable risk factor for dementia, and the everyday habits that could be quietly damaging your ears. Joe explains: Why hearing loss happens (and why it’s not always about ageing) The link between hearing loss, brain health and dementia Tinnitus — what that ringing actually is, and what you can do about it The biggest myths about hearing (yes, we’re looking at you, cotton buds) The incredible technology already restoring hearing — and what’s coming next Plus, we talk about the emotional side of hearing loss; from isolation and confidence to the life-changing moment when someone hears clearly again. Because hearing isn’t just about sound it’s about connection, memory, and staying engaged with the people you love. And after this episode, you may never put a cotton bud anywhere near your ear again!

What do you do when you finally know what you want but making a change feels terrifying? In this episode, Lauren & Nicole talk about how to follow your heart without making impulsive, life-altering decisions you might regret. Because clarity sometimes means making smaller, smarter shifts. We explore: Why big life decisions don’t require dramatic action How to handle fear of change The difference between a direction and a decision How to make aligned choices without self-sabotage The “10% move” that helps you test change safely How to listen to your intuition without blowing up your life We also share practical self-care tools to regulate your nervous system when you’re feeling overwhelmed, restless, or stuck between knowing and acting. If you’re navigating career change, relationship shifts, personal growth, or simply that midlife feeling of “there must be more” this episode will help you move forward calmly and intentionally. Real change doesn’t have to be chaotic. It can be quiet. Sustainable. Thoughtful and it starts with one small move.

Clubbers, it's January, which means it's dark, cold and long! So we decided to gift you a few of our favourite episodes from the archives - to hopefully help brighten your mood and inspire you to look after yourself. Enjoy x In this episode, we’re challenging rise and grind culture and the myth of "non-stop productivity" by exploring the impact of toxic motivation on our mental health, relationships, and self-worth. We dive into the pressure to constantly hustle and level up, questioning whether the pursuit of success is really worth sacrificing our well-being. Are we truly doing better, or are we just exhausted? We’ll examine the harmful effects of the "do more, be more" narrative that’s often perpetuated on social media, in the workplace, and in our inboxes. Is the hustle helping us thrive, or just pushing us toward burnout? If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the need to always be improving, this episode is for you. We’ll discuss how to find a healthier, more sustainable approach to motivation—one that doesn’t leave us drained, disconnected, or disillusioned. Tune in for practical insights on how to set boundaries, embrace rest, and redefine success on your own terms. If this resonates with you, share it with a friend who might need to hear it too!

With over 20 million views, 1.5 million likes, and tens of thousands of comments - it had to be something we checked out. Mel Robbins says “So much time and energy is wasted on forcing other people to match our expectations. So instead of attempting to control people or circumstances, you allow things to be as they are, rather than letting this stuff control you” Tune in to see how Lauren and Nicole get on with this revolutionary practice.

Internal Gratitude Welcome to the third and final episode of our gratitude mini-series, where we turn the spotlight inward and explore a practice that feels surprisingly uncomfortable for a lot of us: internal gratitude. This is about learning to appreciate yourself - not just your life. Most of us were never taught how to do this. We’re brilliant at acknowledging everyone else, but not so good when it comes to recognising our own effort, resilience, and growth. In this episode, we talk about why internal gratitude matters - especially in midlife - when so many women are quietly holding everything together. We dig into: Effort Gratitude (not outcome gratitude): recognising where you showed up, kept going, and didn’t quit - even when no one was watching. Body Gratitude : gently acknowledging what your body has carried you through, frustrations and all. Younger Self Gratitude: thanking past versions of yourself for surviving, leaving, starting, or setting boundaries. Values Gratitude: honouring the values you live by “No One Clapped” Gratitude: naming the invisible labour you do every day that rarely gets acknowledged. This episode is for anyone who struggles with self-worth, feels quietly exhausted, or needs permission to say: I see what I do. And it matters.

Gratitude sounds simple… but does it actually work in practise? In part two of our gratitude mini-series, we move beyond the theory and into real life.

This week we’re diving the first part of our mini series on gratitude - not the sparkly Instagram version, but the real, science-backed, actually-useful kind that has nothing to do with “too blessed to be stressed” energy. We explore why gratitude still has such a powerful impact on the body and mind, and how the research has evolved. In this episode we cover: The updated science - How gratitude activates the parasympathetic nervous system (your built-in calm button) Why gratitude helps you sleep better Why it grounds you in real life instead of spiralling Micro vs. Macro Gratitude What to do when gratitude feels impossible Why gratitude sometimes lands badly - and what to try instead Pre-gratitude practices for when your system is overwhelmed Reframing gratitude as “noticing what else is true,” not pretending everything is fine. We also share our Self Care Steps to practicing gratitude and our own gratitude lists for the week as well as your shout outs.

It’s November - or as we’re calling it, No-vember: the month we stop overcommitting, overfunctioning, and saying yes when every fibre of our being is screaming no. We’ve spent decades saying yes - to work projects, school fairs, dinners we didn’t want to attend, and “quick favours” that were anything but. Our “yes” muscles are officially burnt out. This week, we’re discussing how to say a guilt free no, diving into why saying no is an act of emotional self-defence and chatting about the science behind why it’s harder for women, and how protecting your time protects your mental health. In this episode we discuss: The real benefits of saying no - from better relationships to stronger self-trust. Our best practical tips and “No Scripts” for polite but firm refusals. How to swap FOMO for JOMO (the Joy of Missing Out). The 5 self-care steps to saying no with kindness and confidence.

This episode is sponsored by Welbeck - providing beyond better healthcare Movember is the global movement to spark conversations and raise funds for men’s health; primarily prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health & suicide prevention. Roughly 133,000 men die prematurely in the UK each year from largely preventable causes. By the time many men do go to the doctor, the problem has advanced. But so many men are reluctant to go. As women we are culturally conditioned to be more aware of health issues, so who better than us to encourage the men in our lives to see a doctor. To help us talk through all of this today we are delighted to welcome Mr. Gidon Ellis, a consultant urologist. We discuss the reasons why 1 in 5 men have not been to the GP in over 5 years, the red flags every man should be aware of and how taking preventative measures can save your life. Please share what you learn in the episode with all the men in your life and encourage them to listen to the show.
