Warning: Some cursing in this podcast!

I had the pleasure of recording a podcast episode with Emer Byrne, a mindfulness coach specialising in fertility.

We delved into the topic of living a meaningful life after infertility, drawing from Emer's personal journey and professional expertise. Her story is a roller coaster of emotions, but she found solace in mindfulness, journaling, and counseling. Gratitude played a crucial role in shifting her perspective and finding fulfillment beyond motherhood.

Listen to my interview with Smaranda Maier who became aware of her own lack of self worth in her mid 30s and wasn't feeling fulfilled. She was able to track this feeling back to childhood and having a sense of not feeling good enough which impacted a lot of her life including her career and relationships.

Growing her self-worth started with an act of bravery where she divorced and became a single parent. She knew for certain she was doing the right thing and that it was the best decision for her and her son to be able to move forward. 

Part of her self-development work was to reparent herself. Journaling has been her biggest tool to reparent by helping her to let go of old unhelpful stories and continually remind herself that she is good enough. She notices that many of her clients struggle to name their feelings, which she sees as an important first step in developing self-worth. Again she sees journaling as a great tool to help with this.

Listen to my interview with Carrie Cohen who worked 20 years as a successful psychotherapist, she went as far as she could in her career, despite being the breadwinner in her family she took the leap at 48 into pursuing a different career. Surprisingly the biggest inspiration that pushed her into making this big change was a women's kettlebell group!

Carrie shares her tips on overcoming fear when changing careers by identifying your values, exploring various options and transferring your existing skills into something new. She used her old career to fund her new career and to maintain her lifestyle. When doing this it's important to find the balance between earning and your new passion.

Now she describes feeling like a new person, she loves the creativity it brings, exploring the entrepreneurial world and working with groups of women which she was missing from her previous career.
