On today’s Thursday Thoughts, Lucy and I are talking about how long we allow ourselves to dwell on things that aren’t serving us; in other words, where we’re placing our attention. How often do you actually notice where your mind is at any given moment? And how often do you find yourself ruminating on something that isn’t making you feel good? Perhaps you had an argument with a friend, or maybe you’re worried about an email from your boss. Are you still thinking about it three days later? L...

#147: Reclaiming Confidence in Midlife with Sarah Snape
Wondering where your confidence has gone? You’re not alone. So many of us at midlife have spent years proving, pleasing, and performing — and somewhere along the way, we lose touch with who we really are. In this episode, I’m joined by Sarah Snape, a midlife and confidence coach who’s walked this path herself. After years of self-doubt and people-pleasing, she realised there had to be more to life than ticking boxes and blending in. Now, she helps women rebuild confidence from the inside out ...

Thursday Thoughts - A Beginner's Guide to Meditation
On this weeks Monday Motivation, Lucy and I are sharing our thoughts about meditation. We’re diving into what meditation really is - why it’s not about ‘switching off your mind’, and why meditation has been such a game changer for both of us. We also share some simple ways to start your own practice. Because meditation is a practice - the benefits feel subtle at first, but over time, they’re absolutely life-changing. We hope you find something useful in here. Love Polly & Lucy xx Down...

#146: How to Reclaim Your Energy with Hope Pedraza
Do you ever wonder if the version of you who had endless energy… is gone for good? Not because you’re unmotivated. But because you’ve been running on empty, in ways you’ve learned to normalise. If your mind rarely slows down, your body never fully relaxes, and even doing “all the right things” still leaves you depleted, this episode is for you. This week, I’m joined by Hope Pedraza — Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Holistic Nutritionist, and Pilates studio owner — whose work sup...

Thursday Thoughts - The Perils of Social Media
On this week's Thursday Thoughts, Lucy and I are talking all about the perils of social media…and screens in general. The global average daily time spent on social media is approximately 2.5 hours - shocking when you really think about it. And as we doom scroll through our feeds, it’s worth noting that we aren’t actually living our lives during that time - we’re watching the lives of others. The truth is that social media is highly addictive, and it’s up to us to bring awareness to our own ...

Thursday Thoughts - Stillness
On this week’s Thursday's Thoughts, Lucy and I are talking about stillness. We explore what really happens when you pause — how your nervous system softens, your clarity returns, and life begins to feel a little more spacious again. But stillness isn’t just about sitting cross-legged in silence. Sometimes it’s a quiet walk without your headphones, where your mind finally gets a moment to be still. We also chat about how meditation doesn’t just calm your mind — it’s scientifically proven to...

Thursday Thoughts - Fun
On today's Thursday Thoughts, Lucy and I are talking about the importance of having fun. Fun is essential for living a good life, especially with everything that's going on in the world at the moment. But fun can look very different for everyone (Lucy and I have very different ideas of what fun is!), and that's ok. Whether fun for you is a work 'away day' playing rounders in the park, or a quiet dinner with your bestie, it all matters. And we need to be intentional about incorporating more ...

#144: When You’re Tired of Snapping But Can’t Seem to Stop
Ever find yourself snapping at the smallest thing — and then instantly regretting it? In this solo episode, I unpack the real reason irritability spikes in midlife — especially for women juggling perimenopause, invisible loads, and nervous systems that never get a moment’s rest. I explore: Why you’re not “overreacting” — you’re overcapacityThe link between chronic over-breathing and emotional reactivityWhat the snap moment is really showing you (it’s not failure, it’s feedback)How to gently w...

Thursday Thoughts - Making Decisions
On today's Thursday Thoughts, Lucy and I are talking about making decisions. There is nothing worse than the pain of indecision. You go back and forth, driving yourself crazy by not deciding. And the truth is that you're never going to know if you've made the 'right' or 'wrong' decision until you've actually made it. In this conversation, Lucy and I talk about our own experiences of decision making, how making decisions quickly is a skill, and why ultimately, whatever decision we make, we w...

#143: Reclaiming Confidence and Visibility in Midlife with Nicky Hambleton-Jones
In this episode, I'm joined by fabulous Nicky Hambleton-Jones, best known as the presenter of the hit TV show 10 Years Younger, but who's work goes far beyond makeovers. Together, we explore how style becomes more than skin-deep — especially in midlife, when confidence can feel elusive and identity is in flux. This is a conversation about self-image, visibility, and using what you wear as a tool to remember who you are — and who you’re becoming. Together, we explore: Why so many women feel in...

Thursday Thoughts - Taking Up Space
On this week’s Thursday's Thoughts, Lucy and I are diving into the idea of taking up space, something so many of us women have been conditioned not to do. But the truth is shrinking doesn’t serve us. When we apologise for existing, second-guess what we say, or dim our brilliance, we hide the very magic that makes us who we truly are. We talk about the subtle, everyday ways this “shrinking” shows up, and how we can start reclaiming our space with confidence and authenticity. We hope you fin...

#142: How to Interrupt the Everyday Worry Spiral in Just Two Minutes
Ever found yourself spiralling — replaying conversations at 2am, feeling the guilt after snapping at your kids, or feeling overwhelmed with your breath stuck in your chest? You’re not alone, and you can stop the loop in just two minutes. This week, I share a very real story about dropping my son off at university in Barcelona… only to come home to visa issues and a leak through my kitchen ceiling. Suddenly, I was caught in the spiral too. Inside this episode, I talk about: Why spirals feel en...

We chat about why committing can feel so hard sometimes, especially when it comes to the promises we quietly make to ourselves. And we explore a few simple ways to start moving forward again, gently but meaningfully. Because it's often those small, consistent commitments that help you feel stronger, more grounded, and so much better in your own skin. Have a listen if you need a little nudge toda...

#141: Who Do You Want To Be with Alison Weihe
This week’s episode of Menomorphosis asks a powerful question: 👉 Who do you want to be? For Alison Weihe, the answer wasn’t simple. She’s been an activist, educator, leader, survivor. She grew up in apartheid South Africa, witnessed injustice up close, even met Desmond Tutu. Later, she and her husband built a business — only to lose it to betrayal and fraud. But beneath all of that identity-shifting, Alison was fighting a quieter battle: emotional eating, and the ache to finally feel like she...

#140: Unmasking Midlife - Finding Freedom in Your True Self with Brenda Winkle
Midlife isn’t just about hormonal changes—it’s also about identity shifts, redefining who you are, and learning how to live with more calm and clarity. In this episode, I continue my conversation with Brenda Winkle, energetic leadership guide, intuitive channel, and somatic mentor. If you listened to part one on Brenda’s podcast Your Yes Filled Life, you’ll know we explored a powerful reframe of perimenopause and menopause.

On today’s Monday Motivation, Lucy and I are talking about why we love getting up early, and how those quiet first hours set us up for the day. If you’re someone who craves starting the day with calm, space, and intention, then a morning routine might just be your secret weapon. We explore why mornings matter, how it really all begins the night before with a good night’s sleep, and why your routine has to fit your life, not the other way around.

#139: The Healing Power of Walking with Linzi Bell
I spoke with Linzi Bell — adventurer, speaker, and mental health advocate — just days after she completed the Camino Via Francigena: 1,512 miles in just 66 days. Fresh off the trail, our conversation became a moment of deep reflection on the healing power of nature, the emotional honesty that long-distance walking invites, and the kind of growth that only arrives when you give yourself space to feel it all. And what a journey it’s been. Not only has she walked across Europe — she also beca...

Thursday Thoughts - Action Absorbs Anxiety
On this week's Thursday Thoughts, Lucy and I are talking about a concept promoted by Dan Harris: Action Absorbs Anxiety. This is the idea that taking even the smallest of actions can help to reduce feelings of powerlessness and helplessness, by channelling that restless, stuck energy and shifting it onto something more productive. Polly and I also talk about another similar idea, which is that clarity comes from taking action - something that both of us have found to be true. We hope you’l...
