We’re The Midlife Mentors. Here to lift the lid on our no nonsense approach to midlife health and happiness.
As midlifers, we’re constantly told we need have it all figured out. But in fact most of us don’t.Our mission is not only to de-bust the crazy diet and fitness myths, but to empower and educate from an authentic and balanced perspective based on reality.
It’s time to step away from the madness we manifest in our attempts to attain goals that are unachievable, as we help you focus on the daily opportunities that redefine who and what you are, with the wisdom that comes with age.

The Cost Of Chronic Dysregulation & Why Resilience Needs A Rebrand
4d ago00:37:37Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailIn this episode, we’re exploring why 'resilience' needs a rebrand. The old model went out of fashion. It was all about pushing through, staying positive and performing no matter what - especially in the work environment. But in a world of relentless uncertainty and rising pressure, many of us aren’t just tired - we’re chronically dysregulated.True resilience has had to adapt. It looks different now and our work with organisations confirms the shift. It’s about learning how to regulate your nervous system, protect your attention, create inner steadiness and stay grounded when everything around you feels unstable.Because when we can’t find peace internally, we often start looking for it in the wrong places - through busyness, distraction, overworking or the habits we use to numb and soothe. This conversation is about resilience 2.0: building the kind of internal strength that helps you think clearly, lead calmly, and stay rooted in what matters most - at work, at home, and within yourself.

4w ago00:24:24Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailA recent Age UK study found that nearly a third of adults still feel affected by their school PE experiences… with many put off exercise for life.Not because they’re lazy, but because of how it made them feel.Being picked last. Feeling judged. Not fitting in.And what’s interesting is - those moments didn’t stay in childhood.

We offer 20 minute chats - for free - to unpick what's going on and help you get clarity on the next steps.

Transcribe →Stories Your Family Has Been Meaning to Tell: An Interview With Neil Taylor
Apr 1800:40:04Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailIf you're in the position where you still have a parent, or both parents, alive and well - this episode poses the question - how well do you really know them? Not just as mum or dad - but as people, with their own stories, struggles and choices.After losing his father, our guest on today's episode - Neil Taylor, realised something most of us avoid. He'd run out of time to ask his dad the things that truly mattered. Since then, he's dedicated his life to capturing parent's stories that would potentially be lost forever through his work - Me & My Old ManThis is a beautiful (and sometimes difficult) conversation about family, legacy and healing - and why making time is truly transformative.We also want to acknowledge that some of you listening may have already lost a parent, so understandably this episode might feel a little raw and potentially reflective. So please listen with care and self compassion.For more information:https://www.meandmyoldman.co.uk/IG: neilptaylor_ Support the showPlease remember, if you find the show helpful or it makes you laugh, motivates and inspires you - please do like, share and rate us.

Transcribe →Separation After Infidelity: A Guide To Moving Forward With Self Compassion
Apr 1300:32:04Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailToday we’re tackling a tricky subject - separation after infidelity… This episode was inspired by a workshop we were asked to run for a corporate client on the subject, and despite the tough emotional angle, we were blown away by the engagement from participants, so we thought we’d share what we talked about here.This isn’t about blame or picking apart what went wrong. It’s about recognising that when trust is broken, it doesn’t just affect the relationship - it shakes our sense of self, safety and reality.You might be feeling everything right now… anger, confusion - perhaps even relief...or nothing at all. In this episode, we’ll try to help you make sense of what you’re feeling so you can start finding your footing again.It’s not about having all the answers, but about being compassionate as you move along your own individual journey of healing.We're by no means 'experts', but we have been through this ourselves - and coached many clients through their own separation challenges.So we hope this episode helps you feel seen, heard and understood.

Mar 1400:43:23Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailIf you’re in midlife and raising teenagers, you’ll know it can sometimes feel like you’re living with a complete stranger. One minute they’re the child who used to tell you everything… and the next they’re behind a closed door, headphones in and phone glued to their hand. It can leave even the most loving, well-meaning parent wondering: am I getting this right?In this episode we’re joined by Dr Suzanne Simpson, who has spent years working with teenagers in educational and psychiatric settings. She shares powerful insights into what our teens really need from us right now - and it might not be what you think. We talk about why connection matters more than perfection, how curiosity builds trust, and why the small moments of presence between parent and child matter far more than any clever tools and techniques.If you sometimes feel unsure how to reach your teenager, how to set boundaries around technology, or how to keep the lines of communication open… this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.https://www.drsuzannesimpson.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/drsuzannesimpson/ Support the showPlease remember, if you find the show helpful or it makes you laugh, motivates and inspires you - please do like, share and rate us.
