On today’s Thursday Thoughts, Lucy and I are talking about maintaining a positive mental attitude even when life throws us a curveball.

Last week, I injured my knee on the last day of my skiing trip, and am currently on crutches while I wait to find out how serious the injury is.

I talk about how I'm feeling and how I've been trying to stay positive and expect the best possible outcome. Because as Lucy and I have discussed here before, two people can experience the exact same circumstances in two very different ways - depending on their thinking.

We hope you’ll find something useful in here!

Love,
Polly & Lucy x

In this episode, I’m joined by the wonderful Margaret de Petro — a former psychotherapist whose work now spans coaching, NLP, intuition, and energy awareness. Margaret supports people around the world to feel more connected, clear, and confident in who they are and where they’re heading, especially during times of transition. Her work sits at the intersection of science, spirituality, and deep self-awareness, making this a fascinating and very grounded conversation.

Together, we explore what happens when you realise you’ve lost touch with yourself — that familiar midlife moment of questioning, “Is this it?” — and how intuition, energy, and presence can gently guide you back to clarity and purpose.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How intuition actually works and practical ways to start trusting and strengthening yours
• What your energy field is, how it can be measured, and how it responds to thoughts, emotions, and environments
• Simple ways to protect your energetic boundaries without effort or overwhelm
• Why the heart’s electromagnetic energy plays such a powerful role in authenticity, truth, and connection
• Gentle, practical tools for navigating grief, emotional overwhelm, and everyday depletion in midlife

This episode is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and remember that your inner wisdom hasn’t gone anywhere — it’s just been waiting for a little space.

On this week’s Monday Motivation, Lucy and I are getting intentional about 2026. Because any change you want to make starts with you, and now is the moment to begin living life by design, rather than by default.

We chat about why clarity of direction matters, and how real change happens when you start becoming, and embodying, the future version of yourself now.

We hope you find something useful in here.

Love Polly & Lucy

On today’s Thursday Thoughts, Lucy and I are talking about one of my favourite topics…enthusiasm!

Enthusiasm is one of the highest vibration emotions there is; and if we’re not feeling enthusiastic about anything in our life, that’s a sign that something needs to change.

But just like joy and gratitude, enthusiasm is something that we have to choose, to prioritise, to cultivate. And the more we cultivate it, the more things we’ll find to be enthusiastic about.

We really hope you’ll find something of value in this conversation.

Love,
Polly & Lucy x

Let’s talk about the patterns we know aren’t helping… but keep falling back into anyway.
People-pleasing. Perfectionism. Overfunctioning.
Ever wondered why you keep doing the things you don’t want to do?

This week, I’m joined by the incredible Kati Morton — licensed therapist, bestselling author, and one of the very first mental health professionals to step onto YouTube.

Together, we dive deep into:

✨ Why we cling to control (and what’s underneath it)
✨ How childhood blueprints shape adult behaviour
✨ The emotional red flags we often ignore
✨ Managing anxiety, anger + emotional load at midlife
✨ Why asking for help feels so hard — and how to shift it
✨ Breaking old patterns, gently and compassionately

Kati’s latest book Why Do I Keep Doing This? is a must-read — and this episode is packed with wisdom that’ll help you understand yourself more deeply.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or stuck in old patterns…
This one’s for you 💛

This week, Lucy and I are diving into Christmas — the bits that feel magical… and the bits that feel a little wobbly.

Because for so many of us, this season can stir up old stories, tricky family dynamics, or that familiar mix of sadness and joy sitting right next to each other.

We hope you find something useful in here.

Wishing you a very happy Christmas 🎄

Love,
Polly & Lucy xx

Today, Lucy and I are diving into some of our favourite non-fiction personal development books — the ones that have genuinely shifted how we think, feel, and show up in the world.

If you’re craving a change for the better, want to keep growing, and you’re naturally curious, these books will give you a nudge in the right direction.

Have you read any of our favourites?

And tell us — what would you add to the list? We love discovering new ones.

Love,
Polly & Lucy xx

As we move deeper into winter, it’s easy to start feeling just a bit... off.

Tired. Foggy. A little more emotional than usual. Maybe like you’re running on empty — even when you're technically doing “all the right things.”

If that’s you, you’re not alone — and this week’s podcast episode is here to help.

I’m joined by the brilliant Amanda Ryder, a registered nutritional therapist who specialises in women’s health over 40 — and we’re diving into one of the biggest keys to your energy, immunity, mood and overall resilience this season:

👉 Your gut.

In this conversation, Amanda shares calm, clear, practical tips for supporting your microbiome this winter — including how to start with fermented foods (even if you’ve never tried), how to spot when your gut needs some love, and how to stay well through the colder months without overcomplicating things.

We also talk about:

• the connection between gut health and stress
• how your immune system really works in winter
• easy changes you can make today to feel better tomorrow

This episode is packed with gold — especially if you’re someone who’s navigating the juggle of midlife and just wants to feel like yourself again.
