On today’s Thursday Thoughts, Lucy and I are talking about avoiding distractions.

It turns out that neither of us are very good at this and we both get distracted all the time! But hopefully you will find something in here that you resonate with, or that you find useful.

The headlines: turn all notifications off on your phone, turn the sound off too, and put it across the room when you’re working!

Love,
Polly & Lucy x

On this week’s Thursday's Thoughts, Lucy and I are talking about the stories we tell ourselves - the ones that shape our beliefs, actions, and ultimately, our lives.

Many of these narratives stem from childhood experiences, societal expectations, or past failures. While some empower us, others hold us back.

But when we take a step back and challenge these stories, we often realise they’re not absolute truths—just perspectives we’ve adopted along the way.

The good news? We have the power to rewrite our own stories and create a future that truly aligns with who we are.

We hope you find something useful in here.

Love,
Polly & Lucy xx

On today’s Thursday Thoughts, Lucy and I are talking about a quote by Howard Thurman which says: “Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

It may feel like the world is going to hell in a handbasket, but rather than focusing on all the negativity, we can help the world far more by focusing on feeling good within ourselves.

Watching the news 24/7, or talking incessantly about the cost of living and the state of politics might make us feel like we’re doing something, but actually all this does is reinforce all of the bad stuff, and spread even more negativity.

So if you want to help make the world a better place, start by making your own mind a better place to be; because it’s happy, joyful, creative people spreading their light who are truly making a difference.

We hope you’ll find something useful or interesting in here!

Love,

In this episode, I'm diving into the emotional rollercoaster of watching our children take flight and venture out into the world without us!

💬 Practical Tips for What’s Next
You’re still YOU! I’ll offer simple ways to rediscover yourself beyond motherhood.

On this week’s Thursday's Thoughts, Lucy and I are talking about the powerful philosophy of “memento mori” - the reminder that one day, we will die.

Far from being morbid, this ancient wisdom encourages us to embrace life more fully. When we acknowledge how short life actually is, we gain a clearer perspective on what truly matters.

We also delve into the biggest regrets of the dying and how ‘memento mori’ can help you make every moment count—leading to a more fearless, fulfilling life.

We hope you find something valuable in this conversation!

Love,
Polly & Lucy x

If you’re a seasoned runner, a casual jogger, or someone looking to get into running, this episode is a must-listen.

I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with running—but one simple shift completely transformed my experience: how I breathe. It’s something most of us overlook, yet it has a huge impact on endurance, energy, and overall performance.

She realized that career achievements alone didn’t bring personal fulfillment. For her, the path to a more meaningful life involved running and breathwork.

Join us as we dive into:

🌟 Alla’s journey from tech to coaching
🌟 How breathwork helps you reconnect with your body
🌟 How to make running more enjoyable
🌟 How your breathing patterns affect endurance and energy levels
🌟 Why obsessing over running data might be holding you back
