Take A Breath
A podcast for creating practical calm in the messy middle of midlife.
This is your space to pause.
Because life in midlife is full-on. Between work, family, menopause, and the mental load, your nervous system can easily end up in constant overdrive — leaving you feeling exhausted, reactive, and overwhelmed by even the smallest things.
Each week, I’ll share my own tools, alongside honest conversations and practical nervous system support — to help you create more calm, peace, joy, and inner steadiness. Not by escaping your life, because that’s totally unrealistic, but by meeting it differently.
So when you're ready, let’s take a breath together…
Take A Breath
Thursday Thoughts - Action Absorbs Anxiety
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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’ll find something of value in here.
Love,
Polly & Lucy x
