How do you feel about landmark birthdays? The emerging "new longevity" trend is shaking up the traditional milestones, with 60 being branded the new 40 or 50.

Yes, age is just a number. But gaining diamond status does warrant celebrating. And longevity is NOT just about adding years to your life - it's time to add life to your years.

So I'm delighted to be joined by The Connectress Hela Wozniak-Kay as she shares her rather refreshing take on relishing her sixth decade.

What messages are YOU giving out?

How we communicate with others goes far deeper than the words we use... it's our body language too!

So how can we strike a balance, and make sure the messages we are giving out match our intentions.

To find out, I'm calling in the expert Dr Beth Dawson. Join me and Beth as we explore the subtle changes in how we communicate that Midlife brings - from speaking more honestly, via setting clearer boundaries to becoming less concerned with managing other people's impressions of us.

And don't miss Beth's insights and top tips for how to make communication our superpower.

Do you feel like you are waiting…for someone to say it’s ok to do it..

To feel certain.. To feel ready?

How often do you talk yourself out of something with the phrase… I really shouldn’t

Then add a “What would they say?” or “I haven’t got time”. Making excuses to yourself again and again.

With so many things changing in our lives, midlife really is the time to take stock

To start asking ourself why we are making these excuses. To quit guilt-tripping ourselves!

If this resonates, then this episode is just for you

Because I’m delighted to be joined by my guest Jeanette Couldry, who coaches women to be self-sufficient, to talk about How to give yourself permission.

Tune in for our insights and lessons learned as we've navigated our Midlife "sandwich", overcome people pleasing behaviour and fear of judgement and ditched the guilt to start giving ourselves permission to live our Second Spring OUR way.

Midlife divorce rates are on the rise, with grey divorces – those of over 50s – doubling in the UK since the 1990s.

According to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics, women are now more likely than men to apply for divorce.

And as the longevity revolution gathers pace, this silver splitting trend looks likely to continue.

So I’m delighted to be joined by my guest Farhana Hussain, Divorce Doula and author of “She’s Not Done Yet”, to talk about how to realise that divorce isn’t your downfall, it’s your doorway.

We explore the stigma and societal pressures that still shroud divorce, how to recognise that you are stuck in your own story, and how to choose and live your new story by “turning your mess into your masterpiece.”

And Farhana shares honest and heartfelt insights and lessons learned from her own divorce journey that we can use to help navigate our own path through this potential minefield of emotions.

We talk a lot about self-care here on Midlife Unlimited, and it goes way deeper than bubble baths and long lunches with loved ones.

But while we explore the “doing” that is self-care, it can be all to easy to overlook the “being” part of self-compassion – self-kindness.

So I’m delighted to be joined by my guest founder of Kindness for Success coaching and consulting Kim Stokes to examine the difference between self-care and self-kindness.

Kim shares her metamorphosis story from anxiety and corporate burnout to discovering that “we can’t be kind to others sustainably if we’re not kind to ourselves”.

We explore how being unkind to ourselves manifests itself – from our inner critic’s harsh words to not identifying and nurturing our needs.

Tune in too for insights and Kim’s top tips for how we can start being kinder to ourselves.

And Kim gives details of how she is marking Mental Health Awareness Week with her #24forKindness 24-hour broadcast in aid of Mind on May 11th and 12th.

I don't often "do" days, but there's a day allotted to April 30th - the day this episode airs - that piqued my interest. It's National Honesty Day.

Which made me think of the seeming battle cry flooding my socials - that Midlife is our time to start giving zero f..ks!

No more bubble-wrapping how we're really feeling. No sugar-coating. No holding back...

But does telling the truth come at a price? And does the odd white lie have its uses?

To explore this conundrum, I'm delighted to be joined by my guest Authority Architect and founder of Framework Thinking® Susanna Reay.

We discuss how honesty is two-fold - how we are with others, and (more importantly) with ourselves. And we explore the difference between being honest and not lying.

Susanna explains how she is benefiting from being more honest with herself and others, and we share our insights and top tips for how to be honest in our second chapter.

Retreats. Whether it's a business brainstorm at a Yorkshire farmhouse, or a blissful Bali soul cleanse, more and more of us are discovering the delights of going on a retreat... taking time out to refocus, refuel and recharge.

And more and more of the women I speak to have enjoyed the experience so much they are toying with the idea of running one themselves.

So, in true Midlife Unlimited® style, this episode will help you stop dreaming and start doing as my guest Intuitive coach and holistic therapist Joanna Tocher shares insights and inspiration from her years of running fabulous retreats for women celebrating Midlife and beyond.
