‘For women coming out later in life, it feels like Puberty 2.0’ • Podcaster Rosie Turner talks about the challenges and joys of embracing your true self later in life, the freedom of letting go of labels, and why living authentically is the ultimate act of self-love

When our search for safety goes wrong • Kim Morgan’s client Anna braves some painful conversations with her children to discover what is really behind her hoarding behaviour

The hidden cost of ANXIETY • It’s 4.33 am. Again. Every day this week, I’ve woken up at 4 o’clock sharp, and spent the next few hours trying to drift back to sleep. I lie there, thinking it must be my age, or what I ate last night, or maybe too much late-night scrolling has left my mind racing.

This is all very well and good when we’re off on holiday to some far flung destination. Or at the weekend when we can take a picnic out into nature. Or even when we’re just firing up the barbecue and laying on the grass in our own back garden.

Let the music speak • Music can reach the emotional depths that silence sometimes can’t, unlocking memory, movement, and meaning in unexpected ways.

Finding your balance in a confusing world • In an increasingly fast-paced, information-heavy world, It’s easy to succumb to overwhelm and exhaustion. Greta Solomon explores how to step into summer in a more centred way

Does balance feel like an illusion? • Everyone from the age-old sages to modern-day philosophers have extolled that the art of life is all about balance. But how do you find...
