Internal Gratitude Welcome to the third and final episode of our gratitude mini-series, where we turn the spotlight inward and explore a practice that feels surprisingly uncomfortable for a lot of us: internal gratitude. This is about learning to appreciate yourself - not just your life. Most of us were never taught how to do this. We’re brilliant at acknowledging everyone else, but not so good when it comes to recognising our own effort, resilience, and growth.  In this episode, we talk about why internal gratitude matters - especially in midlife - when so many women are quietly holding everything together. We dig into: Effort Gratitude (not outcome gratitude): recognising where you showed up, kept going, and didn’t quit - even when no one was watching. Body Gratitude : gently acknowledging what your body has carried you through, frustrations and all. Younger Self Gratitude: thanking past versions of yourself for surviving, leaving, starting, or setting boundaries. Values Gratitude: honouring the values you live by  “No One Clapped” Gratitude: naming the invisible labour you do every day that rarely gets acknowledged. This episode is for anyone who struggles with self-worth, feels quietly exhausted, or needs permission to say: I see what I do. And it matters.

Gratitude sounds simple… but does it actually work in practise? In part two of our gratitude mini-series, we move beyond the theory and into real life.  This week we tried three simple gratitude practices:  The Gratitude Walk,  The One-Text Challenge,  The Gratitude Swap  To see what genuinely helped, what felt extremely awkward,what surprised us and which ones we just didn't do!  If you liked this episode and want to be part of the club, come follow us on all our socials:  To Listen To 40ISH - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/40ish/id1757876983 To order our book “HAVE YOU TRIED THIS?” click here - Paperback out now!  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Have-You-Tried-This-Only/dp/1801293139/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1O7EA4ZF1O5CS&keywords=have+you+tried+this&qid=1699449028&sprefix=have+you+tried+%2Caps%2C125&sr=8-2 For Our Exclusive Merch - https://self-care-club.myspreadshop.co.uk/ Join Our Private Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1115099072702743/?ref=share_group_link Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/selfcareclubpod/ YouTube https://youtube.com/c/SelfCareClub TikTok https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMLnXyS1S/ Email hello@theselfcareclub.co.uk  Website www.theselfcareclub.co.uk Studio production by @launchpodstudios Music by purpleplanet.

This week we’re diving the first part of our mini series on gratitude - not the sparkly Instagram version, but the real, science-backed, actually-useful kind that has nothing to do with “too blessed to be stressed” energy. We explore why gratitude still has such a powerful impact on the body and mind, and how the research has evolved.  In this episode we cover: The updated science - How gratitude activates the parasympathetic nervous system (your built-in calm button) Why gratitude helps you sleep better  Why it grounds you in real life instead of spiralling Micro vs. Macro Gratitude What to do when gratitude feels impossible Why gratitude sometimes lands badly - and what to try instead Pre-gratitude practices for when your system is overwhelmed Reframing gratitude as “noticing what else is true,” not pretending everything is fine.  We also share our Self Care Steps to practicing gratitude and our own gratitude lists for the week as well as your shout outs.  If you liked this episode and want to be part of the club, come follow us on all our socials:  To Listen To 40ISH - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/40ish/id1757876983 To order our book “HAVE YOU TRIED THIS?” click here - Paperback out now!  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Have-You-Tried-This-Only/dp/1801293139/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1O7EA4ZF1O5CS&keywords=have+you+tried+this&qid=1699449028&sprefix=have+you+tried+%2Caps%2C125&sr=8-2 For Our Exclusive Merch - https://self-care-club.myspreadshop.co.uk/ Join Our Private Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1115099072702743/?ref=share_group_link Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/selfcareclubpod/ YouTube https://youtube.com/c/SelfCareClub TikTok https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMLnXyS1S/ Email hello@theselfcareclub.co.uk Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s November - or as we’re calling it, No-vember: the month we stop overcommitting, overfunctioning, and saying yes when every fibre of our being is screaming no. We’ve spent decades saying yes - to work projects, school fairs, dinners we didn’t want to attend, and “quick favours” that were anything but. Our “yes” muscles are officially burnt out. This week, we’re discussing how to say a guilt free no, diving into why saying no is an act of emotional self-defence and chatting about the science behind why it’s harder for women, and how protecting your time protects your mental health. In this episode we discuss:  The real benefits of saying no - from better relationships to stronger self-trust. Our best practical tips and “No Scripts” for polite but firm refusals. How to swap FOMO for JOMO (the Joy of Missing Out). The 5 self-care steps to saying no with kindness and confidence.

This episode is sponsored by Welbeck - providing beyond better healthcare Movember is the global movement to spark conversations and raise funds for men’s health; primarily prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health & suicide prevention. Roughly 133,000 men die prematurely in the UK each year from largely preventable causes. By the time many men do go to the doctor, the problem has advanced. But so many men are reluctant to go. As women we are culturally conditioned to be more aware of health issues, so who better than us to encourage the men in our lives to see a doctor. To help us talk through all of this today we are delighted to welcome Mr. Gidon Ellis, a consultant urologist. We discuss the reasons why 1 in 5 men have not been to the GP in over 5 years, the red flags every man should be aware of and how taking preventative measures can save your life.

This episode is sponsored by Welbeck - providing beyond better healthcare October, as I’m sure many of you are already aware, is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It’s the most common cancer in women worldwide. About 1 in 7 women born after 1960 will be diagnosed in their lifetime. Early detection is the key but that means going for your mammogram -  and if you’re thinking “nah, I’ll skip it,” just know that screening saves about 1,300 lives in England every year. So, it’s worth the five minute squish!  Ladies and gents  check your boobs. And if you’re not sure how, we have an expert to walk you through that later in the episode. To discuss all this we are joined by Johanna Kelsey who is a mammographer at Welbeck and who has joined us before on the show back in January 2024 and who we are delighted to have here again.

We are back with a brand-new season of The Self Care Club! We’re kicking things off with one of the hottest buzzwords in wellbeing right now: gut health.  There’s so much information (and misinformation) out there, but what does it really mean, and why should you care? As always at Self Care Club, we cut through the confusion to simplify and demystify: To help us unpack the noise, we’re joined by James Kinross—one of the UK’s leading experts, senior lecturer and consultant surgeon in colorectal surgery. Think you know about gut health? You don’t. James’ charisma, warmth, and humour make this conversation as funny and relatable as it is fascinating and insightful. He breaks down: What the microbiome really is The gut-brain connection The truth behind the myth of IBS How your gut could be shaping your mood, mental clarity, and anxiety and vice versa. Yes really! It’s smart, surprising, and will completely change the way you think about your belly. The perfect start to our new season.
