Description
We’re The Midlife Mentors. Here to lift the lid on our no nonsense approach to midlife health and happiness.
As midlifers, we’re constantly told we need have it all figured out. But in fact most of us don’t.Our mission is not only to de-bust the crazy diet and fitness myths, but to empower and educate from an authentic and balanced perspective based on reality.
It’s time to step away from the madness we manifest in our attempts to attain goals that are unachievable, as we help you focus on the daily opportunities that redefine who and what you are, with the wisdom that comes with age.

In this episode we speak to the truly inspiring Todd Crandell. Todd spent 13-years in the trenches of drug addiction and alcoholism destroying his mind, body and relationships using heroin, cocaine, alcohol and in his words - every prescription drug he could get his hands on. He was homeless and suicidal. But, after his third arrest, he had a moment of clarity and quit his addictions - going cold turkey. From that point on Crandell took back control of his life. Since sobriety, he's...
Why does it feel so much harder to lose weight at midlife? Well you’re not imagining it, and you’re not alone. What we used to do in our 20s and 30s no longer works and that can be really frustrating. More often than not we see midlifers doing the wrong things, that aren’t tailored to the unique challenges we face at midlife. So in this episode we’re going to share the top 5 reasons it’s harder to lose weight at midlife, to give you a deeper understanding, and of course, bring some ...
In this episode we talk to journalist and author Jonathan Rauch about his book on midlife - The Happiness Curve. Inspired by his own experience Jonathan looked at research on age and happiness and found it shows that from our 20s into our 40s, happiness follows a well-documented U-shaped trajectory - a "happiness curve", declining from the optimism of youth into what's often a long, low trough in middle age, before starting to rise again in our 50s.The good news is this isn't a mi...
In this episode we look at the power of micro habits and how you can utilise small changes to get big results. Often we feel overwhelmed by the thought of what we’ll need to do to make meaningful change in our lives, but actively working with micro habits like we do in our programmes makes it simple and achievable - and above all sustainable.We take a look at the psychology and science behind investing in micro habits, including the importance of dopamine and rewards. We also look at how stac...

In this episode we’re discussing unhappiness at midlife. It seems, to varying degrees, we’re all experiencing the 'midlife malaise', and yet we’re also ashamed of feeling this way. We can feel very alone, even if we’re surrounded by people day in day out. This leads to isolation and feeling like there’s no point to it all…So we’re on a mission to destigmatise being unhappy at midlife, because not only is it normal, but incredibly common. We need to bring compassion and understanding as to why...

In this episode we discuss why it’s important not to ignore red flags - your gut instinct - that says something, someone or a situation isn’t quite right. We’ve all had this experience where we’ve ignored our instinct only to kick ourselves later down the line. Or we’ve made a decision quickly, not knowing why and it’s potentially changed the direction of our life. We share our own experiences of this and hope you enjoy it!Sign up to our free masterclass here:themidlifementors.com/master...
Do you often wonder why you find it so hard to change? Regardless of how much you try, you keep ending up doing the exact same things over and over? That’s because behaviour change is complex. And we want to be totally transparent - it’s not easy.But the most important thing to remember is that behaviour change IS possible, because not only have we changed our own unhealthy behaviours over the years, but we’ve also seen countless clients do the same on our eight week programme.So that’s why w...
In this episode we’re discussing failure, because there’s such pressure in today’s society to be a success, that we often find the fear of failure debilitating.The reality is, we all fail. We fail at relationships, we fail at business, we fail at personal goals, we fail at being true to our ourselves.But failure isn't the end unless we let it be. It's an integral part of trying. If we never fail, we're not taking risks or pushing boundaries. We're playing it safe. And safe might feel comforta...

The service is unique in bri...
Recently, you might have seen interviews with icons like Shaun Ryder of the Happy Mondays and Robbie Williams sharing their experiences of andropause.It's great to see high-profile figures discussing this condition, as it affects countless midlife men and their loved ones. But here's the thing – andropause isn't limited to rockstars. This often overlooked condition has been under-researched, with estimates suggesting that 20-25% of men may experience symptoms of low testosterone.In this episo...
In this episode we’re sharing the importance of a 'realistic' morning routine and the key word here is realistic, not perfect. This episode came about after seeing a post from someone on social media about their daily routine. It had about 30 things on it and we worked out that it would take over four hours to get through, before even starting work. This breeds a feeling of inadequecy and can make us feel as though we’re not doing enough or being enough. It also highlights why we must be disc...

In this episode we discuss the importance of social connection. This topic sprung from our own realisation of how, as entrepreneurs, we can sometimes feel isolated with our heads down in work. However, recently we’ve been speaking at events and networking and the fulfilment it’s brought has been staggering.This led us to look at some of the research around how a lack of social interaction can negatively affect not just our mental health, but physical health too - a well as life longevity.
