After the last few years of dealing with COVID and lockdowns and the climate crisis and political instability and rising interest rates, it’s so easy to lose hope.But a study from Harvard University of nearly 13,000 people in their 60s shows that hope might be exactly what we need. The researchers discovered that those who had more hope throughout their lives had better physical health, fewer chronic health problems, less depression and less anxiety, and overall, a longer life.That’s why on today’s episode, we’ve brought meditation teacher Caitlin Cady back on the show to help us rediscover that hope and talk about her new book, aptly titled, The Hope Dealer (Affirm Press, $35). In this chat, we cover topics like failure, burn-out and disappointments, and Caitlin shares how a little bit of hope or inspiration can be the fuel to help you make much-needed changes.CREDITS: This podcast was hosted and produced by WH editor-in-chief Lizza Gebilagin with additional sound editing by Abby Williams.For more from Women’s Health Australia, find us on Instagram, visit our website or find the print and digital editions of the magazine.

A new issue of Women’s Health hit the stands on Monday featuring the incredible Anna Heinrich in Seafolly, so we thought it would be a good time to revisit the chat we had with her earlier this year where she talks about how putting yourself through immense physical challenges can help you break out of your comfort zone. I hope you enjoy it.---For most of her life, Anna Heinrich has suffered from imposter syndrome. You wouldn’t know it from looking at her life from the outside, since she first entered the public sphere almost 10 years ago on the very first season of The Bachelor, where she met her now husband Tim Robards, with whom she shares a daughter, Elle, who is now almost 18 months old. You also wouldn’t realise it either if you saw clips and photos of her running while on fire and generally beasting it through the challenges in this season of SAS. But the former criminal lawyer, who recently gave up her career to become a full-time entrepreneur and work on her supplement brand Intu Wellness, says imposter syndrome has plagued her for as long as she can remember. In this episode, she chats about how challenging herself physically and mentally, helped her to finally overcome it. She also talks about the importance of sleep, exercise and nutrition in her wellness routine, and how surrounding herself by people who lift her up, has led to her living a life beyond what she originally thought was possible.CREDITS: This podcast was hosted and produced by WH editor-in-chief Lizza Gebilagin.For more from Women’s Health Australia, find us on Instagram, visit our website or find the print and digital editions of the magazine.  Hosted on Acast.
