Midlife makes us stop and take stock of life, where we’re at, what we want and what’s important to us. Things that we’ve ignored or never considered before suddenly need look at. In depth. Join me, Karen O’Connor, and my guests each week as we chat about the things that are important to us: health, families, finances, our purpose in life, the community around us and the (state of!) world in general. We cover a bus load of topics that need to be discussed, from what men need to know about menopause to how to plan your own funeral, from style and looking good to how to lose the menopause fat. If you’ve asked the question or thought about something to do with life after 50, you’ll hopefully find a podcast about it here. And if you don’t, message me because it’ll probably be a great topic to cover! Subscribe to the podcast so you don’t miss a single thought provoking episode: https://www.mmmpodcast.me/email

Sitting with our thoughts, self-awareness & belonging With Gaj Ravichandra
Wednesday Feb 08, 2023
Wednesday Feb 08, 2023
French philosopher Pascal in the 19th century had this beautiful quote that I think goes id something along the lines of this: all of the world's problems come from the fact that we cannot sit alone in a room by ourselves with our thoughts. Understanding our behaviours, reactions, our personality is so important, but for a lot of people, sitting with our inner thoughts, and analysing ourselves is one of the most uncomfortable things we will ever do. This week Gaj Ravichandra and I discuss the elements that make our personality, how fear drives our lives and how we are all broken.

Adaptibility, Curiousity & How To Cope With Stress - Karen O’Connor
Wednesday Feb 01, 2023
Wednesday Feb 01, 2023
When I think about the pandemic and the last few years, the different ways in which people responded was so fascinating - people I thought I knew well were responding in ways that I never expected.
It had me wondering things...Why did they respond in that way? Is there a common trait in the personality of those who hate change? Does the flight or fight response impact our adaptability to change?
In this episode I explore how our fight or flight responses impact how adaptable we are, how to best cope with street and why I believe being curious makes you more resilient.
