  • Being Fearless in Midlife with Vicki Anstey

    Being Fearless in Midlife with Vicki Anstey
    26 Oct 2026
    What if turning 40 is about finally becoming brave enough to ask what do I actually want? This week on Self Care Club: The Midlife Edition, we’re talking fearlessness, resilience, reinvention and what happens when you stop living according to someone else’s expectations. Our guest is Vicki Anstey - who is an inspiring example of midlife reinvention, resilience, identity, courage and pushing your own limits. A double world record-holding adventurer, entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, human performance coach and author. After a career in marketing and building a successful fitness business, Vicki’s life changed dramatically at 40. She ended her marriage, entered SAS: Who Dares Wins, rowed unsupported across the Pacific Ocean and cycled 3,000 miles across America as part of record-breaking teams. But this conversation isn’t really about rowing oceans or cycling across continents. It’s about fear and what happens when you stop letting it make your decisions. We talk about confidence and ageing, resilience, failure, friendship under extreme pressure, starting again in midlife, and whether women have been taught to settle for smaller lives than they actually want. Vicki also tells us about her brilliant book, Other People Are Like The Weather: Stop Managing the Forecast, Start Mastering Yourself and why learning to manage ourselves rather than trying to control everything around us might be one of the biggest lessons of midlife. In this episode: What fear really feels like when you’re doing something terrifying How to build resilience Why confidence can come from experience What women underestimate about themselves as they get older Living according to someone else’s “forecast” Failure, setbacks and learning to trust yourself Why women need to stop asking for permission You can learn more about Vicki here: https://vickianstey.co.uk/ Instagram: @vickianstey Other People Are Like The Weather: Stop Managing the Forecast, Start Mastering Yourself is available now.

  • How to Say No in Midlife (Without the Guilt)

    How to Say No in Midlife (Without the Guilt)
    19 Oct 2026
    Why is saying no so hard for women in midlife? Your kids, your partner, your parents, your friends, your work and the school WhatsApp all want a piece of you — and because you're so capable, everyone assumes you'll say yes. This week on Self Care Club: The Midlife Edition, Nicole Goodman and Lauren Mishcon talk about why saying no might be one of the most important forms of self-care in your 40s and 50s — and how to actually do it without guilt. In this episode: Why women are conditioned to people-please — and why midlife is the moment to stop "What you tolerate, you allow": how being capable makes people assume you'll do everything The joy of JOMO — why you don't have to go to everything anymore Why a genuine no is kinder than a fake, resentful yes The simple pause that stops the automatic yes Every no is a yes to something else You don't need an excuse — how to say no honestly and briefly Saying no to the request, not the person Curating your friendships and letting other people be disappointed Where to start if you really struggle with setting boundaries If you've ever got to Friday night completely exhausted from a week of things you didn't want to do, this one's for you.
