Rethinking Time, Productivity & Purpose: Interview with Lissa Figgins
Send us Fan Mail Do you ever feel like you’re in a constant battle with time? Always trying to find more of it and always falling short? If this sounds familiar, we’d encourage you to keep your mind open as you listen to this episode, and consider that the problem might not be time, but our relationship with it. This week we’re joined by Lissa Figgins, a scaling strategist and podcast host from the US, to talk about time from a Christian perspective — and the difference between managing our time and actually stewarding it. We talk about why modern life has left so many of us feeling constantly behind, the impact of technology, and why asking ‘what is it time for?’ might be a much better question than ‘how do I fit everything in? This is a really thought-provoking conversation, so let’s get into it.

What A Hostage Negotiator Can Teach Us About Communication: Interview With Nicky Perfect
Send us Fan Mail What can a hostage negotiator teach us about having better conversations? Quite a lot, it turns out. Today we're joined by Nicky Perfect, a former police hostage and crisis negotiator who spent years working with the police and UK government in some incredibly challenging situations - including kidnappings, terrorist incidents and major crises. She went on to become Director of UK Training for hostage and crisis negotiation, teaching police officers, military personnel and other professionals how to communicate in high-pressure situations. In this episode we talk to Nicky about conflict, communication, listening, relationships and why sometimes the most important thing you can do in a difficult conversation is not to talk at all. Because as Nicky says, connection comes before direction. So, whether you’re in a relationship, managing a difficult conversation at work, or simply trying to communicate better with the people you care about, there’s a lot in this conversation for you.

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever wondered why, in your 40s or 50s, you suddenly don't seem to cope with the stress the way you used to?

Back from the Break: What’s Changed, What Matters & Where Do We Go From Here?
Send us Fan Mail We've had a few weeks off over August, but while we've been away, the world hasn't exactly stood still. So today we're having a bit of a catch-up - what's happened in the world, what's caught our attention, and what does any of it actually mean for us? From Meta and our relationship with social media, to the new UK government, gold quietly moving from the US to London, and what's happening in the bond markets and our pensions. We'll also touch on the idea of the 100-year life, and perhaps most importantly, what September feels like as a natural point to stop, take stock and ask: what are we going to do differently? https://themidlifementors.com/ Support the show Please remember, if you find the show helpful or it makes you laugh, motivates and inspires you - please do like, share and rate us.

Why You're Running On Autopilot
Send us Fan Mail Let me ask you a question. If nothing changed over the next five years - if you kept living exactly as you are today - how would you honestly feel? It’s all easy to slip into patterns in life, so though we might be successful, busy, doing all the things we thought we were supposed to do… something feels missing. So in today's episode, I'm talking about one of the biggest hidden challenges of midlife: how we gradually drift onto autopilot without even realising it. I'll explore why success doesn't always bring fulfilment, why the second half of life asks different questions to the first, and, most importantly, how you can start living more intentionally again. So, if you've ever caught yourself wondering, "Is this really it?" then this episode is for you.

Cracking The Man Code: Unlock The Mystery of How Men Think, Love & Communicate - Interview with Mat Boggs
Send us Fan Mail Relationships can be one of the most rewarding parts of life... but they can also be one of the most confusing, especially in midlife. Many women tell us they feel like the man they love has changed. He's become quieter, more distant, or harder to connect with. At the same time, many men say they don't even recognise themselves anymore. So what's really going on? In today's episode, we're joined by one of the world's leading relationship coaches and author of Cracking The Man Code, Mat Boggs, to unpack what's happening beneath the surface. We explore what women often misunderstand about men, why so many men seem to pull away in midlife, what they're actually craving in a relationship, and the communication tools that can help create deeper connection. Whether you're in a long-term relationship or dating again in midlife, this is a practical conversation packed with insights and simple takeaways you can start using straight away.

Is 'Midlife' Having A Moment?
Send us Fan Mail In this episode we’re discussing whether there’s a midlife moment going on? When we launched The Midlife Mentors podcast back in 2019, people told us using the term midlife was a bad idea as no one liked it. Midlife wasn't a fashionable subject. It was something people associated with crisis, decline or simply getting older, not a stage of life people actively wanted to talk about. Fast forward to today and it feels like midlife is everywhere. From menopause and longevity to healthspan, hormones and even how employers think about an ageing workforce, something has definitely shifted. So is this just a moment in the spotlight? Or are we witnessing the beginning of a genuine reinvention of the way we view midlife that's changing what we think is possible? And what exciting things might come next?

Unlocking Financial Freedom For Every Woman: With Alex Theis
Send us Fan Mail Money affects almost every area of our lives, yet it's one of the subjects many of us feel least confident talking about. And yet - in midlife, when we're thinking about retirement, career changes, caring for ageing parents, or simply creating more freedom and security, understanding our finances has never been more important. Today's guest is Alex Theis. After an 18-year career in finance and investment banking, Alex combined her financial expertise with coaching to help women build confidence with money, challenge limiting beliefs, and make investing and financial planning feel far less overwhelming. Through her work and her 'Women Can Finance' community, she's on a mission to make financial wellbeing accessible, empowering and, dare we say it, even enjoyable. In this conversation, we explore why so many women lack confidence around money, how our childhood experiences shape our financial habits, the psychology behind spending and debt, practical first steps to growing wealth, and why taking control of your finances isn't just about money - it's about creating more choice, confidence and freedom in every area of your life.

If We Could Go Back Five Years...
Send us Fan Mail Five years ago, the world looked very different. We were navigating a global pandemic, rebuilding our business, and trying to make sense of an uncertain future. Like so many people, we had no idea what the next few years would bring. If we could go back and sit down with our younger selves, knowing everything we know now, what would we say? In this episode, we're sharing the lessons we wish we'd learned sooner - from trusting ourselves instead of the noise around us, to realising that healing is often more important than discipline, and why relationships, faith, rest and taking time to pause have become some of the greatest priorities in our lives. Whether you're navigating change, questioning what's next, or simply wondering if you're on the right path, we hope this conversation encourages you to reflect on your own journey - and perhaps helps you learn a few things from our hindsight rather than having to learn them all the hard way.

We're living in the safest, most technologically advanced time in human history... so why do so many of us feel stressed, anxious and mentally exhausted?

Banning Social Media for Under-16s: What You Need To Know - An Interview With Lord Bethell
Send us Fan Mail What if we look back on social media the same way we now look back on smoking? In this thought-provoking episode, we're joined by Lord Bethell, one of the leading voices behind the push for stronger online protections for children and the proposed social media legislation in the UK. We explore why governments are finally stepping in, what age verification could mean for young people, the hidden impact of algorithms on developing minds, and why some experts believe social media has become one of the biggest public health challenges of our time. But this conversation goes far beyond politics. We dive into addiction, loneliness, AI companions, the future of human connection, and the uncomfortable question of whether technology is serving us - or whether we've become the product.

Why We Remember Criticism and Forget the Good
Send us Fan Mail Why is it that one piece of criticism can stay with us for years, yet we quickly forget the things that are going well? The answer lies in our psychology. Human beings are wired to spot threats and problems. It's how we survived. But in today's world, that negativity bias can leave us stressed, anxious and focused on what's wrong. In this episode, James is flying solo exploring the science of gratitude. Not as a fluffy self-help idea, but as a practical tool for improving wellbeing, resilience and perspective. James looks at what psychology tells us, why gratitude works, and how you can train your brain to notice more of what's good in your life.

The Courage to Begin Again As A Midlife Woman: With Executive Coach Hazel Martin
Send us Fan Mail This week, I, Claire - go solo for a beautiful conversation with executive coach Hazel Martin and, honestly, this episode went somewhere completely different from where I expected. We started out talking about career change for midlife women and how our purpose shifts as we enter our menopause years, but what unfolded was a much deeper conversation about the stories we tell ourselves, the dreams we've quietly put on hold, and why so many women reach midlife feeling disconnected from the parts of themselves that once felt most alive. If you've ever wondered, "Is this really it?" or felt there's something more for you, I truly believe you'll love this conversation.

Who Am I Now? The Midlife Identity Shift
Send us Fan Mail Have you ever looked at your life and thought, "I don't feel like me anymore?" Maybe everything looks fine on the surface. The career, the family, the home, the responsibilities you've spent years building. But underneath, something feels different. You feel restless, disconnected, flat... or perhaps you're questioning things that once seemed certain. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. In today's episode, we're talking about one of the most common but least discussed experiences of midlife: the shift in identity that happens as our roles change, our priorities evolve, our bodies and hormones change, and we begin asking deeper questions about who we are and what truly matters. We'll explore why so many men and women feel lost during this stage of life, how it shows up in everyday behaviours, and most importantly, how to navigate it with greater clarity, self-compassion and hope. Because this isn't about having a midlife crisis. It's about discovering who you are becoming.

When Fatherhood Doesn't Happen: A Conversation About Male Childlessness With Dr. Robin Hadley
Send us Fan Mail Today’s episode is a really important conversation and honestly, one we don’t hear enough about. Because Claire has spoken about female childlessness on this podcast a few times, but we’ve not discussed male childlessness… particularly the emotional impact of it, the silence around it, and why so many men feel they have to carry that experience alone. Whether it’s through circumstance, infertility, relationships not working out, or simply life not unfolding the way someone expected, involuntary male childlessness can have a profound effect on identity, mental health, relationships, and how men see themselves in the world. Yet unlike the conversations we often have around women and fertility, men’s experiences in this area are rarely talked about openly. So today, we’re joined by someone who has dedicated years of research to understanding exactly that. Dr. Robin Hadley is an author, researcher and leading voice on male childlessness and male fertility narratives. His work explores the psychological, emotional and social impact of childlessness in men, and why so many feel invisible in conversations around fertility, masculinity and family life. This is a really honest, thoughtful and emotional conversation about identity, grief, masculinity, relationships, ageing, and the expectations society places on men. So whether this topic affects you personally, someone you love, or you’re simply curious to better understand the male experience - this is an episode well worth listening to.

The Cost Of Chronic Dysregulation & Why Resilience Needs A Rebrand
Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we’re exploring why 'resilience' needs a rebrand. The old model went out of fashion. It was all about pushing through, staying positive and performing no matter what - especially in the work environment. But in a world of relentless uncertainty and rising pressure, many of us aren’t just tired - we’re chronically dysregulated. True resilience has had to adapt. It looks different now and our work with organisations confirms the shift. It’s about learning how to regulate your nervous system, protect your attention, create inner steadiness and stay grounded when everything around you feels unstable. Because when we can’t find peace internally, we often start looking for it in the wrong places - through busyness, distraction, overworking or the habits we use to numb and soothe. This conversation is about resilience 2.0: building the kind of internal strength that helps you think clearly, lead calmly, and stay rooted in what matters most - at work, at home, and within yourself.

Peptides & Longevity: Miracle Breakthrough or Risky Trend? Interview with Dr Enayat.

We’re joined by Dr. Enayat, a GP and founder of Human Longevity Clinics, who’s working at the cutting edge of personalised, preventative medicine.

Dr. E breaks down what peptides actually are, where they can help, and more importantly - where they can go seriously wrong. We get into the risks, the hype, the need for proper testing and medical supervision… and why, if your foundations aren’t in place, you’re wasting your time. If you’ve been curious about peptides, biohacking or the future of longevity - this is the episode you need to hear.

The Age Rebellion: Why Midlife Is Our Time to Rise - Interview with Lyndsey Simpson
Send us Fan Mail Today on The Midlife Mentors, we’re joined by Lyndsey Simpson, serial entrepreneur, author of The Age Rebellion - and a powerful voice challenging everything we’ve been told about getting older. Because here’s the truth - we’re living longer than ever before - decades longer, in fact - and yet so many of us are still following an outdated societal script of winding down, playing small, or waiting for 'retirement' to finally live. Lyndsey is leading what she calls an 'age rebellion' - a movement to rewrite the rules, reclaim control and design a second half of life that’s driven by passion, purpose and possibility. In this inspiring and uplifting conversation, we explore what it really means to take ownership of what comes next - how to break free from limiting beliefs about age…and why your most exciting, fulfilling years are most definitely still ahead of you. So if you’re feeling as though there must be more, and want to build a life you never want to retire from - take a listen.
