Take A Breath
A podcast for creating practical calm in the messy middle of midlife.
This is your space to pause.
Because life in midlife is full-on. Between work, family, menopause, and the mental load, your nervous system can easily end up in constant overdrive — leaving you feeling exhausted, reactive, and overwhelmed by even the smallest things.
Each week, I’ll share my own tools, alongside honest conversations and practical nervous system support — to help you create more calm, peace, joy, and inner steadiness. Not by escaping your life, because that’s totally unrealistic, but by meeting it differently.
So when you're ready, let’s take a breath together…

#151: Why do I Keep Doing this with Kati Morton
Let’s talk about the patterns we know aren’t helping… but keep falling back into anyway.
People-pleasing. Perfectionism. Overfunctioning.
Ever wondered why you keep doing the things you don’t want to do?
This week, I’m joined by the incredible Kati Morton — licensed therapist, bestselling author, and one of the very first mental health professionals to step onto YouTube.
Together, we dive deep into:
✨ Why we cling to control (and what’s underneath it)
✨ How childhood blueprints shape adult behaviour
✨ The emotional red flags we often ignore
✨ Managing anxiety, anger + emotional load at midlife
✨ Why asking for help feels so hard — and how to shift it
✨ Breaking old patterns, gently and compassionately
Kati’s latest book Why Do I Keep Doing This? is a must-read — and this episode is packed with wisdom that’ll help you understand yourself more deeply.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or stuck in old patterns…
This one’s for you 💛
