<p>Self-care is something of a taboo in a lot of people’s minds because we’ve been made to feel guilt or shame about the idea of taking time to look after ourselves - especially when there’s so many other people, beings and problems needing our attention. Yet resourcing ourselves, strengthening our resilience and focusing on wellbeing are not just ‘nice things to do’ - they are essential actions to support anything else we may wish to do now and in the future.</p><br><p>When we fill up our own cup, we have capacity to fill up others. But what does it mean to resource ourselves and how can we do this? In this week’s podcast we dive into the need and process of resourcing ourselves so that we can strengthen our own sense of resilience and wellbeing in order to support the wider world around us.</p><br><p>In this episode we reference the following:</p><p><br></p><ul><li><a href="https://thoughtboxeducation.com/article/resourcing-ourselves" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Resourcing and sustainability </a>- Rachel Musson (Blog)</li></ul><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

<p>Ask any child their age and they'll happily tell you, but for adults it is a different story. In certain cultures, elders are a revered and respected part of the community, whilst in many others ageing has become something to fight against. Despite it being the most natural part of our evolution, growing older and being proud of our ageing has become something of a taboo - even something to be ashamed of. Some people also feel certain stigmas surrounding menopause, wrinkles and age - which contribute to a negative story surrounding growing old.</p><br><p>In this week's podcast, we talk about the inconvenience of ageing, diving into what it means to be an 'elder', exploring our skewed relationship with menopause, with age and the ageing population, and how we can reclaim and celebrate the vitality and lifeforce within us which extends well beyond the physical body.</p><br><p>In this episode, we reference the following:</p><p><br></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.chrismcdougall.com/born-to-run/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Born To Run - Christopher McDougall</a> (book)</li><li><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/feb/06/young-old-and-marvellous-how-a-care-home-built-a-nursery-and-everyone-thrived" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Combining care homes and nurseries</a> (article)</li><li><a href="https://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/warning/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Warning - Jenny Joseph</a> (poem)</li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/campfiresam/?trk=public_profile_samename-profile&originalSubdomain=uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sam Crosby</a> (speaker)</li><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/priyaflorence/reel/DFzg7nRROmf/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The evolutionary reason for menopause</a> - Dr Roy Casgranda (video)</li></ul><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

<p>The mention of the word spiritual tends to trigger emotional responses - for some it is welcome, for some fear or rejection, for some trepidation, for some dismissal. Seeing ourselves as connected to the web of life is a natural way for so many of us to live, and yet we are also living in times of significant spiritual starvation. Whilst major religions, meditation and nature connection offer many people a deep sense of belonging in life, many are growing up without any spiritual connection to life, living without any sense of tethering to a story bigger than our human selves, and perhaps feeling a deep sense of lostness as a result.</p><br><p>In this week's podcast, Holly and I dive into a complex and wonderous conversation about the role of spiritual practice in our lives and cultural stories, exploring some of the blocks to spirituality as well as where we can begin to welcome simple, powerful ways to reconnect with the wonder of life into our daily practice.</p><br><p>In this conversation we refer to the following:</p><p><br></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.harrypottersacredtext.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Harry Potter and the Sacred Texts</a> (Podcast series)</li><li><a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/nativevoices/exhibition/healing-ways/medicine-ways/medicine-wheel.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Medicine Wheel </a>(Indigenous practice framework)</li><li><a href="https://vanessazoltan.com/eyre" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Praying with Jane Eyre</a> - Vanessa Zoltan (book)</li><li><a href="https://www.rebootthefuture.org/news/swifties-and-the-golden-rule" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Taylor Swift and the Golden Rule - Sandy Glanfield</a> (blog)</li></ul><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
